Network protocol designers know better and by default embed protocol version number in message format spec. I guess you can assign 3-4 bits for identifier version number as well. And yes - for long living data dealing with compatibility iss

Preferably, you would design you APIs and services to be idempotent (ie. use PUT not POST etc.) Using idempotency identifier is the last resort in my book.

That's really an important deficiency of Postgres. Hash index is ideally suited for UUIDs but for some reason Postgres hash indexes cannot be unique.

This is actually a very deep and interesting topic. Stripping information from an identifier disconnects a piece of data from the real world which means we no longer can match them. But such connection is the sole purpose of keeping the dat

While TigerBeetle way is very interesting I find lack of multicore processing support (or any kind of horizontal scaling) a blocker in terms real world deployment. It is just too risky as there is a hard limit to scalability and while it mi

I’m sure you know the difference between publication of your personal data and making it accessible for trusted government officials.

I don’t know about any deaths (or imprisonment) of government dissenters in Poland (where I come from). Do you know any? Maybe oppressive government and lack of freedom of speech is a problem in your country, I don’t know that and I’m sorry

Democracy for quite some time thrived in US (and for some shorter time in other western countries) even though there was no anonymity while free speech was guaranteed by the state. In other words: anonymity is not a solution for lack of fre

by mkleczek 1y ago
Anonymity is not a prerequisite to freedom of speech. Broken lives of people harassed by anonymous trolls on social media are the dark side of anonymity. Freedom must be accompanied by responsibility and accountability.

Thanks for your great work. I can't find clear information about how re-rendering and stateful third-party components interact. Let's say I have a stateful data table web component that I use in the template. Is it going to be re-

That way you increase contention and harm scalability. In sqlite it does not matter as writes are single-threaded anyway. But in other DBMSes it does. What's more: in PostgreSQL you increase bloat as every update creates a new row vers

I've always used self-hosted https://scm-manager.org for personal stuff and never felt any need to move to anything else. It is a surprisingly good and for some reason not very popular, piece of software.

Sure - you can (and probably should) outsource your non-core business like accounting, accounts receivables etc. but it is not payment processing. Bitcoin adoption is a chicken and egg problem. But my guess is that censoring porn creates a

I am not sure why any middle man is needed to "effectively" handle Bitcoin. It is a very liquid asset - easy to move and easy to sell.

Bitcoin does not require any payment processor. That's its whole point: censorship-resistant, permissionless, p2p payment system.
55.
by mkleczek 1y ago
Yet another case for Bitcoin: permissionless, censorship resistant, peer-to-peer payment system. I wonder if (when?) we reach a tipping point when people massively start using it. Censoring porn like this looks like a very strong incentive.

Neil Mitchell is also an author of Shake which is based on this paper. Buck and Buck2 from Meta are descendants. Buck2 is an excellent piece of software. Too bad it is still niche.

This is why I call all this AI stuff BS. Using a formal language is a feature, not a bug. It is a cornerstone of all human engineering and scientific activity and is the _reason_ why these disciplines are successful. What you are describing
