Overkill in what way exactly? The LOC of the project shouldn't have any bearing on most people's usage of the project. SQLite is one of the well tested and mature projects in the world. What exactly would motivate someone to use P

We can thank RFK for anti-vaccine leadership leading to changes to the childhood vaccine schedule which make preventable diseases harder to stop. You can celebrate more cures all you want, but as most people know, prevention is the best med

Related question, is it at all feasible to store cache locally to offload memory costs and then send it over the wire when needed?

Care to share the link? I'd like to take a look.

I completely agree. It makes something that was already very hard that much harder. I have a friend who played guitar in a "famous band". They made it. Meaning, they played on David Letterman and went on extensive tours, had a hug

Thanks to all of you for the positive feeedback! I'm happy to hear that the project landed with you.

I can relate here. I have son, who is now 3.5 years old. I haven't had the time or energy to produce any "finished work" since he's been born, and that marks a lull after 25 years of steady output. I don't feel sad

I’ve been involved in one music project or another (bands, albums, solo projects, etc) for the past 25 years. During the pandemic, a friend and I decided to make a record together. We labored over it for almost two years and finally “releas

From that perspective, which is totally correct, it makes you wonder what other domains of knowledge look like when pushed to the boundaries of our capabilities as a species.

I personally feel that: 1) Git is fine 2) I would not want to replace critical open source tooling with something backed by investor capital from its inception. Sure, it will be “open source “, but with people throwing money behind it, ther

Thankfully, I am nearing the end of my career with software after 25 years well spent. If I had been born in a different decade, I would be facing the brunt of the AI shift, and I don’t think I would want to continue in the industry. Obviou

I'm surprised Python is on that list. TypeScript doesn't seem like a terrible choice, as it can leverage vast ecosystems of packages, has concurrency features, a solid type system, and decent performance. C++ lacks as robust of a

Yeah, didn't people used to make like $10/week as the median wage at the turn of the 20th century? I agree that we have big problems now, but I feel like this analysis is deeply flawed without the inclusion of wage data.

Actually, a past that never existed. It's pretty typically for authoritarian regimes to create idealized versions of the past as they attempt to rewrite history to better fit with their talking points and agendas.

It's a direct violation of the fourth amendment. The worst thing you can do is just accept it, as that normalizes it. This is an end-around to avoid going through judicial channels to obtain information about private citizens, full sto

I think this is already happening. Not the dollar (at least in the short-term), but the rest of the world (i.e., our allies) want off this ride.

The Epstein files identify a pretty horrific incident involving Trump and a 14 year old girl, but it doesn't seem to have changed much so far. I suppose a video would be more compelling, but of course there'd be denials saying it

Thanking them for reminding everyone to hold the GOP accountable regarding allowing Trump to return to power.

Didn’t vote for him. Doing whatever we can to get out of the situation. The United States is not a single organism. It’d be like blaming the French for Victor Orban because both countries are in Europe. Sorry for being born somewhere and so
