Can you elaborate on what you mean by changing the result set as opposed to the shape?

Consider the case of Partials - we might like to restrict the Partials to different subsets of the fields for different purposes; consider the modelling of an inverted index. Certainly it is possible to represent each specific case as some

This reminds me of my quest to find the proper method to model what I've termed 'large types' in an ideal language. As is well known, algebraic data types as commonly found, consist of sums of products, yet a great deal of us

The provided points don't seem to be reasons for generally avoiding the subshell loop pattern. Reasons of 1) performance, 2) readability, and 3) security are provided as points against the pattern, and the post itself acknowledges that

Do enlighten me on why it is a bad idea to use loops over read; it's perhaps one of my favourite patterns in bash, and combined with pipes, appears to me one of the cleanest ways to correctly and concisely utilise parallelism in softwa

Not having worked with K8s, it seems to me a number of things that service meshes are capable of can be done by SDN (e.g. Tailscale, ZeroTier). As far as I'm aware, SDN can do encryption and service discovery (via things like custom DN

Off-topic: does anyone know of SQL-to-SQL optimisers or simplifiers? I understand that databases themselves have query-optimisers, and that's not what I'm talking about - I work with generated query systems and SQL macro systems t

That's very kind of you - I tried making a dead-simple repro just now with Node 20, and it seemed to run without the problem. I'll try reproducing it in a bit with my original use case of imagemagick and see if the issue still exi

One thing that surprised me about Node was how slow the default way to shelling out (child_process) could be (probably https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/14917 ). Although according to the linked issue, it

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38889156 , resolved is the Devil. According to Tailscale, its the saviour. I'm confused.

Arithmetic coding is one of the classic information theory methods that produce essentially-optimal results. Like everywhere else in information theory, the eminence of the probability distribution is fully recognised, and given it, arithme

Pinning in nix is rather easy; either `nix registry pin nixpkgs` or explicitly `nix registry add nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/925b70cd964ceaedee26fde9b19cc4c4f081196a` does the job. For specific packages, flakes and flake locks ma

I must say that as far as I'm concerned, Nix is very much emblematic of simpler technology. Nix tries to solve problems (such as build impurities) very much by trying to fix things at the source (and contributing back to upstream!), ra

You don't have to use nixpkgs-unstable though? You can always pin your nixpkgs, which I do, and I've as long as one tests that that version runs fine, then it always runs fine.

Wow, it looks pretty nice! I see that it even provides a Terraform module: "All-in-One: This is a consolidated module that first installs NixOS using nixos-anywhere and then keeps it updated with nixos-rebuild. If you choose this, you

By the way, how production-ready is nixos-infect for installing NixOS on VPSes that don't support NixOS out of the box? I've been meaning to do some new deployments with NixOS, and nixos-infect seems to be the recommended way from

I've had pretty much the exact same problem and what I went for in my low-volume case was to simply add advisory locks such that I can guarantee the transaction start times provide correct ordering.

Off topic, but does anyone know how to find out where mutable data for NixOS modules are stored at (e.g. the data directory for a database) without reading the source? Occasionally, it's mildly annoying, and would be comforting to know
