I think you've taken the most cynical view possible. SQLite is open source but not open contribution. So if they "won't do it for us" and "we need it", what else are they supposed to do? They're offering S

These graphs only include stable releases, not nightly ones. Since the multi-threaded frontend hasn't landed on stable yet, we can't see it's effect on these graphs.

A company that works with SQLite and prefers to write Rust has the expertise needed to rewrite SQLite in Rust. That’s what they’re doing. All the other C code could be rewritten, this doesn’t stop or slow down any such effort. But for sure

I'm usually a rule follower, but this is a rule that I choose not to follow. I have a couple of reasons: - I've spent effort on this, and I want the repository to work in future. I want to be able to clone it and run all the code

I wouldn’t take it too seriously. It’s just a HN opinion that always gets upvoted because it’s the right intersection of anti-Big Tech, pro-environment and not wanting to change your own workflow ( https://xkcd.com/1172/

Take a look at my repo - http://github.com/nindalf/advent-2024 Each day is a new module, this way I don't have to think of new names for part1() and part2(). I can still import code from the rest of the crate if I

“Concepts of a plan” is often enough to make people think you know what you’re doing. Think most people, here included, got the impression that they had succeeded already.

The master branch of the Rust repo is built every night and distributed. That's a nightly build. Most people are on the stable release, which is updated every six weeks. A minority use the nightly build for various reasons: a feature t

I think no one, from any country, has any sympathy for scammers. FWIW, Indians suffer plenty from the same scammers because it's possible to target Indians much more easily. You don't need to figure out international payments, acc

Yeah I thought we have a universal consensus that we never make fun of the way people speak English because they’re trying their best in a second or third language. And they’re doing that despite the challenges you point out. If someone doe

“Are you aware” - are you aware that you sound condescending or did you do that deliberately? “Condemn it” - but I didn’t condemn it? I was just pointing it out. You assumed I made a value judgment when I didn’t. “Good work requires effort”

The way it’s phrased matters. Bad, because it implies that corruption exists: How much corruption is there in the Booker prizes? Better, because it comes from a place of curiosity: What do folks think about the Booker Prize? Is the nominati

Dude really doesn’t like Indians huh. I can see why these racists come to the conclusion that all Indians speak a certain way. If they see something written with a few quirks common to Indian English they confirm their bias that all Indians

I think simplistic and reductive views is what people are capable of adopting unless they really make an effort and invest time in understanding. Most of the time most people will take the simplistic view.

Here’s what I understand from your comment, correct me if I’m wrong. You’re saying there is a runtime cost associated with a mutex/rwlock owning the data. And secondly, you think it isn’t possible to implement this pattern in other are

It really isn't. The author knows nothing about law, trademark law or anything else. They're speculating wildly to drum up drama.

by nindalf 2y ago
Not only is the author not a lawyer, they freely admitted on reddit that they don't understand legalese or trademark law well. Unfortunately they've succeeded in convincing people there is an issue here when there is no issue.
