True. I am simply wondering -- is the resistance from executives' so powerful that it can be never overpowered? Can't we ever just tell them "Look, this is like your car with plastic suspension -- it will work for a few day

I'm with you, but let's not forget that they haven't started the extinguishing yet. They might yet do it. The extending they've done plenty: issue tracker, wiki, discussions etc.

A take that I'm not seeing in all the "LLM scrapers are heading to our site, run for your lives!" threads is this: Why can't people harden their software with guards? Proper DDoS protection? Better caching? Rewrite the h

My account is very old and the tool works on it. Figured it will probably stop working at some point, thanks for the refresh. I have that tool activating once every 24h still, to this day.

Would love a comparison to gbackup-rs[0]. To me having to install a tool through Python is a show-stopper. [0] https://github.com/djipko/gbackup-rs

Well, I don't write as huge a code as this though, nor does it have as many layers. Usually I just use the `?` and `.map_err` (or `anyhow` / `thiserror`) to delegate and move on with life. I have a few places where I do pattern-ma

Usually yes. But I lean much more to writing library-like code, I admit. When I have to make a decision on an app-level, it becomes a different game though. I don't have a clear-and-cut answer for that.

That's why I'm working hard on bringing in a tightly integrated support for SQLite in the Elixir ecosystem (via a Rust FFI bridge): because in my professional experience not many applications need something as hardcore and amazing

Oh I agree, don't get me wrong. Both are pretty gnarly. I was approaching these problems strictly from the point of view of what can Rust do today really, nothing else. To me having checked and non-panicking API for integer overflows &

by pdimitar 1y ago
Agreed, that's why I don't catch panics either -- if we get to that point I'm viewing the program as corrupted. I'm simply saying that I do my utmost to never use potentially panicking Rust API and prefer to add boilerpl

Don't know about your parent poster but I didn't take it 100% literally. Obviously if there's no memory left then you crash; the kernel would likely murder your program half a second later anyway. But for arithmetics Rust has

I don't speak for anyone else but I'm not using `unwrap` and `expect`. I understand the scenario you outlined but I've accepted it as a compromise and will `match` on a map's fetching function and will have an `Err` bran

Addressing this requires me being interested in all the details (which would get me half way there on the road to being a contributor, which I'm not aiming at). I was responding to the central point of the article + ranted a bit. I&#x2

Elixir -> Rust -> SQLite library (FFI bridge). The FFI library is completed (without some of SQLite's advanced features that I don't deem important for a v1) and I am just adding more tests now, though the integration layer

Apparently I did. Seems I underestimated the impact of what I perceived as a small rant. [no longer replying non-constructively to anyone in this sub-thread]

Your right and prerogative, obviously. But out there, a stranger you care nothing about, will think less of you. Wish I had that free time and freedom though... The things I would do.

Similar to @zeroq, I don't really need a K/V store. I need a full relational database that I can also use for analytics and time series, and I want it embedded. And as strict as possible -- PostgreSQL is doing this really well. I

RE: serverless, I think I understand the use-case and I get the homogeneity argument, it's just that to me SQLite mostly wins for being embedded; the rest of its traits are a nice bonus but using stuff e.g. Litestream I don't view

Well, my upcoming Elixir wrapper of a Rust wrapper of SQLite (heh, I am aware how it sounds) will support it. I am pretty sure people do find it useful and would use it. If not, the 1-2 days of hobby coding to deliver it are not something I

Which database might that be? I have been looking for replacement of SQLite for years -- admittedly, not very actively, embedded databases are just a hobby obsession and my life did not allow me much leisure time in the last years -- and st

I don't disagree with that general premise but IMO autotools being (gradually?) abandoned is logical. It served its purpose. Not saying it's still not very useful in the darker shadows of technology but for a lot of stuff people c

I asked myself that probably no less than 200 times. Thinking in terms of technological problems, that should be a 100% solved problem at this point! Build a DAG of all tasks and just solve it and invoke stuff, right? Well, not exactly. A l

And I do, most of the time. Sometimes the code to be written is quite verbose and I am on a tighter deadline. And it still takes less time and effort to vet the LLM's code. Otherwise yeah.
