I mean, absolutely and obviously not, right? Like, languages aren't just different ways to express the same underlying concepts? It's clearly not the case that you can just transliterate a program in language X to language Y and e

A CLI tool is a native binary that I can run directly via e.g. `/path/to/binary`. If I need to use `uv run ...` to execute something, then that thing isn't really a CLI tool, it's an interpreted script, which relies

HTTP is an implementation detail, and doesn't represent any kind of unavoidable bottleneck vs. any other transport protocol one might use to do these kinds of request/response interactions.

Particularly for [1], I strongly agree with you. This is so frustrating. The claimed CWE-125 [2] has a description that says "The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer." -- which empirica

Let me be even more explicit: if your installation instructions are `pip install ...` -- or `npm install ...` for that matter -- then you are automatically excluding a super-majority of potential users.

"Wide events" describe a structure/schema for incoming data on the "write path" to a system. That's fine. But that data always needs to be transformed, specialized, for use-case specific "read paths"

The point of enumerating all of those specific issues, wasn't to say "here are some bugs" and if you fix them you're good. It was to say "here are some examples of the much more fundamental problem", which seem

This repo is completely unsound, code like [1] is pervasive and demonstrates a total misunderstanding of what guarantees are provided -- or, really, not provided -- by "atomic" reads of unsafe.Pointer values. Data races everywhere

Traces have a very specific data model, and corresponding limitations, which don't really accommodate log events/messages of arbitrary size. The access model for traces is also fundamentally different vs. that of logs.
