This is a straight up puff piece and very weak journalism. ChatGPT might as well have written it.

We've known about aspirational millennial online types for years, and have been mocking them for about as long. If it sells they'll keep making it.

The nick mullen rant about the yeti cup subreddit is good for a laugh.

I don't know what is driving it but I think those posters really feel they're part of a community. The give gold, repeat the same tired jokes, and feel better. It's insane to me.

Web devs, same reason asyncio got railroaded through.

Python is increasingly trying to cater to the extremely online and loud webdev crowd. Living in an ivory tower is fine if you're inside it.

I doubt any valuable conversation will occur, as the editorialized title seems designed to be provocative. Nonetheless it's clear that these are just a suggestion. Given the enormous good the author's of SQLite have done in the world, can those that disagree with this just get on with their lives? In this world there are all kinds of beliefs.

I have an nwa55, which is notably Not one of the android walkmans. I love it and spend usually 1-2 hours a night listening to music on it before bed. Battery life is incredible.

I'm not sure why they went android though. Begs the question why not just get a phone.

Kyle did it better

Instead of posting on HN about it, spend some time working with the problem.

nginx already comes with: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_image_filter_module.h...

More FUD from attention seeking, for-profit organizations. Even a tiny bit of digging shows this is virtually a non-issue. Look at the gh repo, the pypi stats

Isn't setuptools deprecated now too or on the chopping block?

Nice, I see some rsv4's at the track, still waiting to see a new rs660 so I can bombard the owner with questions. The new R7 is supposed to be "fun" to track, as it's got the more user-friendly mt07 engine, but its nothing compared to the scream of the 6. When mine inevitably blows up I'll probably be looking between the aprilia or maybe a gsxrr.

Twist of the wrist is fantastic, as is the video, which can be found on YouTube. Agree with everything you said, and I'm curious: what do you ride? I've been tracking a mostly-stock R6 for the last 5 years, A the last 3 or 4. One thing I thought I'd add is that with motorcycles, the rider is a significant fraction of the total mass, so your position on the bike can greatly affect the center of gravity. You see guys leaning off the bike (towards the apex of a corner), which allows the bike to stand up taller, thus requiring less lean angle/more contact patch, which allows for higher speed and better grip at corner exit.

Oh and another surprising thing: on track I never use the rear brake when braking hard. Why? Hard braking lifts the rear wheel, and when you use the rear brake it becomes incredibly easy to lose rear traction!

No mention of the Golden Bough, no Jung, no Levi-Strauss.

Author has no idea what they're on about. This amounts to a hot take on an entire field of study, viewed through a very narrow and specific ideological lens. No self awareness.

Why not read the sqlite teams own explanation:

I am happy for the author, but want to warn the credulous that this is a very strange way to approach compression with SQLite. The much more common way is to use SQLite vfs:

https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html

Briefly search for SQLite compressed vfs and you will find many extensions. Some are quite mature.

I get the impression that the author doesn't know about the vfs, as it's not even mentioned in the readme. The clickbait title similarly seems amateurish. Caveat emptor.

Catholic scientists, quite a list:

Wait, this is just a toy project.

As I wrote already,

>I personally believe, though, that we don't live by money (or prestige) alone. I take comfort from the fact that for thousands of years others have shared this belief.

That said I'm not really interested in arguing with you. I'm already familiar with all the rationalizations and arguments. I choose to believe something different, that's all.

I think it's easy to overestimate how many people approve of this attitude, because the ones who do are also extremely loud and present in mass media.

You said it in your first paragraph. You've equated success with some kind of approval from others.

I'm saying some people, like Bill or the dwarf fortress brothers, or countless others, have a different idea of success.

There are plenty of people out there who share Bill Watterson's beliefs about art or their creations. You just don't hear about it because obviously they aren't interested in shilling. I do, however, wish that blatant self-promotion was more frowned-upon by our culture. It's hard to tell when the creator is motivated by sincerity or a cynical desire for personal gain. I personally believe, though, that we don't live by money (or prestige) alone. I take comfort from the fact that for thousands of years others have shared this belief.
