Laurent Bercot@kloenk @navi Back when 128 kB was the limit for argv+envp, Google was hitting it too because they passed all the configuration for their whole software stack on the command line as --long-option=value switches.
Their solution? Compress the command line. So every binary started by ungzipping argv[1] and parsing it to get the configuration.
The person explaining this to me saw my horrified face, and said with the perfect Hide The Pain Harold smile: "a series of individually completely rational and reasonable decisions led to this." and I have been thinking a lot about it since.
the eternal struggle to either live paperless because i'm a nerd, or to write down everything with fountain pens because it's ~pretty~

@box464 Do domains just for mail count?
@andrewrk Your zig code is not a 1-to-1 port of the original function. You added two constant variables. Had you started with a `var psize` and then modified it like the C code, Zig wouldn't have caught the bug either.
