They are open-core. The offline-write feature (libsql::Builder::new_synced_database) basically does not work with the bare `sqld` server on their `libsql` github repository.

In fairness though their `libsql::Builder::new_remote_replica` works with the bare `sqld`

It took me around 10yrs to be able to identify the notes immediately just by listening. I didn't really had to study it to learn ... it just came naturally for me. It correlates easily to the music theory that you know, which is the main foundation that you need to get acquainted with.

I play a lot of instruments but bass is my main instrument.

Interesting. Did you have a particular moment when you just "got it", or was it a gradual build up of ability over the 10 years?

For me, it suddenly clicked after a decade or so. The same thing happened with improvisation and keeping excellent time. I felt like I was always struggling until one day whatever I heard in my head came out my fingers.

It's just that the process is very gradual and takes a long time. I suppose the 10k hour rule applies here.

exactly my thoughts.

For me it was gradual build up. Also I forgot to mention that I never put that much time into learning music theory. I was too busy with programming (that's why we're here right? haha)

Great ffi perf too! From the benchmark over at github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead, julia is on par with luajit.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Julia and LuaJIT's JITing strategy really shine here, calling shared libraries faster than C itself!

Tup is a gem. I use both tup and gn+ninja.

Tup is just a generic build system that can apply to any input whereas gn is focused only on c/c++.

Good question. Hopefully the google folks have plans to improve their dart FFI. I mean, if Mike Pall can do it ... :-)

yay I made front page (finally?).

Hey hn folks. I purchased a mini pc from lazada with N4200 as processor. The seller basically sent me a downgraded version (N3450) and quickly changed the description in their store after taking my order. Obviously I returned the item with the reason stated. But they declined.

Here's the important part.

If lazada stored the history of the updates (description/etc), it would be pretty easy to catch the fraudsters who are basically doing bait-n-switch.

> that actually have safe, strong consistency

Based on what data? Even hazelcast had that same claim before they got exposed?

I've only seen 2 systems that did rigorous in-house fault-tolerant testing (foundationdb and cockroachdb) and later when "jepsen-verified", they actually backed their claim or had few modifications to uphold their claim.

Atomix has a Jepsen test suite[1], which while not perfect, has helped fix the bugs that existed in the Raft implementation.

I would use it. I'll keep this in mind when the time comes. Btw, What css framework do you prefer working on these days?

> in fact the Oracle DB has the JVM integrated into it as a component

So java stored procedures inside oracle?

Yes, since the early days of Java.

Microsoft has the same with .NET on SQL Server.

Cool. They already have PL/SQL though, so I'm wondering what's their motivation to adding a full jvm inside their process.

Back in the .com days they also had Perl.

Is also a way to extend the SQL languages, and to bring existing code into the server side.
