Really hope enough people buy these new so that in a few years time I can get a second hand one. ;-)

Very promising. But still not stable. One to watch.

Stepping back a bit, we used to call these "programs". Why are they now "hosted"? I see this with recipe databases, fitness trackers, all sorts of things that have no reason to ever leave my laptop except when my backup job runs.

What's the advantage of having the server and data on some device other than the one I'm using to interact with it?

Inputting data on your smartphone and it appearing on your laptop without any extra sync effort.

May...

This is _exactly_ what overpriced management consultants would have done … the only question is which AI tools are they feeding the data to?

Pre-orders immediately exhausted by criminals.

(Awesome tech! Or at least CGI ...)

Thanks for the free access links. I did read through a bit.

The title is misleading because exactly one implementation was chosen for each of the tested languages. They conclude “do not us e Python” because the Python websockets library performs pretty poorly.

Each language is scored based on the library chosen. I have to believe there are more options for some of these languages.

As someone who is implementing an Elixir LiveView app right now, I was particularly curious to see how Elixir performed given LiveViews reliance on websockets, but as Elixir didn’t make the cut.

Was also surprised they omitted Elixir/Erlang from the list of languages. Crazy considering how many messaging apps use OTP on the backend.

Can someone explain how this is not genuinely terrifying from a security perspective?
nelsonic · a year ago
Where is the security problem? All code commits and builds can still be signed. All of this is just a more efficient way of deploying changes without dropping existing connections.

Are you suggesting that hot code replacement is somehow a attack vector? Ericsson has been using this method for decades on critical infrastructure to patch switches without dropping live calls/connections it works.

No need to fear Erlang/BEAM.
