Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?

I periodically hear about projects that use/have used sqlite as their sole datastore. The theory seems to be is that you can test out an idea with fewer dependencies (and cost) and that it scales surprisingly far. There are even distributed versions being built for reliability in the cloud: dqlite by canonical (of Ubuntu fame) and rqlite Given the complexity it seems like there are use cases or needs here that I'm not seeing and I'd be very interested to know more from those who've tried. Have you tried this? Did it go well? Or blow up? Were there big surprises along the way? - https://sqlite.org - https://dqlite.io - https://ift.tt/FJ5CVXh

New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates

Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates 449 by SimingtonFCC | 144 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I’m FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, and I’m here to discuss security updates for IoT devices and how you can make a difference by filing comments with the FCC. As you know, serious vulnerabilities are common in IoT, and it often takes too long for these to be patched on end-user devices—if the manufacturer even bothers to release an update, and if the device was even designed to receive them. Companies may cease supporting a device well before consumers have stopped using it. The support period is often not communicated at the time of sale. And sometimes the end of support is not even announced, leaving even informed users unsure whether their devices are still safe. I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time [1]. I can't bring such a proposal
