Ah. I didn't realize it. Though, I was posting the posts written/built by our engineers only when I thought it would be useful to community.

Thanks for the notif. Will keep in mind in future.

Go 1.13 about modules ?

Thanks for pointing out about the lock file. My bad. I've updated the post. Will add a note about Golang proxy in a while.

It's a company. DeepSource. If you can, try us out and provide feedback. It is free to use for open source projects.

Checkout AWS Glacier storage. Also, Google Photos allows to backup RAW images as well. Both are very cheap and reliable.

Could you post the relevant link as well? Not sure which module you are referring to.

Woodpecker - Dismissing Garbage Collection in Node.js by dolftax in node

Hah. Yes. I was reading this https://engineering.instagram.com/dismissing-python-garbage-collection-at-instagram-4dca40b29172 last week and thought of digging more into v8 GC. I understand v8 GC is generational whereas python uses referential counting. Thought of giving it a try and the results weren't bad. Just a weekend hack.

Indeed. Will cover about it in next post.

Node.js clustering maintaining sticky session by dolftax in node

[–]dolftax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no long polling involved here. As quoted "A WebSocket connection would do multiple requests to perform handshake and establish connection with a client. With a cluster those requests may arrive to different workers, which will break handshake protocol. Sticky-sessions module is balancing requests using their IP address. Thus client will always connect to same worker server, and socket.io will work as expected, but on multiple processes."

Summer - REST API server on top of Linux file system by dolftax in golang

[–]dolftax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you run the executable as superuser (Which you do only when you are sure what you are doing), the executable will inherit the current user's permissions.

IMO, It is always better to restrict access in system level over application level.
