    Even if the purchasing entity is backed by a foreign country?

    But many of the listed hypotheticals are not dependent (on top) on others, and since there are multiple that actually increases probability of an undesirable outcome.

    Yes these can be used as alternatives sometimes, but they are not really the same thing. We need a streamlined way for reusable libraries (written in different languages) to be con…

    Exactly! It's surprising to me how little development is happening in this area.

    What about a better ABI abstraction?

    Can you share source of this data? I have my doubts about the quality of the data, since OAuth2 is such a complex system with so many footguns. In the end there is always some long…

    I agree with what you said. I just wanted to add that intelligent models probably need to have some notion embedded (but not everything), as some information retrieval is not trivi…

    Understanding of a specific problem space can be a prerequisite to be able to form a proper query (i.e. to ask the correct question). Model doesn't know what it doesn't know.

    Ah, now I see what you meant.

    Of course you can have reactive state, your complaint however was: "The react in react stands for reactivity, however it is not." [because] "Its entire state management is not reac…

    UI is reactive, not state. You push changes to state and UI reacts to it.

    > It roughly compares with GPT-4.1 (!!), released 14 months ago I think the mayor win for coding was reasoning. That's why such a small model can match GPT-4.1 in coding, but I sus…

    It's not arguing that predictive power is bad. Just that people often mistakenly believe some phenomenon is understood more deeply than it really is, because a model can fit data a…

    One interesting thing about Barman is that it just uses PG's own backup utilities. It doesn't implement custom parsers and things like that. So, there's less maintenance work neede…

    pg_probackup seems to be another one.

    This project looks nice, albeit a bit young for a backup tool. Did you encounter any issues or limitations?

    Is that info up-to-date? Their readme states: **Backup types** - **Logical** — Native dump of the database in its engine-specific binary format. Compressed and streamed directly to…

    Handling of exceptions is not enforced at compile time, while ownership is. Better example might be statically typed languages. They were harder to use at first, but now with good …

    Reference counting is a form of garbage collection.

    Type unions only at first, but there's more being planned.

    You can use dependencies that aren't using nullable reference types in projects that use it. You can enable/disable nullable reference types per file, as it only influences static …

    .NET JIT supports dynamic PGO.

    That's due to trimming which can be also be enabled for self-contained builds that use JIT compilation. Trimming is mandatory for AOT though. But you can use annotations to prevent…

    Which part of the ecosystem is blocking your projects from using nullable references? I find them very helpful, but the projects were all newer or migrated to new SDK.
