I should make it open source...
So it is different if there is or if there is not a line break.
How do you manage it? Double line break?
You should put it into a blog post that I am sure a lot of people will love to read it!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
There is a sample system that every once in a while it ask an employee to check that you enter everything correctly.
I guess that if you repeatedly make conveniently expensive “mistakes” there will be repercussions, but never experienced any issue.
Even though, it happens that I made small mistakes.
Syncthing is not backup but more synchronization. But for simple stuff is more than good enough. Especially for pictures that I want to keep forever.

The nice thing is that S3QL allows setting a secret key, so your files just get encrypted before to be pushed on the cloud.
But even a chat message or an introduction does wonders.
My point was that, from the tale, I don't think the author did enough to actually accomplish the task and that the complaints on the internet public square is hardly justified.
Said so, I find it a well written piece that may be useful to younger engineers approaching these kinds of dynamics.
I would find extremely interesting a similar article comparing when stuff goes well and when they move at high speed highlighting the differences of approaches and results.
There was a piece few days ago about picking co-founder using the army way.
Beside being a well written piece, it made clear one thing.
The role of leaders in an organisation is to get stuff done, despite rules, regulations, hierarchy and all the whistle and bells that an organisation need to create in order to exist and sustain itself.
(Which doesn't means disregard rules, it means find a way to make stuff happens in the context of the rules.)
In the article there are dozen of things that are just expected given the conditions. But there are also a lot of stuff that the author could have done differently in my opinion.
For instance figure out the resources that was suppose to create the application, pass by its office, offer its a coffee and communicate clearly why the things is important and how important it is and what is the goal of the project and finally reassure the resources by putting in whatever work tracking system all the details.
These kind of human work and relationships building is fundamental.
It seems easy to you just ask another department "please do this" and when naturally things takes too long to look reasonable complaining on the internet.
There is a world of difference between:
1. Some random guy wants a boring dashboard and it is not very clear the reason and the why.
2. That cool engineer has a real problem that really bother it and its whole team and I can easily fix it.
Yeah it is not a scalable way to solve problems but dumping work on some oscure Jira board is not scalable neither.
Or just affiliate with some shop that sell the parts?
That it is my opinion, and you can discard it.
But I believe that if we tax small business a certain amount, big corporations should pay, at the very least, the same amount.
Again, it is not a scientific argument, it is a political one, and honestly I don't want to be dragged in a technical discussion about taxation.
Life is made to be lived, not for working.
We should increase taxes income by making everybody pay their fair share, and these include multinational corporations, and implement some sort of UBI. Where people can have a decent life without being forced to work if it is not a choice.
Can the author let us know if he is happy with the business results of these articles?
In this way the can get rid of the keys on their servers and still find pedo pictures.
Then HN taught me that any company storing images on their infrastructure in the US must report pedophilic images to the US government.
At this point, the approach taken by Apple seems like the best one to me, if you don't want to store pictures in clear on your servers.
What other technical approach are people advocating for?
Another point it is to try to change the law, but this is beyond the scope of the conversation.
It is clearly a no-trivial project, no other company is doing it, and it will be one of the rare case of a company doing something not for shareholders value but for "goodwill".
I am really not understanding the reasoning behind this choice.
Don't fall in the trap of social media / social-relationship.
Girls on TikTok are beautiful as actress are beautiful, it takes a tons of effort to look so attractive effortlessly!
Similar deal on tinder, maybe even worse.
Go out and bound with real people in real life! Do the effort of being the first one to reach out.
Feel ok with having friends that are busy and that may not reply immediately.
But meet people outside internet, and you will be happier.
Insertion performance on a single table are very very hard to optimize.
A single process looping it is your best bet.
I would just increase the batch size, which is the most influent factor.
Then another point... When you do batches, you do
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
for i in range(1, 50):
execute_stmt
COMMIT;
You do not create a long list of parameters.https://github.com/avinassh/fast-sqlite3-inserts/blob/master...

Is there any real reason or credible threat that the small island could damage the US?
It seems like US is holding the grudge way too long.
My clients seems rather happy with the project.
