Bytecode Is Smaller The bytecode generated by SQLite is usually smaller than the corresponding AST coming out of the parser. During initial processing of SQL text (during the call to sqlite3_prepare() and similar) both the AST and the bytecode exist in memory at the same time, so more memory is used then. But that is a transient state. The AST is quickly discarded and its memory recycled

There’s an abyss to cross between using an app and modifying it with code by calling APIs. The user has to switch to a whole other paradigm including setting up a development environment. Consequently, few users take the step from using a tool to customizing or making their own tools.

by porting ffmpeg to the zig build system, it becomes possible to compile ffmpeg on any supported system for any supported system using only a 50 MiB download of zig. For open source projects, this streamlined ability to build from source - and even cross-compile - can be the difference between gaining or losing valuable contributors.

Hey! I have seen three cutters assigned to some resources. How can that be, if you can onlyhave up to two cutters?

Call numbers may contain either one or two cutters.

Avoid using a 1 unless specifically instructed to do so in the schedules or in the CSM. If youfind that it is absolutely necessary, never use it as the final digit of a cutter because youmight have to use a zero in the cutter for the next resource. Instead, add another digit.And finally, avoid using a 2 if at all possible. Using a 2 can force the use of a 1, which canforce the use of a 0.

From reading the book, I learned that Cutler had the same mentality for his OS and, in fact, the system wasn’t ported to x86 until late in its development. He wanted developers to target non-x86 machines first to prevent sloppy non-portable coding, because x86 machines were already the primary desktops that developers had. In fact, even as x86 increasingly became the primary target platform for NT, the team maintained a MIPS build at all times, and having most tests passing in this platform was a requirement for launching.

This sounds ridiculous, right? Why wasn’t there a CI/CD pipeline to build the system every few hours and publish the resulting image to a place where engineers could download it? Ha, ha. Things weren’t this rosy back then. Having automated tests, reproducible builds, a CI/CD system, unattended nightly builds, or even version control… these are all a pretty new “inventions”. Quality control had to be done by hand, as did integrating the various pieces that formed the system.

Now, more than 30 years later, NT is behind almost all desktop and laptop computers in the world.

Handles, in contrast, can be homed on any handle server and transferred at will -- so another organization can take over handles for a merging or dying organization. Handle namespace names are not related in any way to the hostname of their home server except perhaps by coincidence.

In order to guarantee persistence, the DOI Foundation has built a social infrastructure on top of the technical infrastructure of the Handle System. Persistence is a function of organizations, not of technology; a persistent identifier system requires a persistent organization, agreed policies and defined processes.

I might point out that the definite and formal techniques and procedures provided us by social heritage mostly involve specialized and idealized aspects of the workload and needs of the individual. There apparently never has been an over-all or “system” approach to the problem of assisting the individual in being effective in his over-all problem-solving role.

I have written down all these thoughts are as ‘remarks’, short paragraphs, of whichthere is sometimes a fairly long chain about the same subject, while I sometimes makea sudden change, jumping from one topic to another, – it was my intention at first tobring all this together in a book whose form I pictured differently at different times. Butthe essential thing was that the thoughts should proceed from one subject to another in anatural order and without breaks.After several unsuccessful attempts to weld my results together into such a whole, Irealised that I should never succeed.

As seen in the table above, namespace URIs tend to be long and cryptic, with lots of punctuation and case-sensitive text. In this instance the W3C has compounded the problem by adding dates to ensure that the namespace URIs are unique, as if it were likely that the W3C would create another "XSL/Transform" or "xhtml" namespace in the future. While namespace URIs may be guaranteed to be unique, they are also guaranteed to be impossible to remember. Quick, without checking, can you remember if the namespace URI for W3C XML Schema ends with "xmlschema", "XML/Schema", or "XMLSchema"? Was the namespace URI for SVG allocated in 1999, 2000, or 2001?

Eventually, there will be different ways of paying for different levels of quality. But today there some things we can do to make better use of the bandwidth we have, such as using compression and enabling many overlapping asynchronous requests. There is also the ability to guess ahead and push out what a user may want next, so that the user does not have to request and then wait. Taken to one extreme, this becomes subscription-based distribution, which works more like email or newsgroups. One crazy thing is that the user has to decide whether to use mailing lists, newsgroups, or the Web to publish something. The best choice depends on the demand and the readership pattern. A mistake can be costly. Today, it is not always easy for a person to anticipate the demand for a page. For example, the pictures of the Schoemaker-Levy comet hitting Jupiter taken on a mountain top and just put on the nearest Mac server or the decision Judge Zobel put onto the Web - both these generated so much demand that their servers were swamped, and in fact, these items would have been better delivered as messages via newsgroups. It would be better if the ‘system’, the collaborating servers and clients together, could adapt to differing demands, and use pre-emptive or reactive retrieval as necessary.

Rich text, such as bold and italic, among other examples, shouldn't be optional or considered extraneous to language. The fact that computing technology has gone so long ignoring these essential parts of communication is bewildering. You can send a text message from your phone including a variety of customizable emojis in various skin tones, but basic text formats used for literally hundreds of years are either impossible to enter, or lost in transmission. There's more than subtle a difference between, "You really should do something," and "You really should do something". Having to write out ideas using plain text with weird symbols such as _ this _ or * this * is truly a loss, and in the 21st century, completely inexcusable.
