If you maintain k6, can I log a complaint? I feel like I used to be able to run the CLI with just an URL and it would issue GET requests to it -- without needing a .js script to run Am I crazy, did this never exist? Please bring back/a

I'm not sure if I fully understand what exactly "Ayb" is. Maybe a diagram/visual image would help to clarify the flow and architecture? From the example it seems like it is a CLI that will create SQLite databases, and th

What I always thought was interesting was that when you take psychedelics, despite whether it's mushrooms, LSD, or 2C-B (and what have you), you can feel this little ball of energy in your stomach (particularly noticeable when starting

I'll challenge that, to me this is a no-brainer with mountains of evidence. You can look at research about using antibiotics or fecal-matter transplants and outcomes on both physiological and psychological health. Too many to list for

At the very least, it could return an intersection type that is equivalent to the known keys in the object so you get autocomplete, but allow other arbitrary properties of unknown type: type FrozenObject<T> = { readonly [K in ke

Calling "Object.freeze()" and then asking for the keys/values/entries of a frozen object should be able to return a properly-typed value. But it doesn't do this =(

The second someone makes a successor language that seamlessly/directly interops with C++ _AND_ has the level of build/IDE tooling that C++/Rust have, I'm on board. The closest thing right now is Sean Baxter's "

When I was 18, at my first dev job, I was put in charge of trying to migrate and modernize an old PHP app for a client. I had been there maybe 6 months. For some reason I can't recall I was meant to delete the staging RDS database. Wel

That's really cool. Any chance you'd be able to link the relevant parts of the code? I had a look through the "/pg" directory but there was a lot there and it wasn't immediately clear which parts did what

You could have used Kotlin if you wanted to stay on the JVM and use coroutines. Your desired pseudo-code in Java would look like this in Kotlin: coroutineScope { // Drive backward launch { while (

The "go-to" GraphQL server implementation varies based on language. Here are the popular ones to my knowledge: - Node.js: GraphQL Yoga + Fastify, Apollo Server - Java/Kotlin: Netflix DGS (built on top of Spring Boot) - Scala:

Yeah, Kotlin does have the colored-function problem, in the same way that Node/JS has. Loom and Virtual Threads are one area I'm not as familiar with. What I do know is that you can configure virtual threads as the coroutine dispa

I adore TypeScript -- JS/TS has been my primary language for most of my career. Kotlin has a few things that TS doesn't have but overall, I'd rate it very similarly. I probably enjoy writing TS a bit more than Kotlin. EDIT: T

I can give perspective as someone who enjoys modern Java, writes Kotlin at their dayjob (and loves it), and also likes Scala 3. Here are the things that if Java had, I probably wouldn't see a reason for other languages: 1. Lack of firs

That's fair, and I'm inclined to agree. Just wanted to point out there wasn't _really_ nothing new, even if it might have been somewhat pedantic.
