Great feedback! You’re absolutely right — C and C++ give you the primitives to do this manually. If every developer followed the “stack first, heap only when necessary” discipline, and carefully used unique_ptr or avoided new/delete wh

Your comment got my wheels turning so.. quick followup. Since you lived with this for such a long stretch, I'd love your gut reaction to the specific escape hatches I'm building in to avoid the rigidity trap: 1. Arenas grow, not f

This is a really helpful data point, thanks for sharing it. What you're describing aligns pretty closely with the behavior I'm trying to achieve—predictable ownership, clear memory lifetimes, and fewer “how did this get freed?” bu

That’s an interesting comparison. I agree J aligns philosophically (values over references), and you're right that it feels more optimized for pure mathematical work rather than managing long-lived, mutable state in concurrent services

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. There are a couple of replies here that sparked some interesting angles—looking forward to diving deeper into those and seeing where the discussion goes

I have nothing constructive to add here - I just found this amusing. What can I say.. I'm a simple man. https://pasteboard.co/ZK0rNK25LqxH.jpg

Loving everything about this. You really knocked it out the park. It's so much more ergonomic than cd + ls (which feels like a caveman solution by comparison) Congrats on bringing directory navigation into the 21st Century. I have inst

It's scary to admit this but you are probably right. The first thing these bots do is use server resources to scan ports and brute force their way into other machines. I don't want to think about how many machines are pwned like t

Yep. I just paid my ISP for a static IP address to accomplish this exact thing.

I'm still picking up the pieces but from my logs I can see that hundreds of successive login attempts were made from different IPs, effectively circumventing fail2ban with what I can only assume is some form of automated IP spoofing. I

Solid advice. I had fail2ban installed and enabled. SSHD Root/password login turned off and only ssh key had access. My firewall was also airtight, or so I thought. Clearly I mucked up a config or setting somewhere because the odds of

Multiple CDNs have been hit, along with government sites, banks, even small VPS and shared hosts are seeing a drastic uptick in brute force attacks. The info war rages on...

All of my VPS servers have been slammed in the last 5 days with bruteforce SSH attacks. I've never seen anything this aggressive. One of my servers got PWNed, which has never happened to me before. There's definitely some wild, sh

I think it depends on what platform you choose. For my Ruby/Rails work postgres support has been nothing short of phenomenal. The addition of JSONB and hstore added the dynamic schema features of MongoDB that I'd used in a previou

Consensus based parenting seems like a good idea when you've got one kid and think you have the game figured out. Then you have a second child and see that much of what you learned gets tossed out the window. That's when you reali
