Many other countries have figured this out since the early 2000s, the US could do it as well if they wanted to.

As a long time Hatchet user, I understand why you’ve created this library, but it also disappoints me a little bit. I wish more engineering time was spent on making the core platform more stable and performant.

I recently migrated to Fastmail, and they are handling this very well.

Does "some databases" mean all? I have three databases on Render, all are currently down.

+1 for Zigbee2MQTT. I've been using it at the core of my home automation for a few years, and it's incredibly reliable.

The trick to make CI in large codebases fast, or how to make any system fast, is to only test what’s changed.

In CI you only need to lint the files that have changed, or run the tests that depend on code that has changed etc.

This way the time it takes to execute the tests scales with the amount of changes, and not with the total amount of code.

New comment by zegl in "Mptcp: An overlooked new feature in Go 1.21"

zegl — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 11:54:13 +0000

Posts with text like this really grinds my gears:

> chatGPT says that MPTCP has been included in the mainline kernel since Linux kernel version 3.6 and that users can configure and use MPTCP features, but the MPTCP community website says that MPTCP v1 is only supported since 5.6.

Why is it interesting what a GPT has to say about it, if you've fact-checked it and found contradictory information?

zegl — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 10:48:24 +0000

Very nice, and well done team!

I've been using v5 in production since beta 20, and it has been working very reliable for us since then. The documentation for how to upgrade has been a great resource, and a great example of how to do breaking changes in a library as large as this one.

What are peoples thoughts on sponsoring open source projects as a way to build awareness for dev tools? I think I've seen PostHogs logo in sponsor sections in some READMEs.

I really like this project, and it's fun to see that they are adding their own extra emojis as well.

This intrigued me, and I believe that I've found a solution that's slightly faster for this AoC problem. It's achieved by keeping a running tally/counter for the last 14 characters (benchmark in comments).
