I love using tcl/tk and Python's tkinter module. The complaint that it looks old-fashioned is addressed partly by using ttk (themed tk) but also just about every aspect of the widgets can be styled using a simple xresources-style

Contrarian view here. I really liked Redis for a long time. Simple, fast data-structures in-memory. That's it. Along the way there have been some nice enhancements like Lua, which solves a lot of the atomicity issues. But somewhere aft

Cancel culture. Note how they don't persecute prominent people/leaders. They go after those who are more vulnerable. What a time to be alive!

Sarah Mei alternates between aggressive, mocking, and combative. She has no sense of humor. Her worldview is unbelievably bleak and threatening. And she views herself as special -- someone "woke". It's terrible to behold. The

I worked at a place with a demanding interview process for about 3 years and the people I worked with were excellent. Nobody is making you do anything you don't want to do. So drop the attitude and the childish entitlement.

If the code of conduct angers you, stop and think -- how did you feel one minute before you read the CoC? Is the problem really the CoC, or is it your collection of beliefs that is causing the problem? Furthermore, are you even affected? Do

Thank you for your comment. It's a shame. Only the most ignorant or naive reader could believe this garbage. My youngest brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia a decade ago. I've watched him cycle through horrible psychotic epis

Classic HN bait. You don't even need to read the comments to know what people will say: "SQLite is a great fit for this type of application. It's a replacement for fopen people. fopen." "What about ALTER TABLE?&quot
