That's... not a compromise. That's literally where you started.
If there were implementations of SQLite in other languages, do you believe chrome would have used a different implementation?
Oh sorry yes you are right.

I think if they want to claim that they did this because they care about privacy it might be a little hypocritical to have trackers on the blog post where they're bragging about it.

It also looks like there are still several items on github.com that are beacons / stats tracking (and as such are blocked by privacy / ad blocking tools such as uBlock Origin):

As an alternative...I wonder if there could be a auth process where the user creates a writeable 'space' for a site/app with a one time key in their password manager, gives the site/app the key, then the site uploads new login credentials directly into the password manager.
People are demonstrably not afraid to get together in public places... whatever public places I've been to (mostly in deep blue states, and also Nevada) are as crowded as they can be. Actually, outdoor spaces were overcrowded, more than usual, during complete lockdown in WA where they were literally telling people to not leave the house except for critical tasks.

This argument always seems completely untenable for me. It's highly improbable that the level of fear hits the sweet spot where without lockdowns it's not enough to prevent the spread, but enough to ruin the economy.

As a (potential) consumer of this type of service I can attest that this is fine with me.

I had a SAAS for a while where <large enterprise customer> insisted on SAML-based authentication for a full roll out. However, they were happy to do a (cheaper) paid trial without it.

A service like SuperTokens works well here because its costs and complexity scale with my requirements. Unlike Congnito it is literally free and completely under my control at the start, but there is a reasonable forward migration path that doesn't involve a complete auth rewrite going forward.
> did the instructions say it’s a) dangerous with a power supply that can’t provide 1A or b) not/less functional without the 1a supply?

To me, the real red flag is: what happens when you plug it into an 3 A USB charger? Being a constant voltage supply, the load should only draw as much current as needed, and it should work with no problems (which is the usual expectation of 90% of consumer electronics with a USB port). The warning of "only use 1 A charger" notice is suspicious because it may suggest that the product doesn't include any internal overcurrent protection by itself (like a $0.1 polyfuse), and solely depends on the current limiting of the USB charger for its safety. While it's possible that it's not inherently wrong, but it's certainly a bad design practice.
The fact that google runs a cache is part of AMP, and open for criticism.

The fact that google does not let you disable AMP from your browsing experience is part of AMP, and open for criticism.

The fact that google will prefer AMP over non-AMP links even if this means looking for a newly launch site with dynamic content (that can't be amp'ed) will get buried by articles about that site because they have AMP, is part of AMP, and open for criticism.

ie: AMP the """standard""" may be good, but everything google did with AMP is fucking horrible, and utterly and irreparably stains AMP, if only for enabling these things.

And the fact that google benefits from AMP, AND also started AMP and shaped AMP, just kinda nails the argument that you can't seperate out AMP from how google uses AMP.
That was a nod to an actual hack that happened back in 2014: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/target-hackers-broke-in-...

> An internal Boeing memo described it as a “risk” to give air sensors to even one airline, according to a deposition of a Boeing executive.

Thanks Boeing
Fume events are the dark belly of the aviation industry. The stuff used to lubricate turbofan engines is incredibly toxic when breathed in, literally orders of magnitude more potent than simple kerosene fumes.
I think a better way to put it is that all models are right given a situation / context / set of assumptions. It is important to understand the latter to apply the model.

I would highly recommend reading Chapter 3-5 (Epistemology) of Objectivism by Leonard Piekoff. It's a much more logical and easy to understand take on these same ideas.

This is amazingly dishonest:

"Six years ago, before the company opened a giant fulfillment center in Robbinsville, New Jersey, warehouse workers made $24 an hour on average, according to BLS data. Last year the average hourly wage slipped to $17.50."

Guess what? Low-skill immigrants have a similar effect on local economies. But it doesn't mean that those workers are "stealing" higher paid jobs. Seems likely to me that those higher paying jobs are still there, and it's just the average that's gone down.

WASM is really interesting here.

https://github.com/sql-js/sql.js is SQLite complied to WASM, which means you can run it not just in the browser but also in any WASM environment.

https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer-python lets you execute WASM compiled binaries within Python.

https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer-ruby handles Ruby.

So it should be possible to take the WASM compiled SQLite and run it in other languages.

This is a thing that really excites me about WASM: as a mainly-Python programmer it has the potential to give me access to a much wider range of tools.
Yes. Also, interestingly products made for the ultra wealthy are less professional than those for a consumer marketplace. I don't know any consumer website that could get away with a webpage that just says "Contact us for more information. 555-555-5555." But this is pretty common for products that target hedge funds and family offices. The real professionalism happens in the grooming that happens after that initial call, which is all person-to-person relationships.

