- develops Wolf 3D

- develops Doom, realizes there is more optimal algorithm for Wolf 3D, implements it for SNES port

- develops Quake, realizes there is optimal algorithm for Doom allowing for zero overdraw. Sadly never implemented or documented further than a footnote in Abrash book, maybe portals like in Duke 3D?

SQLite is not competing with RDMBSes. SQLite is competing with fopen().

There are of course solutions which wrap this fopen() replacement in a network/cluster-aware tools, e.g. https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite - these are competing with postgres.
I never had this impression. For me reading papers is way more fun and easier than developing a new solution in code and painstakingly work over all the bugs until they are gone, or worse, find bugs that you don't have solutions for. Or finding that it is too slow for your target machines.

Creating something new is so much work.

Like skying it could be fun when you are not a professional and you do it on your terms, but once you are a professional it is something different.

Once upon a time, I revamped a binary file format for a propriety industrial-scientific software.

The software was writing vast arrays of numbers into a file, and reading them based on offsets.

As the software (and its data) evolved, versioning became a nightmare.

I ended up writing an ORM serializer which read from/wrote into an SQLite DB with a variation on an EAV schema.

One of my favorite projects, result-wise. Reading and writing was clean and efficient; the format was portable, language-agnostic, compact.

Versions of the new format were backwards- (and, within reason, forward-) compatible with each other (I forced specifying sane defaults for attributes if they're missing).

I'm still thinking of reimplementing a project like that as FOSS one day.

Serializing numeric data to something like JSON is a waste, and the structured binary formats I've looked at aren't nearly as thought out as SQLite.

I think no one cares because basing your energy policy on buying gas from Russia is such an obviously stupid idea that no one wants to bring it up.

Russia is not your ally, Russia isn't even a reliable neutral party. Russia is explicitly the enemy of Europe and when Germans get that into their heads things will be a lot simpler.
Varying consumer demand can easily be matched by nuclear power. They can run gradients as high as gas turbines, but it's not good to go really low quickly because frequent and rapid adjustments in a nuclear reactor's output can lead to increased wear and tear. France is doing a really good job of matching demand and supply with their fleet.
They could start fracking... now their industry is going down, energy is going up and they cant even see US.

Well, we still don't even have a solution for nuclear waste. It's not like nuclear has no problems.
Nuclear power is expensive because decades of fear mongering have made it so.

Today nuclear power is one of the safest, together with solar and wind [1]. If we were to make coal power as safe as nuclear (including externalities), I wonder how much the difference would be.

The Pennsylvania situation is completely different. Those were wells drilled decades ago that were extremely shallow and done with very simplistic methods that didn't isolate the well from ground water. That type of drilling is no longer done. The wells in the Permian are below multiple levels of bedrock well below any pumpable ground water and they're lined with impermeable barriers all the way up the well.

Further this article isn't even about fracking. The wells water was pumped into were ancient abandoned wells, not fracked wells.

Is being negative ever an advantage? It seems we'd all be better off if we could be positive all the time.. easier said than done. The fact is, being emotionally resilient in the oppressive, adversarial, soul-crushing coliseum of the modern workforce is nothing short of a superpower that borders on a form of mental insanity. Unfortunately for the author, most of us don't have the luxury of insanity.
Qualcomm has shown off demos to the media of Baldur's Gate 3, video editing, music production, OBS, etc. Microsoft has claimed their translation layer is "as good as" Rosetta. Support for anti-cheat is not relevant unless you want to game online, which I don't. Driver support for third-party peripherals is a valid concern for a significant number of users, but not something I personally care about in a portable device.

It's perfectly reasonable to be sceptical of Qualcomm's claims, but you can get a feel for how confident a company is in their product by how they approach marketing - and we are seeing a level of confidence here from Qualcomm and Microsoft that we have not seen with previous Windows on ARM pushes.

I am personally inferring from this that the products are probably pretty good, but this is speculation. I won't be ordering one until I see some test results from independent reviewers.
Turso (https://turso.tech/) offers a solution in that scenario. The advantage with SQLite being that each machine has a local copy of the database (optionally I think) for reads so it’ll be extremely fast, and writes happen to one primary database but are abstracted and replicated.

