For the applications I use, gtk3 did not add any significant improvement over gtk2. Often it was the opposite (goodbye menubars anyone?). It seemed like all my dank gtk themes broke every time there was a minor version bump.

This makes no fucking sense. They could have just covered the old barcode with the sticker but someone had taken care to carefully cut it out. As I wrote, the whole reason I got suspicious in the first place is the scent itself was wrong. T

I bought some cologne from them and figured it was safe because the seller was posted as Amazon. Got it and the original barcode had been excised with a razor and replaced with a sticker. Scent and bottle were fake. When I wrote a dispassio

It's a problem for other communities, like Python. I read a blog post recently from a well known python dev where he talks about explicitly cultivating "fame" around his open source tools. My experience, as one who has tried

I don't think there's an easy answer. There's a story that may be relevant: a guy is standing on the beach. He's completely aflame and seems to be looking around. Another guy approaches and says "Hey! Jump in the wa

Made me think of some of my own experiences with 12-step meetings. I have seen that it's possible to share vulnerably, and to do it with dignity and grace. I've also seen first-hand what acceptance and honest sharing can do for a

ctypes is pretty slow in my experience. Cython is a nice alternative. Native speed and datatypes where you need them, plain old python anywhere else.

Not quite. I don't know what the church is nor can I speak about it's motivation. I'm speaking about the gospel. Matthew 19:23 specifically: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall har

My sense from reading was that he was upset by what he perceived to be hypocrisy on the part of the wealthy. In that they talked the talk about charity and making the world better, but their actions spoke differently. So liberal words, libe

I'm saddened that he felt compelled to resign. The Gospel advocates poverty, whether you take that in the literal sense or whether you take it to mean humility, I imagine the stark divide visible in SV would probably be pretty hard to

I love everything about this. When I started programming I had zero interest in boring cli programs. I wanted buttons and stuff. _why is one of a kind and missed.

War and Peace, Tolstoy. There are some tedious passages where Tolstoy develops a theory of history, but the realness of the characters, and their struggles to find themselves, is described better than any other book I've read. It'

I am a literature major working as a software engineer, and I agree! Humanity has a very long history of story-telling. Often stories can tell us more than rational argument, since they hook-up with our intuition (rather than logic). This i

From a quick test SQLite seems to be doing the right thing. I tested inserting single rows, multiple rows, and restricting the conflict-resolution with a WHERE clause -- the "row count" always came out correct.

Just a note: this feature is scheduled to be included in the next official release of SQLite (3.24.0). Additionally, for some time SQLite has supported INSERT OR REPLACE which offers a simpler, all-or-nothing upsert query.

This piece seems to me to be about automation more than anything else. Less people are needed to produce increasing amounts of crops, which due to surplus, are less valuable. Similar things are happening in many places and across many indus

Johnson county, in Kansas City, has crazy property valuations. Lawrence, where the university of Kansas is, similarly high. So that's not a very meaningful measure to kansans.

I read your code a couple years ago after finding your repo through a search for Redis and SQLite - what a fun project! Learned a good deal from your changes, so thanks for open-sourcing your experiment.

It's not about growth. It's about money. And to get that money, some companies/executives are OK with harming anyone that gets in the way.

Prayer and meditation. I got my meditation timer set for 12.5 minutes and bump it up every couple weeks. I've noticed huge changes in how I work and the quality of my interactions with others. Recommend it to anyone.
