They want to know where the holes are so that they can show a loading state.

My guess is the JSON serializer uses strings for int64s to avoid loss of precision.

Stripe gets 99.999% uptime on top of a MongoDB-like database

Isn’t it actually MongoDB? They describe it as an “extension” [1] but it sounds like they added cluster management without changing the database itself.

OIDC is what fixes the “dog breakfast” criticism. With OIDC you (in theory) don’t have to write custom modules per provider anymore.

And chance this is open source?

I’m building something similar and I can’t decide on the relationship struct tag syntax to use. Would be neat to see how others are thinking about it.

Most cloud providers will accept a cloud init cloud config file. Sometimes they call it a “script” but they still accept the Yaml file if it has the `#cloud-config`.

There are modules for setting up ssh, adding users, installing packages, etc.

Buncombe honestly did a much better job than the surrounding counties. Up here in Madison County most of the updates were only posted on Facebook. A lot of the updates from here and surrounding counties were posted on Facebook as photos of text or videos with no caption.

I get that these counties don’t have the budget or the technical staff for this but it’s really unfortunate.

You can listen without a license. I was able to hear everything on a $15 handheld and it was immensely helpful.

In an emergency you are allowed to transmit without a license. There were plenty of unlicensed calls going to the Mt. Mitchell repeater.

All that being said, I am definitely getting my license once this is over.

Go is simple like C is simple. Add a garbage collector and concurrency and it’s easier to do some things but the simplicity of the language means you have to intimately understand more of the runtime to not shoot yourself in the foot.

There’s a talk by Rob Pike where he mentions that it would have been difficult for code using map, filter, etc. to be as fast as the equivalent code using a for loop without a sufficiently smart compiler.

So I think the motivation was more implementation simplicity . But if they had tried to add zero cost iterators it probably would have leaked complexity into the language too.
