While I am a big proponent of XDP there are use-cases better suited to DPDK: Being able to offload flows and crypto operations to the NIC is important to a lot of use-cases. The first packet to user space is essentially the slow path even with DMA, that sets up the fast path.

While this is certainly true, there is also another part of the puzzle.

There are plenty contributors in the ecosystem building providers, submitting PRs under the assumption that the ecosystem will benefit and not solely Hashicorp.

As it stands most providers are not maintained by Hashicorp, e.g. AWS, Azure, Google, Hetzner, GitLab, ...

While the license change does not directly affect the providers it limits the ecosystems use of those providers.

No prior experience with it myself, but https://www.taiga.io/ is often mentioned and on my personal bucket list of things to check out.

EDIT: fixed typo

Could you point me to the source. I was under the impression it is dead and Deutsche Telekom now collaborates with Google Cloud on the so called Sovereign Cloud [1].

Isn’t this basically what NextJS and NuxtJS provide, if you only leverage their static rendering?

I unfortunately share your experiences. However in Germany there is a foundation called “Stiftung Warentest” [1], which does independent testing of products. With reviews full of Amazon affiliate links dominating search results, I tend to purchase their tests for ~3 Euros more often than ever.

However this only works for popular product categories, but less so for specialized equipment.

My impression is also that affiliate links hurt consumers in the long run as they reduce the selection of products in reviews or blogs to those the authors can earn money with. This however leaves out potential alternatives. More often than not the winner of product categories (at least those I was researching) of independent tests were not available from sites running affiliate programs. For example a consumer-grade lawn mower from an otherwise professional gardening company or a tent from a Scandinavian brand.

nix has a very steep learning curve, but I have been using it on macOS for a while now. Can’t recommend it enough. Even started using it on my personal PC, which allows me to use the same nix flake on both systems.

EDIT: Personal PC is running NixOS not Windows.

There is also a language called zig[1], which popped up on hckrnews a few times in the past. I didn't have the chance to try it out, but am following the blog.

From what I can gather, it supports compile time code execution and reflection, so no preprocessor necessary. Furthermore it has a lot of safety features and optional checks, a nullable type instead of null value and manual memory management but also provides a `defer` statement.

There was a very interesting article in the german business-magazine "brand eins" [1]. The article is not yet available for free (always released for free a few weeks after the magazine).

But the gist was that UBI is only possible with a substantial tax reform. In the article an example of 1000€ per month is presented and a universal "commerce" tax of 50% used (no other taxes just taxing money going out of businesses, e.g. earnings, salaries).

Several examples are presented: Low income of 24000€, 12000€ - 12000€ = 0€ in taxes. Higher income of 100000€, 50000€ - 12000€ = 38000€ in taxes.

It concludes that basic income in Germany is therefore great for everyone with salaries below 240000€ compared to the current taxation system.

Calculations for the amount of money necessary were also included, but I am unable to recall them from memory. Looking up the article online revealed a report by the interviewee from the magazine article [2], which states that a UBI of 800€ per month (including major reforms) would cost around 454.10 billion €, which would be about 2/3 of Germany's current tax income.

Lua is still my goto embedded scripting language. I don't have any experience with haxe per se, but is the transpiler embeddable as well?

Seems it was created by one developer called Stephen Cross (scross.co.uk). I am quite impressed by his accomplishment. The only thing I miss are custom allocators.

I agree. The first minute I looked through the tutorial `onChange` confused me, because I expected it to take a callback.

I would prefer `transact` or any other of your proposed method names over onChange.
