crypto does change. Maybe not specifications of specific algorithms, but which of them are supported may change. Do we want to break existing code when one of them will become deprecated or do we want to allow insecure method to be used to

> Python, for example, has arbitrary precision integers. In the spirit on nitpicking on edge cases: It does, but quiet often you pass a number to some C library (other than stdlib) and C does not honour this arrangement.

After spending some time on few forums I realized I miss heavily threaded discussions from NNTP times, so I started thinking about designing modern alternative (centralized, where server keeps track of messages you marked as read).

To get it working client-side you'd need to change the app, while the whole premise here is that you don't have to (and often can't). One point tracking what UA string are here and what they need is better than expecting ever

There is https://www.meilisearch.com/ Few others based on tantivy Sphinx Nothing matches Solr/ES on functionality though, and ES doesn't require anyone to deal with Java (until you need tweak perfomance).

They can and often are used for the same tasks. I ported code from Pyton to Rust several times to improve performance or memory usage. Both languages are fairly similar when it comes to syntax, language concepts and many Rust libraries are

Cargo is best there is in this domain so far. Poetry is good. I rarely use anything else. Important things: 1. Consider what developer need and what devops need. Those are different needs. 2. Packages should be immutable. 3. Take care about

Db idea of versioning usually is useless for implementing version control as git does. You could store git objects in a relational database and that makes a lot of sense (becasuse transactions and better data integrity guarantees). Biggest

You can use ES as data storage, and in that case SQL makes sense. It was originally created as full-text search utility, and for that part SQL is not very useful.

Games include music, so the answer for that part is "not at all". Many games offer music at additional cost, so there is a market for that. Also certainly some games made their music iconic in the same way movies used to do it.
