it would be sorta enough to bundle the wasm binary

yes but no... most database allow for at least as many parallel and concurrent writes as there are tables at a minimum. The "lock on write" problem is that in MySQL i could run a OLAP pipeline for a few hours and have a fully func

What I mean is that unsafe code allows you to eg break std invariants (set invalid length to Vec, unlock a locked mutex, etc.) in ways that can be UB, which of these are UB and which can be used "safely" is sort of unknown. For be

To be pedantic the ad hominem fallacy is about trying to deny an argument by attacking the author, so in a discussion about zig Vs rust if Andrew isn't trying to enter the discussion and just argue "that guy was stinky, glad he is

Just use unsafe then

I agree with your point, but for completeness: > How is not having to mark your unsafe code as unsafe a good thing? The problem with unsafe code in Rust is that IIRC nobody actually figured out yet the "rules" of unsafe i.e. wh

Regexes should have been a structured language not an hodgepodge of DSLs

The issue is that many modern DOM APIs assume js semantics and types (eg promises, iterables, etc) so you need to "reimplement" some js semanthic in wasm; sorta like how apple added a few custom instructions on the M1 chip specif

I understand ai hate but I would rather avoid a future where everybody talks in purposely weird and unstructured sentences to avoid being similar to ai By necessity a lot of people write very similarly to how llm do

This does not address how much the JWT header is a security footgun (eg you can inline remote keys into the header). if you are doing something simple you can disable all "advanced" features and be pretty safe but if you are doing

Conceptually maybe you can compile flash to SVG+js but this has nothing to do with the point. Many insist (I have no direct experience) that the flash ecosystem (especially the editor) was and is unsurpassed as a publishing platform for int

Java's vm does not start in milliseconds nor has dozen independent implementations in every ecosystem

Because Java was doing nothing similar, a better comparison would be .NET CLR that actually tried to be a decent compilation target. Also security, Java has reflection so you cannot reliably sandbox java libraries

Long term archival is often also about long term support and there just going with the most popular/supported ones might be a safer bet, eg in the extreme case if I wanted to save some digital photos in a time capsule I would likely

federations are the only decentralization model that scales, the issue is that most "federated" systems are actually just "distributed centralization" eg mastodon.

In cryptosystems there is a difference between things that can be changed and not, eg passwords/keys are a secret that can be easily charged. Algorithms not so much. "Security through obscurity" refers to the practice of usin
