This is absurd. Most of, if not all, code that was released today was written by Google. Then can release it, or not release it, regardless of license. Android was never a community project with outside contributions. The license does not l

I thought this was mostly about what kind of chargers are in there. But since the paper is not available, I guess we don't even know that. I guess an open question (at least for me) is whether, in an urban setting, it's better to

Eventually, we'll have to either decide to get serious about not burning fossils, or not. If we do become serious about it, there's no reason internal flights that can easily be replaced by slower rail today , shouldn't be p

They mixed up the numbers for residential solar (Solar King) and agriculture solar (SunCulture). The $100 down + $65/mo is for agriculture. (not that the numbers are correct or make sense)

ppi pixels ≠ dpi dots You don't need 1200ppi for a nice 1200dpi print; even 300ppi may be enough.

SQLite, for the most part, uses polling locks. That means it checks if a lock is available to be taken, and if it's not, it sleeps for a bit, then checks again, until this times out. This becomes increasingly inefficient as contention

For most of human existence, life expectancy at birth was dominated by half of all kids not reaching puberty, and a quarter of all infants not making it through their first year.

A 20 year retirement on the back of 35 years of working means dying before you're 80? Given current life expectancy, and particularly if you find a life partner, the chances of at least one of you surviving through at least 85 are pret

Right. It's fine to a point, if it's too much, it gets tedious.

No, not at all. A simple test I've seen mentioned is, ask someone this: “imagine a car, a fast car, zipping through a windy road… ok? (pause) now, what color was the car you saw?” If you even need to think about it, you hadn't

That's not a port. That's an extremely impressive machine translation of C to Go. The output is a non-portable half-a-million LoC Go file for each platform.

To clarify, SQLite does this for local databases in WAL mode, that's what the shared memory WAL index file is for: it allows multiple processes to cooperate and figure out which pages changed since when, which also helps SQLite manage

SQLite directly against S3 is workable if you mean querying a read-only database. For example, from Go, you could use my driver, and point it to a database file stored in S3 using this: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ncr

The idea behind Litestream is that you have a “primary” which has the SQLite database on a local disk, and you use Litestream to replicate it asynchronously to (e.g.) object storage. What's in object storage is not an SQLite file, but

CRDTs only care that the end result is eventually the same. It doesn't need to make sense, or be the most recent change, only that given the same inputs, everyone independently agrees on the same output.
