sundbry··on IPv6 zones in URLs are a mistake
It's not hard, just don't use those addresses in your application.

Link-local ipv6 addresses are not designed for the use case of serving web applications.

You don't have to apologize, you did great work either way.
sundbry··on Go 1.24 Is Released
Then don't set the flag...

This kind of behavior is useful when things are only detectable at runtime. Rudimentary test coverage would uproot it.

sundbry··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
This looks very interesting. Do you have any plans to implement a postgres extension, so that a client postgres can natively sync shapes from an upstream postgres? Very similar to your pglite replica, but for native postgres.
sundbry··on PR process killing morale and productivity
It is actually directly related to the time and complexity of code review. Just because LOC is an imperfect metric for productivity etc., does not mean it's a poor metric for risk, complexity, poor sequencing of changes, or other attributes.
sundbry··on PR process killing morale and productivity
This, you should make soft and hard limits on PR sizes, providing exceptions only for automated changes or rare situations such as structural changes.
sundbry··on Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes

You can use smoothmq (SQS over sqlite) for a celery backend: https://smoothmq.com/
sundbry··on Production-ready Docker Containers with uv
Yeah this would be great if it had a feature like jib (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib) where it just natively packages into a container. It seems like it should have all the information it needs to work, as long as you can override the base image.
sundbry··on California DMV puts 42M car titles on blockchain to fight fraud
Electronic voting is an untrusted, adversarial context. It seems you are part of the problem there, not the solution.

Good question. I was required to submit ID to Au10Tix for an Azure vendor account, and noticed that was outsourcing the data to Israel.
sundbry··on Rules of schema growth (2017)
This is one nice property of Apache Iceberg (a data lake format, built on top of Parquet). The schemas in the data are evolvable, and require both a name and a field ID to identify the field. The names are changeable, but the ID's are immutable, so you can remove a field, and add a new field by the same name, having a different type.

Hi, some questions -

1) Does the fRPC protobuf binary format support the same backwards/forwards compatibility between message versions as the standard?

Others maintain the view that central bank driven infinite debt a/k/a "economic growth" is the key driver of global warming, rather than it's antithesis.
sundbry··on Ask HN: Why are Google's search products bad if Google has decades of Know-how?
Because these days, Google search is just as much as about hiding some information as it is for finding other information. It's a product to maximize revenue and utility for its owners. It's hardly about maximizing utility for the end user.
