Yeah, in Portugal the highway operator would be liable for that accident. They'd be liable if even if it was road kill, as they're responsible for ensuring big animals don't go into roads.

Me too. There's only so much time in life. I'd take it for a spin if someone else did it. :)

I try to stick to GitHub for GitHub CI downloads. E.g. my SQLite project downloads code from the GitHub mirror rather than Fossil.

It's great that you did that due diligence once. It really is. If I were reviewing that merge request, and you told me that, I'd be inclined to approve. But how do we scale that to 1000 dependencies, and every one of their updates

Right. Allowing 500 strangers to push code to our CI infra, or developer laptops, with approximately zero review, sounds similarly ill advised. That JLR got their factories hacked, rather than customer cars , is less bad for sure. But it

Just the other day someone argued with me that it was reasonable for Limbo (the SQLite Rust rewrite) to have 3135 dependencies (of those, 1313 Rust dependencies). https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/network&#x2F

This is a culture issue with developers who find it OK to have hundreds of (transitive) dependencies, and then follow processes that, for all intents and purposes, blindly auto update them, thereby giving hundreds of third-parties access to

Politicians around the world do it on purpose because they know they can more easily get away with leaving no trace. It's not an accident they don't use government email/IM and use WhatsApp/Signal instead. But then the

Yes. It acts exactly like WAL mode in that regard. Readers operate on a snapshot and are never blocked, writers block each other. Upgrading a reader to a writer fails immediately if there is a concurrent writer, however BEGIN IMMEDIATE tran

The way they got multi-writer working is a bit too adventurous for me. It involves fiddling the database header to ensure you can keep track of the read-set from the VFS layer, by convincing SQLite to drop its page cache at the start of eve

That has its own downsides, though. Both v1 packages continue work; both are maintained. They get security updates, and were both improved by implementing them on top of v2 to the extent possible without breaking their respective APIs. More

The latency on those requests matters, though. You'll probably benefit from using the largest possible page size; also, keep alive; etc. But even then, you'll pull at most 64 KiB per request. If you managed to have response times

In Wasm you can read/write whatever to address zero of linear memory. It's still UB as far as clang is concerned so you C code can do whatever. But it won't “crash” on the spot.

In Go, a database/sql “connection” is actually a pool, and Go makes sure that it only calls driver methods serially for an actual driver connection from a single goroutine. So your point (which is not very clear to me, with my limited

To do this, it's best if the user opens two pools themselves. I've tried to create something that does this transparently (give you a pool that magically routes writes to a single connection), but it's hard. It starts simple:
