Super cool. Reading the subject-line-only requirement, I love it, but the nerd in me is like, "just only accept the text/plain MIME-type!". But, yeah either way very cool B)

This isn't really responsive to the question. The C memory model is basically defined in stdatomic.h [0]. It's around 10 pages and describes affordances you almost never, ever see. > In addition, there are no guarantees as to h

It might, but it might not. This is actually undefined behavior, so it might do anything. This is part of C's complexity: it abstracts memory such that it mostly seems like a big array, but the addresses you're getting bear no res

Yeah but if you choose something like BigQuery you really don't need microservices, and thus you probably don't need a distributed auth solution either.

Yeah I think there are fundamental challenges with microservices that are very hard to address unless you're someone like Google and you can invent BigTable and Zanzibar. It used to be you needed to move processing into app code and ou

Some people want more than that, e.g. they want to fix their printer but the driver is closed source, so they start the GNU project and the broader free software movement, responsible for almost all software innovation for decades.
