Everytime I try to use SQLite I run into db locking issues where I seemingly have to try to run my query in a retry loop. Am I doing something wrong or does SQLite just not play nice in multi threaded contexts?

My brother is a dentist and he says the main drawback of SDF is that it looks bad. It indeed stops the decay but turns the tooth (or part of the tooth) black.

...why not just have a nuclear reactor to provide an infinite heat source? Submarines at the bottom of ocean have more shower time than south pole stations.

Yeah but the point of "serverside rendering" is that you can just fill in the dynamic values serverside and serve plain html instead of needing a bunch of javascript and dom manipulation

America is like a union of 50 countries, yet the things you chose to criticize were for the most part not federal level restrictions, but rather cherry-picked quirks of individual states. > They have very specific speech restrictions aro

Not so. UK, Germany, and indeed most of the EU have significant speech restrictions accompanied by censorship or jail time if you violate them. I'm not super familiar with Norway's speech protections, but it has a smaller populati

America has a lot of quirks and problems, but in not many other countries can you flagrantly criticize/insult the government/leaders/policy without repercussion. USA has arguably the greatest freedom of speech protections on

Wow, that story is a great example of "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission". Just drive to the desert and burn it, don't waste 100 hours trying to get permission from the state of California to burn it.

Rollback net code sounds just like a modern CPU and branch prediction. So... I guess we can expect spectre/meltdown Mortal Kombat variants?

That's what I'm saying. People are used to paying for a good based on its intrinsic value (cost to manufacture/distribute/etc. + some profit margin). But since digital goods are nearly 100% profit margin once created, yo

It's kind of surreal to live in a world where the value of (digital) goods can scale to a region's current economic status in order to maximize global profits (i.e. video game costs $60 in USA but the same game is $1 in a poor Afr

If this is true, shouldn't there be consequences for NAACP? Surely accepting cash to weaponize racism is (or should be) illegal?

In Idaho at least, you do have to pay a monthly infrastructure fee even if you are using net metering.

System 76 is great for Linux but the Windows support is absolutely abysmal so you can forget about having high quality Windows dual boot setup.

In my experience chatGPT is more useful than StackOverflow in 9 out of 10 cases because it can generate custom tailor-made code for your exact use case. Sure, it might not be "correct" in the ultra-pedantic StackOverflow definit
