The list of circumstances for WAL-mode busy errors is in the doc linked by one of the posters above. It has nothing to do with transactions.

How does busy_timeout address a performance aspect of SQLite?
33.
by rbranson 2y ago
Yeah, this almost never happens in practice. It’s not even worth being concerned about.

WAL mode makes those redundant. Just use WAL mode.
35.
by rbranson 2y ago
This is a really long blog post to just say that you should turn on the WAL if you want concurrency out of SQLite. All the other stuff is superfluous.

Yeah calling the EC2 API is definitely more complex than leasing datacenter space, purchasing racks of hardware, deploying a fault tolerant and secure network, capturing and managing offsite backups, dealing with hardware component failures

That's how risk works. The FAANG employee friends have exactly a 0% chance at a 9-figure outcome. They'll easily be at top decile if they pull a nominal $10M+ post-tax in 20 years.

The fact that New York (a city of 8M people) has only received ~150% more funding than Mountain View (a city of 81K people) tells you all you need to know about the promise here.

The reason is that runtime design forms the constraints of the GC design. Java allows relocating objects, Go does not. Go allows interior pointers, Java does not. These decisions have deep impact on GC design. Something this performance cri

While I can't vouch for Ben's time at Airplane, I worked adjacent to Ben at Segment and can say his reputation there was unimpeachable and his work was top notch, so it doesn't surprise me that he'd publish something so

Many people's biggest issue with BSL is that there are dozens of versions of the "additional use grant" which each have bespoke language with very critical clauses, none of which have any case law behind them (correct me if I

It's awfully similar to a lane of PCIe 4.0, if we're talking about instance storage. It reads like they've chosen to map each physical device to a single PCIe lane. Surely the AWS Nitro hardware platform has longer cycle time

Which SF program are you speaking of that continues to provide direct cash payments?

EBS attaches a single block storage volume to a single host[1]. S3 Express is a service-based object store. Apples and oranges. [1] Yes, I am aware of multi-attach but this introduces a scaling bottleneck and requires a fairly exotic setup.

It’s probably more accurate to say that what your brain is doing when writing code is more like emulating an LLM than an LLM is emulating your brain. Converting human language to code is an ideal task for LLMs, which is part of why they are

Given how these blog posts are typically written, it is very likely the 1.2 million QPS figure is an all-time peak, not anything like an average.

PON is what's allowed fiber deployments out for consumer affordable prices and continued scalability of endpoint bandwidth, so "stop-gap" seems a little bit of an extreme position. There are a lot of environments where just t

You're always sharing bandwidth. It's not like you have committed capacity end-to-end to every site on the Internet.

There's a bias where most of the content is produced by the most hardcore group of people. This is, of course, no different with home automation. You can do Home Assistant without making it your hobby, it's just that most of the p

Outside of a few household-name Champagne houses, most expensive wine is expensive because it is desirable and the vineyards used to produce it are tiny. Standard economics.

That is how prices work regardless of industry or product.

Fauna is really cool technology, but I'll note that it lacks interactive transactions as a core design constraint. That does enable a bunch of nice things. However, that means users lose one of the most useful parts of transactional SQ

If you're asking about secondary indexes, it was just seen as a "later" feature we'd implement as a follow-up. It was definitely asked for, just never prioritized before I moved off the project.

Peak small-window nits is not the proper Rtings metric for viewing in a bright room. It's Sustained 100%, which is only ~300 nits on the brightest, most expensive OLED panel on the market. A bright LCD panel puts out 600-800 nits here.

More important than LIRP influence is that Bay Area tech companies were incredibly successful in the decade at increasing revenues, so they could afford to pay more. Apple: $65.2B in 2010 vs $260B in 2019 Facebook: $1.97B in 2010 vs $70.9B
