>SQLite is great for storing application state and config options set from within the app, but it is a pretty terrible format for end users to edit. I think you are conflating the file with the workflow. A proper UI is the solution to ma

Fundamentally they need a tabular data store. Most everything else is a nice to have/usability point. SQLite is also an auto contained file. There are similar tabular GUI tools that could let you interact with sqlite using a similar wo

I don't see the point, all this software is meant to run on *nix. Also OpenSCAD sucks. I tried it, made a few things, it's objectively a worse way to do parametric modeling and lacks some really basic features like fillets. FreeCA

That's just begging to be an actual database. Imagine if you said everything with SQLite instead of Excel, and all of a sudden your just talking about structured config in a database. Not new, not crazy, and generally a decent practice

Like how folks now pronounce "forte" as "for-tay" when it's pronounced "fort" as it's originally a French word.

As someone "indoctrinated" with capitalism, your take on modern/policy MMT which is more of a blend than the older academic visions aligns with my understanding and advocacy.

I'd be cautious using language that groups so many types of chemical inputs under a single umbrella despite the gulf between them.

If you are parsing a big thing of text, there is no opportunity for your thread to pause the CPU and say "ok other threads, I have to wait on some external data" and then hand over the CPU resources. But if you are trying to make

by btreecat 3y ago
You don't use IO/make any external calls when you are parsing, or doing date time, so they don't have an opportunity to "cooperate" by letting another thread execute while they wait for the IO to finish.

>If the eyestrain persists, see an eye-care health professional who can perform a thorough examination of your eye health, Downie said. “Sometimes eyestrain can be actually caused by an underlying eye health or vision problem,” she said.

As someone who ran their own UAS company, realtors are the literal worst. No other industry is so cool with hiring uninsured, unlicensed, and under skilled individuals because they don't want to spend more than $50 total, including you

I understand your dislike of the default workflow for Firefox profiles. Fortunately you can launch them from the CLI, so I usually creat an alias to my alt profiles then launch the browser from the shell.

Great, so we just gotta "ship your bare OS" to prod. That's exactly what a container is for. Container is just a logical isolation tool that works at the distribution/deployment level.

I think the point is "system container" is a marketing term, not a technical term.

I still don't see the technical difference, and lxc/lxd doesn't seem to provide one.
