Pardon my ignorance, but what if my JS was "for (;;) {}"? Can this handle heavy-CPU plugins? Maybe in a service/web worker? Part of the Realm API being a good use case for plugins I assume would include this kind of isolation

I wonder how these libraries compare to using something like image-rs [0] w/ a custom-exported C FFI extern? I have used that library's PNG decoder/encoder in WASM and it seems simple and small and fast. I think it'd be

For some of the DOS things, I'm not sure fuzzers would be that effective. For the flooding issues, it's about quantity and frequency instead of how the packet is crafted.

by kodablah 7y ago
At least for the PING flood I think you can just send HTTP/2 PINGs over and over (that's what the Go test case does) and confirm it uses more and more resources as it queues the control messages.

Is there a specification in anything besides PDF easily available to link to?

by kodablah 7y ago
We should separate what something does from its intended effect when having these discussions. Laws exist on the books, laws can be added, etc but that is unrelated to enforcement and credibility and continued sector/business growth.

That comparison misses some things like "AS OF SYSTEM TIME" queries, changefeeds, and other CRDB-specific pieces.

I admittedly haven't researched too deeply, but are there any examples/docs on embedding Deno in another Rust program and/or writing/exposing Rust libs with a TS API?

Agreed. I was able to implement image.Image for a set of pixels from a Cgo library (written in Rust) and it works cleanly w/ the other Go image tools such as PNG saving[0]. 0 - https://godoc.org/github.com/cretz&#x

I'm saying it doesn't match what "existing" is doing which doesn't wrap the error. If you want comparable examples, they need to be doing the same thing, not one wrapping w/ an Errorf and another not.

by kodablah 7y ago
Why is there a defer in the "try" example? To just show wrapping even though the "existing" one doesn't wrap? Also, the "try" example doesn't defer-close "w" in case copy fails. Seems that t

Agreed. I disagree with the change and have made my comments in the other situations about taking the good with the bad when you give something away. Just no need to keep harping on it, doesn't mean mindset has shifted.
