From my own experience SQLite works just fine as the container for an archive format. It ends up having some overhead compared to established ones, but the ability to query over the attributes of 10000s of files is pretty nice, and definite

I think this is good insight, and I would extend this further to “coming from a less strict language to a very strict one”. As someone who self-learned Rust around 1.0, after half a year of high school level Java 6, I’ve never had the probl

Possibly “(ver)änderbar” (changeable) to have a distinct keyword. “Mutierbar” would also work fine in German, but it was probably changed with the same reasoning that fn was to fk.

While I can't speak for MicroLua, this can indeed be accomplished with vanilla Lua. There are two things in play here: First, the _ENV variable here is special. It is implicitly used to lookup any identifier that has no visible binding

You are missing that the TOTP secret will only be presented once during setup. It is now a second factor because you need to prove possession of the secret by entering the current TOTP code during login. It will not be presented again, so

Interesting, I've recently spent an unhealthy amount of time researching archival formats to build the same setup of using SQLite with ZStd. My use case is extremely redundant data (specific website dumps + logs) that I want decently q

Seems about right for "Science and Technology", a variant of this question also shows up in German IHK (chamber of commerce) exams for software developer certifications, with a similar expected answer. Although you do sometimes ge

I imagine the author would disagree with that because it does not have the “right” behavior by default. For example indexing and length of the string are done by codeunit. [1] On the other hand Rakus Str type does behave similarly to Swifts

Using a `debugger;` statement allows you to trigger a breakpoint with code. This only gets activated when the devtools window is opened, so placing this statement in a frequently executed piece code will continuously interrupt whatever you

I must be misunderstanding the pricing (talk about confusing) or the value proposition. The way I understand it those $5 give you all the management features and $5 worth of compute. But compute costs $10 GB/month for RAM and $20 per v

Not making any statement regarding the mentioned workflow issues (I mostly agree with them), I really like iSH [1] for this sort thing. It’s a “good enough” solution for the “I just quickly need to do something in a terminal” problems. And

Many parts of the Swift toolchain are already open source [1], there is a Windows and even a WASM port [2]. The caveats are: - Xcode indeed isn’t, but you can use sourcekit-lsp for Swift development with some compromises. The experience h

But if you do follow that advice consider if it is worth just using a different escape character for all interpolations. That way could still make use of this very sensible syntax of reusing the escape for interpolation whilst avoiding th

Almost a year ago with Deno 1.22 type checking for TypeScript was default disabled. (i.E. you must manually request checking on the CLI, editors still do typechecking as before) At least in my microcosm of Deno-use the package quality degra

by SyrupThinker 4y ago
Does every project need to strive for maximum adoption? I guess because Deno is a company the answer is yes. But I think one of Deno’s initial appeals was “A JS/TS runtime for people that don’t want to deal with JavaScript status quo”.

I'm pretty sure GP meant Closure, considering the language has matching immutable data structures for mutable ones [^1] and even its own (limited) version of EDN called JDN. It’s definitely also inspired by it. [^1]: https:/&#x2F

I'm going to slightly lean against this notion. For me personally the actual value of HN is the number of people that have some neat insights on niche topics, rather than it being a "good" place for discussion in comparison t