My feeling is that Germans just don't care about Eastern Europe somehow. Germans are generally comfortable knowing that the money they spend on Russian hydrocarbons will be used to attack and destabilise their "allies" to their East. As long as it doesn't directly impact them they don't care.
To be fair, the Greens were the only party to oppose Nord Stream 2. However, they did support (and where in power togehter with the SPD) the construction of Nord Stream 1, which was already part of the Energiewende plan, as cheap gas was (and still is) required for it.

The best way to get started if you want to build a simple editor is our Saas-Template. It's a simple NextJS app that embeds the Revideo player and lets you export your video with a button click: https://github.com/redotvideo/examples/tree/main/saas-templa...

To learn how you would build a template for video splitting, feel free to check out this example: https://github.com/redotvideo/examples/tree/main/stitching-v.... It shows how you can render and concatenate videos for desired timestamps (e.g. show only second 5 to 10 of a video)
I have no idea what link you're making between nuclear power and the military industrial complex. The vast majority of nations with nuclear power have no nuclear weapons program - Germany first and foremost, for obvious WWII-related reasons.
>Decades of fear spread by the Greens (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) and the media have made any argument in favor of nuclear power a waste of time

Actually it's exclusively cost that made it a waste of time. The (quite valid) safety concerns are just a cherry on top of the staggering cost.

As it is sophisticated private insurers view it as too risky which is why the taxpayer has to step up to lavish the industry with free insurance against $800 billion Fukushima type events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price-Anderson_Nuclear_Industr...

Even before that the LCOE is 5x solar and wind. No, the reduced storage requirement doesn't bring 5x down to 1x. Not even close.
They are so close, though! I think one lesson Python took is that it's better, even mandatory, to use venv and install stuff in isolated containment.

This is exactly what Node/NPM does: "npm instal" creates a new dir, "./node_modules" and installs stuff there, and next "npm" commands will transparently refer to that subdir. This is, in effect, the same thing as a Python's venv! to the point that in my scripts I always name them "python_modules", to give other unfamiliar devs a clue of what it is.

If "pip install" just did this transparently, without introducing the whole concept of venvs to the user, it would be a huge step forward. I cannot imagine how it would suck if NPM didn't make its node_module dir, and instead it forced you to first learn all the idiosyncrasies of module isolation.
Yes, that seems to be the point. To clearify that people were reading too much into the news around a partnership with OCI.
> When I use AES-GCM I just use a bigger nonce and use a random one.

I don't think nonces bigger than 12 bytes will help. My quick reading of the AES-GCM spec is that when using a nonce that's not 96 bits (12 bytes), it is hashed to 96 bits. So either the nonce (called iv in the spec) is carefully constructed from a counter and set to exactly 96 bits, or the number of invocations is limited. The spec still restricts use of a key to 2^32 total uses for random nonces of any bigger length (resulting in a re-use probability of about 1e-10):

Of course there are solutions. Look at Finland.

Also, how many nuclear waste death do we have per year? How much do we pay for it's current storage? How does it change the climate? How much nuclear waste is there even? There is no nuclear waste problem. It's FUD.

why they don't buy from norway?
Ah yes, let's solely blame the party for the shut down the previous government ordered.
The nations that actually build it (not every country with nuclear power builds its own nuclear power stations) are split into countries that have it and countries that have, say, signed the NPT but have a geopolitical rival that makes them afraid enough to want to be able to build nukes in a hurry one day.

Iran is one - they have very legitimate fears about a very particular country. They don't have a legitimate economic reason to build nuclear power, which is why America got very angry at them. America knew why they were building a PWR and weren't buying the "exclusively for peaceful civilian purposes" excuse.

But they're not the only ones. Sweden is another. They even used to have a nuclear program, in fact.

Poland is also one. Well, Poland wasn't so afraid of any geopolitical rivals 3 years ago. It has recently become afraid for... reasons. It has only recently developed an interest in building nuclear power even though it didn't suddenly get any cheaper. What a coincidence.

As I said before: the cost is very very high. It is staggering, in fact. If you don't have a good non-economic reason to build it you don't.

> Russia did not target (initially, now they are) major essential civilian infrastructure like power plants

The russians targeted major essential civilian infrastructure right from the outset of the full scale invasion. This included hospitals, airports, train stations, bridges, information infrastructure, fuel facilities, etc. They also launched wave after wave of cruise missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure all across the country from the autumn of 2022.

I would know, because I was there.

