Are there improvements in how memory_limit works? I often had DuckDB get OOM killed because it went beyond its limit. It's definitely one of the reasons why I usually have an AI tune the environment for my datasets.

I just tried building and running it. Surprisingly many websites already load fine, though Youtube doesn't and Vimeo/Reddit comment section crashed it. Still, the results are quite encouraging! It takes ~6GB of HDD to build it.

I've recently been wondering: could you re-compress gzip to a better compression format, while keeping all instructions that would let you recover a byte-exact copy of the original file? I often work with huge gzip files and they'

Thanks! Any ideas why it didn't get merged? Clearly 7-Zip has some development activity going on and so does this fork...

I worry that 7-Zip is going to lose relevance because lack of zstd support. zlib's performance is intolerable for large files and zlib-ng's SIMD implementation only helps here a bit. Which is a shame, because 7-Zip is a pretty ama

I don't want this to sound cynical, but do we have any examples where the US government successfully got the corporations to actually increase security, as opposed to just gaming the regulations to make more money instead?

I'm surprised by the performance. Doesn't qemu have dynamic recompilation capabilities?

Timely! I just deployed it on our company server. There's a hidden gem that's not enabled by default and really helps when pair programming in Jupyter: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user&#x2

Is "zstd" a typo? Couldn't find any sources on it (unless we mean the compression standard), including Wikipedia.

For that to work you have to trust the firmware. Overwriting with something random, saving what was fed and then cross-referencing that against the storage could work better, but there's still some non-zero chance that something you&#x

I'd say that pretty much everything about SQL is bad. Apart from composability, the syntax is super annoying (the ordering of keywords), many databases have pretty much no error reporting if you get it wrong and the linters suck. You c

This move is the exact polar opposite of how I'd like Mozilla to behave. And possibly a strong case for decentralization. It's confusing to me that we keep accepting internet as it is and modifications to what we view - such as ad

The screenshot is really inspiring, would love to see that rendered to a Leaflet-style map that I could use on a weaker computer! That being said, does anybody know how much GPU RAM does it actually require? Would 6GB suffice?
