The merging happens primarily on hot data, I haven't run into any issues there. But there are lots of approaches, depending on your needs. You can (should) define a "cache disk" for S3, which will cache up to X Gb locally to

Fair warning, I had serious scaling issues with Timescale. Solutions like Grafana Mimir, Victoria Metrics, Clickhouse, or yes, the new Influx implementation, are much more scalable and will give you much fewer headaches. ClickhouseDB is rea

Well, Norway is actually part of the trade union (European Economic Area), as well as Schengen , the cour of justice and many other EU institutations/treaties. They are not in the EU proper though.

> A naively implemented script in Bun that moves data using Bun’s APIs will often outperform a naively implemented program written in Rust or Go. Sounds exciting, do you have some example benchmarks I can run that show this?

Yes, but that's sort of my point regarding complexity. "This crate is edition X, and an edition comes out every 3 years or so" is much easier to deal with. It reminds me a bit of Haskell language pragrams, which can be toggle

Edit: I had some wrong assumptions here. The Go approach does indeed seem to enable similar functionality. Although I'm not quite sure I understand how the individual settings and the module level version declarations compose, and how

Never breaking compatibility is hardly a new idea. Java and C++ have invested tremendous amounts of effort into preserving backwards compatibility for decades, often requiring bending over backwards and very suboptimal designs for new featu

Very cool, I'd have a big use case for "Litestream in Rust" as a library. Any way to get notified about the release? Also: will this be a straight port, or could it also support "live-replication" from S3, instead o

The core issue here is that fly doesn't offer distributed storage, only local disks. Combine that with them having tooling for setting up Postgres built on top of single node storage, and you have the downtime problems and unhappy cust

The ironic thing is that WhatsApp very heavily pushes users into Google account backups, which are unencrypted, giving government agencies all the access they want. I remember some talk about those getting encrypted, don't k ow if that

Rust was a very different language pre 1.0 (GC, builtin green threading, etc). I think it's fair to start counting at 1.0.

c2rust is definitely cool, but it also supports transpiling to a single architecture, which often misses a lot of architecture dependent code and specialisations in real world c code. Especially because it has to do macro expansion and you

Rust has an optional clippy lint that will warn/forbid all basic arithmetic that might over/underflow, forcing you to use dedicated methods with explicit behaviour instead. It's very annoying , but I use it in code where this

I'm not a Zig expert, but I have a different take here. Zig has comptime, which is essentially a compile time macro written in the main language and with type reflection capabilities. They can introduce complex behaviour and fail in ve

A few points there: * classical shared memory (mapped into the main address space) is very hard to do in the context of Webassembly, especially in a performant way. Not impossible, but complicated. It would be valuable to add, but there are
