Exactly. My kid has a smartphone but no data plan; no social media; can't take it to school. When I did that, I was the annoying one, who they fought every inch of the way. When the school banned phones in the playground, I was suddenl

They are more expensive. Because the lock-in isn't as tight. I still like them because, ironically, for sporadic printing, they're more resilient than many ink cartridges. So far, I haven't experienced any clogging (dried up

I pretty much agree with this. We were able to go back to one TV in the house (at least I was), and even avoid a big chunk of the ads when watching TV (by paying for Netflix/etc) and even radio (Spotify/etc). Except we now we put

Which is how lots of great things start. But I guess now that it's done, the comparison is obvious, and as a wazero maintainer, I wanted to know what we could learn from your experience.

by ncruces 11mo ago
Yes. You need some syscalls and unsafe, but it's possible. wazero does this, on amd64 and arm64: https://github.com/wazero/wazero You can read more about the approach - from the creator - here: https://

The promise is backwards compatibility in the file format and C API until 2050. https://sqlite.org/lts.html

Started as fun "what if" side project, but kept me interested for 3 years now. Turns out it's actually useful. It's pretty portable: with some caveats, it works pretty much everywhere Go does. Performance is bad outside

So far, seems interpreter only, lots simpler, etc. I'd be interested to understand the goal behind it better.

> I -think- SQLite with WAL falls under this No. SQLite is serializable. There's no configuration where you'd get read committed or repeatable read. In WAL mode you may read stale data (depending on how you define stale data)

Someone already covered the difference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45703926#45703995 Mad props to them for picking up my joke and turning it into a recurring donation.

Big tech would be far more interested in slurping data than DDoS'ing them. An issue with comments, linked to a PR with review comments, the commit stack implementing the feature, and further commits addressing comments is probably valu

And certainly, in 1945 (80 years ago), people would've made due with fewer cars in those areas. This idea that increased consumption over the past century has been irrelevant to quality of life is just absurd.

If it was a company, you'd say the CoC is meant for lackeys, not for C-suites.

Tapping the share button (on mobile) instead of copying the link always used the non-mobile address, AFAICT.

That's not true on a major avenue that serves 10 different routes, which combined have a frequency of one every couple of minutes. Also, it doesn't help to make bus stops more spaced, and you may not want a bunch of express routes

by ncruces 11mo ago
Basically free is not free. The point of buses is to replace cars, not short walks. If you make it so that everybody who could walk 5min takes a bus, the bus will have to stop more often - and for longer - which makes it worse for the peop

I don't think SqliteMultipleCiphers can be built into a runtime loadable extension (and the Turso thing is just a copy of it). I'm confident that a scheme based on tweakable block cyphers (like Adiantum or AES XTS) could be made i

More important, IMO, are the non-local effects of using CGO (vs. eg. Go asm), and which are harder to understand.

Keyword: little . Dependencies need to pull their own weight. Shifting responsibilities is a risk that the value added needs to offset.

by ncruces 11mo ago
It's a cultural thing. And libraries try harder not to have absurd dependencies, than finished products (correctly, IMO).
