Cross-building for Apple is possible, but it's far from smooth with many steps that you have to figure out by yourself unfortunately.

TypeScript compiles to JavaScript. It means both `tsc` and the TS program can share the same platform today. With a TSC in Go, it's no longer true. Previously you only had to figure out how to run JS, now you have to figure out both ho

Very nice article. I agree with the theses and the resulting design makes sense. Regarding context handling, one issue that I struggle with is where the context should be attached: by the caller or callee? In particular, in the context of i

Great reply and it mirrors some of my reflections. For Rust errors, I consider defining a single error enum for the crate or module to be an anti-pattern, even if it's common. The reason is because of what you described: the variants n

What is the issue with TOML maps and sequences compared to YAML? My main gripe was that inline tables had to be single line, but the restriction is lifted in TOML 1.1.0.

The solution that you propose is a great relatively-lightweight solution for enums compatible with `erasableSyntaxOnly`. I see also other comments discussing other solutions which are worth comparing. From my side, I wanted to keep nominal

I assume that they mean that you can use Rust as a language without its standard library. This matters here since the Kernel does not use Rust's standard library as far as I know (only the core module). I'm not aware of semver bre

Rust's panics are recoverable, so they're more like exceptions. This means that you may need to care about "unwind" safety and values in a potentially invalid state. It's the main reason for mutex poisoning and havi

If you clone the environment at startup, then you get a situation where code in the same binary can see different values depending if it uses libc or Rust's std. It's also no longer the same environment as in the process metadata.

It can't ensure synchronization because any code using libc could bypass the sync wrapper. In particular, Rust lets you link C libs which wouldn't use the Rust stdlib.

I haven't finished listening yet; but it should be made clear that Rust claimed to prevent double frees and use-after-free errors but never claimed to prevent memory leaks. Memory leaks were actually decided to be fully safe just befor

Really? I know that SQL is old but I would have expected `null` to refer to pointers at first. Going by Wikipedia, I see that SQL is from 1974 and C from 1972. Were there earlier uses/drafts where `null` is "unknown" instead
44.
by demurgos 2y ago
Just to clarify, I'm not advocating to introduce a new `unknown` keyword. I'm saying that the existing `null` in SQL was not named properly and that the name `unknown` would have been more fitting. SQL's `null` already has th

The main pain point for smaller apps is that every major Postgres version requires an explicit migration of the underlying data representation. I get why it's there, but for simpler apps I would appreciate a flag to do it transparently

> select null = null; returns NULL, because each NULL is basically a placeholder representing any “unknown value”. Two unknown values are not necessarily the same value; we can’t say that they are equal, because we don’t know the value o

I don't want it this way: it mixes a data model concern (timestamps) with a ui concern (calendars). As other have said, it would be much better if we used TAI and handled leap seconds at the same level as timezones.

Dependent types can make type constructors generic over _values_ (instead of only types). Refinement types keep the separation between types and values, but they let you wrap an existing type to enforce extra constraints or semantics. Anoth

by demurgos 2y ago
Yes, it's the standard way if you want implicit compat with the base type, so you can pass a value of type `A` to a function expecting a `string`. An other name for this pattern is "branded types".

ESM is the closest to a major version for JS. It forces strict mode, which includes many non-backwards compatible changes [0]. Most notably, it removes the `with` statement. Other examples of removals are octal literals or assignments to un

Thanks, I was a bit worried that maybe the initial comment was not a good fit. I've read the article, but had more to say about OpenTelemetry rather than Grafana. We use Grafana at work, with their Tempo product for trace analysis. We

Why are you accusing me of posting an LLM reply?! I just shared that I enjoyed using and contributing to OpenTelemetry. I never used an LLM. Do I really need to prove that I'm human? - a couple PRs I posted to the Rust impl: https:&#x

OpenTelemetry is nice overall as there are library for multiple platforms. I introduced it this year for a web game platform with servers in Node, Java, PHP and Rust and it all worked roughly similarly which made it good for consistency. I

The problem are timing attacks leaking the navigation history. An attacker can load a lib shared with some other site. Based on the load time he may then learn if the user visited the target site recently.

People may disagree on specifics, but you're definitely right that being able to separate the function signature from its definition would be very helpful in complex cases.

You linked a more general FAQ for the GPL. Would you have a more specific quote or link for interactions with AGPL code?
