Same in Django. Glad we were not alone!

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29280

The issue has since been fixed somehow (after being outstanding for 6 years).

The Django docs gaslights the developer into thinking it's of some SQLite limitations:

"SQLite is meant to be a lightweight database, and thus can’t support a high level of concurrency. OperationalError: database is locked errors indicate that your application is experiencing more concurrency than sqlite can handle in default configuration."

But that's not true, the issue could be reproduced with just two "concurrent" connections given unfortunate timing.

Since I was stubborn enough to not switch to another database (for production loads) and I knew sqlite could handle loads of a couple requests per sec, I'm still salty that Django basically introduced random errors to a service I maintain just because they didn't want to fix the problem (and lied to me in the docs).

> The U.S. Department of Treasury is amending its definitions of a military installation, adding to the list of military installations covered by the Committee on Foreign Investment int he United States (CFIUS)

> The new list adds almost 60 military installations across 30 states to the existing list of 10 military installations that CFIUS has jurisdiction over. That enables the federal agency to have more scrutiny over real estate deals that happen in proximity to the bases.

The Wikipedia page for CFIUS clarifies that it was originally created by an executive order as per the Defense Production Act, but its authority has since been expanded by legislation.

Sure, I can agree with that. I mentioned the incentives welfare programs create and maybe that doesn't play as big a role as I expect for motivating immigrants. It is a structural problem of sorts though, welfare programs and immigration are financially at odds with one another.

I don't personally have any problem whatsoever with someone from a poorer country immigrating to the US (not saying that was your argument here) and don't agree with any immigration laws that limit based on wealth. The US wouldn't be what it is today if only the wealthy were ever allowed to immigrate here.
I remember seeing something about that a few years ago. Super strange they never were found.

Cave Johnson probably still has them doing some important science underground somewhere.
They will. This language is already creeping into contract discussions, though nothing I've been party to has actually required dropping C or C++. It's making it into RFIs already. It'll be in actual requirements in a couple more years, probably. And then it'll be forgotten like Ada before it.
> NFS will lead to all kinds of nasty problems

Really important caveat, cause dear [whatever you pray to] will it ever blow up in your face on NFS storage. I worked at a company that tried to store production-deployed code as state in a globally-reachable SVN repo on NFS… someone(s) at each location had write access, and every so often the underlying SQLite3 file would go ping in a catastrophic manner.

Love SQLite, ludicrously underrated and ridiculously flexible, and the problems we had started way before that was deployed, but yeah stay away from a file system without reliably atomic locking.

I’ve lived in the area for years and always wondered why there’s a cement plant in the middle of one of the most expensive towns in the country.
The opposite happened; for a while, it did not allow third party installers to run without user interaction but now it does. EU legislation probably had a role in that change.

yes, sure people are "starting" toy projects in this area all the time. That's not the same thing as a production version will wide support, deep features and targeting the browser.
This seems like a stretch. As far as I know, usually DNA evidence in exonerations is more along the lines of, "The DNA is 98% match for a known killer who was arrested for similar crime a few years later."
Thanks for the details.
Concerning matching for diffing vs for merging, the differences I can think of are:

- for diffing, the matching of the leaves is what matters the most, for merging the internal nodes are more important,

- for diffing, it feels more acceptable to restrict the matching to be monotonous on the leaves since it's difficult to visually represent moves if you can detect them. For merging, supporting moves is more interesting as it lets you replay changes on the moved element,

- diffing needs to be faster than merging, so the accuracy/speed tradeoffs can be different.

Packaging parsers into separate executables seems like hard work indeed! I assume you also considered fixing the tree-sitter grammars (vendoring them as needed, if the fixes can't be upstreamed)? Tree-sitter parsers are being used for a lot more than syntax highlighting these days (for instance GitHub's "Symbols" panel) so I would imagine maintainers should be open to making grammars more faithful to the official specs. I'm not particularly looking forward to maintaining dozens of forked grammars but it still feels a lot easier than writing parsers in different languages. I guess you have different distribution constraints also.
You cannot use WAL mode over NFS. All connections are required to map shared memory for WAL to work, which precludes network file sharing in general.

Show HN: Deploy ComfyUI workflows as a web app with no code
We just launched a tool to deploy ComfyUI workflows as web apps in just a few clicks. This project had two distinct components: an app builder and cloud infrastructure optimised for ComfyUI.

The app builder part of our project is open-sourced and makes it easy to put a user-friendly UI on top of any ComfyUI workflows: https://github.com/ViewComfy/ViewComfy

The cloud services include an auto-installer that takes care of all the nodes and models needed to run a workflow, so that you can get started quickly. It can be used to deploy ViewComfy apps or APIs.

We've created a playground section where you can see some examples of workflows that we have deployed already: https://playground.viewcomfy.com/

Let us know if you have any feedback :)
What is a persistent data memory user?
I've never been able to make text look good at small sizes whenever I've tried immediate mode text rendering. Even in the first shadertoy, in vec2(30, -30), if you change 30 to 300, you'll see some artifacts. Is there a trick to getting that right? For me, multisampling the texture inside fragment shader appears to work the best, although it still isn't as good as the state of the art.

