    Maybe you could benefit from Hooks?

    How does this work with a monorepo with hundreds of teams around the globe? If you break the trunk, that means no other teams can release

    The design is postgres. It's our customers that do stateful things on those connections. Unfortunately it's tools like pgdump/pgrestore that are not tolerant to connection interrup…

    In my experience, it's a monorepo problem. We have a monorepo at work and the CI only runs a minority of tests prior to merging, and then reverts bad commits later. It can take a f…

    I've been introducing feature flags into our component at work. The reason why rollbacks isn't sufficient for us is that our service is semi-stateful (postgres connections are stat…

    I used past tense for a reason ;)

    I never saw the point in Diataxis, but honestly while vibe coding it's pretty convenient to tell an LLM "do diataxis" and get decent first pass documentation out of it.

    Their harness is indeed nice, but we're using it against our own AI Gateway at work. Right now we only expose GPT models on it, but I imagine it's possible to add our own models ev…

    As far as I understand, no. They're suggesting that smaller context windows are typically cheaper (fewer input tokens over time).

    I don't like the idea of this using bitcoin. I wonder if it's possible to build this off of regular PKI - certificate transparency logs for instance encode the proof of commitment,…

    What I think you're trying to say, but don't seem to be getting across super clearly, is that this standard hasn't yet gone through an open third party review

    I should publish it at some point (it's just a simple bash script), but I made a convenient alias `git bisect-rebase` which helps catch up very old branches. It isn't particularly …

    I don't immediately follow how Rust breaks the ecosystem. Rust has very good C FFI support and fully supports the default C ABI. It just requires unsafe bindings.

    Given your performance concerns, I'm imagining you're unlikely to run Zig-Fil in practice, due to the GC overhead?

    I am 6'7". I regularly have to ask the person in front not to recline on some layouts. I get aisle/exit row seats if possible, but sometimes it's just not possible. For euro city f…

    Hi, I work on Lakebase (but not on storage), here's how I understand it. For Lakebase and Neon, our architecture needs the caching layer regardless (what we call Pageservers). Perf…

    Fearless concurrency has always been regarding data races. There's no fear of undefined behaviour due to a race condition. Rust has never promised to solve race conditions as a who…

    How is it a poor choice of words? It might not be "native" UI, but they never claimed as such. I've always felt that native UI on Linux always looks incredibly ugly and I'd much ra…

    It can also be encoded as a bloom filter for very fast checks. Then you can defer to the replicated LSMTree that's stored replicated on your local node

    Glad I've jumped ship to Zed+ACP. I liked the idea of the new agent window view, but it's obviously slop and hasn't had a any polish or care put behind it given the number of bugs …

    Does quicksort explain the mechanics of the algorithm?

    It was alluded to in the post - contributors turn into maintainers. Someone who contributes has a small but plausible chance of sticking around. For an open source project that isn…
