Current ooxml/odt formats use a zip file with xml files inside (plus other files like images). I'd guess one way would be to store the xml itself as a blob and another to use a json field, which Sqlite stores in a more efficient f

Same here. Luckily you can show two apps at the same time in Android so I just put the password manager above the bank's app.

The people making the video are already making the information public, you are just making it more convenient. This strikes me as similar to downloading public court documents from a government site to make them available outside of their f

When was this? I've only seen this "anti-rust" vibe in the past few weeks, guess triggered by the Bun rewrite. Zig people usually will tell you to use the right tool for the job over shilling the language or that you don&#x27

Most users don't need it. Having it on by default is a feature for malware writers not users. But to your point, Node has had permission flags for a while[0] but allows everything by default. Npm could use them to increase security eve

I like the terminal aesthetics but please, for accessibility's sake, make input boxes look more like input boxes and buttons look like buttons.

Removes a barrier of entry if you can look at it from a browser instead of installing a CLI/TUI. Don't try to make me install a random program if I can view it in my sandboxed browser safely. Also, browsers have greasemonkey to he

I guess Bun had the better marketing then. I liked how every new feature came with a benchmark against the previous version and node. See this for example: https://xcancel.com/bunjavascript/status/20482281523974595

To me it feels more like the old "this site only supports IE6". Instead of checking which JS engine the user has, check for specific api support and fail gracefully.

According to the bun team, it was already vibecoded for months before the Anthropic acquisition.

Does it use your tokens when it does this check for malware? or is that part covered by anthropic?

I misread that as "current times" and thought it would sing the news. It does need more streams for other timezones.

Drop the AI written story, take me straight to the "Explore Your Record" view. That's more interesting.

If they managed to make 3 full movies out of The Hobbit, they'll surely be able to make a movie or 2 out of 6 chapters of LotR.

Regarding runtime overhead, I'd assume you would still need an io implementation, it is just showing it to you explicitly instead of it being hidden behind the std lib. For simple projects where you don't want to pass it around in

What's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?

I wonder, does the important_value function get called and the value discarded or never called at all? Looks like a footgun if it has side-effects.

That's already the present. The result is just cached.

Upvotes won't fix the problem. Build the future you want, then people will come.
