   One of the worst blunder of my recent career is not pushing against amplify enough. I know it is not cool to diss on others' work, but amplify is so wrong on so many level (for my use case) it really is painful. Want to go off the main

   mysql e pg have different performance characteristics, it is not trivial to migrate existing applications between them. Overall, MySQL 8 has gotten a lot better than it used to be. Sometimes the query planner can be a bit stupid on some com

   Agreed. And one of the most difficult one to get right in security sensitive contexts.

   Disclaimer: I know nothing about the particular bug. Postel's Law has its tradeoffs, and its fuzzy lines are a nice place for security issues to arise.

    I haven't coded c++ professionally since a couple of standards ago. However, I believe that something like c++ modules can be picked up quickly even by "middle of the talent pool" devs, because it's a useful feature for

    If you didn't want people to think it's a joke, why have you posted it less than two months _before_ April first? Also, do you have RSS on the blog? I've missed it on February, sorry

    It would be nice if CompressionStreams would also get brotli/zstd support. I wonder if the js engine uses the same implementation of the browser

    I agree with your other points but the first point misses the mark. Even you specify a format, you cannot use the file for exporting data between systems and organizations if they don't all agree on that format. CSV does not have a rea

    But maybe you can superoptimize some hot sections, and encode the superoptimizer findings somewhere. Then the compiler can validate the optimizations and apply them to the particular piece of code for the rest of the program life, untill th

    Yes. But in the meantime one can experiment with new things, void some assumptions. And I don't know about the LLVM project, but its quite more difficult to try different ideas in a big and old organization and codebase than it is in a

    Being readable as english for the business people was a fad of the era. It didn't pan out, it made a mess. I still want to view the results of a controlled trial to test that hypothesis... Personally English is very different from my l

    Nice! I've found this kind of tools really useful and love the merge functionality. I've skimmed the README but maybe I've missed the info: does toolong support multiline logs like stacktraces? Or is it possible to customize
