Noob question: isn't it kind of defeating the main purpose of SQLite? Meaning having db running in the same process as the program?

That's true if you talk about content posted on those subs. But I'm yet to be banned from a conservative sub just because I'm involved in wrong other sub. I once posted on a sub criticizing vaccines, my post was not even friendly to the post- I was debunking flawed logic. And I got autobanned in few other places just for posting there.

I have high hopes for the Thunderbird resurrection. I was using it in the 2000s but then Gmail was just so convenient. I hope to make the switch back

New comment by id02009 in "Study finds that buttons in cars are safer and quicker to use than touchscreens"

id02009 — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 20:45:17 +0000

I recently had to rent a car, and oh boy. I knew I need to set up mirrors etc for safety. But I did not foresee the need to familiarize myself with a radio. And when it started blasting a little too loud, finding a volume option on the touchscreen was an adventure when driving on a road i couldn't immediately stop on.

I'm never buying touchscreen car...

40 seems early for a "mental decline" (or so I'm telling myself at 38), but maybe consider a full checkup? Physical and mental maybe?

Do you have any thoughts about how they help with breaking? The "rotation of the wheel rotates the chain" makes me think they'll not help during breaking that much. They would probably slip from under the tire, and the next chain would not go under...

This text captures how I felt about this stuff, but could not put it in words. The "art" feels empty, repetitive, derivative. The text sounds like BS, like a student trying to make up the answer as they go. Today someone in my work channel posted a ChatGPT's text about our company and ompetitors. It was all wrong, but sounds "probable".

Thank you!

Which companies out there addopted Basecamp's ShapeUp?

id02009 — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 16:04:11 +0000

I'm reading ShapeUp and what's described there sounds awesome. 6 weeks work + 2 weeks cooldown. Well prepared (shaped) ideas, design work highly integrated (instead of handed over to devs to implement). Small teams of 2 devs + 1 designer. Feels like very energetic place to work.

Sounds too good to be true. Are you working in a company that adopted it and could share your experience?

"Real time relationships: the logic of love" (https://amzn.to/3eEwMqj) the best self-knowledge book that I've read so far. Helped me with better communication with my loved ones.

id02009 — Sat, 09 Jul 2022 09:50:46 +0000

I view strict DRY (and only DRY) adherence asa sign of less experienced devs. I was like this in my early days, almost religiously following this creating wrong abstractions. Thanks a lot for those examples.

This one flew right above me, what does that mean? It's it something like driving open convertible is referred to as fresco? Where I come from fresco was just a brand of cheap wine that students drank when we dabbling in sophistication an inch above vodka and beer...

> Absent fathers and broken family units are major factors for many social ills. It’s obvious but no one wants to talk about it.

This is just not true. It's almost constantly talked about, it's even a trope in movies, jokes, singers saying about it.

What is really not discussed is the other side of the equation. Who chooses those men?

Are women equally capable to make moral choices (I believe they are). Or are they just kind-of-sentient robots that are programmed to have kids, will grab any man that will make them pregnant and deserve only compassion when that "random choice" does not turn out to be a good dad?

I think (in terms of culture) this is closer (than what the author claims) to the truth: Complain about men not pulling their weight. Never mention women responsibility. It's taboo to discuss it openly in a good faith. So now we have a fringe claiming men are only victims of women evil, which is another side of this stupid-coin. We can't meet in the middle anymore.

I remember W3schools being an excellent resource closer to the beginning of my career (a decade ago?), but now I barely ever enter. But I always thought it's me who outgrew it not that it became worse...

I wonder if the constant cat and mouse play between Google algorithm updates and dark SEO optimizers could be fixed by a plethora of search engines without one specific dominant one?

I think designer's easily forget that trends exist, and what people want is a mix of what's useful but also new and popular.

Really? Can you share more about this mechanism?

I actually noticed someone opposite (are maybe it's the same mechanism) in the area I live in:

House sale prices are rising like everywhere else, but rents stay mostly flat.

I'd love to learn more about it.

> Even the thought that anything would be communicated

The fact that the director of communication never says he disagrees with the actual sentiment tells me all I need to know about their culture.

He's either confused and claims he doesn't know what the email in question is. Or he's expressing disappointment about the communication.

He is against communicating such things, but he failed to communicate that tearing people that way is disgusting.
