SQLite database connection objects are not "just file descriptors" and with the default serialization build they are appropriately locked to allow multi-threaded use. In that sense, they are magic. https://www.sqlite.or

Like a CPU ISA, the WASM abstract machine doesn't have a concept of strings or encoding. It's just bytes in a linear memory. You implement whatever encoding you want. WASM specifies UTF-8 for the encoding of names in its file form

In theory, the language might be a decent fit. But it’s not the language (mostly), it’s the library and ecosystem. Definitely not enough to unseat C++ yet for many new projects.

Yes that's exactly how it works in serialized build/mode. Are you sure not ultimately compiling with -DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=0 or 2? Also the serialized setting is distinct from the isolation level. sqlite has a famously extensive tes

The particulars of using SQLite are clearly documented: https://www.sqlite.org/threadsafe.html You must use serialized mode or provide your own concurrency control.

Life is too short to deal with such brokenness then. Seriously, those jobs typically don't pay more than peanuts anyhow.

When I mentioned not terribly common I was speaking specifically of GFCI breakers in the breaker panel box as opposed to GFCI in the receptacle. Even in a retrofit or remodel it isn't common to put GFCI in the panel box for the reasons

Not sure why you're so triggered. I didn't even say you were wrong or anything. I originally thought the more pressing issue is filling half a table up with 0s. It's some idle commentary on a piece of code in a comment, relax

Fair enough (though a Unisys 2200 might be a stronger example, people still use them, but neither support C99 AFAIK). But by “break” here, it's only fair to point out, if such a compiler even existed, it would have the property of defi

In fact in the US, especially residential, GFCI circuit breakers are not terribly common for 120V circuits, people much prefer and are used to having the GFCI in the outlet, which can of course protect multiple conventional outlets downstre

You missed the sarcasm. If all can exist together, which one is the “native” one? If the answer is all of the above, then the consistency argument for native doesn’t hold much water.
