Where is the "added two new emojis". Not worth to upgrade without it.

Integrating with server software, the performance is nice to have, as you can have say 100 kRPS requests coming in that need some jq-like logic. For CLI tool, like you said, the performance of any of them is ok, for most of the cases.

System outputting the configuration file failed (it could check the size and/or content and stop right away), but also a system importing the file failed. These usually sound simple/stupid in a hindsight. I am not a fan of everything centralising to a few hands. As in bad situation, they can also be weaponised or attacked. And in good situation their blast radius is just too big and a bit random, in this case global.

Solving issue for a few, and making issues for millions, including perhaps the few. It is easier to sleep at nights though, for a few.

Simplicity in high-level: Lua, low-level: Zig (combined in one (complex): Rust?)

It was the second Chinese registered ship with Russian crew within a short period of time. A year ago this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newnew_Polar_Bear cut the gas pipe and another communications line.

I am sure if the cowardly Russians ever did this to USA, it would cause a much bigger drama and retaliation wave, and China would take the hit as well.

You seem to be worried because of _just enough_ of part of somehow your money is given to Ukraine. Come on. They are fighting for all of us. And all we need to do is to give support. And you are getting tired. I am also disappointed that the west have not acted as a single front. In EU it seems we cannot even put puppets like Viktor Orbán in control. Yes, whole west needs to step up. Russia doesn't listen anything else than force. Period.

rqlite is a great project! Sometimes I have been wondering, how hard would it be to embed it into web server process, like nginx or apache, as a module.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was written by AI.

> There's really only 4 framerworks (React, Vue, Angular & Svelte, in this order), they pretty much do the same thing

For me it looks there are only 4 frameworks in that category. htmx in my eyes feels like a welcomed step back from those. Closer to what we used to do before (server-side html generation and such), but with a small twist. I have not really used it, but React etc. never felt good fit for me, personally.

I'd love to understand when a browser account/profile picker is useful? I do know that I need to pick e.g. account for which Gmail inbox I want to read, but that happens inside Gmail's account picker. I know that I could have profile in browser so that it always logins to right account, but then again when I browse different things, I do not want to constantly switch the browser profile either. Then on computers you have separate user accounts already that different family members can use without leaking their personal data.

For development, the incognito/guest is usually good enough (when you need to have "clean" state).

> Frankly, nothing the EU or the USA is doing at this point will matter, if Asia carries on doing what they are doing.

Perhaps something that EU or the USA ends up doing, will make Asia not to carry what they are doing?

> We need to either invent technology (which we are) to reduce emissions, or even extract them from the air, OR we need some crazy form of diplomacy to stop Asia from growing

This seems to give some hope that EU or the USA can do something on their own, which feels like it may even matter. Or did you mean "AND" instead of "OR"?

You need to get the 256 bit key (probably represented as 32 bytes in your computer's memory - usually crypto random bytes, e.g. key derivation like HKDF). Not sure how Zoom exactly does it, but it is likely that this key is rotated frequently. You might need associated authenticated data too (or AAD) to be sure that you got decryption right.

> I switched from viewing Google mostly positively to more skeptically

I think I share the feeling. I feel more and more disconnect from their stuff every day. Same thing with their hardware. Original Google Wifi was great, the Google Nest Wifi Pro is not. You cannot listen Rage Against The Machine's Bullet in the Head in their Youtube Music Premium without popups, that you cannot disable. The only answer from their customer support seems to be: "please, unsubscribe". The search engine feels also worse and worse. If you put anything more specific, all the links lead to fake sites. Youtube is still quite good, mostly because of the content not found elsewhere. In general I care Google a lot less these days, and I feel it is a mutual feeling.
