Starting a new language with header files (.h)? No thanks. I’d rather leave the 70s behind.

You can have a memory safe SQLite today if you compile it with Fil-C. Only tiny changes required. I almost have it passing the test suite (only two test failures left, both of which look specious).
Did a little reading on Fil-C and…
“Also, it's slow – about 1.5x-5x slower than legacy C.”
So that’s dead on arrival.

One of the things I'm most proud of developing is dark mode for notepad++, even though it was a relatively simple contribution.
Thanks for your contribution. I really like it and switched to it immediately when it came out. The initial theme was not quite right but it’s good now.

better question - does the changelog need to be checked in the first place?
They fixed a bug on a tool that is widely used. In what world is questioning why an organization is checking in a file that you have no context on a “better question”.

This article is pure garbage. Here are some of its sins:
* It says that SQL was introduced in 1974 and could be used for web applications (the web was invented in 1989).
* Then it calls AI “Artistical Intelligence”.
* And it never even talks about the topic of its title: what’s next for SQL.
It is the default choice nowadays. Most people on the Internet are not emotionally invested in whose browser they are using. They just want to use a browser that works on every site.
Unless you’re using Internet Explorer, every browser works on every site. I’ve never had Chrome installed even as a backup. Have yet to find a site that doesn’t work on Firefox.

I have the all black GW-2310FB. I’ll be honest, the gray digits on black background can be a little impractical in low light (it does have a very good backlit if you press the button). But it looks awesome and I have no regrets. Love it. And for those of you that are militant about your IDE’s dark mode, this could be the watch for you too.