So, what you are saying here is utter horseshit.

There is, but clearly you don't want to see it.

Gosh. So much this! The difference between the "average" PhD graduate in data science and the "average" software engineer with genuine experience delivering production software that people use at scale is quite something. I have nothing against data scientists, but in the same way that I wouldn't get a software engineer to build a complex model (above a certain level of complexity), neither would I get a data scientist to build a production app (above a certain level of scale). Both of these things are specialist activities that require a lot of experience, wisdom, and nuance to get right. Being good at one does not (necessarily) mean you will be good at the other.
That is fair, assuming the CEO is technical, or technical _enough_. However, I see a lot of non-tech CEOs trying this on and in those cases, it is a red flag for me.

I agree, an actual app can certainly get access to more APIs and have a tighter integration with the platform. So it depends on whether you actually want a tighter integration. If you're like me and prefer the note taking app to be minimalist with no bells and whistles then a PWA would be a great fit. For example, Unforget doesn't have background sync, push notifications, reminders, etc. etc. and for my needs that's perfectly fine.

> but honestly people like having an actual "app" (even if it is Electron)

Do you mean because of the tighter platform integration and more features? or the fact that it is an icon on your home screen? if you mean the latter then a PWA is actually quite nice. Some non-techie people I showed this to were quite impressed and excited to find out that they could just add a website to their home screen that acts like an actual app including working offline.
You're right. This actually is first class Apple[0] and can't get any better than that whereas with Go, I am stuck with so many third party packages. They work well but kinda... not so elegant. Decent enough given what the language can offer.

The change-up is pretty well understood, I think. Use the same apparent arm motion but grip the ball differently to create a release that’s slower and may have a slightly different spin.
bc the natural question after that would be "why do you care so much? Do you support russia? Do you want to pay money to the Russia's war machine?" And tbh these questions are somewhat valid. The NS blowing was a signal for germany to reorient it's dependency on other re-sources, be that from US liquified gas, or gas pipes from norway, or buy nuclear from france, or buy solar panels from china
True but it lacks the tools you’d want to have to deal with larger databases, for example everything is one file and no table-level locking. You can split into different databases and use ATTACH but at that point you might as well install Postgres.

SQLite really shines when you know that a database can only get so large, let’s say you have a paid product that is only ever going to have a moderate number of users.
Its first nuclear power plants were built by Atomstroyexport. Russian. Recently, Westinghouse is being contracted to build one. American. They're also talking to France.

What do you mean? For months there were many long detailed news articles and segments, government inquiries, international cooperation between the Baltic states, Denmark, and Sweden. They are still ongoing. Scientists are still monitoring how much gas dissolved in the waters as we write this.

Previously when it was built, the environmental lobby was raging mad that it got green-lit (and even the military leadership sort of opposed it by saying that "it affects our security") but the commercial interests and ruling parties allowed it to go through anyway.

I think it was a Russian operation, it makes most sense to me that they would try to deprive Europe of gas and make Europe war-weary to stop supporting Ukraine sooner. But at the same time I would not be very surprised that a small group of Ukrainian operatives (as rumoured) did it to deprive Russia of income from the gas line.

Its interesting that if you are sitting on top of something valuable its great, as long as its not too valuable. At a certain point people are willing to kill and cheat for something really valuable, and then if you are sitting on top of it, you're fucked.
Exotic is the most interesting one. For example, I recently needed a fast way to flip order of bits in each byte of a long buffer. Did that in 8 AVX2 instructions / 32 bytes (which include load and store), by using 16-bytes long lookup tables for VPSHUFB.

This is true, but it also depends.

There are a lot of "tech businesses" that are actually using pretty pedestrian tech. What they are _actually_ doing is business model innovation with an underlying tech platform. Often, that tech platform can be commodity or relatively simple tech. There are other startup propositions, though, where the tech _is_ the thing, and if you get the tech right, then some of those other things end up being secondary (not irrelevant, of course) just not primary. This is assuming that you really have punched a hole thru the door with some amazing deep tech breakthrough, which not every company is doing, contrary to what they may claim.

There is a YouTube video [0] (which goes back to 2019) that does a pretty good job of making this point. Well, much better than I can.

To be fair to your original point: you're right that marketing and sales are hard. I'm just adding the subtlety that there are some tech businesses where the tech is _also_ hard, and perhaps even harder.
