No need for all the “I love Litestream” disclaimers, these are serious issues that speak for themselves.

I write C# and rust fulltime. Native discriminated unions (and their integration throughout the ecosystem) are often the deciding factor when choosing rust over C#.

Inputs were not long enough to properly see either of the true wins in terms of reduced token counts for terser formats or their benefits in terms of avoiding stuffing the context window thereby potentially reducing accuracy. The test reall

C# will be a force to reckon with if/when discriminated unions finally land as a language feature.

Are their ghostty builds statically linked by default or does zig follow in the footsteps of the C/C++ world and dynamically link everything? If statically linking (like rust) then a huge part of the incremental build times for apps wi

A well-written JOIN against a well-designed database (regardless if we're talking postgres, SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB, or MS SQL) should not be slow. If it's slow, you're using it wrong.

This plagues (plagued?) pretty much everything to do with WordPress, from core to every theme and plugin developed.

Well, yes, I omitted anything that may or may not happen to explain the general principle. Cardinality-based optimizations can and do take place, but they depend on the db being aware of the shape of your data (you need to analyze the table

It's a flattened tree, and you've used the index to reach a point where you have multiple child nodes that meet the precondition thing_date < 17. Some, but not all, of these have thing_color = blue, but the important part is th

Not a great article; I clicked expecting something super technical about SQLite internals and found a mix of rdbms basics and some misconceptions. The limitations in the blog post aren't really specific to SQLite (for the most part), t

Great job, Vicente and Michael! * I love the writing, it's witty and poignant * I was impressed that WASD controls worked with my keyboard set to Dvorak :) * Unfortunately have to second the comments about nausea; the oddly paced camer

I think the article could use more on the cache invalidation and write-through (?) behavior. Are updates to the same file batched or written back to S3 immediately? Do you do anything with write conflicts, which one wins?

Thanks for pointing that out, TIL!

I don't like relying on (release-only) llvm optimizations for a number of reasons, but primarily a) they break between releases, more often than you'd think, b) they're part of the reason why debug builds of rust software are

You misunderstood the purpose of that trick. The vector is not going to be accessed again, the idea is to move it to another thread so it can be dropped in parallel (never accessed).

I wonder if you used their image editing feature if it would insist on “correcting” the number of limbs even if you asked for unrelated changes.

I’ve used this but it made my laptop spontaneously reboot a few times (or was it a hard lockup that necessitated a reboot)? I liked it but ended up putting it away. Dual GPU nvidia and integrated Intel, was running the latest Ubuntu LTS at

Great work and nice write up, Ash! A suggestion: in the comparison table under the “AES and Port-Parallelism Recipe” it would be great to include “streaming support” and “stable output” (across os/arch) as a column. Also something to b

Framing it in gigawatts is very interesting given the controversy about skyrocketing electric prices for residential and small business users as a result of datacenters over the past three years, primarily driven by AI growth. If, as anothe

Any time looking at the RO data directly triggers a need to edit it. Eg, you notice a typo or a mistake, you get the idea for a follow up or clarification, etc.

All this praise for the titanium casing makes it a real bummer that the Pro has been downgraded to aluminum.

I’m intrigued but that is one of the worst (least technical) product pages for a very technical product that I’ve come across. My biggest concern was that it has no mention of compatibility, it just says it connects to the smart meter via z

I am in a unique position to confirm that they are a load of bunk. I have solar urticaria and develop hives in response to UV exposure, directly proportional to how much UV is getting through. I’ve developed hives in minutes while the UV in

I don’t have a LinkedIn and it has impaired my job hunts in the past but I always worry that creating one now (without the references of colleagues from decades of past work) would look worse than not having one?

> okay, looks like there is a way but it's really convoluted and you need to basically jump-start the low voltage system So what you're actually saying is, there really isn't a (sane) way after all.
