Well, that's a review for fulfillment, which may or may not be done by the same entity responsible for the product. Many review forms aren't clear about whether they are asking you to review the specific product or the entire transaction experience.
You're confusing the ISA with the chip. Current RISC-V chips are slower than high performance ARM ones, but that's because you don't start by designing high performance chips! You start with small embedded cores and work your way up.

Exactly the same thing happened with ARM. It started in embedded, then phones, and finally laptops and servers. ARM was never slow, they just hadn't worked up to highly complex high performance designs yet.
"Where" you are in your career also make a difference. In your 20's, fresh out of uni, you're expected to switch around a bit. No problem there. Still job-hopping every 2 years in your 30's or 40's - that's a signal to the prospective employer that you'll be here for 2 years, then gone.

Often I'll also see someone who was in a job long-term (10 years+) but then has bounced through a few since leaving. That's a different kind of signal and requires a lot more exploration. You clearly -can- settle down, but you seem to be struggling to do that - why is that? I've had folk who are in the "don't tell me how to do my job, I've been doing it for decades" attitude which can be hard for others to work with, especially when "we do it differently here."
> Why autosetup?

A link in the original post leads to a description of the motivation for the port. TL;DR: we've used Autosetup since 2011 in SQLite's sibling, the Fossil SCM, and we quite like it.

> Or are there more fundamental reasons to prefer it over cmake?

CMake is an out-of-tree tool, which is something the project tries to avoid at all costs for portability and maintainability reasons. GNU Autotools lives halfway in-tree and halfway out-of-tree. It's ubiquitous but also often problematic to upgrade, and is subject to breakage when project developers have different versions of the Autotools installed on their systems. Richard very specifically keeps an ancient version of Autotools on his system to reduce that pain, but that's not a satisfying situation to be in.

Autosetup, on the other hand, lives entirely in the project's source tree, meaning we have not only consistency across all developers' machines, but also complete control over when to upgrade (or not) the tools. Over the past 13ish years of using Autosetup in the Fossil SCM we have never had any significant upgrade-related pains.

Sometimes you’ll also have a situation where your food is prepared quickly but no drivers want to pick up the food for a while.

At least it used to be like that a few years ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash/comments/o32nl4/no_tip_ord...

Don’t know if the situation has improved since.

The reason this happens is because Uber Eats and DoorDash and others have/had this concept where you’d “tip” for the delivery. Which is actually not a tip, but just a shitty way of disguising delivery fees and putting customers against the people that deliver the food. But that in turn has its background in how the restaurant business treats their workers in the USA, which has been wacky even long before these food delivery apps became a thing.

Anyway, regardless of your opinion on “tipping” and these practices the point was to say that there are additional complications with how much time it will take for your order to arrive aside from just the time it takes to prepare the food and the time it takes to travel from the restaurant to your door, even when the food has been prepared and a delivery driver is right there at the restaurant. If the “tip” is too low, or zero, your order could be left sitting on the shelf with nobody willing to pick it up. At least a few years ago it was like that.
thank you for explaining
That’s fixable too. If the rest of the world drops all packets to or from Russian CIDR blocks, it doesn’t matter how many fibre links they still have lit up.

Just a handful of public clouds and major CDNs dropping packets from Russian IPs would cut them off from almost all Internet services directly or indirectly. Good luck browsing web pages with cdnjs and the like just timing out for you!

Russia can route to the rest of the Internet because they’re being allowed to in the same sense that they can sell oil and gas to Europe because Europeans are allowing them to.
> The 2024 budget was $9.3b [1] versus $5.1b in 2011 [0]

For context: Just keeping up with inflation puts the 2011 budget at $7.1b in 2024.

Investing $9b into $13b of revenue sounds like a great use of government funds to me.

We should let failing businesses fail. Everyone would have learned their lessons a long time ago and we would have less corporate greed/corpo-political corruption.

And people should be angry at them for failing and causing economic disruption (assuming it would even be as bad as prophets of doom say). Their suffering should be publicly attached to its harbingers — greedy and incompetent executives.

People responsible and accountable for the current situation would face natural consequences of their actions.

But of course, I don’t think it will happen. We bought into the delusion that executives and big business can do no wrong, and that they somehow shouldn’t face the results of their actions. Their employees, stakeholders, and the broader economy just keep being “affected by difficult times”.

But neither these companies would be “difficult times” nor subprime mortgage lenders and CRA’s were “difficult times”. They are and were just groups of greedy executive sociopaths getting a free ride off society, knowing full well the negative externalities of their actions.

We keep letting weeds grow in our proverbial garden unchecked and then say “if we take out the weeds then there will be no more garden”. Well guess how that happened, and guess what’s the only way to get a sustainable garden back. Except with weeds, dealing with them requires action, effort. With large corrupt businesses, we don’t need to do anything — just allow natural consequences.

