   3 issues you listed with Go are actually about the same thing (the lack of sum types): - Go has nil where Rust has Option. - Go has weird not-quite-tuple returns & if err != nil where Rust has Result. - Go has no real enum concept, wher

   We're making lithium-ion batteries with a low carbon footprint to make oil history and fight climate change :)

   Yes, but you can still build a static site reading the content from a SQLite file instead of a directory of HTML files. That’s the beauty of SQLite: this is “just” a database library and file format.

   Agreed, RAM usage may be slightly elevated during the switch. But it doesn’t seem to be a big issue in practice. nginx for example is updating itself like this and it works fine.

   No. The number of processes requests in unchanged. They are just dispatched between 2 instances: the new one and the old one. Actually, all new requests are going to the new instance, and only the pending requests are processed by the old i

   Not clear from reading the post if the SQLite C library is embedded and linked in the Worker runtime (which would mean no network roundtrip) or if each query or batch of queries is converted to a network request to a server embedding the SQ

   You can have two app instances writing to the database concurrently, as long as they are running on the same machine. Then it’s possible to deploy a new version without downtime by starting the new binary, switching traffic to the new insta

    I agree with view from a functional point of view. But I think that Slack looks “nicer”, more polished, more structured from an aesthetic perspective.

    I think Zulip has the potential to become a dominant solution in this space if they find way to make the UI as appealing as Slack. Zulip offers a new approach on how to structure discussions by threads while still being a chat application w

    I wasn’t aware or a plan to merge wal2 and BEGIN CONCURRENT into main. That would be awesome. What is your source about this?

    Yes, and that’s what makes ALTER TABLE a bit difficult to implement in SQLite, but that’s also simplifying the implementation: https://sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html I agree this is quite unexpected for anyone used to Post

    Thanks Ben! I wasn’t sure if SQLite was storing metadata using the same B-Tree and WAL. As usual with SQLite the documentation about this is excellent: https://sqlite.org/schematab.html

    What about DDL, for example creating or altering a table or an index? Will LiteStream replicate the operation?

    I haven't tested it yet but the feature is exactly as expected, the documentation is very clear, and the demo using fly.io is a wonderful example of how to use it. Out of curiosity, how do you know when someone shares a link about Lite

    If you only had a single case in a few years, then why would you need a ternary operator? Your anecdotal data experience is actually confirming their decision to leave this out of the language.

    We evaluated those 3 options to develop an application used to configure, control and monitor battery systems at Northvolt, and reached very similar conclusions regarding the strengths of each platform.

    I don’t understand. How is the app working in offline mode when the Phoenix server is not reachable, since the interactions are managed server-side with LiveView?

    Why should we totally avoid CSS? The default CSS is most web browsers is not great for reading (no maximum width, mo margin, etc.).

    In the article: > knocking out undersea cables Most undersea cables being optic fiber, I don’t really see why a solar flare would knock them out. Or maybe they are active components like repeaters? But how are they powered up?

    The only string handling a compiler needs is usually during tokenization. After that the compiler only manipulates tokens, AST, SSA, IR, etc.

    Exactly this. I still remember all of these pain points. It's one of the main reasons why my team moved to Go.

    I don’t recommend Signal either due to the lack of encrypted backup/restore. I don’t understand the prioritization of other features over that one.
