In sqlite the on-disk file format does not matter. All that matters is that you should be able to issue sql to the sqlite embedded library and get back the results. Freeing you from the overhead of owning (thus inventing and then maintainin

Yes, but I bet your code cannot reveal its own spaghetti:-) Excel has long had an option to display 'precedent' and 'dependent' cells. You can actually see the spaghetti right there. https://support.microsoft.

This is so true. A cross platform Access-like front-end that used sqlite as the data storage engine would conqueror large parts the territory.

This, or variations, can happen with every kind of backend. The only way to avoid to have the server open only to you till everything is tied down right and the backend is ready to face the world. To rely upon being quicker on the draw than

VISA does 500m+ transactions per day and Spanner does 1B queries per day, but it's quite unlikely that what a transaction means on VISA is the same as what a query means on Spanner.

That's HTML emails _pretending_ to be plain text. Meaning the 'plain' text is Html-formatted to look plain and there are tracker links and probably tracking pixels too. Real plain text should be just like something a human be

If one just rewrites that headline as 'Google does little to reduce its own revenue' it all becomes much clearer.

100%. Same here. There's a lot of baby in the processes, not just bathwater. As a longstanding PG dev/DBA who doesn't know much about its internals, I would say that they should just move connection pooling into the main prod

If anyone from reddit corporate is reading this, ignore every carping user and stay laser-focused on that IPO. Being well-liked and poor is waaay worse than being rich and hated. Stay strong

America's war goal is war. If Ukraine 'won' quickly, the next war may not be easy to find quickly. Better for everyone to keep this one going as long as possible.

Let's respect the meaning of the word 'actual.' Amend that to 'An actual look at what a CBC news report said that it looks like from a real patient.'

Yeah well the satire would have worked better if it were buried, although the real joke is 'minor caveat'.

This para, buried deep in the paper, is the point: A minor caveat to our findings is that the rate of the primary outcome was substantially lower in this study than was anticipated at the time of its conception and design, which potentially

Edits might be for sale for things that matter to companies. Every Public Relations agency claims to 'manage' the content on clients' Wikipedia pages.

This paper is not about grabbing most of the market etc and eventually making a profit. As the abstract quoted above says, it's about creating an illusion that this can be done so as to sell stock to a greater fool. Uber was quite succ

Agree 100%. Alphonsos are HUGELY over-rated and that's actually a common opinion in India. I feel they're basically fake mangoes meant for exporting at high prices to foreigners who have no clue what a mango should actually taste

Yeah for questions like this ChatGPT sounds like someone who's being paid by the word. Always says 200 words where 30 would suffice.

There is nothing of news interest here except the WSJ doing the story. The story itself is the only real story. Who got this story done? What is the goal? Who is being thrown under the bus and who isn't? Is it anticipatory misdirection

Yeah no one will bother with such a low-powered device. I used an in-car bluetooth-to-FM tranmitter bought from Amazon India for years. They've been sold openly since forever. Like this one: https://www.amazon.in/Portro

100%. Exaggerating the bigness of their own data is a common phenomena. Sometimes one is talking to a group of developers who are all so impressed with this bigness but every one of them has a phone in their pocket which could fit their ent

Privatisation has nothing to offer if there is no competition. If there is no competition possible--and there are so many other situations apart from airport security--then a publicly owned provider is better. There _are_ some things that a

True. It's a false idea that privatisation improves anything. Most private good and services are better because of competition, not because of the ownership. If privatisation means opening up a line of business to all comers, it's

A column in the database identifying which 'queue' is all you need for that. The table is not a queue, it's a structure to store queues.

Most of all, it's about the attitude that the tone of the conversation reveals. Also, the behaviour of this very lot at the time, as was revealed later. They're mocking people, enjoying the absolute power that they have gained.

100%. People are being fooled by the word Exchange. It makes them think that this is the same category as NYSE or NASDAQ. Exchange should be a sort of a reserved word, like bank.

The liquidity of anyone's stock holding depends entirely on how much one holds compared to how much is routinely traded on the markets. If I own 0.01 percent of any heavily-traded stock, it's 100% liquid. I can sell it whenever I

Yeah but you should count the legal expenses for parsing the Terms & Conditions :-) This is Oracle. You weren't thinking of agreeing to to the T&Cs without understanding what they actually mean, were you?

This is a complete fabrication. Aadhaar verification via biometrics was permitted for all financial, telecom and other services simultaneously. I got fingerprinted for an Airtel SIM and a Kotak Bank account first and Jio much later.
