You mean by having a function per fragment? I don’t think this solves the hard to maintain bit - which is “which fragments should I regenerate/send”, and how do I keep that list up…

The agent should ask whether it's allowed to read/write particular files, rather than whether it's allowed to run particular commands. It would be much easier to review. Then wrap …

We use this for migrations: https://david.rothlis.net/declarative-schema-migration-for-s... Discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31249823 But it would be a lot bett…

It's not diverse in that case - it's the same compiler source compiled to binaries twice - it's just that with one compiler you've gone via a C intermediate representation. For the…

I use mmap with my SQLite database[1] because I have many concurrent SQLite connections (one per concurrent HTTP request) and I don't want each connection to have its own 2MB cache…

The context is in the sentence before your quote: > The memory map can be used as a read-only or read-write map. So presumably lmdb writes to the database using the `pwrite` syscal…

> A good fix (which is the only acceptable fix in open-source software), is one that speaks for itself. I disagree. Often if I'm making a PR to an open-source project I'm doing so …

I disagree. An HTML website which uses links, forms, buttons and inputs will by default: * Have working back/forward buttons * Have working progress indicator as provided by the br…

I design all my services expecting to receive sockets this way. It makes sandboxing easy as the service itself doesn't need network access to have a listening socket. It's a shame …

Wonderful. I love the poem at the end too.

I've implemented something similar in the past, but using inotify. You need to watch the -wal file for IN_MODIFY. To make it work reliably I found I had to run: BEGIN IMMEDIATE TRA…

SQLite in mmap mode (not the default) will use mmap for reading. It will still use write using `pwrite` so it can detect and recover from write failures. See https://www.sqlite.org…

Business logic tests will rarely test what happens to your data if a machine loses power.

It's a shame that unix tools don't support file descriptors better. The ability to pass a file (or stream, or socket etc) directly into a process is so powerful, but few commands a…

US borders are awful. I guess you get away with it because the USA is so large that most people rarely leave, so rarely have to experience it.

I guess that means you're using the colloquial meaning of the word safety/unsafe rather than the rust definition. It's worth being explicit about that (or choosing a different word…

> in C only specific language features are unsafe and not all code Using rust's definition of unsafe which is roughly "can cause undefined behaviour" then it seems to me isolating …

Use a connection per-thread instead. By sharing a connection across threads you’ll be limiting concurrency - and transactions won’t work as you’d expect. SQLite connections are not…

Retries won’t work in that case. Would be better to have two endpoints: get the time in x seconds and wait until time passed. That way retrying the wait endpoint will work fine and…

No, actually the biggest difference is removing the `filter` property from the `.wave2` class which is used for rendering the background. With that removed the page is responsive e…

It's also perfectly responsive if you disable JavaScript. Maybe something related to the --positionX and --positionY CSS variables that are updated on every mouse move?

What stickers did you used to have? I'm always fascinated with how people change their mind.

Looks like it's caused by `backdrop-filter: blur(6px);` on `.menu-content`. After disabling that it's slow, but not that slow. Edit: This is with Firefox 144 on Ubuntu 22.04
