    I'm willing to bet that 95% of people using tailscale for CI have a 90 day (max days) ephemeral, reusable auth key somewhere in their setup.

    Also probe-rs went from barely working to working somewhat to now being back again to barely working for most chips

    Wow. With a web service in Go or any similar language that would measure in the thousands, at least .

    Well references in python are mutable by default, so you essentially combine an asynchronous model with mutable shared state. Combine that model with unknown caller exceptions in a…

    I'm out. No place that has ever publicly advertised itself to be "political" has ever changed for the beter.

    Ive has potential that needs to be steered, and if Altman has shown one thing it's that he can't direct this employees.

    PayPal Germany is a different beast. Germans are the only country that majorly doesn't rely on Credit Cards when doing online payment.

    Competition is fierce and there's only so much innovation you can do as a payment service provider

    I am so so glad to not be at either PayPal or IBM right now.

    Everyone knows someone who has a story like this. Not a good look for a major PSP.

    Braintree also is and isn't compatible with the legacy PayPal stack, of which there are 3 layers, depending on whom you ask.

    Yes, sadly.

    It's the wrong abstraction though and I am kind of not surprised the Bun maintainers went way. The correct abstraction would be to translate into Rust while using `clone` and `copy…

    This isn't propaganda, the Rust compiler's rules when using the unsafe keyword are difficult to uphold, which is why the community wrote Miri.

    It's true and I write Rust and love it dearly. There is an entire book about working with the unsafe keyword and its aliasing rules: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/working-with-…

    There is almost zero reason for a public facing, non-embedded project like Bun to use unsafe anywhere .

    Comment #48892831

    This is untrue. You can do a file by file translation by using clone and copy liberally. After you're done, you can incrementally introduce borrowing.

    Hard to believe when they could use this opportunity to hurt a competitor.

    Comment #48865285

    Thank you. I write quite a lot of unsafe code myself and while safe Rust is much easier to get right than C, I'd say unsafe Rust is at least 10x harder to do correctly. Rustc's ali…
