Can confirm I paid ~$35 for popcorn, drink, and candy across the lake. I paid about $5 more for the Wicked popcorn tin, so this math works out.

Right now I can tell it it passed or failed based on the status, but we use different exit codes to indicate different types of failures, and I would love access to that info without having to scrape logs 🙏

Once you have bookshelves up you can flip some books around to show the white pages until it all averages out to ~middle grey?

I would be nervous to do this because it would trip up webcam auto-exposure and make me look as bright as a supermoon lol

TIL it's not spelled stalagtites. I think I've only ever heard the word spoken by cave tour guides and never seen it.

Thanks, this is great. It will fix two bugs for me.

If you keep this up, the go team might try to keep you sick on purpose, like a nerdy version of The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.

There must be a sweet spot for most applications somewhere between synchronous=NORMAL sqlite and Spanner right? :)

People have been doing a lot of cool stuff with sqlite recently and I want to believe in it.

Yeah that makes sense to me, I would just assume the default risk appetite is as close to zero as possible.

> Would anyone actually expect a WAL to be fsync'd on every request?

I think I would! Can you help me understand why I shouldn't? Durability of transactions seems important but maybe I should be writing applications that assume transactions could be rolled back if the machine crashes?