Anyone can write anything they want into a contract or terms of service. That does not make it legally binding, however. There's plenty of legal precedent regarding things that can make them invalid.

The specifics of the nuances are often not common knowledge, though, and since common law isn't exactly written down like a procedural set of absolutely verifiable code, there's always room for interpretation.

Hence, people will write imperfect contracts, and unless someone goes through the effort of bringing one before a judge, other people will abide by them.

I'm not sure what an appropriate resolution is without knowing more detail. Did lawyers tell Ticketmaster management this was okay? Or did Ticketmaster get advice this was wrong but went ahead anyway?

Do state bar associations, which manage lawyers' good standing, get involved? Or does TM go after their own lawyers for legal malpractice?
Height may be normally distributed but that doesnt mean intelligence is. IQ is normally distributed because its transformed to be so; similarly, "being able to reach things" is not a natural transformation with sufficient explanatory power of what could be considered the "underlying distribution". Like IQ its a transformation of height.

If you look at any intellectual skill or ability, the most raw and natural measuremnt is not normal. Going back to chess, if you look at ELO, you might be persuaded that chess ability is normally distributed. But thats wrong because ELO, like decibel, is a log transformation of the underlying measurement. We take logarithms when the the raw thing we are looking is so variable it spans orders of magnitude. So in reality the underlying distribution of chess ability is extremely skewed with a heavy right tail. It spans orders of magnitude.

yes, Q.E.D; the ambiguity of our lingua franca can be an "accumulate toxin" of sorts when trying to articulate higher-order ideas, as words (especially used as analogies) can carry implicit deprecated weight, and without the resilience of good-faith inference, can lead to misunderstandings, mis-alignment, or walking/talking write/right past each other.

Maybe not when you put it that way, but small businesses used to be a larger share of the economy and a more viable "rags to riches" path than they are today. The system is undoubtedly rigged to favor large businesses - most people understand that intuitively but the anti-trust cases the government is currently prosecuting and in many cases winning are hard evidence of how the US really punted on protecting the small businesses from the big ones over the last few decades. You aren't going to find many people in the working class who disagree with the idea that big corporations should be cut down to size and we should have an economic system that's friendlier to people who want to be their own boss.

Your milk/bread comparison is specious and invalid. I might say "As an apple enthusiast -- the fruit kind -- I want you to know that apple seeds have arsenic so don't eat lots of them" without having to disclaim every other fruit existing and possibly toxins found in parts of them. If some true-believer apple fan felt victimized, well that would be bizarre, right?

This is a SQLite guy talking about SQLite to SQLite users. They're describing a feature/possible downside of SQLite that users might want to be aware of. They don't need "balanced" coverage of every other DB because it hurts someone's bizarrely fragile feelings. And as I mentioned elsewhere, almost all "enterprise" databases do do checksums by default, if people really want to lean on this "no one does! Leave SQLite alone" argument.

And Turso is literally a SQLite-based firm. This isn't the aha you think it is.
It's a different case. People who didn't want to move anywhere were virtually forced to, and after realising the struggles of being an immigrant decided to return.

This appears to be the press release the article is based around: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2708

Which appears to have absolutely nothing to do with crypto mines, and everything to do with controlling what foreign people own real-estate near military installations. The only link to crypto currency is the same rule was once used to remove a Chinese company that bought land close to an air force base, and happened to be using that land (at least ostensibly) for crypto mining.

This appears to be the executive order that removed that Chinese company: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-action...

To the extent that the order relates to crypto currency, it appears to be that the company was bringing in non-standard electronic equipment built in China (unsurprising for a crypto mining company), and the US wasn't confident in their abilities to set up a program to monitor it and ensure that the equipment only did what it said and wasn't actually (also) surveillance equipment.

Strange paragraphs like

> Cryptocurrency is a computer intensive process, running trillions of formulas every second, and generally requiring the use of supercomputers. Having one next to a military base that's owned by an adversary is problematic.

appear to be entirely an invention of this article. This is, of course, not the issue with having farms of adversary controlled electronics next to an air force base.
Something isn’t resonating when you express an opinion about due process while being baffled by the concept of national security. Clearly you understand the value of due process, but appear to miss the importance or necessity of protecting that process. I’m not sure how that happens.

I just returned my ReMarkable Pro. I found that split screen was something I wanted and though I had a work around with using my iPad much like Op here, it wasn't ideal.

The big nail in the coffin for me was difficulty integrating into my workflow / application stack. I had to use a couple scripts I hacked together to get the data from ReMarkable into the tools I use regularly. For the cost Invested I decided it was just too much.

The tech wasn't bad, I was impressed with the build quality, and I think there is a market, without a Jailbreak / easy integration it's just not for me at this time. Bummer.
