Java's exceptions are also visible in the signature, and harder to ignore. I actually like Go's solution better, because it's verbose, because the fact that I pay the cost of "if err != nil" every effin time, I&#x

No, that's not how it works, and yes you're speculating. These companies outsourced these services to highly efficient call centers, powered by software designed by these tech bros. The people working there are incentivized to up

Everyone does. This is another step towards that. The top comment says Google has been stop-and-go about this. Well the tech was never there to do it. But they never really stopped playing with the idea. Since 2013.

Once you compile your Typescript to Javascript, Javascript runtimes can run it, Javascript code can call it, etc. Even source maps work. Once you start using libSQL features, SQLite tools will simply stop working with your databases. That m

My builds of SQLite do enable foreign keys by default. This is easy to do for any project using the amalgamation.

That's a non solution for existing code that already calls GetPixel 20 million times. It's not like I'm saying C is the best possible way to write new code. I'm just commenting why this matters for performance, and “remo

Imagine that you created a function GetPixel that reads an RGB pixel at a memory address, and which has a NULL check as a precondition. If the compiler can "prove" that the pointer is not NULL it can (after inlining the call) remo

Then build with SQLITE_DEFAULT_FOREIGN_KEYS=1 to make it opt-out (and to opt-out you'd need to inject SQL). As for STRICT: if you make your tables STRICT, there's no opt-out. So why is this an issue? Do you want them to break the

If that was the case, they wouldn't introduce cross incompatibilities in the changes they made (or would at least discuss compatibility in the docs), and they'd make any added features useful to others by properly documenting them

If you "intend to get rid of some of the baggage" you won't be fully compatible. libSQL already isn't fully compatible: as soon as you add a RANDOM ROWID table, you get "malformed database schema" when using th

Large chunks of the test suite are open source, committed to the repo and easy to run with a `make test`. Everytime a bug is reported in the forums, the open source tests are updated as part of the bug fix for everyone to see. There's

All this talk of “SQLite is not open contribution” never seems to consider that a project being “open contribution” doesn't mean the maintainers will accept your contributions. They have a process for contributions to follow: you sugge

The kinds that keep file format compatibility? Or are they claiming they will support MVCC with full file format and interprocess synchronization compatibility.

I don't want to handle errors after every division and division doesn't crash, both sound rather practical, though.

You can do it “in place” as the target can be the same as the source. And you can definitely resize it, both truncate it and extend it. The only restriction, really, is that all parts except for the last one need to be at least 5MiB. GCS co

You can? You create a multi-part with 3 chunks: the 1st part is a copy range of the prefix, the 2nd part the bit you want to change, and the 3rd a copy range of the suffix? And yes, all of this is useless for heavy (and esp. concurrent) wri

S3 can at least do a multi-part upload, where any given part is a copy of a range of an existent object. Then you can finish the upload overwriting the previous object. GCS, unfortunately, does not support copying a range. OTOH, it has long

Both this and read-after-write consistency is single object. So coordinating writes to multiple objects still requires… creativity.

Who's the bigger troll? Putting up the initial challenge, especially with the accompanying commentary, is just as much trolling as that.

Some time ago I tried to come up with something that worked with pen and pencil, even if it used backup tables or something, to make a board game that would explain the concept to kids. I wasn't very successful, and eventually gave up.

A lot of CV that used to be analytical (and benchmarked for metrics on synthetic data) is being replaced by train model on synthetic data to give answer.
