Project mention: Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...
If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.
Project mention: Sanic Framework – Build fast. Run fast. Accelerate your web app development | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-22
I've found myself at this webpage multiple times while trying to minimize the complexity of APIs in my C projects.
My conclusion for now is that C coroutines are something to be left to the implementer. For example: Mongoose (https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose) uses event callbacks to deal with asynchronousness. It is much more pleasant to wrap a library like this in whatever thread/task primitives your system has rather than try to integrate the mythical cross-platform c couroutine.
Project mention: Litestar – powerful, flexible, and highly performant Python ASGI framework | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-26
There's a fork of that too: https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp
* HTTP: Ring is the de facto way to manage HTTP request (see https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Concepts). Jetty and Aleph are common web servers (and https://github.com/clj-commons/aleph) that implement Ring interface.
This one file contains everything needed for this simplified app to run. Run it with ruby main.rb, which should spin up an instance of the Thin web server (the default web server that comes with Sinatra). Visit localhost:4567 and you'll see the JSON response.
Project mention: Windmill: Open-source developer platform to turn scripts into workflows and UIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-12
Such a shame. Swift has many beautiful language features.
I give swift a try every once in a while.
Problems of my last attempt:
- The Swift REPL (lldb to be precise) depends on libpython-dev (v3.8). WSL (ubuntu 22.04) comes with 2.7 and 3.10, so the lldb dependency depends on an old python version. The fix was to copy the 3.10 binary to the directory where lldb expects it, and rename it to libpython3.8.so. It seems that it's backwards compatible so it worked on my machine.
- I tried to compile and statically link a hummingbird (web framework, more light weight than vapot, https://github.com/hummingbird-project/hummingbird) hello-world example. I had a liking error. Luckilly someone in the swift forums helped me. The problem was that my package.swift file had the "-static-stdlib" flag only as a swiftSettings. It needed to be also a linkerSetting.
In the end I was able to build my example. But at this point I already spent multiple days debugging problems that are unrelated to my applicationn or the Swift language.
It's a shame because I see its potential. Fixing the (linux/windows) tooling problems would probably only take "some" developers. Apple has near infinite money and could sponsor them if they wanted to., but they gain little by it. Besides them, not many are invested in it.
- Functions have a critical bug that prevent us from using in development so we decided to move to our own API servers: https://github.com/supabase/edge-runtime/issues/212
