  • Because Rust didn’t exist when sqlite was started?

    I’m hoping that’s one of the first lines on the page

    Edit:

    Okay there is a section about Rust that it’s at the top of

    None of the safe programming languages existed for the first 10 years of SQLite’s existence. SQLite could be recoded in Go or Rust, but doing so would probably introduce far more bugs than would be fixed, and it may also result in slower code.







  • Nope sadly, AI needs GPUs and it makes up the bulk of sales of these chips now.

    It would be suicide for any of the companies that could make these processors to not go after the biggest market. The result of a company not doing that would be watching all their competitors grow and advance their products whilst their company’s value drops and products stagnate, possibly to a point that recovery to competitiveness would be hard if not impossible.


  • I find this kind of sentiment a bit funny, because we already have much worse

    Credit scores are opaque ratings of people kept by private organisations used to refuse business to people effectively based on their spending & borrowing behaviour, many of these will now happily encourage you to link your accounts so they get itemised data from some people now too.

    This could literally be happening today and they would just need to say “sorry your credit isn’t good enough”. Credit score factors into your ability to rent & buy accommodation in the UK already.

    There’s no reason for these companies to switch to using a government ID for these kinds of decisions because that would have to be a more transparent process and less easily used to their benefit.

    FWIW, I’m against mandatory ID even though we effectively already have it in the form of national insurance. IMO the ID being digital should be a non issue as long as it’s optional (there also needs to be a free physical version of any national identity for those without phones).






  • Tbf aviators are a classic style that doesn’t fall into the same category IMO, if you dress appropriately for the look (and have the right shaped head for them ofc, there’s not really a one-style-fits-all for sunnies), aviators can look pretty good

    The other main versatile style you see a lot is the wayfarer kind popularised by Ray-Ban
