The readme has a lot of words but still does not clearly explain what this does or what you'd use it for. The best I can gather is that this captures telemetry while you're running some computationally-expensive job, and checks th

I've been using the preview for a bit, and I'm quite surprised to see them expanding the preview with so many unfixed issue. For example, merging an entire stack is completely broken in many cases: https://github.com&#x

I'd assume it's common knowledge that you cannot paginate using OFFSET + LIMIT unless you use ORDER BY on an unique set of columns, no matter what database you're using. The only exception is when the database provides an exp

I never understood the point of the anti-virus adding a message to _outgoing_ emails. Basically "I swear there is no virus in this email I'm sending you, trust me bro".

I'm not familiar with Outlook's resending, but the use case is supported if the sender uses DKIM. If the email is forwarded without changing any details, it can keep the DKIM signature. That allows the forwarded email to still pas

There are lots of free tools that automatically analyze the reports for you (you send it to them, instead of yourself). But if you send all emails for your domain from one email server, you could just disable rua reporting. The reports are

That PrEP is in some ways similar to a vaccine, and there is still a lot of value in getting a better vaccine (cheaper and/or lasting longer).

Why would anyone use GridFS for any serious use case? It costs 10-20x as much as storing the files on S3. If unless you already have all your data in MongoDB and don't want an additional dependency for a small number of files it makes

LLMs do learn from mistakes. Not as directly from individual mistakes like humans do, but in aggregate the models have improved much more in the last year than most humans I know learn in the same time.

Do you mean "Unlike Deno Desktop"? Deno Desktop definitely relies on a browser engine.

Yeah, they don't make it that clear, but you get basically the same functionality as with LetsEncrypt for free, including wildcard certs. You basically only need to pay for manually issued certs, or some of their other additional featu

I use them in some cases to avoid the rate limits on LetsEncrypt, and they have better support for some older platforms (like ancient Android versions), and I'm pretty happy so far. I have a paid account to support them, but it's

At PowerSync we use a wa-sqlite build with SQLite3MultipleCiphers for encryption at rest. You do still need a secure key to use with this. The simplest is to persist the key server-side (and specifically not on the client), and provide it t

Now you can ask "Is it easier to ask an AI agent to do X than asking my employee?" Good metrics is difficult, but sometimes a simple comparison like that is enough.

Yup - interesting to see so much written about Postgres having a performance regression on Linux 7.0, in a scenario that affects almost no-one in practice. Meanwhile MongoDB refuses to run at all on Linux 7.0 due to some issue with tcmalloc

In many of my projects don't show any closed pull requests for the last 6 days. The CLI can list them, but anything going through search shows nothing. Their support acknowledged the issue, but has been silent since then, and the statu

This is not just about the UI, it's about the mental model and management of the changes. Just covering the review process: Yes, you can structure your PR into 3 commits to be reviewed separately. I occasionally structure my PRs like t

I can see a lot of time was put into the report, and it helps to have the detail, but in my mind it glosses over one of the most important parts: The dispute in the stewardship of the bundler and rubygems open-source projects. As I understa

In my experience, Windows is very far from a "it just works" OS.

This is still an interesting read, but has anything here changed in the meantime? And out of interest, do other JS engines use the same type of structure to represent properties?

There are a bunch of utilities that don't actually _do_ anything useful. The proxy in this example is used for nothing other than debug logs. The DOM utility layer just slightly reduces the number of LOC to create a DOM node. And then

If that is your source, then Safari was _way_ behind for all of 2025 up until this month, where it suddenly caught up.

SBOM may contain similar info to lockfiles, but the purposes are entirely different. Lockfiles tells the package manager what to install. SBOM tells the user what your _built_ project contains. In some cases it could be the same, but in mos

As mentioned in those threads, there is no SQLite WAL corruption if you have a working disk & file system. If you don't, then all bets are off - SQLite doesn't protect you against that, and most other databases won't eith

We're relying on logical replication heavily for PowerSync, and I've found it is a great tool, but it is also very low-level and under-documented. This article gives a great overview - I wish I had this when we started with our im

Probably a security feature. If it can access the internet, it can send your private data to the internet. Of course, if you allow it to run arbitrary commands it can do the same.

FoundationDB also has a Mongo-compatible document layer, but it seems like the last release was 6 years ago, so probably doesn't count anymore.

The project looks great! Object storage is often so much better in terms of cost efficiency than a database on EBS. It's often 10-20x more expensive for EBS after taking into account that you need 3x replicas for a typical MongoDB depl
