Considering the great lengths the SQLite source goes through to validate correctness (code that rides in critical airplane systems gets no free lunch), I'd be immediately concerned a "SQLite in ______" lacks remotely the same degree of vigor in ensure implementation correctness. The overhead in using cgo feels like a small price to not worry "SQLite in Go" will remain maintained to the same degree the base SQLite project is.


They have `0 errors out of 928271 tests`. The code is mostly auto-generated if I recall, so it's essentially just using translated C from the original SQLite project.


Yeah, this is the benefit of having such a comprehensive test suite. If your implementation passes all the tests then ship it.


Not quite. Cgo makes static linking not possible, reducing cross platform ability.


There is an expectation that where I live won't just be rezoned industrial to make way for more Amazon warehouses.


There's also an expectation that aliens don't invade, and chickens won't mutate into tyrannosaurus rexes with all the 5g going up.

Luckily, none of that will ever happen. You'll get apartments, not warehouses.


Is that 1.4 million shares before, or after, the 5:1 split?


We must keep filing taxes complicated, for the sake of Capitalism! This reads like Huxley.


I've very much wanted to tile them across a wall of my house to make a virtual/dynamic "smart wall" for quite a while. Even a B/W version would be sufficient. Last time I checked in was late 2018 and at that time there wasn't a good sub-six-figure solution. It'd also require a lot of manual work on each cell since the cells didn't have a zero width bezel for gapless tiling.



You forgot https://www.tesla.com/semi for logistics.

Lots of these products and services are nowhere near maturity, but the stock market is the sum of all future revenue streams weighted for probability. There is a potential future in which many of us get our energy from Tesla solar panels, that energy is stored in Tesla battery, we use that to power our autonomous Tesla cars that we either own or call to us with a ridesharing app, all while Tesla owned and operated trucks cross the nation autonomously. I don't think that is a particularly likely outcome, but there is a way for Tesla to get there while there is a near zero chance Volkswagen has a similar future.


That's still a vehicle isn't it? Are semi-truck makers considered logistics companies?


The belief is that they will follow the same path for both ridesharing and trucking. If and when Autopilot is able to handle fully autonomous driving, Tesla will turn on that ability for owners to rent out their vehicle with Tesla taking a cut. Once that is successful, Tesla would then start to build its own internal fleet of autonomous vehicles to rent out and take all the revenue. This Tesla owned fleet would be the second stage because the vehicles themselves have a huge upfront costs. There is no point in incurring that upfront cost until the system has proven to be profitable among existing Tesla owners.


Thanks. I didn't realize or had forgotten it was Tesla that sold the solar panels.


People actually will have to tune into politics since the differences will be diminished and you can't simply push the red or blue button and be done with it. 'aint nobody got time for that!


Highly recommend reading Reamde first if you can. The story is entirely different, but is the same world and comes chronologically first; I felt the continuity added a lot when reading Fall.


And Smart TVs which lack the computational power/storage/memory to serve traffic.


Would you be so kind to pass some to me? Popcorn that is.


I would never risk suggesting people use the legal app popcorntime to pirate copyrighted material.


What is the advantage over good ol' fashion torrenting?

I guess I'm just an old timer....


Torrenting is on the way out, from what I (as a casual torrenter) can tell. There is just a lot less material available. Maybe it's better on private trackers, but I haven't been a member of one in 15 years, nor would I know how to access/be invited to one even if I wanted to.


Its on the way out for casual use but its still the primary method for enthusiast use, Its the best and sometimes only place to get flac/bluray quality and the only reliable place for console games.


Newsgroups and private indexers are generally the best option these days.


I've stopped using torrents 4 years ago maybe, because I discovered usenet will use up my entire connection for not just the new stuff, but also 10 year old movies/series. I've tested it on a server in a local datacenter to try remote plex streaming. It uses the entire gigabit connection from start to finish.

It isn't completely free like torrents though. You'll need to subscribe to a usenet provider for like $6/month and a newsgroup indexer for $10/year. The $80/year is worth it though. I've got it setup so my series automatically download (Sonarr) and whenever I want to download a movie I usually just look it up myself. I've had it automated in the past (Radarr), but it wasn't really necessary. My download client already renames movies and places them in the right directory anyway.


Its more automatic/streamlined. The app looks like an ordinary streaming website and all the torrent stuff is in the background.
