strongly agree. c++ without shared_ptr and unique_ptr is not a language i want to use. although the primary reason i like c++ is templates, so the grandparent poster and i would probably have nearly opposite ideas of what the good subset of

effective c++ is a bit out of date but still very good. i read it while learning c++ 'properly' last year and found it very helpful, but it helps to have some knowledge of modern c++ to know what is still relevant. there isn'

i want to be able to trigger datasets to be rebuilt automatically when their dependencies change, which as i understand it is a large part of pachyderm's value proposition, but it is unclear how to integrate pachyderm into the larger d

you would be shocked at how effective simple things like this are at stopping 90%+ of the bad actors, leaving significantly less manual work to identify the remaining 10%

at no point in the blog post or this thread has anyone actually explained what their super special use case is that makes doing what almost everyone else does a bad choice and this replicated sqlite thing a good choice. it's pretty cle

it's also kinda weird to write a blog post about a database being used for what is apparently a very specific use case without mentioning what that use case is. the burden of proof is on tailscale to explain why they need to deviate fr

it's not cargo culting if it works, and they even say in the article that mysql or postgres would've worked maybe next they will stop cargo culting operating systems and switch to SerenityOS?

or they could have used mysql or postgres hosted by aws, gcp, azure, etc? i would put money on this not being the last time they change databases

i really don't know a ton about this product or team but it sounds like if they had used aurora mysql or aurora postgres in the first place then there would be nothing to write a blog post about because it would've just worked and

i agree with you that garbage collected languages are bad for systems programming but it's not because garbage collection is inherently bad, it's because gc doesn't handle freeing resources other than memory. for better or wo

i don't think that's an unfair comparison, that is in line with similar tests i have performed for random write workloads on lsm trees and b trees that don't fit in ram, including cost of compaction. https://youtu.

i think maybe you can do it with userfaultfd, performance won't be as good as using a signal handler because of the context switch but you aren't restricted in what you can do in in the handler thread like you are with a signal ha
