By all accounts, TigerBeetle has been a tremendous success, congratulations! My understanding is that it has a deliberately fixed scope, which makes me wonder: how applicable would TigerStyle be in more general-purpose applications? If the

Indeed: https://research.google/blog/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-n... P.S. I can’t believe this happened over 20 years ago, I must be old.

I think it’s hard to truly appreciate any sport you haven’t played yourself. I personally cannot get excited about baseball, and it’s probably mostly because of my own lack of playing experience.

I agree with most points, but I believe the main reason behind TigerBeetle’s lack of memory errors is that they follow the power of 10 rules and do not manage memory dynamically beyond initialization. Team culture and aligning with Zig phil

While I don’t have personal experience with either project, I feel it is safe to say that Bun and TigerBeetle are not comparable projects: TigerBeetle has a strong focus on testing and correctness, and Bun maybe not so much. IIRC, TB did we

Your point is completely invalidated by useless name calling. The people behind cargo are clearly accomplished and serious individuals, and even if you disagree with some of the choices, calling them bozos makes your whole argument unconvin

Somewhat related: Jiff ( https://github.com/BurntSushi/jiff ) is a Rust library inspired by the Temporal api.

Great write-up. And, thanks mitchellh for Ghostty, I switched to it last year, and have not regretted it. However, I am a somewhat surprised that the fix is reserved for a feature release in a couple of months. I would have expected this to

The typestate pattern common in Rust applications allows the compiler to verify that the operations are executed in the right order and that previous states are not accidentally referenced. Here’s a good description: https://clif

Fil-C is an innovative approach and a great technical achievement. However, I wouldn't suggest that it is an universal solution without caveats. For instance, the performance penalty of up to 4x is not acceptable in a lot of cases. Als

I appreciate the candor, and I agree that auto-adaptation probably makes sense in this use case because the workloads are unknown and varied.

Great write up, focusing on facts without fingerpointing. But I must admit I was somewhat surprised Cloudflare was not already proactively monitoring and tuning the generation sizes. Configuring the generation sizes was table stakes for JVM

I am curious, does anyone know what is the use case that mandates the use of git on NonStop? Do people actually commit code from this platform? Seems wild.

Can you elaborate or maybe give some examples about having too many ways to do one thing? I have never heard this complaint about Rust before. Rust even has tooling (clippy) that warns about unidiomatic code.

I wonder if there are two people reading this and wishing that Coldplay had employed this technology earlier this summer? On a serious note, I find this trend of shoving AI everywhere pretty disturbing. For instance, I used to enjoy Spotify

I found the arguments in this article disingenuous. First, the author complains that borrowchecker examples are toys, then proceeds to support their case with rather contrived examples themselves. For instance, the map example is not using

Interesting story, but the “DECIDE” framework definitely gave me strong “conjoined triangles of success” vibes.
