My expectation would be that every bug in a Rust replacement is going to receive the brightest spotlight that can be found. If the rest of coreutils is bug free cast the first stone. I do not think reimplementing stuff in Rust is a bad thin

For a university self service portal that was a green field project I selected Argon2 as the password hashing algorithm. For evaluation I went pretty deep into how to implement password storage myself, to then opt for OpenLDAP, which we use

That is how it should be yeah. In reality you will find pockets of utter incompetence in nearly every organization of considerable size. And I don't mean people who sometimes have bad days (who hasn't?) or struggle with partic

If someone pissed off our sysadmin he would say something among the lines of: "Quiet, you are aware I could replace you with a simple script?"

That would be the interesting information. I can't imagine Behringer didn't test the parctical limits before running a digital signal via unknown impedance XLR cables. So if they did these tests it would be nice to know the actual

For a car audio system? Behringer drives that through a bog-standard unknown impedance XLR microphone cable. I am not saying more than 15m aren't possible, what I am saying is that this is a thing Behringer would need to mention. E.g.

Good addition. I mentioned the forward/backward bit as this was a way to achieve linear phase in analog times eith more conventional filters (although the cost here was even higher with the additional added noise floor due to tape nois

by atoav 1y ago
You have a slight misunderstanding here about the phase shift bit. Technically filters don't cause phase shift, phase shift causes filters. That means in the analog world all realtime filters come with phase shift, if they didn'

Yeah makes sense, with docker in the mix the things uv brings are less interesting, although using uv for small one-off scripts is also an interesting application (there is a way of making uv your shebang, declaring sependencies within the

By this point I feel reminded of a former collegue I ate lunch with, who would repeatedly make jokes about how "vegans constantly need to talk about their veganism". During our shared time he brought that topic up probably a hundr

Granted, but that is relevant to the point I made in which way? In reality you will have people running different OS versions. Maybe not within one org, but across users? For sure. If you are not using containers for one reason or another

So you say I am lying?

Ever had customers deploy your project on 4 different debian versions without docker? Probably not, because there are problems lurking you didn't even know could exist. And 99% of them are gone with uv.

Yeah, but it sold itself on its merrits. That is the point. Maybe venv and pip works fine for some toy projects that are deployed on the developer controlled OS without regular dependency updates, but let me assure you I had hours of fights

A sure way to learn why it is needed would be to: 1. Write code that crosses a certain complexity treshold. Let's say tou also need compiled wheels for a performance critical section of a library that was written in Rust, have some non

To be frank, the clear problem with configuration format is that people have configurations so complex they probably should use something else. Example: We are programming a backend for a blog. If we were to not use templates, but instead t

Started converting every repo over to uv. I had some weird and hard to deal with dependencies before. Every single one was easier to solve than before. It just works and is blazingly fast. Absolute no-brainer.

Arguments only matter if we assume totally rational actors. There is ample evidence that this could potentially be a faulty assumption. A questiom: What do you think, do people first have an emotion and then try to rationalize it? Or do the

Cool. But they are now on my blacklist until further notice. I recommend everybody to do the same. Companies shouldn't just reverse feret their way out of trouble. Make stupid decisions have consequences.