Unfortunately an annoying app will out compete a non-annoying app in terms of reviews. Even if a few people like GP 1-star it, it's still worth it since most will 5 star it.
While that’s a large change, it’s worth keeping in mind more than half the difference is just inflation. $5.1b in 2011 is $7.3b in ‘24
This is headline bait. The article in question is about a lawsuit in which Wikipedia is the defendant. The court said that they needed to take down the article just until the lawsuit is resolved, to prevent jury tampering.

This is a nothing burger.
Completely agree…

Forgetting to check any given err value leads to potentially undefined behaviour.
Defense spending isn't even the majority of discretionary spending.

It's simply an enormous, vast economy, and 13% of a vast economy is a huge number, large enough to outspend the next several countries combined. That's all.
> Eg: SKA - definitely cheaper on the ground.

Unconvinced. Because building the whole system, not some isolated dishes somewhere amounted to 1.3 Billion EUR, operating it up to 2030 adds another 0.7 Billion EUR. 2 Billions. Chump change for sure.

Now we can compare that with the JWST and typical cost overruns in american boondoggle style, or look at the latest shining star, EUCLID. Just 1.4 Billion EUR for the latter.

Then there was GAIA at about 740 Million EUR, with the orbiting article at 450 Million EUR alone, plus another 250 Million EUR for the data-processing org.

All of these with more or less conventional rocketry, and not co-orbiting anything for more easy maintenance and upgrading.

My gut feeling tells me we will have cheaper and more reliable access to space, with larger payload capacity, necessitating less 'origamics' for the space parts, and that chinese concept seems sound, too. Very much so, in fact.

How much that will cost I have no clue.

But again, if something like this is becoming reality, no matter by whom, some former assumptions about cost, feasibility (at all, because payload weight and dimension constraints are relaxed, needing less 'origamics') will have to be rethought.

That was my point, in general. Not limited to any special application.

I still have a few of these games! It doesn't capture me quite like it did back then but the art style is still beautiful, and I remember it kicking off my understanding of "AI" as in game AI, not LLMs.

Understanding how wants and needs drove actions, and marvelling at the language learning game mechanic. The genetics gameplay as well. It was well ahead of its time. I was early teens when I first played it, the same year I started learning to make games in Dark Basic.

Vite is a “bundler”, a dev/build tool. You can vanilla js with it as usual. It takes your index.html and sucks in a whole dependency tree to shake it and either produce a production bundle or run a dev server. Being aware of ts, vue, react, sass, etc out of box is its bonus points.

Vite vs React vs Next is crates vs oranges vs boxed oranges.

I know react but never touch it. React, vue, svelte are “state management”. I’m using mithril.js with POJOs for my frontends.

Vanilla everything gets messy in interactive apps, and I come up with a poor man’s mithril usually, then rewrite for it.
Now that was most excellent.

Watch them all including the ones in my first comment :-) There are a few more on Youtube eg. George Andrews' presentation etc.

Watch particularly Prof. Ken Ono's videos where you can literally feel his Admiration and Reverence for Ramanujan. He credits his Career/Repairing relationships with his Father/Family to their shared love of Ramanujan and his Mathematics (his autobiography is named My Search for Ramanujan: How I Learned to Count). I found it highly inspiring and motivating and encourage all students/teachers to watch them.

Also see Ramanujan's wikipedia page which contains lots of details/quotes/links to books/videos/etc. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan

Quote:

K. Srinivasa Rao has said, "As for his place in the world of Mathematics, we quote Bruce C. Berndt: 'Paul Erdős has passed on to us Hardy's personal ratings of mathematicians. Suppose that we rate mathematicians on the basis of pure talent on a scale from 0 to 100. Hardy gave himself a score of 25, J. E. Littlewood 30, David Hilbert 80 and Ramanujan 100.'"

I believe they’re quoting Howard’s Rogan interview, fwiw
It's about the actions of the business, not the person experiencing the product. If John Doe submits a review that says, "I bought and used this product, and it sucks," a business can't edit that to say, "I bought and used this product, and it was amazing." That would misrepresent the reviewer's personal experience.
No, if I remember correctly it was a local beverage company. It wasn't unusual for Microsoft to back local businesses. I remember a very talented Indian software engineer that left Microsoft and purchased 3 "food trucks" and decided to serve food instead, true story. He parked his truck outside building 88 for a few years.
That is a good comment, and I agree things like CSR differences could be annoying, but compared to the engineering challenges of designing the Oryon cores from scratch… I still think the scope of work would be relatively small. I just don’t think Qualcomm seriously wants to invest in RISC-V unless ARM forces them to.

