Your link is about iOS. macOS is not concerned. Also, that makes sense to have a UNIX certification for macOS, not much for iOS, which is a different kind of platform.

Fastmail has a birthday field that shows up in the calendar. I know because I use it :)

I still remember your paper about BigV! Very interesting solution and architecture. I was very close to becoming a customer essentially because of this. You were ahead of your time :)

The log-structured virtual disks (LSVD) mentioned at the end of the post seems to address this?

I fully agree with you, for what it's worth. I really like what Fly.io is doing here. Most of the advantages of being closer to the metal, combined to most advantages of being in the cloud.

Are you using the wal2 branch of SQLite?

by ngrilly 2y ago
Agreed. But historically, Apple pushed users really hard towards their native apps. I’d be personally happy using a better web version of for example Apple Notes when I’m forced to use Windows.

Thanks a lot. This is very clear.

And in a language like Zig, how would you track the roots, and update the pointers if/when memory is moved during GC?

Agreed. I've been using Pages quite a lot during the past year, growing frustrated with Word, and Pages is surprisingly good. It is much easier to use and to get nice results.

Yes, that's the correct link. Sorry for the broken link. If the approach works for something as heavy duty as Delta Lake, then it is should work for syncing the data of a end-user app across several devices. Even SQLite is separating i

The approach seems similar to Delta Lake's consistency model, using object storage like S3, and yet allows concurrent writers and readers: https://jack-vanlightly.com/analyses/2024/4/29/understanding

How would you solve the problem of keeping track of new comments in the HN model (threaded), assuming you'd like the conversation to continue over a few days or weeks? I think the HN model is superior in almost every ways, except when

I used to think the “killed by Google” meme was exaggerated, but this doesn’t look good. Why go through all the trouble of developing and promoting a VPN service as part of Google One, to eventually shut it down? If Apple is able to do it a

I know about certbot and have considered it, but our customers can use their own custom domain name, which means we need to be able to select the certificate depending on the SNI hostname, which is a bit tricky in nginx. It's possible

We live in Stockholm city, and it's usually considered very safe for kids, and yet most people tend to worry about young kids wandering without adult supervision, which was ok in the small city where I grew up in France (I'm 48).

Where are you living? Asking because I think letting kids walk alone to/from school and friend's houses depends a lot on the culture of the city/country.

I've been using nginx for years and switched to Caddy just because I was so fed up with configuring nginx to automatically renew TLS certs issued by Let's Encrypt. This is so much easier and reliable with Caddy.
