FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Architecture of GitLab as an Open Source Project

In this talk I'll briefly explain how GitLab was composed from different components, and what do each different components do, and how I contribute to GitLab. If you would also like to contribute to GitLab, then you'll certainly need to know where you need to get started for the contribution you want to make. This talk would be a nice introduction for you. If you are just interested in large software architecture in general, then this should also be interesting for you.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

~~Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.~~

Use curl to get the JSON response for the latest release
Use grep to find the line containing file URL
Use cut and tr to extract the URL
Use wget to download it

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*deb" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \

General Setup

Get GitLab admin user details
Get GitLab sync user details
Get GitHub admin user details

GitHub -> GitLab Sync Setup

Select source GitHub repo
Either: Select/create destination GitLab repo

Background

Solutions I've tried

Git repo directly checked out in home directory
- Noisy
- Have to ignore *, everything is a --force
- Juggling machine variations is a pain
Homesick / Homeshick
