I really think they should look into B2B products with a strong synergy with the browser. Some example ideas: - password manager with team and enterprise features that natively integrates with the built in firefox password manager - hosted

If you have a busy system, a single sequence is going to be a pretty big performance bottleneck, since every resource creation will need to acquire a lock on that sequence.

I think a bigger benefit from doing that would be that inserts would be cheaper. Instead of an expensive insert into the middle of an index for every table that needs an index on that key, you can do a cheaper insert at the end of the index

Openapi is older than graphql. But the point is that that benefit is not unique to graphql, so by itself, that is not a compelling reason to choose graphql over something else.

Part of this project has been writing a lot of new tests, which are run on both GNU coreutils and rust coreutils. Some of these tests have found bugs in the original GNU coreutils.

I would much rather have laws that require that certain kinds of websites return machine-readable headers describing what kind of content is on them, and then browsers, web proxies, etc. could be configured by parents, schools, etc. to bloc

But it also makes it easier for library developers to identify that a change is breaking. Without static types you can easily make a change you think is fine, but it ends up breaking user code because they depended on something you didn&#x2

The level of proof required is lower, but AFAIU, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor, not the defendent.

Innocence until proven guilty should mean the burden of proof is on the prosecutor to prove you actually looked at it right? Although that isn't necessarily how it works in the real world. IANAL. But I also don't understand how th

OpenTofu is a fork of terraform, not CDKTF. Although, I would hope a fork of cdktf would target opentofu instead of terraform.

AWS's native tooling is Cloudformation, and CDK is actually just a wrapper around that that generates cloudformation code (as CDKTF is a wrapper for terraform). And I like to avoid cloudformation as much as possible.

That's really bad news for projects that don't (yet?) have significant forks, like consul and vagrant.

I looked that up. It sounds like you have to start an entrepreneurial business there (in which you invest at least 5k). I have no interest in starting my own business, so that is probably not an option.

Rust compilation is also almost instant, if you have a relatively small project. It's only when you get very large projects that compilation time becomes a problem. If typescript compilation speed wasn't a problem, then why would

> very slow compilation times That isn't always the case. Slow compilations are usually because of procedural macros and/or heavy use of generics. And even then compile times are often comparable to languages like typescript an

I think the argument isn't that it is copyright violation so much as it is anticompetitive. Google is using its monopoly in search to disadvantage its competitors in serving ads (other websites). But on the other hand, when the summari
