This has been going on for a long time and affects Western nations just as much as what's happening in Ukraine. Remember all those Strava (and other) fitness/running heatmaps from US/UK bases in Iraq/Afghanistan back in

What is the relevance of this to SQLite's diff tool?

SQLite is the answer.

Yes. And probably the best characteristic of SQLite in production is its (albeit accidental or implied) story around Dev/Ops. A whole category of problems just goes away.

Check again - the ambassador status was granted last year. The genuine best efforts spanned from 2017-ish (negotiations didn't start in 2016 after the vote) to 2019. It took a while for the UK to realise the EU no longer wanted to be f

Exactly. The last couple years has really let the mask slip on what the EU stands for and they've made it expressly clear how they intend to treat the UK going forward - despite the UK's best efforts to forge a genuinely strong re

Pretty cool that the weapon itself is partly made from the same black polystyrene as the packaging.

Question count on SO doesn't necessarily correlate with popularity. It might correlate with poor documentation, high bug counts, low API discoverability, higher usage in "sweat shop" contract houses.

Cloudflare and Azure have a "Bandwidth Alliance" peering which - if you correctly set up your Azure resources to use "Internet Routing" - will result in a modest discount. It is a bit of a scam though as it is marketed a

One wonders how Cloudflare can essentially absorb all bandwidth costs. But AWS and Azure are using them as a profit center.

So you've moved the IF statement that was checking the logging level from the program code into the JIT. Great. No saving. (And I doubt it actually does this - as it's not gaining anything)

These are completely normal and typical immigration visa rules the world over. As always though - there are "better" visa's available but they have different sets of requirements and/or costs involved.

That's your take. Business' take is that they are more than willing to invest the time to find nuanced subtle differences between countries regulatory environments so that they can exploit them for monetary gain. The UK REACH and

Two questions: Why would copy-pasted (from EU REACH) "UK REACH" regulations present more of a burden to the semiconductor industry than EU REACH? What NTBs exist that are known to affect the semiconductor industry?

"No one (apart from Brexiters) cares that much about tariffs. EU tariffs are some of the lowest in the world - the average applied tariff for imports into the EU in 2019 was just 1.88%. Compare that to 6% for India or 13% for the US.&q

Dial down your tone - it is unwarranted. Rules and red tape was exactly my point. Why would TSMC choose to run that gauntlet willingly and potentially fall foul of the same hurdles that Tesla has encountered? One of the big problems Tesla h

The UK isn't even manning its customs posts for imports from the EU at present. And there is no tariffs on the vast majority of exports to the EU - and certainly not on semiconductors. FDI in 2020 was almost identical to France (albeit

I find it surprising that they are choosing Germany - after everybody is seeing what Germany is doing to Tesla's Gigafactory there (embroiling it in so much red tape that Elon wishes he could pull out if it weren't for sunk cost).

"But by that point I was so drawn in that I didn’t care and was just enjoying the ride." :-) There a high amount of SQLite content/articles/blogs on the web that can provide this effect. SQLite is to programmers like the

Sort of. Access had a "Forms" feature that let you create basic GUIs on top of your database. Also, the OP's project is (currently) only providing a read-only view of the SQLite database. Adding write support is possible but

Generally yes. Because not having range support means you can't resume file downloads. Which is a pretty essential feature for a static file host.

This isn't an error code from SQLite. Usually ECONNRESET is related to a TCP/IP connection.
