    Correct, see the github mirror[1]. I don't know how well supported that feature is compared to main branch. If it was completely stable, then it would have already landed in the ma…

    It does, but the map has a reference to it, so it will "leak" (in gc languages an unwanted reference is considered a leak). If this map got rather large, you could end up with a ra…

    Citation required on this one... gVisor is used in a lot of places[1] that require more performance than a clock. I'm not saying you can't achieve more performance with C++/rust, w…

    Ignoring Postgres and comparing apples to apples, rqlite has limitations on "safe" SQL statements[1]. This might be a big deal breaker for you than it might for others. As dqlite r…

    It depends what you call a deal. Are they new trade deals from scratch, absolutely not. Are they trade deals that have been copied from the EU trade deals to satisfy ongoing deals …

    I didn't know about this plugin and now I do. So more fool them! See how to install manually here - https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/102#issuecomment-8... and I don't mind…

    I wonder if they'll try and make[1] Uber drivers opt out of the maximum weekly working time limit and would they even be paid for overtime? 1. Officially your employer can't make y…

    This isn't highlighted high enough, and the lack of what makes a good PR that shows new contributors the best way forward isn't shown enough. Yet I standby my statement, you're not…

    (parent post tried to abolish blame and called out the grandparent post as the issue, hence why the lack of continuation) I don't, you messed up! The fact that you're actually ince…

    I think it will come down to PRs accepted. So it's your mess in the end as it depends on the companies strategy.

    Yes you can, or you could when I was using < 1.0.0. It made developing with it really easy.

    I used Dqlite for a side project[1], which replicates some of the features of LXD. Was relatively easy to use, but Dqlite moves at some pace and trying to keep up is quite "interes…
