Does having the worker pool hold as many threads as cores work well alongside the async pool? It is basically oversubscribed by design. I built a system once which had (this is Rust) a Rayon worker thread pool of 4 threads and a Tokio async

Exactly. I do not know the specifics, but for example if libraries you call into liberally spawn_blocking under the expectation that it is okay, you will be in trouble. Says it right there actually: > It’s recommended to not set this lim

Funnily enough, spawn_blocking is not the right tool here. It is meant for blocking I/O, such as DNS lookups, where your platform might not give you anything better. For genuine CPU-bound work, submitting to a Rayon worker pool is the

I do not understand this rebuttal. I also run self-hosted Wireguard. Initially on a Debian box, nowadays it is integrated into my router (admittedly, this is closed source). For around 6 years at this point. The whole thing could not be eas

Yeah. I don't think PG could even come close. Column-oriented is fundamentally different, and pairs well with all the SIMD acceleration ClickHouse is also doing. There's just no comparison. If a Postgres rewrite came close to that

But do the markets care about a Postgres in Rust? Probably not, or at least not right away. It is a long way towards commercial success. > I suspect rather than hire less people we will just produce more code changes. Why? Towards what e

Yes, my point was not related to null. For all I care you can have `&T` and `Option<&T>` in your language, but allow `&T` to be null. In Rust, that would be `Option<*const T>`. Is that useful? I don't know. But

No, because RateLimiter is then copied on passing it around (pass by value). That is problematic for two reasons: it might be a large type, so copying might be expensive. Second, more likely, it might violate invariants in your domain. For

This is the mess a language lands on when it conflates optionality (a semantic concept) with references/pointers (purely a machine concept). In Go, the requirement " need (non-optional) a reference to an object" is simply

This take was accurate about 2 years ago, up until perhaps one year ago. Current capabilities far exceed what you are outlining, for example using Claude Opus models in a harness such as Claude Code or OpenCode.

I use unbound (recursive resolver), and AdGuard Home as well (just forwards to unbound). Unbound could do ad-blocking itself as well, but it's more cumbersome than in AGH. So I use two tools for the time being. The upside is there&#x27

Agree. I am note sure I understand the premise of the article. You're now recording encountered errors twice, which can look like cancel(fmt.Errorf( "order %s: payment failed: %w", orderID, err, )) retur

In thermodynamics, ultimately you need to input work to remove entropy from a system (e.g. by cooling surroundings). Humans do the same for software. I am an avid user of LLMs but I have not seen them remove entropy, not even once. They onl
