I remember this section for the 200 queries per page thing, which is a huge difference between sqlite and most databases. Most databases run in a separate process and use a network boundary to separate it from the server processes (socket c

Article mentions WAL and how this sentiment is about 16 years out of date. But also, you can duplicate databases for out-of-order processes. But also also, if you have higher concurrency requirements - e.g. multiple servers, one database -

Man I love this. > Up above 10g, something really interesting happens that is kind of a theoretical limit. The mass of the rocket reaches a measurable fraction of the mass of the entire planet it's launching from.

That depends on your own standards to be honest. Here's a video from Meshuggah which is a camcorder recording of them emoting in a camper van - that's half an hour of work, a few hours of editing tops. https://www.youtu

Politics, money allocation, taxation, etc. The US had a golden age last century and is now in decline. It can still bounce back but it needs a political and legal revolution, in this particular case, it needs to tax the wealthy and spend it

There is, the article links to a source, https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-a-1-900-year-... , which you need a $5/month subscription for. I'm sure hidden in the links is a link to the paper, which

I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make here, can you elaborate?

Iron ore yes, smelting capacity, don't know, but it's literally on the other side of the world.

I mean yeah you get what you pay for. The main issue I think is false advertising; there's only so much you can do for foreign webshops, but if this were on e.g. Amazon, then Amazon should be pulled up on it (that is, huge fines so the

Their main bread and butter is components for cars and ebikes, their (power) tools / DIY stuff is like 22% of their business. Or so I learned just now.

Music piracy and copyright infringement are civil matters, the police is (...should not be?) involved.

Yeah at one point I lamented the loss of these huge and rare music libraries. Now they've been fed to the machine.

Man the amount of mistagged artists on Limewire and co. I got Blind Guardian as a bonus track to Dimmu Borgir - I'm not complaining, that song slapped, it was just a bit jarring to go to power metal at the end of my burned CD.

I'd even go as far as argue that all streaming has its origins in piracy - Spotify seeded its catalog with pirated music (allegedly), Crunchyroll started off as an anime piracy site, etc.

where I live, they light up when the self check-out needs a member of staff to do an age verification or spot check. Or I suppose when there's an error, but that's not as common.

It only works well in a "no blame" culture - just like software development should be. Sure, one person can really mess up, but there should be systems and processes in place that prevent that from happening or becoming a major is

I've done some odd jobs too; worked in an assembly plant for toilet freshener plastic things, most of the time was spent making sure the components were supplied to the machines and their workers and collecting, weighing, spot checking

I wouldn't mind getting rid of it, but all of my jobs have come through Linkedin recruiters so far. It's also in part because any job advert I've seen is either intimidating (long list of skills required that I don't hav

By all means, show us your records of finding vulnerabilities that thousands of engineers and security researchers missed over decades. Not sure what the biblical quote is about either.

Is that true or an assumption? I don't think Chrome and co would discard their decades worth of automated testing practices in favor of AI. Actually I don't need to think / assume, it's an open source project.

20 years ago was 2006, I can assure you we were very consciously aware of things being permanently connected to the internet by then. That said, sure, it had a fraction of the features back then, and only a fraction of the world population

Chromium is a three-decades-long project (origins coming from Webkit, which comes from KHTML, which was 1998) - I can assure you that does not meet the "move fast and break things" phrase you're trying to smear it with.

Can't believe that at one point Windows could do updates through a browser interface. I mean we've gone full circle and are now deploying browser interfaces as full blown applications to get around the bit where you give a browser

It depends on how good their testing practices and code review / auditing are. I want to believe they are some of the best in the industry, but that's making assumptions. But jumping to assumptions that fixes introduce bugs is a b

The registry was never an issue tbh, it's just a database that some companies decided to fearmonger about to sell you "registry cleaners". But if I'm wrong, please do point us in the direction of known issues with the re

That's the difficult part. I don't think there should be "complete" freedom, or "free speech absolutionism" - there should be no tolerance for intolerance. Opposing voices / opinions by all means.

By all means try out Minecraft, it can be fun. Dungeons is a spinoff, a superficial Diablo clone that just uses the Minecraft theme and name.
