I also like it when systems go bang spectacularly on a failure, vs silently allowing it. But, related to the Posix thing about reusing fd's, I just ran into this a couple of days ago and it took me 6 hours to figure out. I made a chang

But because exceptions bubble up the stack frame, there can be no missing checks. I'm not suggesting things be coded as: try: do something except Exception, err: pass If a piece of code is has a try/except, the

I haven't used Go or Rust seriously, but have written some Go toy code. This part of your post struck a nerve with me. I modified it slightly, to relate to Go's error handling, for me at least: > often it's not worth tak

Also SEE (SQLite Encryption Edition) from the SQLite developers - a flat fee for a perpetual license. I bought it 13 years ago for HashBackup, works great, never had a problem. https://sqlite.org/com/see.html

Completely agree. I don't use Twitter, but in a previous life, hosted a public bulletin board while at a company. We made everything public and told people there is a policy of not modifying or deleting anything, so please re-read ev

I've used SQLite with HashBackup for 13 years and it's been awesome. A lot of the stories I read about "data corruption" with SQLite are, IMO, really about faulty applications that do database commits with the data in a

This is similar to the recent Yale scandal, where an employee authorized to spend $10K without approval actually spent $40M on laptops. These schools must have terrible (or no) accounting controls. I worked at a secondary school district,

I had a problem with this for 3 years after getting shingles. My immune system is not right. Went to many doctors, took a probiotic every day, etc. Still had diarrhea, but just once or twice a day. I went to Mayo Clinic and they suggeste

I didn't read the story but from the comments it is actually about the decline in local news. IMO, the decline in local news started when the local channels started sending local reporters to cover national news stories: a hurricane in

True for all gambling IMO. I went to Vegas once for a business conference, first time there. I got some quarters, put them all in a slot machine, and was bored out of my mind. I would much rather have just handed someone the cash and lef

IMO, one factor is that women are still the ones to bear children, and legislation, diversity guidelines, and complete elimination of prejudice aren't going to change that. Several women I know have said that after having children, th
