If they didn't want to get caught, don't do that in public, cameras or no cameras. Could've been 20 years ago in a concert and they bump into someone who knows them while hugging. So what's different here? That people on

Thank you! I had searched GitHub by a relevant snippet of code described in the blog and found that one. I guess they merged those changes?

I couldn't find the link in that page, but the fork is here, and seems to be up-to-date: https://github.com/GerHobbelt/re2 If you need that from Go, you can probably use that to create a fork of this: https:&#x2F

Writers won't queue up, rather they'll storm the place, taking turns at asking “can I go now” and sleeping for (tens, hundreds of) milliseconds at a time. This only gets “worse” as computers get faster: imagine how many write tran

No idea if it applies, but one way would be to direct all writes (including any transaction that may eventually write) to a single connection. Then writers queue up, while readers are unimpeded.

It's well scoped, but not short lived; it's an SQLite connection. But the API surface is huge, with 100s of methods on the connection and derived objects, with it being unclear which might block and be worthy of asynchronous cance

You can take that view, yes. But if you store your context in a struct (which is not the recommend “best practice” – but which you can do) it's no longer a function coloring issue. I do that in on of my libraries and I feel that it&#x2

The other day someone was gloating they'd created a 30k LoC code base in a few weeks with a similar setup. I'd consider that a liability, not an asset, but they were pretty happy with it.

It's one thing to say that: - an LLM can help you write a boilerplate `if (err != nil) { return fmt.Errorf(...) }` that actually matches the conventions for code base you're in; - your IDE can "hide" those additional lin

I know. Now see how far JSON got them. So why wouldn't you just use a text format to persist a personal website a handful of people might use? I created one of the SQLite drivers, but why would you bring in a dependency that might not

For modernc you gave the correct link. For the wazero based driver, it's this package (I'm the author): https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3

The standard lib has pbkdf2 though. I'm guessing the goal is that the file can be managed more easily with a text editor and some shell utils.

No dependencies apart from the standard library is my guess.

I use unicode for math in comments, and think makes certain complicated formulas far more readable.

If it's possible that it's stuff that's being used at initialization time, wasm-ctor-eval might help. Also, you probably want to build a reactor (-mexec-model=reactor) if that's not what you're already doing. A comm

The correct integer type to use to store pointers (the only one specified to actually work) is uintptr_t, not size_t.
