Does process.call in gleam/erlang/process ever cancel the callee, or only stop the caller waiting?

Timeout semantics of process.call I'm designing a Gleam service on the BEAM target that makes blocking requests to worker processes using process.call from gleam/erlang/process with a timeout in milliseconds. My understanding from the module documentation is that when the timeout elapses, the caller gets a timeout outcome instead of blocking forever — but th

Does VSCodium support proprietary Microsoft Marketplace extensions via product.json modification?

Extension Gallery Configuration VSCodium is distributed as a telemetry-free binary of VS Code Source. By default, it utilizes the Open VSX Registry for extension discovery and installation rather than the official Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace. Certain proprietary extensions, such as the C# Dev Kit or Live Share, are licensed specifically for official

Embedded Git transition and System Git compatibility boundaries

Sourcetree provides the option to toggle between the Embedded Git binary and the System Git installation via the Tools > Options menu. This configuration determines whether the application uses a bundled version of the Git CLI or the version installed globally on the operating system. When transitioning from System Git to Embedded Git, there is a risk of

Cucumber-JVM and JUnit: Parameter Type Resolution Ambiguity

Custom Parameter Type Conflict Cucumber Expressions provide a mechanism to map step arguments to Java method arguments via the ParameterTypeRegistry . This allows for domain-specific parsing that replaces traditional regular expressions. When integrating Cucumber-JVM with JUnit, developers may register multiple custom parameter types. A technical uncertainty

SET BLOB in dynamic SQL: unclear buffer reuse after Firebird 4.0.2 patch

Goal Determine whether the server reuses temporary BLOB buffers or allocates new ones for each execution of the SET BLOB statement when used inside dynamic SQL, after applying the 4.0.2 memory‑leak fix. Constraints Transactions involve writing BLOBs larger than 1 GB with the BLOB_SUB_TYPE storage type. The behavior must be observed in a long‑running transact

When does Spyder invalidate its completion cache after a package upgrade?

Stale cache behavior in Spyder Spyder’s Variable Explorer snapshots the current namespace, and its code completion relies on the Language Server Protocol. When a package in the environment is upgraded or a module on disk is modified, the IDE may still display old symbols or values until a manual refresh occurs. The documentation does not state whether a simp

Will New Relic add a test‑mode flag to its agents for isolating test data?

The goal is to ascertain whether New Relic intends to introduce a test‑mode capability within its agents that would automatically separate test telemetry from production data without requiring users to maintain distinct accounts or license keys. Currently, data isolation depends entirely on using separate account identifiers, and no built‑in flag exists to m

Analysis timeout terminates the Qodana run mid-inspection — graceful cancellation remains unresolved

Running Qodana in CI calls for a hard ceiling on analysis time. The documented run.timeout option in qodana.yaml (mirrored by a --timeout CLI flag) provides one: when the limit expires, the run stops with a non-zero exit code and a partial report. The open design problem is making that termination — and SIGTERM-based job cancellation — behave gracefully rath

$logProvider debug logging default off from AngularJS 1.5

AngularJS 1.5 changed the default for $logProvider.enableDebugLogging from true to false. In 1.4 and earlier, $log.debug calls from Angular internals and third-party modules were emitted by default, which increased console volume. From 1.5 onward the flag defaults to false and debug output is suppressed unless explicitly enabled in the module config phase. T
