The question I'm more interested in is: what advantages does this provide vs creating my own document style schema in SQLite. Using the JSON1 extension to SQLite, you can even query inside of JSON blobs.

Genuine question: what are you advocating should be done? Give up on privacy? Or something else?

I think you have to give up on the idea that you can fix ALL bugs all the time. But I don't think we need to be defeatist. Each layer of tests is an improvement. The benefits of unit testing, integration testing, comparison testing,

Their discussion of Rust's error handling is woefully incomplete. They seem to think that the only thing that exists is the ? operator, which will return your error early, or a match statement, which is verbose. It misses some import

The last sentence before the conclusion is > We have to admit that, if there are too many numbers that fall into the tail intervals, the Machine Learning Sort might fail. It's interesting to have a sorting algorithm with a worst cas

Rust decided for overflows to cause panics in debug mode, but continue normally in release mode. They have special function calls for the few times that you actually WANT overflow. This seemed to he the only good option. It allows the pr

I'm not a physicist, but my understanding is that exotic matter isn't strictly required. They say that because what's needed is a sort of negative energy/mass to cause an anti-gravity effect. But even that isn't a

Your sqlite package totally fits my needs. My biggest problem is that I hate the database/sql layer. Connection pooling is completely unnecessary and surprising in a sqlite context. I honestly have no idea how anyone is using it wit

Just today, I finished writing my own low level go sqlite driver. I haven't published it yet. I really thought there was a need for it. I hate the database/sql integration that the other drivers have. Now I'll have to see i

In the 90s my brother almost won a car. It was legit because he was part of the 10 finalists and the news media was there. They all drew keys out of a bag and tried to start the car until one of them started it. The key he drew didn&#x27

This is just not the direction I would have gone to explain why we're all so self absorbed. I wouldn't think the focus on kids having self esteem would affect very much at all. The way I look at it, we're social creatures, m

When an encryption algorithm is no longer secure, it gets phased out and any protocol that uses that algorithm eventually gets denied. Can someone explain why older protocols like 2g with inadequate encryption can't be phased out? Or

I'm the maker of gxi, a gtk frontend for xi written in rust. I wouldn't recommend trying it yet, it's still in heavy development, but I've been making some good strides lately. I've had good experiences so far wit

That's a legitimate question that someone should try to answer. But to be honest, I don't care. We live in a world where margerine was touted for decades to prevent heart disease. The fact of the matter is that even if we can fin

The first thing I always do is immediately make a function "main2" and make main an error handling function. It'll be nice to not have to do that.

Can we ignore for a second what the proper behavior should be, and instead focus on the documentation. In my opinion, even a careful reading of the fsync man page does not cover what exactly happens if you close an fd, reopen the file in an

You think the probability that someone on the planet has a sensitivity to a certain food/molecule is about the same as there being a teapot orbiting Mars? Everything a person consumes has a vast variety of effects in different people.

I'm not trying to raise concerns. And actually, I agree with everything that you said. There is obviously a lot of misinformation and most of people's reactions and stories are factually incorrect and part of a fad. We can say

I just checked the ingredients on my organic Costco chicken stock. The ingredients do not contain MSG. I found a website that asked Costco about their "natural flavors" and got a response that it does not contain soy, or dairy,

I just wonder if the advantages you're talking about have anything to do with the functional nature of the language or not. Maybe an imperative language with a strong type system and without exceptions would have the same effect? Mayb

It's a story about RackShack, which was renamed to Ev1Servers. Interestingly, I heard a rumour that the real reason for then renaming the business was because of a court case with RackSpace who said the name was confusing similar. But
