performance ≠ quality

As another comment points out down in the thread, that's already a problem today with programs storing their config and data in a fixed location.

On the other hand, sqlite supports concurrency and ACID transactions, so it might actually be better at handling concurrent access to shared state

And tabs! Browsers have tabs. None of the "apps" I use seem to comprehend that I might want to look at or do more than one thing at a time with them

This was a great read, thanks! I've naively tried to stop too many beans-and-noses situations in the past.

Can't you do the same in C? You don't really need any headers, you can just declare function prototypes yourself

I'm genuinely curious, what's the reason for filtering out words based on offensive-ness?

I'd imagine it'd be easier to screen the chosen word every day for your criteria and, beyond that, let people type whatever they want as long as what they type is in the dictionary

Not the person you replied to, but like them, I too liked to draw imaginary maps when I was a kid, mainly of medieval towns. I also tend to like the world-building aspects of strategy games, arguably more than the actual strategy parts.

Cities: Skylines have been in my wishlist since shortly after it came out but I never got around to playing it until about a month ago, and... didn't like it at all. It felt too "micro-manage-y" (for the lack of a better word) while also having the pressure of the ticking time.

Needless to say, I was very disappointed after looking forward to it for ~10 years.
