Refactorings and redesings could easily span 1k lines even for small projects. Yes, almost always you could make it incremental, but total lines counts would increase and it requires hard planing beforehand. Too much fuzz.

Generic robust replicated log would be nice to have. For two products I've implemented leaderless oplog to back application level replication to sync not only database changes but also configuration files and other needed data. Works l

Defined silent signed overflow (wrapping) is worse then UB. For UB there is at least runtime diagnostic. Parent clearly ok with `-fwrapv`.

by bvrmn 3y ago
Oh shi, not very reassuring knowledge spacecraft SW engineers allow signed overflow in their code.

> Saying “ninety kilobecquerel” and writing “90 kBq” is a lot more convenient than “ninety thousand requests per second” and “90,000 requests/s”. I think current norm is 90k rps (or qps, but it's clear in both cases).

bash has builtin support for vi-style navigation. It's kinda convenient to use same keys to edit shell command string.

MQTT as a transport is a part of elaborate spec describing client/server state machine. There is nothing similar for HTTP.
309.
by bvrmn 3y ago
HTTP is a transport. It doesn't have any other properties besides you could make a request and hopefully get a response. Semantic is defined by actual client/server implementations with corresponding backend.

I could add 2c. If you ever need to store some meta alongside the message in a DB. For example status, some execution history, etc. Then it's better to avoid MQ at all. Of course if you can scale DB access from workers and you can coup

Unfortunately I have no first hand experience with bisync mode. Only use rclone for pushing backups to clouds where it shines.

There is rclone bisync.

Same reasoning then should be applied for PRQL. My issue is unfair depiction of PRQL as "simple" and "concise". BTW most modern differs show changed parts of line which really helps not to bother with diff-friendly forma

by bvrmn 3y ago
It's not very good from prql devs to use artificially bloated (line wise) examples to show SQL is bad. from employees select {id, first_name, age} sort age take 10 vs SELECT id, first_name, age

Even small python program has enormous state beyond the reach of automatic reduction to TLA+ model. BTW TLA+ is not too hard for basic usages. I argue it's much simpler than PlusCal because doesn't have additional semantic layer

It seems key-pair is generated only once. Could be great to get fresh for every request.

Yeah but in Zig there is flexibility how you want to handle the error opposed to Java. You don't need to rewrap everything in RuntimeException and error sets allows to specify extended set of errors without much boilerplate.

And what prevents to run stunnel on Linux? Is there a way to specify remote address or remote run to use TLS to wrap your application transparently in plan 9? Otherwise plan 9 on the same abstraction level.

jai feels like a set of easy but not very deep sugar extensions around c. There is no big though story about aliasing, ABI and call optimizations in jai unfortunately. There are dozens of similar projects (V lang, caught caught, C3, ...) fr

Adding additional function argument is quite a stretch to be called as color change. For application code you could use global allocator though.

Unless you don't need full fledged operator overloading to do math. For example there is @Vector.

These remote pipes are a largely a pipe dream due to very agile crypto scene. It requires a bloated spec to describe policies and be interoperable standard nobody would use. `command1 | ssh host process | command2` works perfectly fine.

> As for losing data with Git, the easiest way to accomplish that is with data that hasn't been committed yet Also Git has pretty awful behavior losing changes when one doesn't press "Save" in their IDE. Bad, bad Git.

Does anybody know what makes refresh key is more secure than login/password? I'm quite dumb and don't understand how OAuth make apps more secure. Also maybe someone knows how to get read only token for IMAP access? Last time

Yes a great tool which breaks existing project tomls on update. Before poetry you had one issue and two with.
