   Can you expand more on the ffi piece? Using CGO has never been fun. Will this expose threads and allow for C interop that is easier to reason about? Can I dream of using this version of Go for all of my "wrap this C lib in a nicer Go e

   Been feeling a little miffed about this recently. Litestream is excellent but if you have multiple writers your db gets corrupted. Quite easy to do with rolling deploys. LifeFS was announced and is intended to help this. Now seems like ( ht

   I'm a little unfamiliar with how Plex routing works. Would this make it so that your plex connected media servers don't need to be publicly routabel and the Plex app will know to connect through the tailscale network? Would you ne

   Still fondly remember seeing the Jane Street intern post where someone implemented TCP/IP: https://blog.janestreet.com/what-the-interns-have-wrought-20... What a cool project that must have been.

    I thought people sometimes used forks just like another form of star. Save the repo for later review. I have so rarely seen any commits or changes when someone forks my public github repos. It's weird to think about github actions cron

    I mean I think part of the difficulty with understanding/using Nix is that you can do anything with it. You could set up a nix shell with all the dependencies you need to build the libraries, then build them "outside" of nix

    This is pretty ugly and add the overhead of a function callback, but just for fun: func multiLoop[X, Y any](x []X, y []Y, cb func(i int, x X, y Y)) { if len(x) != len(y) { panic("invalid slice lengths")

    Then you'd need to run and maintain Postgres, which is much more complicated, not just a single database file. Postgres also can't be embedded (according to some brief googling), so you'd need to run it as a separate process.

    Questions for libsql: - Looks like bottomless does automatic restoring of the database? Litestream seems to avoid this, I assume because of concerns about accidentally creating multiple writers on a rolling-deploy (or similar mistake). Any

    I think they are quite different it seems. Postlite expects you to connect over the postgres wire protocal. Sqld is compiled into your application so your application behaves like it's talking to an embedded sqlite, the calls are then

    I believe you usually want as much control of memory management as possible as it can be a great place for finding performance improvements and also help in delivering very consistent performance. Automatic memory management is a great aid

    If you’re working on CRDT stuff in production (or possibly in production) do you have thoughts on the CRDT vs OT debate? I would expect Notion to use operational transform given the availability of reliable central servers. But I know quite
