Relatedly, is there a good way to expose a directory of files via the S3 API? I could only find alpha quality things like rclone serve s3 and things like garage which have their own on disk format rather than regular files.

consider versitygw or s3proxy

Why is it that languages like this don't scale? It's not the first time I see a powerful language that got forgotten. Other examples include SmallTalk and Common Lisp (tiny community).

It is because some languages are "too powerful"? What does that say about our industry? That we're still not that advanced of a specie to be able to handle the full power of such languages?

I say that because it seems languages that are "dumbed down" seem to absolutely dominate our world (Python, Ruby, JS, etc.)

frankly it's a miracle any of them scaled at all, such popularity mostly comes down to an arbitrary choice made decades ago by a lucky vendor instead of some grand overarching design

Is there an open source service designed with HDDs in mind that achieves similar performance? I know none of the big ones work that well with HDDs: MinIO, Swift, Ceph+RadosGW, SeaweedFS; they all suggest flash-only deployments.

Recently I've been looking into Garage and liking the idea of it, but it seems to have a very different design (no EC).

elitepleb · 3 months ago

Any of them will work just as well, but only with many datacenters worth of drives, which very few deployments can target.

It's the classic horizontal/vertical scaling trade off, that's why flash tends to be more space/cost efficient for speedy access.

my first guess would be: server honors X-Forwarded-For where it should not?

Edit: looks like thats it: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/net/turfwar...

So basically someone is running a script iterates over the whole ipv4 range and calls the claim endpoint with each single adress in the X-Forwared-For http header once.

a simple proof of the opposite is that no one's yet to exploit any of the untaken ranges that way

That makes it sound like the "hot" part has been removed then, and it's just basically a "live reload" rather than "hot code loading", is that right? There is no persistent state and you get a fresh one after the automatic compilation happened?

elitepleb · 5 months ago

queued messages stay around in the mailboxes, so no state is lost, but don't get migrated/transformed/versioned via the appup mechanism, unless you opt back into it via libraries for it like https://github.com/ausimian/castle

I thought elixir devs have cooled on the whole hot reload update or is this different?

elitepleb · 5 months ago

Elixir removed a jankier https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/sasl/appup.html mechanism that defined how state is upgraded or downgraded, while watching a directory and recompiling a module automatically or manually from the repl is still common

Had exactly the same thought. The first thing on the list: invalid reference/null pointer exceptions, or whatever they're called here.

elitepleb · 5 months ago

This Nil is not a Null, and is only used as a sentinel value to return an error value. And unlike lua, indexing into an unasigned value will not return nil, but throw an exception like index_error.

Doesn't seem to have received any updates in the last 2 years. I'm wondering what the use cases are for this type of scripting in embedded systems, though?

elitepleb · 5 months ago

Running arbitrary user code in IOT systems safely like https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Berry/#rules

It's still receiving maintenance from contributors, but these sort projects reach a stable maturity and stay there for years fulfilling their use case.

Vote with your wallet, there are thousands of games that don't do shady stuff.

elitepleb · 5 months ago

There's fewer games to vote on every year, as conglomerates like Microsoft out vote your wallet a billion times over every time they buy a game studio to embrace, extend and then extinguish.
