Yet. They will be forced to implement it.

My father pointed out to me that it's a form of battery. In the end we are still consuming energy to make the battery and will burn that fuel at a later time. You could take excess power created by solar or wind and create fuel and store it to burn later when demand goes beyond what the panels can produce during the night.

I've been using rofi now for about 4 years. May look into supplementing dmenu in.

Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

Stares at the 3 NUCs on my desk waiting to be clustered for a local sandbox.

If adding this check to an existing table with millions of records, will it scan the entire table checking all of the records, or just check when the records are inserted or updated.

Of course, I inspect my tires weekly looking for sidewall damage, dry rot, and other various deformities. I also rotate my tires fairly frequently (every 8-10k miles usually coincides with oil change)

> ie 5 years or 50,000 miles

It also depends on the make and where you live. I stretched my Yokohama's out to ~80k miles with good tread still left when I replaced them. But I live in the southern part of the US, so we don't have to deal with snow and ice cycles that cause tires to wear faster.

> it's still failing if they're having as many blackouts as they currently are.

We've had zero blackouts where I live in Texas. Not saying they don't exist, but they haven't been happening in my area and people seem to be very hyperbolic about it.

Because defense spending funds science research. See DARPA.

Really good introduction to it all https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BLKXV68

I have been driving bspwm for the last 4 years, and indeed audio has improved with pipewire.

> I wasted so much time trying to get multiple sqlite queries running at the same time

You were trying to write at the same time right?

> what exactly do you do when you have failure

Depends on the failure. What do you have in mind?

> when more than one process need to acces the DB

Easy, you use `journal_mode` set to `WAL` when you connect to the sqlite database.

> when you need RBAC

If you need RBAC, you aren't going to be using sqlite. In theory you could have your application handle the RBAC part since sqlite is embedded in your application.

Another solution is to leverage unix users and groups and set permissions appropriately for the database file and the application running.

Ah yes, this is why Hackernews is now abandonware. /s

Why would you do that in your emails?

/s

Is this really that surprising?

For linux I use http://www.speedcrunch.org it's fast and simple for most things I need.

I've forgotten all the knots I learned in Boy Scouts. This is a great time for me to spend some time relearning.

If you truly want small and quick, use SQLite as a proof of concept.

> If you open multiple connections to an sqlite db from a single app you are a bad developer, full stop.

Even if you are taking advantage of the built in WAL feature?

Kagi has good results.

Bad choice that netted Chris a bunch of money and made iconic games. It's not stupid if it works.

I've been running in danger mode of RAID6 on a 15 drive NAS here at my home for the better part of 5 years now, and I have had zero issues. The server is also running Arch and I run package updates every two weeks or so. Maybe I am just lucky.

Had me going at the first half.

> Is support for SQLite in the Elixir ecosystem, particularly Ecto, good enough for this?

Why yes it is. I maintain the `exqlite` and `ecto_sqlite3` libraries and it was just integrated in with `kino_db` which is used by `livebook`.

> Does it factor in road maintenance or is it socialized cost as usual?

It most likely does not factor in road maintenance, and the railroad doesn't factor in their maintenance either.

> for practical (slightly easier access for maintenance IIRC)

It's mainly this. A ton of truck drivers love the looks of the old Kenworth cab overs, but the issue is definitely maintenance becomes a nightmare. When the cab tilts forward, it makes access to the radiator more difficult.

There is also the inconvenience that the entire cab has to be tilted forward in order to access it. Which sends anything not secured rolling forward and out of place. Minor, but annoying.

However, the cab overs that dominated the 70s and 80s here in the US still don't have the same sight lines that the euro trucks do now.

How long until we see someone cluster 10 of these in a 4U rack?

I use zim wiki for desktop wiki / knowledge base for my personal stuff. The biggest hurdle I have had with any wiki or knowledge base stuff is to actively using it and improving it. I find myself adding stuff in bursts and then not using it for weeks.