I am a proponent of the theory that our self-perception and consciousness necessarily require others to exist. (More or less, a result of map-building recursion: my brain constructs a map/model of you, which includes my model of your model of me, which includes my model of your model of my model… and eventually a detailed enough concept of “I” emerges.)

In other words, assuming that holds, there can’t be “I” if there’s no one else.

With that theory in mind, when I experience this “sliding past life” (quite an apt analogy), I actually see it as evidence of myself in some ways becoming less conscious, or at least less self-aware.

It’d seem that some don’t experience such a contrast between being social and being alone; I suspect it could be because these maps their minds build have more “inertia” and are used in absence of the “territory” for longer. In a way that must be a nice feature, though on the other hand this might imply that such models aren’t as tightly coupled to reality.

One reason SQLite is so useful for this kind of application is that once you've linked it in any SQL call can be treated as a C function call.

Many Small Queries Are Efficient In SQLite: https://www.sqlite.org/np1queryprob.html

Round-tripping queries via shelling out to the SQLite binary would lose much of that advantage.
Where Tech Workers Are Moving: New LinkedIn Data vs. the Narrative
In my experience, sqlite is rarely the wrong choice for a first pass at almost anything. It’s
- Straightforward
- Portable
- Performant

So, unless you have a good reason to not use it:
- Human-readable/editable file format
- Non-trivial queries across multiple servers
- Specific performance optimizations needed
- Etc.

>I have a strong idea in my brain that a meal of chocolate bars and a healthy meal will result in same weight loss if calories are equal. Some professor lost weight eating chocolate bars!

Because it's true. People don't want it to be true though. While there are some extra steps involved it does come down to the simple energy balance model. What's different about eating different foods is that they can change how we behave and feel. Eating some foods can leave you craving for more, while others won't. Fundamentally though, you're not going to gain weight on a calorie deficit.

> The atomic update capabilities of SQLite allow small incremental changes to be safely written into the document. This reduces total disk I/O and improves File/Save performance, enhancing the user experience.

How would this work without breaking the conventional "Save" paradigm? Unless the app tracks all incremental changes to apply when the user clicks "Save" instead of dumping it all back to disk, which seems difficult and error-prone to implement.

> In terms of catching errors, we can say that null errors no longer show up in our error dashboard

I really wish they tried to have better metrics into if all this actually lowered their defect rates or not. Something a bit more quantitative then them not seeing null errors in their dashboards anymore. At least give us some sense of the measure? How many null error did they see before and what about now? What about other kind of errors? Did they see an uptick elsewhere as a result? What about developer productivity, was that impacted? Etc. This would have been a great opportunity to gather some real data about it.
You could always sandbox it. This has actually already been done at least once: years ago, there used to be a "pure Java" JDBC driver for SQLite that was generated by compiling the original C code to a MIPS binary, and then translating the result into Java bytecode.

Modern word processing formats write down incremental changes, to avoid writing all of a massive document back to disk.

For the 'core' (i.e. non-interactive parts of the) language, that's still somewhat true. So for basic class/method definitions, collections classes etc. you could probably somewhat get by with the Blue Book. (with a massive caveat that the UI class hierarchy and interaction paradigm is completely different. Also, VM has gone through several iterations of changes that have necessitated some image-side changes which wouldn't track with the old books either.)

However, your learning curve will be much easier if you start with a tutorial/reference targeting the dialect you want to work with. Then go back to things like the Blue Book to understand where it all came from and analyze the differences if you're so inclined.

I think the author has a beef with Amazon. The labor market is based on supply and demand . If the labor supply is more than the demand, then wages will fall. Except for forklift drivers, most warehouse jobs are unskilled Jobs and during times of high unemployment, prices for unskilled labor tends to fall down. The United States also admits close to a million immigrants every year - mostly via the family based categories. Those also tend to have a downward effect on wages as they compete with local talent for the same jobs .
Consumers should not expect slave labor, but they would happily consume it if regulation did not prevent it.

Disclosure: I donate to progressive efforts in this space to drag the minimum wage up, which has not kept pace with inflation for many years.

In other words, Amazon is costing you, the taxpayer, money by not paying their workers a living wage.
Because management (or rather, shareholders) pay workers to do work, and not the other way around. Abstractly, workers telling shareholders how to run the company (out of the scope of what shareholders hired them for) would be similar to shareholders telling workers how to spend their paycheck.
