This is the fundamental question which motivated the post. :) I think there are a few different ways to approach the answer, and it kind of depends on what you mean by "draw the line between an allocation happening or not happening.&qu

Author here! Overcommit is definitely a thing to watch out for. I believe TigerBeetle calls this out in their documentation. I think you'd have to explicitly disable it on Linux. For the second question, yes, we have to keep track of w

I have a few cases in this (proof of concept) codebase that require knowledge about allocation strategy, even in Zig, but that's on me and the design at this point. Something I wanted to touch on more in the post was the attempt to mak

Author here! That's totally fair. I did learn this is a common technique in the embedded world and I had a whole section in the original draft about how it's not a super well-known technique in the typical "backend web server

Limits in systems like these are generally good. They mention the reasoning around it explicitly. It just seems like the handling of that limit is what failed and was missed in review.

It seems to me that, in practice, you'd want the "LiveBatcher" to have some durability as well. Is there a scenario where a customer could lose their place because of a horribly timed server shutdown, where those transfers ha

I really like the idea of more decentralized git collaboration. What do people think are the biggest blockers to adoption in this space? Having to run a server or manage some kind of private keys? Is it purely network effect?

Yeah, I've always felt like defining infrastructure in a full-on language fell nicely into that category of "just because you can doesn't mean you should." I've only recently started to see this play out with a suff

It does make me wonder when that will flip though. "Ball" golf (as disc golfers like to say) seems to be at a point where you can make a serious living without much to do on the social media side. Companies dump so much money into
