I'm pretty sure, if you are offended by the word God, you can substitute another word, such as "Ayn Rand" or "the human intellect". Nobodys insisting that you have to do...anything really.

You wanna know how to tell if someone is an atheist?

> I'm an atheist

Oh wait, it doesn't matter -- they'll be sure to tell you.

If the code of conduct angers you, stop and think -- how did you feel one minute before you read the CoC? Is the problem really the CoC, or is it your collection of beliefs that is causing the problem? Furthermore, are you even affected? Do you contribute bug reports or patches? Follow the SQLite mailing list? Is anything here designed to prevent you from continuing to do so?

SQLite's author is a spiritual guy. There's nothing wrong with him borrowing from spiritual sources to describe his ideal for how he wants the SQLite community to conduct itself.

Looks like the speed comes from using lmdb rather than sqlites own storage layer.

For the applications I use, gtk3 did not add any significant improvement over gtk2. Often it was the opposite (goodbye menubars anyone?). It seemed like all my dank gtk themes broke every time there was a minor version bump.

ctypes is pretty slow in my experience. Cython is a nice alternative. Native speed and datatypes where you need them, plain old python anywhere else.

Yes! I had a completely surprising and visceral surge of feeling when I saw the screenshot of the UI. So many lazy summer days holed up with my 286 making silly shit. It seemed deeply magical. Like a portal to a secret world.

I am a literature major working as a software engineer, and I agree! Humanity has a very long history of story-telling. Often stories can tell us more than rational argument, since they hook-up with our intuition (rather than logic). This isn't to say there aren't laws in the Universe, but that the way we understand things is often emotional and intuitive. A good story can say so much about the human experience.

Huey: https://huey.readthedocs.io -- even simpler :) redis or sqlite, mit license, greenlet/thread/process worker model support.

It's a hackernews meme. Just ignore it and move on.

Thank you for your comment. It's a shame. Only the most ignorant or naive reader could believe this garbage.

My youngest brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia a decade ago. I've watched him cycle through horrible psychotic episodes for years until he gained insight into his illness and agreed to start taking medicine. It's only since then that he's been freed from the voices that tormented him, and the paranoid delusions he would obsess over. He would tell you that there's nothing spiritual about the symptoms of his illness.

I'd also note that the guy who posted this also recently posted an article on LSD micro-dosing. Tells you a bit about where he's coming from...

The terminal web browser w3m can display actual images pixel for pixel in the terminal. Ranger, a terminal file browser, leverages this to do image previews in the term. It's quite cool!

More details, including other methods, are described here:

Nor is reading (or writing) blog posts. Or comments.

Classic HN bait.

You don't even need to read the comments to know what people will say:

"SQLite is a great fit for this type of application. It's a replacement for fopen people. fopen."

"What about ALTER TABLE?"

"It's just a toy database, it doesn't even support concurrent writers"

----- "WAL mode"

"Hey, golang, rqlite"

----- "Whoa I wrote something similar for a ..."

----- "Why would you use this? Just use postgres"

"SQLite is the best database ever"

"SQLite is the worst database ever"

My youngest brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 4 years ago (though it took over a year of him having symptoms before getting a diagnosis). It's been incredibly difficult -- he's had a couple runs through the hospital and it was terrifying to see him there, and to see the confusion in his face as to why he was there. Through the wonderful care of my Mother, he's been stable for the last two years and has insight into his illness, which means he takes his meds and generally is open about talking about when he's symptomatic. It's a constant battle, though, and it's hard to face the fact that he'll never get better.

My wife and I attended a 12-week NAMI course (taught by my Mom, actually) and it was incredibly beneficial. The course is designed for anyone coping with a family member with a mental illness. Check out http://www.nami.org/ for resources and to see if there is a course in your area.

I use SQLite for web apps and I don't think there's any reason not to, since my sites receive around 200/300 pageviews a day on average.
