There's much more to differentiate Rust and Go than support for generics and error handling verbosity. In my mind (and experience) they don't even occupy the same problem space.

I'm not sure anyone will see this because this post is over a day old, but what can someone traveling really do about it? If you refuse they'll just refuse to let you board your plane. I usually (especially now during a pandemic) don't fly when there's no reason for me to, so refusing me access to my flight is a pretty good way to make me comply, illegal or not.

About a month ago I had to be in court at a certain time and from past experience (filing and getting paperwork to the court) I knew they'd make you take off your belt if it had metal on it. That day I specifically wore a belt with no metal on it so I wouldn't have to take it off, but it didn't make any difference. The sign at security said "no metal objects" and then gave a list of example items with metal on them, belt included, and that was what the security agent pointed to when telling me I still needed to take my belt off. I objected, telling her my pants would fall down if I did and that the list was an EXAMPLE of metal objects, but the only response I got was that if I wanted to I could complain to someone at some other time. Another agent chimed in that they require you to take your belt off because "people could be hiding a knife in their belt", as if that made any sense at all. Isn't that what a metal detector is for in the first place? Anyway, I had no option but to take off my belt or I just wouldn't get to court on time. I let my pants fall down (I decided to do this earlier because I knew it was a possibility) and waddled through security with my pants around my ankles.

So yeah, what could I have done in that case? Just miss my court date?

SQLite is incredibly ubiquitous and used in BILLIONS of devices and applications around the world.

Just because it's not used in web applications as much doesn't mean it's not production ready. It's used in many hardened systems, which I think they'd avoid if it wasn't production ready.

I'd pay $1000 for a domestic flight with leg room and a slightly wider seat. I flew first class out to San Diego recently and I would have done it on the way home as well but they wanted $2500 more for the same flight the other direction. That's just ridiculous. Flights in the past were never that expensive for the same comfort.

I looked at that page and I just wanted to clarify something for myself. Does this mean you can't do a headless server since you need VS Code and some plugins? I like the idea and it would definitely be a strong argument to go back to VS Code but I was hoping I could just run some kind of server on a terminal-only VM.

"By now it's safe to assume that most developers will know about SQL injection and know how to handle it. Well, except for all those people that still write software susceptible to them."
