From the docs: > ZeroFS fetches object data in 128 KiB parts Read/write operations in object storage are _far more_ expensive than stored bytes. I'm always afraid of anything that abstracts over S3/GCS access specifically

A pure Go, in-memory Cassandra emulator Technically for work, but it was during a hackathon so we could reduce the amount of tests we need to run against real or containerized instances. Go as the language just because that's the stack

Yeah... my .com renewal lapsed due to an expired credit card, and it was snatched before I realized it. They've always wanted $2k for it. Even if I was OK paying in principle, that's too much for a personal blog that gets one post

Right!? My mind teleported back to the TechTV era for a second.

Not to mention you can restrict who can file issues with permissions. So you have a forcing function, whereas hoping tags are correctly applied is a never ending battle.

> Author: frontend technical lead, setting high code standards Haha, to be fair it's common to half-ass personal projects even if it's your primary domain.

Off-topic rant: I hate when websites hide the scrollbar. By all means, apply minimal styling to make it cohesive with the website background and foreground. But don't completely hide it. This is included on that page's stylesheet:

You can definitely use this approach for large projects. No matter how big, at some point you are just reading a function or file. You don't need to read every single file to find bugs. This can be combined with a more strategic approa

Both would be sick! I do spend quite a bit of time making my own "tables" and re-arranging things.

Are there any enhancements that you've wanted to do, but haven't had the time? I'm a huge fan, and am surprised how stable Monodraw has been for me. I've kept a single, growing document open as a scratch pad for the last

Ha, I love the project name "Shadesmar". Journey before destination, friend. :crossed-wrists:

> because interface{} is always counted as escaped from the stack Not quite - if the function accepting interface{} can be inlined (and other heuristics are groovy), then it won't escape. Trivial example but it applies to real-world

That makes sense. I love my iPhone 13 Mini. Its only issues are battery life (now), and non-competitive camera. I'm personally happy with the photos it takes, but then I look at my girlfriend's shots and get FOMO. While I doubt it

I've been using Otter for ~2(?) years, and it's a good time. This post made me realize we should upgrade to v2, as we've had a craving for async refresh. Thanks to maypok86 for their dedication. The long comment threads on Ri

The OTel SDK has always been much worse to use than Prometheus for metrics — including higher overhead. I prefer to only use it for tracing for that reason.

For many years at FB, suffixing dangerous or really-deprecated tokens with `_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED` was the standard. Everyone[^1] was in on the joke. In the middle of the pandemic when ~50% of the workforce had started post-2020,

Thank you! This is the resource I've been wanting to hand-feed web components to me. Looking forward to playing around with some personal projects. :)

This is awesome — but sucks that support isn't widespread yet.

Expect helped launch my early career in programming. Automating tedious tasks as a network engineer and sysadmin motivated me to learn proper software development. If gluing together TCL/tk scripts could make my life easier, imagine wh

They're pleasurable when you're the only author. They become a minefield unless every contributor is diligent, which happens very often.

Love the idea, but the contrast is broken when `prefers-color-scheme: light`. Can't read headings or settings text. Only tried the live demo page — so ignore this if it's fixed. :)
