I just typed the wrong thing, fullstop. I meant to say server keys; fixed now. Also, I agree that TOFU in its own is certainly worse than having robust verification via the CA system. OTOH, SSH-style TOFU has some advantages over the CA sys

I mean, we do TOFU for SSH server keys* and nobody really seems to bat an eye at that. Today if you want "insecure but encrypted" on the web the main way to go is self-signed which is both more annoying and less secure than TOFU f

Makes me wonder if 10 mSv all at once is worse than 10 mSv over the course of a year. It seems that airline crews are only expected to be exposed to a dose from between 2 to 9 mSv annually[1], which makes a abdominal CT scan with contrast s

Stuff like this hits me in my health anxiety pretty bad, even if I know deep down that there's no point, on an individual scale, in worrying about this sort of thing; it's more of interest to clinicians for decision making. Still.

I hated Twitter before and after the acquisition, for a number of reasons. The last time I really liked Twitter was probably 2015. It's hard to qualify everything that was wrong with Twitter, but it'll probably be somewhat oversha

Mine is in TypeScript and for the purpose of parsing a file that happens to use sqlite, so I don't think I'll bother parsing the CREATE TABLE schema unless I have to. It's not currently posted anywhere but will be open source

Maybe it actually can be alright for a niche as relatively large as hiking, but I think it has done some real damage to smaller niches, which seem to struggle to maintain active forums.

That'd be more than fine with me, except the small internet competes for attention with the rest of the internet and gets slaughtered by their attention-sucking applications with shiny animations, spammy push notifications, gamificatio

Personally, I always liked things that never had an "acquire users" phase, or VC funding, but those things are less shiny (and frankly, less user-friendly.)

Well in most cases you just ate your competition, so there's not a whole lot to care about. The hardest part of competing with encumbants, especially when it comes to stuff like social media and IM, is acquiring users, due to those cov

I'd kill for a chilling effect on acquisitions. Every single fucking time something I like gets acquired, it takes anywhere between a few months to a couple years before it is completely ruined. Maybe if we're lucky, Microsoft wil

If you want to maintain the properties that SQLite has for read use cases, you'll need to replicate a couple of features. At the very least, you'll probably want the format to still be page-based with a BTree structure. You really

AFAICT it's purely frontend, there is no uploading. Aside from running it yourself, another thing you can do is go into devtools and set the network throttling to "offline". (Note that this is not fool-proof, but it does prev

This really would've come in handy when I was debugging my own SQLite parser a couple weeks ago. One thing that initially confused me was how exactly the pages worked w.r.t. the first page on disk... I misunderstood the SQLite document

Do you have some sort of binfmt_misc setup for Windows/.NET executables? You might be able to get it to work by running `sh ./zork1` instead.

The most common mistake you'll get here is people running tests, then making a small change later, then having tests fail unexpectedly. Even accidentally. This has happened to me before with regular CI, and often hit me during an autom

This usually happens because you have a Linux setup that doesn't use systemd-resolved and it also doesn't have myhostname early enough in the list of name resolvers. Not sure how many Linux systems default to this, but if you want

Yeah, I've been using localhost domains on Linux for a while. Even on machines without systemd-resolved, you can still usually use them if you have the myhostname module in your NSS DNS module list. https://www.man7.org&#x2F
