I don't understand why, if you want to use this, would you run it on RPi instead of just on your computer? Is it for realtime guarantees (ie. no OS updating in the background)?

Usually it takes less than 5 minutes to review the shell script that downloads stuff.

Do you guys remember the smalltalk toolkit posted here a while ago which their creators made specifically for help understanding new codebases?

My dumb ass read it as "all it takes is that you workout", just with the more fancy pronoun 'one'

while i'm currently using sqlite, since it has only one write transaction at a time, if I understand correctly, opening a tx and doing outside requests while in the transaction could potentially block your whole application if the outside requests keep timing out... so you kinda need to watch out for that

other people use the stupidest possible javascript to launch product and really focus on product and marketing

yet other people stay as far away from computers as possible and focus on more human activities

you just do what you're drawn to naturally
