If different microservices running different versions of their dependencies and being developed in different repos are seen as problems, what would you say the advantages of microservices are, since you say that "microservices are grea

Great article! Very clear. Nice examples. I have some complaints about how Firefox handles these features, though. Closing modal dialogs with the escape key doesn't seem to work, even though it's described in the docs on MDN [0].

Sendmail was installed by default on FreeBSD until last week, though. So it's true that it's no longer relevant if you're on FreeBSD 14 (which replaces it with the Dragonfly Mail Agent), but it's quite a recent change.

The recent FreeBSD 14 release apparently failed to build for one of the platforms because a file "somehow ended up being full of NUL bytes" [0]. I wonder if that's due to this bug? (Could be just a coincidence, of course.) Op

If you think of it not as a "rename" (which would belong in the edge object if it existed) but rather as a "note: the file A in this tree was known as B in the parent tree" it would make perfect sense to store it in the

As you say, tooling can solve the problem. But with ES modules and modulepreload, we can now (contrary to what the post argues) also solve it without the tooling, which is an improvement. Yes, all but the simplest applications currently use

The post dismisses native browser support (a huge benefit of ES modules) as "an utterly useless feature" that's "unavoidably slow" because of the additional roundtrips needed as the dependency tree is traversed. But

You could run Docker in a Linux VM, which is what Docker Desktop does anyway. FreeBSD has Bhyve for this.

What's the advantage of running Bhyve within a jail? The userspace process is sandboxed with Capsicum[0], which should provide similar security benefits, shouldn't it? Is it just that you already have a jail and need to add Bhyve

Which problems are those? One problem I usually have with GUI builders is that they generate huge and messy data files for the layout which can't be meaningfully diffed. Visual Basic is even worse because the form files are binary blob

The Git book [0] explains where this term comes from and how it makes sense. In short, it's not a request to a server but to another person. You're requesting that they pull your branch to take a look at the changes you want to co

But instead of cross-process serialization we get cross-interpreter serialization, so serialization shenanigans don't go away. There is support in the newest pickle protocol for using a shared buffer to transfer data more efficiently,

Since it currently lacks any way to transfer objects between interpreters other than pickling, does it offer any advantage over the multiprocessing module?

What about when the output of the lossy codec is passed through another lossy codec, e.g. MP3 through AAC over Bluetooth? I would expect better results (from the second codec) when starting from a pristine lossless source.

The decoder either reproduces exactly the same bytes as the original or it's seriously broken. You can run "flac --verify file.wav" to test this, or compare the decoded bytes yourself if you don't trust the tool. I doubt

Their recommendation doesn't make any sense. They first explain that lossless compression reproduces exactly the same data as when uncompressed: "Lossless compression is benign in its effect on the music. It is akin to LHA or Win
