And so does growing massive amounts of pot and mining bitcoin. Will these things stop? Probably not.

Not lucky- just deceptive. Deception is what scammers do, and they do it because it’s guaranteed to make money, not because they hope to get lucky. I’m not advocating this. Doing t…

The argument made is seemingly harmless, but historically has been proven incompatible with morality. For example, one could argue those that are poor or uneducated are that way be…

I use junk drawers, which scale to available drawers, after which you buy more storage or a larger house.

If your boss is in your house using your shitbowl.

Sharding is not really scaling for many, and I think despite your good intentions you may be misleading others. I’m glad you like the setup but people flocking to SQLite scares me.…

Did you read the paper? https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.14383.pdf

I made the mistake of continually thinking my problem was those who led, then realizing it was me, then losing most of my self-confidence. I recommend not doing what I did. If it’s…
