Yes but there is still a (small) window where confirmed writes can be lost

Please can you link to the relevant guarantees? I did read the documentation just today so clearly misunderstood something!

My understanding is litestream can lose data if a crash occurs before the backup replication to object storage. This makes it an unfair comparison to a Postgres in RDS for example?

A well designed system shouldn’t drop orders?

If you perform at least once processing then use Stripe idempotency keys you avoid such issues?

It was a fun read but I don’t understand the cult following this book has.

Sodium (and the book that goes with it) is a great resource too https://github.com/SodiumFRP/sodium

Something massless and devoid of information can travel faster than light

How can such a thing be detected? And without detection how can speed be measured?

Is this similar to Unison scratch file driven development?

> One of the biggest knocks against Rust as a systems programming language is that it has weak compile-time and metaprogramming capabilities compared to Zig and C++.

Aren’t Rust macros more powerful than C++ template metaprogramming in practice?

Docker is enough in practice no?

Congrats to the team!

Is there a video showing someone spinning this up and finding a bug in a simple app?

A broken counter app maybe?

Weird - Iain m Banks would’ve found Musk’s politics abhorrent

Ultimately you need staging, yes.

But you can’t have every dev tweaking staging at the same time as they work. How can you debug things when the ground is shifting beneath you?

Ideally every dev has their own AWS account to play with, but that can be cost prohibitive.

A good middle ground is where 95% of work is done locally using emulators and staging is used for the remaining 5%.

One of the first things I do when building a new component is create a docker compose environment for it.

Do the old iPods still hold battery well?

My bad, meant USBC - used to have Lightning

I agree but stuck with Apple ecosystem. I like the cheap wired lightning headphones they do. The audio quality is acceptable on public transit, they’re cheap enough to lose and the mic is surprisingly good. Weirdly if Apple stopped making these I would jump ship for an Android phone with 3.5mm.

But those are close to deterministic.

GitHub has their own study using Copilot but given the obvious conflict of interest I would discount it.

Always nostalgic for Cornflower Blue :)

With MonoGame you are supposed to use an editor for creating assets that you then load into the engine built by MonoGame.

Or you build your own editor using MonoGame.

MonoGame is quite different from editor-centric system like Unity and not a good fit for all teams / projects.

Yep. MonoGame is closer to RayLib than Godot.

In fact RayLib has C# bindings so worth considering these two.

FNA is for porting /supporting XNA games with minimal changes.

MonoGame is trying to evolve XNA in small ways.

For a new project I would pick MonoGame.

A handful of start ups will find genuine use cases for these models with real business demand. It just won’t be another AI travel agent chat bot.

Leave them with an old Toshiba and an Ubuntu cd. Good luck kid.

They know the truth. Current ai is a bit useful for some things. The rest is hype.

Significant emissions are from ground transportation. Advocate for walkable neighbourhoods, bike infrastructure and public transit.

Git had amazing value and GitHub made it easy to access that value.

Plenty of Java in the training data too.

If we’re going to have LLMs write the code, why not something more performant? Like pages and pages of Java maybe?

Irrelevant to most ordinary people in the sense that few directly use it, but popular with the source of much of our discourse / culture. Think journalists, taste makers, meme creators etc.
