scadge··on SQLite should have (Rust-style) editions
> I don't think I need to explain why it's a bad idea for a database to be so careless about data validation.

...Meanwhile MongoDB being successful for years with no sign of decline.

scadge··on The lost joy of music piracy
Sometimes it's cheaper to break the law and pay a fine, than to do everything by law.
scadge··on Nearly two decades of satellite images available in Nasa’s Worldview
Seems like a viable idea. Do you have any presentable results yet?
scadge··on The ozone layer is healing
I hate this magazine narrative style, where each consecutive paragraph or two tell totally the same but in different words and referring to another Mr. or Ms. Scientist. The whole article could easily be 10 times shorter.

But the news is good.

scadge··on India’s IT industry laid off more than 56k employees this year
There are approx. 3.1 million employees[1] in India's IT sector. Is 56k (which is lower than 2%) so much?

scadge··on India’s IT industry laid off more than 56k employees this year
> For Indian techies, 2017 was the stuff of nightmares.

I still believe qualified engineers had no problems keeping their job or finding a new one. In any country.

No wonder that unqualified employees will always be laid off at some time.

scadge··on Introducing the Crypto University
This should've been named "The Royal Bitcoin University" judging from the logo.

Why not just create a course on Coursera or something?

scadge··on How I sold 1.6M pixels of my future iPhone X‘s lock screen
Yeah, me too. This article is a heads-up for those who think the idea of million dollar homepage can't be new anymore.
scadge··on Libdill: Structured Concurrency for C (2016)
Sure, I understand. Was just curious about how they both relate, and now I get it.
scadge··on Libdill: Structured Concurrency for C (2016)
I think it's fair to say that Go was hardly the first language to implement the concept of coroutines[1]. Probably the only merit of Go here is the short and convenient name of the 'run' method.

scadge··on Libdill: Structured Concurrency for C (2016)
So it looks like libuv could use libdill, right?
scadge··on Libdill: Structured Concurrency for C (2016)
I read that NodeJS is written in C with the same concept in its core - asynchronous on one core (thread) with interruptions. How does it compare to libdill?
scadge··on Cyclomatic complexity of software
Interesting if there is any research showing that reducing the cyclomatic complexity of one's code leads to speed-ups in development, better code readability etc.? I know it's kind of obvious, but still would be great to see the numbers and statistics.
scadge··on A Year of Developer Journals with jrnl.sh
Is it capable to do basic formatting, like making lists, quotes etc? I see there's a possibility to export into Markdown, but does it parse those formatting elements or should I write them in MD already?
scadge··on Show HN: Moocha.io – A search engine for MOOCs
Wow the speed is truly awesome - 125ms for the main page and 169ms for the search.
scadge··on Nginx Unit
Is it an alternative to Docker Compose in some sense?
scadge··on The art of over-engineering your side projects
I believed over-engineering IS the point of personal side-projects.
scadge··on Pattern Matching for Java
Along with with Value Types [1] Java 10 could be an even more significant improvement than Java 8 was :)

scadge··on Like Tweeting, but You Can't Use the Letter E
Replacing 'e' with similar symbols like '3' is also not allowed. That's the point :)

scadge··on A Minimal Perfect Hash Function Library by Thomas Müller (Author of H2)
It would be a big problem to support such a library. It's enough to have a Maven library to simplify the integration, though I'm not sure if it's available now. Or you can build a jar and use it - that's how you manage integrations in Java :)
scadge··on Bigger brains are not always better
There's already one, actually just appeared :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralink
scadge··on Fuck You Startup World
Yeah true, I've read several while writing this comment.
