ocithrowaway··on Scaling Relational SQL Databases (2020)
How about keeping transactions short? I thought that would be at the same level of importance as others.
ocithrowaway··on Over 90% of Indian techies in the US are upper-caste Indians
This https://us.macmillan.com/author/sujathagidla/ writer says even Communists are not immune to caste influences. This book is a hard read, but it is worth a read to understand some of the background: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374537821
ocithrowaway··on Tell HN: C Experts Panel – Ask us anything about C
A couple of (I hope easy) requests - 1. Can we add separators in constants (C++ does 0xFFFF'FFFF'FFFF'FFFF any other reasonable scheme is fine too?)

2. I think many compilers already do this, but can the static initialization rules be relaxed a bit?

  static const int a = 0;
  static const int b = a; /* This is not standard C afaik. */
Thank you, CodeandC
