    Which Linux version did you use for the io_uring tests? Unless I missed it I don't see it mentioned.

    That's not going to happen. Check out "induced demand".

    What advantage does pg_repack have when you only rebuild an index? Or do you mean it has advantage when pg_repack is run on the entire table?

    Basically, their answer is yes. First, under this system, long-term speculation is not really viable, due to the high tax. So the buyer must have some reason for paying higher than…

    Java actually doesn't need to add any features for it to support this, it needs to remove them. I recommend reading this excellect article: http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/wha…

    This is so obviously what needs to happen, it's really surprising it's not a feature in all major languages by now. I bet in 10 years time, giving dependencies complete control wou…

    PSI is a perfect fit for htop. I sent a PR to add it some time ago ( https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/pull/890 ) but it hasn't been merged yet.

    We've been using it for some time as well, not even with a random value, just `X-Entity-Ref-ID: null` works too. Found it through some obscure StackOverflow answer.

    I think object-capabilities are one way to have much safer code reuse. Suppose a dependency exports a class UsefulService. In current languages, such a class can do anything - acce…

    One reason I still use git grep is this: I have some minified .js files in the repository, which I don't want to be included in grep results. So I mark the files as binary in gitat…

    I think it would be neat if WebAssembly were embedded in other languages, like it is in JavaScript now. For example, suppose Python had a WebAssembly engine. I bet that could repla…

    Well, surely you put the line somewhere? Would you depend on `leftpad`? How about `is-odd`? Your view of dependencies is very idealistic. And if I'd venture to guess - apologies if…

    A dependency for uuid4 is hardly needed: crypto = require('crypto'); function uuid4() { const bytes = crypto.randomBytes(16); bytes[6] = (bytes[6] & 0x0f) | 0x40; bytes[8] = (bytes…
