doomleika··on SQLite is not a toy database
Yeah, still I would really wish SQLite is a feather weight RDBM system than almost-but-not-quite-your-typical-RDBMS the better `fopen`.

Having a tool like this would made my life whole lot easier, well, one can dream.

doomleika··on SQLite is not a toy database
Two major gripe I had with SQlite

1. SQLite doesn't really enforce column types[0], the choice is really puzzling to me. Since schema enforced type check is one of the strong suit of SQL/RDMBS based data solution.

2. Whole database lock on write, this make it unsuitable to high write usages like logging and metric recording. WAL mode will help but it will only alleviate the issue, you will need row based lock solution eventually.

Just like the offical FAQ said, SQLite competes with fopen[1] instead of RDBMS systems.

Well if US doesn't want China to intervene US could just let Taiwan have their nuclear weapon in the 80s, which will completely remove Military option from China, but US didn't.[1]

Thanks for the correction, however

> The United States does not support Taiwan independence.

That speaks volumes on US' instance.

I lived long enough to see that Taiwan is mere a pawn to attack China. If dropping a nuclear bomb on Taiwan could set back China, US will do it in a heartbeat. This is how the world politics works. Always have been.

Like most Southeast Asian country. Taiwan people put westerner on pedestal. It doesn't matter if you White, Black, if you came from the West, you automatically are one of the "good" person.

Simple test, if you go talk to anyone on the street, in English, they will try to answer in bad English(if they can). this is especially true for young/highly educated demography like me because we are educated in western value since very young.

If you came from southeastern, say, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam. There's very good chance you see people look them in distain. Because those are usually imported labor for manual tasks.

Indeed, just like when US were standing with Hong Kong people in 2019 and turned down most of the asylum request when those people really need them.

Action speaks louder than words.

It's awesome because you are a westerner.

That's whole lots of nothing by a soon-to-be replaced Secretary of the State.

Everything is still the same, the One China Policy[1] hasn't changed: There's only One China and Taiwan belongs to China. Everything still going through non-official channel which is AIT. Nothing has changed.

At that scenario you might shoot right through someone's brain.

There's significant high chance to shoot through arteries at leg shots.

doomleika··on Hong Kong leader to announce formal withdrawal of extradition bill
Now HKG have gave them an inch. I hope they have plenty of miles to spare.

The "five demands, no less" itself is impossible for HKG. EB itself is already dead months ago. This will only embolden they rioters.

10 dollars on 0907 will be even worse.
