Wasm is used in a lot of nooks and crannies, apart from games, Figma already uses it in the core and Wasm-GC has just started to become viable so we will se a lot of server-side languages get better web support. Using Wasm as an end-all sys

They are very well on their way to becoming the "never interact with Oracle" of the internet giants. As far as I can see they are still living a bit off the "do no evil" of ages ago and latent animosity towards Microsoft

Feels like they're trying to make something alike PostgREST (and sell it as a service), ie being able to skip backend coding and this manages brokering and permissions for frontends that does most of the job anyhow.

Many hours spent reading this even if I was quite late to the party.

The problem is that we have a huge swathe of "mechanics" that basically don't know much more than how to open a paintcan and paint a pig despite promising to deliver finely tuned supercars with their magic car making machine.

I do get the joke but it's a tad misplaced here. Language developers really do struggle with debugging our data-structures since they are often both circular and complex compared to many other applications, I wrote yet-another-UI tool

Huh? Windows itself might have had it's heyday but MS is solidly at #2 for clouds only behind AWS with enterprise Windows shops that will be hard pressed to not use MS options if they go to the cloud (Google really has continued to fum

You have a call from France, some company called OVH on the line!

It's not entirely horrible, parsing DER dynamically enough to handle interpreting most common certificates can be done in some 200-300 lines of C#, so I'd take that any day over XML. The main problem is that to work with the data

Yes and no, the JSON handling of things like binary data (hashes) and big-ints leaves a bit to be desired (sure we can use base64 encoding). Asn.1 isn't great by any extent but for this JSON really isn't much better apart from bet

by whizzter 1y ago
I wrote an Asn.1 decoder and since it contains type/size info you can often read a subset and handle the rest as opaque data objects if you need round-tripping, this is required as there can be plenty of data that is unknown to older c

As someone that had the dis-pleasure to work with Asn.1 data (yes, certificates) I fully symphatise with anguish you've gone through (that 6months of Ansible HR comments cracked me up also :D ).

I haven't had the "pleasure" to work with stored procedures,etc but from conversations the main takeaways seems to be: 1: cooperation, nowadays database instances are cheaper and with Docker we can spin them up but having the

The keyword is CAN, there can also be huge penalties (random main-memory accesses are over a cycles typically), the parent was probably considering a regular image transform/comparison and 20 pixels per cycle even for low resolution 10

Imho maintainers should just keep a set of pre-made header-files for a Windows compiler, a huge portion the work configure does is because we historically had: - Bad compilers (that lacked stdlib features) - Lacked package managers (so we n

Yep, but there was another post mentioning half a million lines of C++ code so far. While the C++ interop in Swift seems sane with Clang being embedded I wonder how much time/energy they will have to actually move significant parts if

Ladybird seems to be progressing at an impressive pace also, time will tell however if their choice of C++ will be a big problem or if modern ways of doing things are safe enough.

NAS or Cloud storage doesn't help much if your Xcode,node_modules,etc installs for a developer starts filling up the disk.

Those symptoms sounds like breaking hardware though, cold joints somewhere or even worse a swelling battery, I literally had a multi-monitor disappearance last week on an older machine because the broken battery somehow caused the Intel GFX

Younger guy with ambitions but little experience, I think my point was that used servers with Hetzner are still used so if someone has been running disk heavy jobs you might want to request new disks or multiple ones and not just pick the c

You really need your backup procedures and failover procedures though, a friend bought a used server and the disk died fairly quickly leaving him sour.

Ugh, that's sad. The 10 year old drives for me are WD:RED's so can't complain about the old ones. Looking at the Pro/Plus PDF's it seems that they do specify CMR officially so sneaking in SMR disks sounds like lawsu

If you're using Proxies and mutation observers you've probably created your own micro-framework. I wrote something like petite-Vue / Alpine as an excersice and it's really not much to them.

I agree with the Next shitshow, but webpack/CRA was always shaky while Vite's sane defaults (and great reloading) has been a great improvement for us outside of the Next world and functional components now feels like a fairly non-

Living in Sweden, realized last year that I hadn't replaced my homeserver/NAS in a long time, still haven't had time to replace it and the 2 drives (WD RED) are now approaching 10 years of power on time without any smart prob

Ugh, source on that? In the market for a new NAS/Homeserver soonish (realized my drives are almost at 10 years of power on time) and would like to have spinning rust behind ssd for larger storage.

Seems cool for document usage, the online JS version however thrashed the digital signatures with that rotate 10 degrees demo (not entirely if it was just a checksum issue but it seemed to be worse as in tinkering with or not roundtripping

Actually, I think that a proxy might be a worse scenario in terms of exploitability. If the proxy that handles authentication has one notion of chunked encoding and Kestrel behind it has another notion and the proxy then shares it's co

The GH issue mentions POTENTIAL risks, looked at the patch and I can see 2 scenarios: 1: You have a load-balancer infront that handles authentication somehow and then coalesces multiple incoming requests into single connections, one authent
