Oh this is fun. I'm in the process of building something similar, but I'm splitting it into two parts: the first part is a static site generator and the second is a CGI that implements the micropub spec, which can run the static site generator when it receives new content.

That comparison would depend heavily on what you're storing.

Ion has the option of using symbol tables to replace strings (e.g. in struct/map keys or in values). So, if you benchmark had a large number of records with similar structures, I would expect Ion to pull ahead. On the other hand, if each record had nothing in common, I'd expect them to perform similarly.

One feature of the Ion libraries that I've liked is the parser will take any of the formats and figure out what to do with it (text, binary, compressed binary). It's one less thing to worry about. You can switch encodings later without breaking consumers, you can write plain text Ion when you're testing, etc.

Fast-forward to 2023 and many individual Android apps are 100-500 MB each.

I don't use my google account for much anymore, but I love the idea. I tried very hard to use it and... it didn't work.

I went to my google account and clicked "Create a passkey", but apparent my "device doesn't support creating passkeys" (Linux, Firefox).

The page said my Pixel 2 has an automatically created passkey, so maybe I could experience the "use another device to sign in" flow. Opened a private window and my only option was a password (but there was a feedback prompt asking why I still wanted to use a password).

I tried again with Firefox on Android, but the "Create a passkey" button doesn't even appear. Same story with Chrome on Android.

Is it just me, or does the future look a lot like Internet Explorer in the early 2000s?

Sometimes. Sometimes the fast thing is just heavily parallelized.

RA (Router Advertisement) handles announcing the prefix for SLAAC addresses and DNS.

I suspect the lock is more about keeping other people's trash out than keeping theirs in.

I expect that's a corollary to Parkinson's law
