I'm still soyfacing over sqlite and how elegant and powerful it is, and I'll continue deciding software architecture based on random blog posts. I have learned nothing.

Funny this article would pop up for me today, as I'm currently migrating my web app from sqlite to mysql. I got jazzed up on articles like this, only to figure out the hard way that it's ill-suited to apps where concurrency matter

The close relationship between the left in America and Canada is not cause for alarm, though. That's totally fine. How separate are political factions going to be between two countries with a shared language, shared history, and the lo

For generations, the elites have been obnoxiously discouraging family formation and fertility on account of malthusian pseudoscience. Now they're recognizing the error but it's too late for the billions who will live and die alone
