@obrhoff I tell our teams they can consider it because I definitely consider it to be “boring” technology but I’m not sure which architectural use cases fit best here.

Say each customer has their own catalog which you need to import? Strongly cordoned off and daily write-heavy loads. Would that work?

SQLite is a tiny, somewhat quirky but incredibly convenient and fast database. For side projects I definitely don’t bother with a “real” database anymore and for many of them I just check the entire .sqlite file into version control for easier deployments.

Here are some tuning tips to get really blazing fast performance out of it.

There was a brief period where Foursquare based recommendations were good and drawn from your wider social graph. Now we’ve gone back to Yelp and Google Maps where reviews and ratings don’t mean anything. A lower than 4 star review on GMaps has netted me a cease-and-desist e-mail for defamation.

That puts personally curated travel docs and word of mouth back in play as Thrillist describes here.

@quinn @rafi0t “German Idealism” is still deep in their culture which amounts to make-belief and wishful thinking.

@rafi0t @quinn German institutions generally don’t publish numbers that make them look bad but if I had to guess I’d say it’s half the average speed of the TGVs.

@quinn For programming I think most of it is cope: Not-technicals already think that coding is a kind of "magic". Of course they're not going to respond rationally when they see a machine that can produce "magic" at will.

It doesn’t matter that he was elected. Democracies need to punish those who try to end democracy very very severely because if they don’t, they open the door wide for whoever wants to try next. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/113505765058920180

@mathias @jk @BayLfD Ja, Schulen müssen ihre eigene IT-Assets haben und da müssen nur ausreichend geschulte IT-Admins eingestellt werden damit die das alles sichern können weil die Cloud ist sehr böse usw. 🤡

@BeAware OK. That's a nice to have feature but by no means essential.

@BeAware This creates a list of toots in the UI?

@BeAware What are "hashtag lists"?

Is there a point to try out IceCubes or Ivory again? Mona is working fine but I’d try them out if there’s a differentiator. #Fediverse

This is an important point also for open source projects: If you are making something that other people rely on, you are in some way morally responsible for it. You don’t only get to take the fun/good parts and then when things become difficult throw up your hands in the air.

@emilygorcenski @moritz It’s totally intentional and malicious. Also the people in Berlin who vote (maybe 25% of the population) accept this situation.
