   The Record Layer provides mechanisms to get around the key size limitations and the the transaction time/size limitations. See section 4: https://www.foundationdb.org/files/record-layer-paper.pdf

   Yeah 100%. PwD is also a big accounting firm. Most of the accounting side was in-office.

   I disagree. Straight from the wikipedia intro: > According to a 2014 Human Rights Watch report, "tough-on-crime" laws adopted since the 1980s have filled U.S. prisons with mostly nonviolent offenders. https://en.wiki

   The United States has the largest prison population in the world and the highest incarceration rate. Every time there is a crime thread on HN it is full of anecdotal stories about how we can be tougher on crime. It boggles my mind that this

   My understanding is that Redis is fast because it writes and reads from memory. Postgres is slower because it ensures writes are persisted to disk before responding (among other reasons). So even if you use RDB and AOF with Redis, you can s

    Yes, I've also heard that alternatively you can just wait for them to send it to a debt collector and they will happily negotiate with you as well.

    I have to say that when I first evaluated Stripe I was comparing it to things like authorize.net. I haven't meaningfully looked at the other available options since. Stripe is easy and known and I haven't gotten org pushback about

    I think the wasm runtime wouldn't have access to system UI primitives. Or would you use the rendering engine to render in canvas?

    Fly runs the contents of the container in a VM. Bring your own runtime in that VM, use kernel sandboxing features, do whatever you want (in linux). I’m all for the “k8s is not erlang” position, but in fly’s case it seems like the right tool

    I think OP is just arguing and saying "fully sandboxed" might imply that kind of security.

    I'm not sure how this is true. I don't know anything about vimscript and emacs-lisp plugin systems, but at a cursory glance it looks like plugins might be able to do things like launch shell commands? Zellij seems to be using WASI

    I feel like in this case those kinds of things are up to Zellij. If you run wasmer within the same process and share memory with the main Zellij process then yes wasmer/cranelift/wasmtime/wasm doesn't protect you from va

    I love starlark and I love this as a better way to run Github actions. It's confusing that this is a managed external service. Github Actions are a fully flexible runtime, it feels like you could get away with all this functionality wi
