This is cool, I'll probably end up using this (we store sqlite snapshots in S3). It'd be very handy if this was packaged as a CLI that worked like `sqlite3`, so you could get a SQL repl by running: s3sqlite mybucket/myd

Very groovy visuals. There was something sort of terrifying about the enemy tanks. Maybe a minimap would help with this, but I almost got Slenderman vibes when I would turn around and see a tank right there in front of my face. Got my heart

Oso engineer here. It's a good question -- definitely a dearth of content about this topic. Like pphysch said, using RBAC generally gets you 90% or more of the way there on this, and a good intro to this concept is the Tailscale post:

Hey, Oso engineer here. Good question. The rust core is indeed called from the ruby library (as it is with all of our 5 other host libraries). The core itself is pretty complex (there's a whole parser/interpreter in there), so mai

I actually came to this thread expecting more people to call out MobX. When I use MobX with react, I find it to be as simple and _fun_ as the author finds svelte. Most of the problems people tend to raise with React are problems that are so

In my experience it’s not about “bad” vs. “good” code, and not about a tradeoff between speed and quality. It’s more about how much abstraction is built into the system. A mature codebase has a clear purpose and therefore can contain durabl

Curious why you're so opposed to spacer components. In my experience they work quite well--often a designer has specified that two widgets lie a certain distance apart, either vertically or horizontally, and the programmer needs to exp

At the same time, I find that it's often hard to comprehend projects that are broken into too many little files. There's normally no guide on what pieces are where, so you don't know which order to read things. Makes it a lit

Funny, I just had the exact same experience. Had been fixing compiler errors by adding lifetimes to my structs instead of boxing the values. I need a good reference on the right way to un-learn certain C concepts to make learning Rust conce

Our data is primarily stored in postgres. We've looked into using Mongo to store FHIR-compliant documents, which is the newest standard (and best standard, IMO) proposed by HL7. Haven't looked at that many immutable databases, but

Thanks for the comment, leovander—very good points! Right now we give hospitals a number of ways to respond to PatientBank requests. Currently, the most common one is fax and we don't (yet) perform much processing of that data. In addi
