Just an idea, is it possible to automatically rotate secrets immediately after they're used or are these things like passwords to online platforms that need to go through a reset flow.

Which model are you using?

Seems pretty cool. You should chuck a screenshot or two up at the top of the README

You could say that about any game engine. Are you suggesting Bevy should try and not optimise performance because perf and fun are not correlated?

I'm not an expert by any means but there are some papers exploring this using category theory.

It's amazing how powerful and clean Postman and Insomnia both felt when they were young and followed such similar trajectories into bloat and UI-unfriendliness hell.

Can anyone explain the use of ptrdiff_t instead of size_t (he has typedef'd "size" for ptrdiff_t) The macros are wrapping _Alignof and sizeof both which can't return non-zero numbers I thought.

I don't really understand why these kind of posts make it to the top page of HackerNews. Perhaps there is a bigger audience for this than you would think?

This looks really useful! I've just started working on a (mostly pedagogical) little project making a chat server/client in C and started reading through Beej's guide to networking which is great for the fundamentals but I was struggling with deciding how I want to structure my larger code in terms of sockets, clients, multiplexing, etc. I may just end up using your library if it fits (after reading through it some more), else take inspiration from it at the very least.

I've only just dipped my toes into Elixir and Phoenix but so far really loving it. I feel like I've noticed it popping up on here way more often lately or is that just the ol' frequency bias kicking in?

I see. I wasn't aware that Nix was a build system and probably should have investigated a bit more before responding. Truthfully I don't use OCaml professionally but just in a hobby capacity. I believe you could roll your own using Make but the compiler invocations (which you can get dune to spit out if you want) become more complex over time the more features you add like PPXs, or `ctypes`, and unit testing, the more time you will save by using dune. tl;dr running ocamlopt directly works but will become cumbersome the bigger the project becomes

I'm not very familiar with Nix but Dune is a build system not a dependency manager. You would need it regardless.

Is there a way to have tabs at the top of the browser? I like that about Chrome on my tablet, I can just hit the tabs at the top to swap, whereas on Firefox you need to hit the Tabs icon at the top right that brings up the switcher, then find the one you want and click that.

That's awesome. I ordered an Orangecrab to start learning FPGAs with and it just arrived :)
