It's a matter of expressiveness, Rust expresses more. E.g. make a table that's 3x3 is easier to read (Go), but the equivalent line in Rust would also include material, angles, height, etc. because the type system encodes much more

I know (from our customers) that some of their customers make buying decisions based on the availability of webhooks. I'm unaware of anyone doing it based on the availability of our other functionality (but it could be I just don'

We (Svix, webhooks infra) actually help our customers directly write to Kafka topics, S3 buckets, SQS, etc. and have for a few years now. There are definitely people that adopt that, but receivers as well prefer the simplicity of webhooks.

Webhooks are simple and ubiquitous, and that's both a weakness and a strength. It's also why they are used for a lot of things, even things they are not great for (state sync). These weaknesses are why we[1] added FIFO endpoints,

I've lived both in the US and the UK. The US has the 5th amendment protecting you from self-incrimination, while in the UK you can go to prison for not divulging your encryption password (even if you forgot it!). The US doesn't ha

This, and other similar legislation, serve as a constant reminder of why the American founding fathers had to revolt against tyranny, and why constitution amendments like the 1st and 4th exist. The 4th in particular was written as a respons

It has build.rs, which has essentially the same problems.

How is that different (in this sense) to any "slower" rewrites or other significant changes?

I wasn't comparing to Iran, I was just saying that putting an F-35 and a $2m drone on the same list and same count was funny. As for the $40m number: I also saw this number, but I don't think it's correct. E.g. Germany recent

Sure. But looking at all of the downed Israeli crafts, they are all $2-5m drones (all 18 of them). For perspective: Patriot missiles cost $4m each.

It's a bit weird counting drones in the same list as expensive fighter jets (and other expensive planes).

I use bbwrap to sandbox Claude. Works very well and gives me a lot of control and certainty around the sandbox.

Just buy the family pack and get your wife and kids on it too. As for traveling to the future: that sounds like fun!

Tip: if you implemented support for Clerk, you also support all the rest of Svix customers, and compatible with https://www.standardwebhooks.com/ So you support many more than you realize!

These are two sides of the same coin. Go has its quirks because they put things in the standard library so they can't iterate (in breaking manners), while Rust can iterate and improve ideas much faster as it's driven by the ecosys

Thanks for the context!

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Please let me know if you end up open sourcing this!

Very interesting that they opted for a rewrite in Rust instead of adjusting the existing codebase. I wonder how long it'll take them writing a compositor from scratch.

Pixels are pretty weak hardware wise in the areas people care about (heavy, relatively slow charging, big, etc.); I'd probably recommend people buy Samsungs which also get long term software updates nowadays.

How did you implement this runtime check? Is it a lint rule, or using the type system?

I think this framing is a bit backwards. Many C programs (and many parts of C programs) would benefit from being more like Go or Python as evident by your very own sds.c. Now, if what you're saying is that with super highly optimized s
