Kimwoolf and Aisuru kind of make my point better than yours, I think?

Yeah, I'm reminded of 15 years ago being told Linux was super secure because people were popping Windows all the time. Turns out it was mostly just a function of effort pointed at …

I deeply appreciate Mullvad's thorough approach to privacy and ethics. In this day and age, you all are an absolute breath of fresh air. Thanks for that.

Postgresml closed up shop, the guy you're replying to was one of the key players there. Pgrx is trucking right along, and gaining speed at the moment.

Cloudflare's developer platform uses them. That's what their "bindings" are.

It is not. They went about 5 years without one of these, and had a handful over the last 6 months. They're really going to need to figure out what's going wrong and clean up shop.

Nope. The slope has been slippery, but way back at the top of it there were zero ads on the page.

Go sits at about the same level of abstraction as Python or Java, just with less OO baked in. I'm not sure where go's reputation as "low-level" comes from. I'd be curious to hear w…

I happen to work at a company that uses a ton of capnp internally and this is the first time I've seen it mentioned much outside of here. Would you mind describing what about it yo…

Anyone who still takes predictive statements from leadership at AI companies as anything other than meaningless noise isn't even trying.

I think you're mistaking the name of a cardinal direction for a cohesive set of political ideologies.

> a change in a leaf function in a little file in a random helper module could introduce asynchronocity which propagates all the way up to your `pub fn main` If this doesn't make t…

If information is important enough to bother someone asking for a copy of it, but not important enough to spend an hour ingesting, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Hosting and operating the autoscaling of the various services (compute, pageserver, safekeeper, storage broker) that it takes to make all that work is complex enough that most folk…

That's reasonable. I think major restrictions that cause you to need to refactor your code when going from debug to release are a footgun and a half, but that'd at least be defensi…

This is the exact same attitude as people who threw tantrums about seatbelt laws in the 90s. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now. For mostly the same reasons.

I would pay some real money for the rust equivalent of this kind of material. Anyone got a book or repo they like and would recommend?

Yeah, 100% with you on that.

This is completely wrong. Kids can easily learn to read at age 5. A child who is working on "basic reading proficiency" at 8 is very behind and has not been well-served by the peop…

Termdebug works great with gdb, and I get my usual editor features as well as the full functionality of gdb. Seems fine to me. Before I switched from emacs I had an equivalently go…

I think this mischaracterizes the state of the space. Iceberg is the winner of this competition, as of a few months ago. All major vendors who didn't directly invent one of the oth…

I'd vote for you. God damn I wish this was the world we lived in.

Tacking on my own article about git bisect run. It really is an amazing little tool. https://andrewrepp.com/git_bisect_run
