I'm not going to repeat the arguments I made that time because my views on the subject haven' t changed. What has changed, however, is that the number of contributions I receive on my open source projects has gone up, and nearly all are now made with LLMs. The other day…

Short of adding an entire audit trigger system, how can we know what data looked like before and after a change at that exact date?The SQL:2011 standard formalized a proper solution over a decade ago with temporal tables.

The WASI Subgroup voted to ratify WASI 0.3.0, rebasing WASI onto the WebAssembly Component Model's async primitives. Most of the changes in the 0.3 interfaces are entirely mechanical. WASI 0.2 had to perform some acrobatics to make async work, but now that async is native to the component model we can write the same things we did before but much more ergonomically. Here is a overview of the patterns we were encoding in…
