Title should actually be “Why Is SQLite Coded In C”, since that’s the title of the article.

> The LLM approach is simpler For whom? The whole reason I want to consult docs is to get the official documentation on a given topic. How could I trust anything it says, and what’s to say any earned trust is durable over time?

Oh…I guess this isn’t the documentation-surfacing droids I’m looking for. I could see getting actual docs being useful. Spitting out the delusions of an LLM is pretty well covered already, at least in my stack.

Network effects and anti-competitive practices defy simple logic. Intermediate logic is unavoidable, I'm afraid.

I'm quite enthusiastic about my FreshRSS instance. I got to this article/these comments from there, and I've even worked out how to add YouTube subscription feeds, and comics. Just a straightforward, chronological list of the

I took an IEC power cable that came with a no-name broken printer my folks bought off Amazon. It was rated for the usual North American 120V/15A, but the conductors on the inside were hardly suitable. Measuring with cheap calipers, I r

This seemed like a good read for New Year's Day. It's describing a concept that appears in Byung-Chul Han's 2009 book "A Scent of Time". It explores a cyclical, contemplative worldview, contrasting with today'

I do subscribe to Nebula, where most (albeit not “all”) of the YouTube creators I follow can be found. I donate to Patreon for folks like Benn Jordan, whom I feel does work that’s important and beneficial for society. For all the rest, incl

In my experience (which is limited, personally, but I have several writers/editors/publishers in the family), writing a book is something one feels compelled to do, irregardless of financial incentives, or even tangential incentiv

Between the people with invested and/conflicting interests, and the hordes of dogmatic zealots, I find discussions about AI to be the least productive or reliably informed on HN.

Perhaps they lived outside of the kingdom, with an evil Stepmother who moved very slow, struggled with complex dependency collisions, and took up a bunch of unnecessary space? Such an experience could leave one very traumatized towards Cond

Weird how “hugging face” is a heartwarming little smiley face, while “face hugger” is a terrifying alien xenomorph. Seems like there’s an analogy to be made there…

I bought a 2013 Passat TDI, one of the dieselgate models, after they completed the recall repairs. I thought I was getting a great deal at the time. Unfortunately, the “fix” seemed to cause some other issues, at least in my case. I religiou
