The first 3 “hardening” points are not great. Essentially it’s just: remove .py files an execute del os.environ[“SESSION_TOKEN“]? This doesn’t really sound very secure, there are a number of ways to bypass both of these. It’s just security

That’s still over-general to the point of being useless. What you wrote would apply to a human approaching this task as well, sans the “many trillion lines of code”.

Like life, things should default to being safe. Unsafe, unexpected behaviours should be exception and thus require an exceptional name. Legacy and backwards compatibility hampers this, but going forward…

So we shouldn’t mark anything as unsafe then? And give no indication whatsoever? The issue isn’t that the word “safe” doesn’t appear in safe variants, it’s that “unsafe” makes your intentions clear: “I know this is unsafe, but it’s fine bec

yes, and bugs shouldn't exist because everyone should be familiar with everything.

because the "unsafe" suffix conveys information to the reader, whereas `innherHTML` does not?

the query is just to highlight that relevance is a complex topic. few people would consider "perl blog posts from 2016 that have the stack overflow tag" as the most relevant result for that query.

Sure, but the point is results are not relevant at all? It’s cool though, and really fast

Number of docs isn’t the limiting factor. I just searched for “stackoverflow” and the first result was this: https://www.perl.com/tags/stackoverflow/ The actual Stackoverflow site was ranked way down, below some w

None of which is relevant to the point I was making. Try to focus your thoughts, they are obviously pretty scattered.

When was the vote on deciding if murder is good or bad? “Society” doesn’t vote on things. Your viewpoint may differ, but a large enough majority of other people feel differently. In other words, it’s a you problem.

Sure, and this is completely sensible to do in a library. But that’s not the point: what can most applications do when SQLite tells them that it encountered a memory error and couldn’t complete the transaction? Abort and report an error t

You need to apply backpressure before you hit memory limits, not after. If you’re OOM your application is in a pretty unrecoverable state. Theoretically possible, practically not.

None of that matters: what is your application going to do if it tries to allocate 3mb of data from your 2mb allocator? This is the far more meaningful part of the original comment: > and furthermore most code is not in a position to do

Interesting read, but I feel like they should have also benchmarked using COPY with Postgres. This should be far faster than a bulk insert, and it’s more in line with what they are benchmarking. The omission feels… odd.
