I love SQLite's quality and their docs explaining this kind of things. However, not all parts of SQLite have the same level of quality. I was very disappointed when I found bugs related to its JSON functions (and several other similar

Thank you for your feedback! However, I'm really confused. I am color blind (red-green) so I always try to make the life of other color blind people (and myself) easier. I hate red and black. When I was young and in school, I find that

Using RCU as the example to motivate GC is interesting. It is essentially transferring the responsibility of freeing from the writer to the last reader, who cannot be determined when compiling. It makes a lot of sense. But this makes me thi

Who else is clicking "click to start" like me? It turns out you have to choose one of the buttons. I thought they are there to allow me to enable/disable the sound, but they also both act as start buttons. Didn't know a
