    The MySQL protocol is a lot saner and easier to implement than the pgsql one. I can imagine thats a factor? Once connected the sql dialect matters really little

    Curiously if you ask if they would consider properly supporting notifications from the mobile web version then the answer is always no. Pwa would be perfectly fine but its crippled…

    I believe the proper term for what i am describing is a recursive descent parser. With which it is also quite doable to generate proper error handling and even recovery. Some form …

    I think this makes it sound a lot more difficult than it has to be, with the formal theory. When it's really one of the most simple things if you divide it in parts and look at it …

    This has been said about pretty much every subject. Writing your own Browsers, compilers, cryptography, etc. But at least for me even if nothing comes of it just knowing how it rea…

    Sso should be the default really. And as a starting point every language has openid connect implemented. Yes it needs work but surely better than the average password reuse? For la…

    Macho executables don't contain debug info. Just references to .o files.

    The only thing missing with Json support now seems to be something like a gin index on jsonb fields to make querying efficiently on any member of the field itself.

    Does anyone know if SQLite has a public roadmap? This combined with a gin or gin like index would be a killer combination

    Does this also cover some kind of facetted search? (Counting the different colored and sized t-shirt) in an efficient way? As that is also a large part that elastic can do but Post…

    I couldn't find it in the docs but does this also support working in a htmx like mode? Where the server renders pages and it does partial updates of parts? Or what some frameworks …

    Does it have any kind of master/slave or replication abilities? Couldn't find anything in the docs.

    Parser generators generally suffer from at least speed, recovery, error handling and lack of debuggability. They also require you to learn a new language, the parser generators lan…

    But that's the right way to do it really... I remember an obscure thing in c# when var was introduced that if you have a type called 'var' in scope, type inference doesn't work and…

    I can't help but get the feeling that plan with Swift is to be the only language you can effectively use for Apple platforms, but also is probably going to be the language that wil…

    The annoying thing is that all these new libraries can only be used from swift. As interop with swift is a pain from any other language.

    The curious thing is that is isn't a bug in the debugger itself usually. It's the optimizer process that doesn't leave proper instructions of where "x" is at this point.

    No duplication. There's a single file where every type reference or method reference exists once. Note that it's not a library file. The compiled dll or exe has no relationship to …

    Sort of. I can't comment on Kotlin, but Swift is a different beast though. Swift's generics are very different from say c#, java or even c++ templates, especially when you mix them…

    In a way I'm happy rust does not have a stable abi. Swift does, but the stability is 'whatever apple swift emit'. Very little documentation, that what's there is out of date, so th…

    I tried this. Aot compiling with the .net runtime just isn't very practical. I know mono does this, with some guided info for reflection based classes. But the way the structure is…

    Note that C#, Pascal don't "know" about known types during parsing like parsing C/C++ requires, it knows how a type is formatted, what it's looking for is: ' ' If that's there, it'…

    Apple swaps around stuff for seemingly no reason pretty much every update. Making any compiler or debugger writers life a pain.
