    When I first read about it I assumed it would have been a "poison pill" - a bad config where the ingestion of the config leads the process to crash/restart. And due to that crash o…

    As far as I remember from building these things with others within the async rust ecosystem (hey Eliza!) was that there was a certain tradeoff: if you wouldn’t be able to select on…

    Some other material that has been written by me on that topic: - Proposal from 2020 about async functions which are forced to run to completion (and thereby would use graceful canc…

    I've played that one a lot (hundreds of games on Evil difficulty). So far there's no guessing required after the initial click. Everything can be deducted. Even though some deducti…

    Clarification question: > When a NOTIFY query is issued during a transaction, it acquires a global lock on the entire database (ref) during the commit phase of the transaction, eff…

    I think the only guessing situation in the game is the starting point (first click). after that, everything can be solved by deduction.

    How does it work technically? Does Whatsapp expose these messages via an API? If yes, then it seems like this is not only on Google. If no: Are they reading data from raw UI widget…

    I'm wondering too. In general this seems to work only if there's a single offline client that accepts the writes. With limitations to the data scheme (e.g. have distinct tables per…

    Besides whats called out by others: It would be nice to have the usual action of "press both mouse buttons" on a number to open all non flagged fields around it. That reduces the a…

    If you want to stream data inside a HTTP body (of any protocol), then the ReadableStream/WritableStream APIs would be the appropriate APIs ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc…

    Duplex streams are not really a HTTP/2-only feature. You can do the same bidirectional streaming with HTTP/1.1 too. The flow is always: 1. The client sends a header set. 2. It can …

    If this is mainly useful for working with plain/uninterpreted byte arrays, then I wonder why we can't just do `[u8; N]::with_noinit()` method instead of doing the multi-line plus u…

    Are there any numbers/data for the quality of healthcare in the provinces over time? At least for housing I see the average home prices in each category (condos, townhomes, detache…

    io_uring reduces the overhead of system calls - but it doesn't do anything to reduce the overhead of the actual networking stack. If your send/receive calls spend most CPU time in …

    I agree that its a very subpar solution for programming, unless you value a lot of screen estate and can deal with tiny text. 4k/5k 27" screens with appropriate font scaling make t…

    I actually didn't understand it being phrased as a limitation. It could also be a feature - maybe one would prefer to look at logs for multiple services within a single query? Anyh…

    I've been working in that domain for a long time - including being one of the main architects for HTTP/3+QUIC in a public CDN offering. And I'll agree with everyone that this is ve…

    Why? If the pod is defined to spawn multiple containers, and each container runs the same application, then this seems true to me? Unless you would add an additional filter on the …

    yes it can, if you tag your log stream correctly - either by having the stream externally tagged via attributes, or internally by following certain conventions in the log line. You…

    It's not easy to cancel any future. It's easy to *pretend* to cancel any future. E.g. if you cancel (drop) anything that uses spawn_blocking, it will just continue to run in the ba…

    Among others: having to transmit 1200-1500byte packets individually to the kernel, which it will all route, filter (iptables, nftables, ebpf) individually instead of just acting on…

    Actually the benchmarks just measure the first part (cpu efficiency) since it’s a localhost benchmark. The gap will be most likely due to missing GSO if it’s not implemented. Its s…
