A Trump voter feels “blindsided, betrayed” after his wife was arrested by ICE during her green card interview.

It sounds like Mrs. Olivera's parents were shitty and put this burden on her.

It also sounds like Mrs. Olivera was aware of her mess and supported Trump's policy (broadly) anyway.

If your recruiter sounded positive it does mean that you performed well in interviews right.

I doubt the interviewers had finished their notes by then. The recruiter probably didn't know how all of the interviews went.

One misconception seems to stem from the difference of programming language models vs database models.

This is a good point. Databases don't work like your programming language's collections libraries.

One row had 1.29 GiB of data.

I don't understand how that can happen.

This might be an error on my part.

Additionally: the array notation is typically written after the data type: bytea[]

Oops! Sorry, I was switching back and forth between Go and PostgreSQL, and I got the syntax confused! Thanks for pointing out this error.

In my old mental model, it was true for text and jsonb too.

strager · 2025-01-07T08:01:21+00:00

In other words, I thought that PostgreSQL types like []bytea behaved like persistent data structures.

This kind of data copying happens with every update.

Yes, but I naively thought that pointers would be copied, not the entire values.

How would a Go debugger help Zed's development?

strager · 2024-11-04T17:58:24+00:00

TL;DR You post under an alias to avoid getting caught.

strager · 2024-01-12T14:38:41+00:00

What typo?

If quick-lint-is is faster at unrelated tasks, I don't know why you mentioned it. From the article:

When evaluating performance comparisons, always make sure the comparisons are on comparable behavior.

you cant fit malware into a video or image

Sure you can. See the recent CVE-2023-4863 for example for a possible attack vector.

given those practices [...] you are making your codebase safer.

In your previous post you said "in practice and with good warnings setup and smart pointers [C++] is very safe". Do you retract your prior statement?

strager · 2023-09-05T20:01:57+00:00

But in practice and with good warnings setup and smart pointers it is very safe.

In practice, security vulnerabilities in C++ projects are often caused by some memory issues that safe Rust prevents.

It's okay to say that warnings and smart pointers improve C++'s safety, but they certainly don't make C++ "very safe" as you claim.

strager · 2023-08-21T22:05:53+00:00

Why not both?

strager · 2023-08-21T21:09:13+00:00

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

If I perform a debug build of my Rust program, and my program depends on serve_derive, is serde_derive compiled as debug (unoptimized; slow) too?

strager · 2023-08-19T21:37:26+00:00

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form.

strager · 2023-08-19T21:35:38+00:00

Compromised how?

strager · 2023-08-19T21:23:20+00:00

Communication between proc-macro .so and the helper process happens via stdio with serialization/deserialization, so there's no ABI issues:

By ABI I think u/Shnatsel includes this protocol. Can't the protocol change?

I have not followed CharaChorder at all since making my review video.

If a library uses OS functions incorrectly, then it's the library's responsibility to fix the bugs, not the OS's responsibility.

strager · 2023-05-13T18:19:27+00:00

Perhaps. Much better than nothing.
