It's fair to distrust something because you were burned by using it in the past. However, both the examples you named -- Postgres and FoundationDB -- have had similar concurrency a…

MongoDB (via WiredTiger) has used MVCC to solve this problem since transactions were introduced.

Yes, I have worked on an application that pushed enormous volumes of data through MongoDB's transactions. Deadlocks are an application issue. If you built your application the same…

Jepsen found a more concerning consistency bug than the above results when Postgres 12 was evaluated [1]. Relevant text: We [...] found that transactions executed with serializable…

MongoDB has supported the equivalent of Postgres' serializable isolation for many years now. I'm not sure what "with strong consistency benefits" means.

Agreed that this property is useful for efficiency. The danger comes from users believing this property is a guarantee and making correctness decisions based on it. There is no suc…

I agree with the characterization of applications you've laid out and think everyone should consider whether they're working on a "tall" (most users use a narrow band of functional…

Sure, I understand how to authenticate to my remote machine with a smartcard (and already do use this setup). I'm wondering how to authenticate to resources (over HTTP) from my rem…

Doesn't this only solve the problem for resources I am accessing over SSH? What about if I wanted to access something over HTTP like my web browser does?

Maybe I'm just missing something, let me explain: I've already ssh'd to my work machine. I want to send an HTTP request to my company's internal web API from that machine, but we o…

Sorry, I think I missed something because the article doesn't mention GPG at all. How can you make a webauthn client defer to gpg-agent?

How do you authenticate from a machine that isn't local to you? I don't do any work on my work-issued laptop, I use a powerful remote machine instead.

While this might make this situation more likely to occur, you can never prevent concurrent accesses from happening in a distributed system.

This Bubblewrap is much older than the one you've linked.

Lots of people being negative about this, but if you've ever implemented anything that works in near-real-time at wide scale, most of this design makes sense and it works great. On…

You can still use a dedicated diff tool for these situations if they come up regularly. In my experience they are better than vim anyhow.

kubernetes can use anything that conforms to the CRI interface, which in practice is either CRI-O (RedHat) or Containerd (Docker, Inc.). Podman and Docker are also consumers of bot…

Not everyone agrees that TCP support is required for DNS: https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/994667677112156161 Though I don't personally agree with that reading of the RFC.

500,000 requests/day is ~6 requests per second.

In general I agree with you, but Go's simple syntax means that there are extremely few (if any? I've never run into one) edge cases with checking that an error was at least conside…

https://github.com/kisielk/errcheck Every Go project I've worked on has used this linter. I think it should be builtin, but it's very easy to incorporate.

It would appear that the changeset the OP was having trouble getting through review is here: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/text/+/421914

If I'm reading your feedback correctly it sounds like you want: 1) Syntactic sugar for if err != nil { return err }; similar to ? in Rust 2) The errcheck linter to be enforced (par…
