Double-entry accounting was invented at the time we tracked things with paper and pencil.
sakesun··on Is the golden age of Indie software over?
I agree. As seen in other comments as well, it’s an engineer’s instinct to believe that producing more creates more value. In reality, value is determined by scarcity and usefulness, not output alone.

sakesun··on The Thinking Game Film – Google DeepMind documentary

sakesun··on Ask HN: Why did COM/SOAP/other protocols fail?
And a similar pattern can also be seen with ORMs: the notion of objects has proven less helpful, leading many developers to prefer the query builder and dataframe approach instead.
sakesun··on Ask HN: Why did COM/SOAP/other protocols fail?
Many comments highlight their complexities. Ironically, SOAP itself stands for Simple Object Access Protocol. What strikes me as remarkable is that CORBA, COM, and SOAP all emphasized distributed object communication, while more recent alternatives—REST, JSON, gRPC, and GraphQL—focus instead on message formats and discard the entire notion of distributed objects.
sakesun··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
Have you read the article ? The cost is currently not justified for the benefit.

sakesun··on Microsoft Python Driver for SQL Server
Twenty years ago, when I first used Python 2.5 to connect to MS SQL Server, I had to rely on a library called adodbapi. Back then, I thought the future would move toward OLE DB—but it has since become obsolete.

I think this could be the first step to offer a more aggressive AI service similar to Microsoft Copilot Vision.
sakesun··on Creative Technology: The Sound Blaster
Whenever I see the name Creative Technology or Sound Blaster, the first thing that comes to mind is gratitude for how my parents gave me such awesome childhood memories.
sakesun··on SQL needed structure
When something in SQL becomes cumbersome or difficult to work with, people often tend to create entirely new solutions rather than improving the existing ones. Few developers seem interested in refining SQL itself.
sakesun··on What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?
If I remember correctly Mendix project file format is simply a sqlite db. I thought the designer was lazy but it turns out it's a reasonable decision.

Recently, DuckDB team raise similar question on DataLake catalog format. Why not just use SQL database for that ? It's simpler and more efficient as well.
