Yeah but I do like not having to give Go several flags to do something reasonable with its memory

Lack of virtual threads was its biggest remaining problem because this made the common ways of doing cooperative multitasking very ugly. Go's big thing was having that from the start. Maybe now that Java has it too, it's set? Thou

Maybe MySQL and Postgres should make official Node libs then. Bun maintaining this is ok too, but it seems odd given that it means having to keep up with new features in those DBMSes.
155.
by zadikian 7mo ago
No it's not Node's fault, this isn't their job. I don't blame Postgres either, cause maintaining libpq is fair enough, just would've been extra nice to have an official Node lib too.

Maybe cheaters want to cheat somewhere nobody else cheats. Idk if these games do online cross platform nowadays.

Well that's only because Oracle happens to own both Java and Oracle DB. Suppose you're not using that DB.

DBMS vendor providing the client is nice. At least if you're using pg-native in Node, that's just a wrapper around the Postgres-owned libpq, but I've run into small breaking updates before that I don't feel would've

I just use npm because I like to stay as vanilla as possible. Glad that alternatives exist though.

Would accessing deps directly from a zip really be faster? I'd be a little surprised but not terribly, given that it's readonly on an fs designed for RW. If not, maybe just tar?

Yes people are using Node.js, most likely the majority.

Yeah I'm with you on not needing to change much to have v6 without actually using it. But when the world is actually ready for v6, you do need to change everything. And it's worse than that, the world only becomes ready by peopl

by zadikian 7mo ago
It's not like the v6 spec said, here are two options on equal footing, go figure out which is better. 6to4 was a temp bolt-on. I had to look up what things were actually like in 2010 because I really don't remember getting a 2002:

They can also just do that bidding war in the resolution contract
166.
by zadikian 7mo ago
Ok, I see what you mean then by 6to4 already supporting what v4x proposed, but that path wasn't taken either. It's a special feature with rare usage rather than the minimum default way of doing v6.
167.
by zadikian 7mo ago
v4-mapped v6 (rfc4038), not 6to4, right? It was only a transition feature and not how v6 was rolled out by default. I don't even have such an address. You enable v6 and it suddenly means you're reachable with the new addresses, ty
168.
by zadikian 7mo ago
You do have to change everything to actually use v6 rather than having v4 on the side. Re: flag day, I guess you could use the new address space of v4x before everyone is ready, provided the other side supports it.
169.
by zadikian 7mo ago
That's probably why. But this is why the defaults matter so much and it's not simply "you do you."
170.
by zadikian 7mo ago
Just making DHCP+NAT default in ipv6 might've helped. Those who want SLAAC and know what they're doing can set it up.
171.
by zadikian 7mo ago
The point of IPv4x and similar proposals is to avoid a dual-stack scenario by reducing the risk of switching. Going from v4 to v4x doesn't mean changing all your routes and addresses (and possibly blacklists), you just enable it and ev

by zadikian 7mo ago
This causes suboptimal routing, which is supposedly why they made v6 a clean slate instead. Still I think it would've been better than what we got with ipv6, plus maybe it'd be fixable over time.
173.
by zadikian 7mo ago
It's not too late to do something kinda like this using the ipv6 packet format, since routers already understand that. They'd put the whole "ipv4x" address space under a prefix.

Same issue with the lightning to 3.5 dongle. Plus the phone sometimes takes like 10s to recognize it.

And a 30% increase in sales across a cherrypicked 6wk time window. This is one of those articles that's more wishful thinking than real news, even though I have the same wish.

I'd rather have it switch than do permanent DST. It's not good to wake up in total darkness if you can avoid it. Best would just be permanent standard time.

Yeah, I've seen both 3 and 5 used, not just hashes in some custom format. That way it works with Postgres uuid type etc.

by zadikian 8mo ago
It's not a huge problem. Uuid adds convenience over reinventing that wheel everywhere. And some of those wheels would use the wrong random or hash or encoding. (Downvote wasn't me)
