Another is the 3ware 8000 series. We got a dead machine in recently for repair and were faced with either moving the RAID drives and card over to a new server chassis while being restricted to the EOL'd CentOS 5 or upgrading to CentOS

Just to add to what the others have said: 1. Immutable values by default avoids whole categories of problems. Just for one example, you can't have a data race between two threads if all the public values accessible from each thread are

I can't share the code with you, but I did just that on a proprietary app for my company. Only the GUI shell of the app is in C#, and that only because the GUI builder features of Visual Studio can only generate C# code. All of the &qu

As I understand it, drh simply disabled Windows Defender entirely for these tests. SQLite gets an additional advantage with Defender enabled because Defender doesn't try to scan inside the SQLite DB file for the sub-files, whereas with

My contention was that this article is about least-effort methods (i.e. fopen() vs default SQLite) so a lot of Windows SQLite users are going to have Defender (or heaven help them, something much worse) installed. Once you start getting int

See section 2.1 in the report: the Win10 and Win7 installations are on different hardware. If you have a dual-boot Win10/7 box, it's easy to run the test yourself.

The article may be unclear on this point: anti-virus was turned off for these tests. What that paragraph is pointing out is that performance tanks badly (roughly a factor of 10x) when you turn on Windows Defender, and presumably even wors

There is about 94 kSLOC of C code in Fossil at the moment, not counting SQLite itself, according to SLOCCount. SQLite more than doubles that line count. By that measure alone, about half of Fossil is "SQL", in the sense that more

Yes, exactly this. Not only does working on a branch sequester each developer's individual insanities until merge time, it lets other team members keep an eye on that branch so there aren't big surprises when merge time comes arou

> let's say I want to work on an open source project done in fossil....How do I do this? You clone the repo, open it into a working directory, and turn off autosync. Then all changes made to the repo affect only your local instance.