It's certainly more than just disabling a build type - it's actually removing a decent bit of configuration options and even TODO comments. Then again, it's not actually removing anything particularly significant, and even has a comment of "BTW, this has nothing to do with kernel build, but only related to CC rules. Do we still want to delete this?". Presumably easy to revert later, and might even just be a revert itself.

>> If anything, I tend to judge people a little bit who stay in the same place more than 3-4 years in this industry.

While I completely understand this point of view, I wonder if you are speaking as an employer or employee? If, as an employer, how do you cope with your 25% of your staff leaving every year? How do you build that institutional deep knowledge if your longest serving person has < 5 years under their belt?

I can really only view it from the view-point of an employer (so my comment comes from there.) Personally I've been in the same job for 33 years now (was my first job out of uni) but I've seen the company grow from 2 people to 50. Most of our staff have > 10 years with us, and a bunch > 20. They are highly skilled, and have a depth of knowledge about our products and customers that are unmatched. They earn salaries well higher than other companies would pay them.

50 people is of course very modest success - I'm not saying we're a unicorn, or even especially valuable. But from our view-point we're also not looking to hire folk who have short-term goals and are already looking for the next gig down the line. Obviously lots of job-hopping is a red flag for our recruitment process.

And that's the thing I guess. Another company would have a very different perspective, and be looking for a very different kind of person. And ultimately that's ok. We don't all need to fit the same mould.
Amazon has a program (Amazon Vine Voices) that enables sellers and brands to send select customers pre-release items for review before the product goes on sale. Sellers/brands can also do that outside their sales platform. Note that these are almost always "free products in exchange for review" and are supposed to be appropriately disclosed.

Why should I? One side is happy to push absolute known BS about "post birth abortions", about harvesting of fetal body parts for everything from alternative medicine to a quest for immortality.

The time for "assume good faith" is long, long, long gone. These arguments are not in good faith. And I can rule out good intentions when you can't even have a sincere argument about it and lie through your teeth, knowingly and deliberately about it.

I've worked as a quant for a power company and had more data than god about what was happening in a continent wide grid. The instabilities in the grid are caused by renewables turning on and off at the drop of a hat the whole network over. That's on top of the complete lack of any stable base load at night that comes with renewables.

I then build a continent wide physics based electrical network simulation down to the individual house. There is no way to keep the networks stable in the coming decades with more and more intermittent sources coming in.

Large heavy spinning shafts are the only thing that's kept us from catastrophic failures and pretty much no one knows or cares.

Fortunately (by some definition of fortunately), most countries don’t agree on exactly how the web should be “locked down.” This benefits at least some people (like me) who live in countries who make also no effort to restrict what can be shoved down the internet tube, including from countries that don’t particularly care about western copyright law. Would it be nice to have a fully sanctioned pandemic library-style service? Absolutely. But I have never once looked for a textbook, paper, regular book, etc online and not found a copy for free. Usually takes the same amount of time or less compared to finding a copy on Amazon (if it’s currently in print), and almost always less time using my library’s clunky online ebook platform[1].

Is that legal? Technically yes, in my country. Is it ethical? Debatable, depending on who you’re asking. But for me personally, I have found it to be getting substantially easier to find high quality copies of copyrighted anything in the past 3-5 years compared to 10-15 years ago, so I don’t necessarily agree with the blanket statement that “the net is only getting more locked down.”

[1] I like to use the library as much as possible, if for nothing else than to increase usage numbers to marginally positively decrease the likelihood of finding cuts.

Alright, we’ve arrived at a point where I‘m going to ask you for a source. You‘re being willfully ignorant. I explained that „unsafe“ is not used in the Rust community like you think it is, and that the compiler provides verification of safe Rust types in unsafe blocks.

The only times I‘ve used unsafe code is for FFI and very rarely on bare metal machines.

A common Rust programmer will never use unsafe. They will use safe abstractions by the standard library. There is no need for direct use of unsafe in application code, and only very rarely in library code.

In fact, [1] reports that most unsafe calls in libraries are FFI calls into existing C/C++ code or system calls.

> Conda-forge/sqlite-feedstock; recipe/meta.yml,

Aside from the cross-compilation, which is most definitely part of the process but has not yet been explored in depth[^1], nothing in your build immediately sticks out at as problematic, but i've bookmarked it for future reference during the port.

The .bat build (Windows) will not change via this port. Only Unix-like environments will potentially be affected.

> Is there a [multi-stage] Dockerfile to build, install and test SQLite with the new build system?

Not that the sqlite project maintains, no. None of us use docker in any capacity. We work only from the canonical source tree and we like to think that it's easy enough to do that other folks can too.

> Is there SLSA signing for the SQLite build artifacts?

That's out of scope for, and unrelated to, this particular sub-project.

We don't use github except to post a read-only mirror of the canonical source tree.

It was hyperbole, exaggeration for inflated effect, unlikely but within the realm of technically poossible.
