@peternlewis Congrats! That is impressive. My wife misses the days before I discovered Factorio.

OK, storage pouch maker, here’s a lesson in human psychology. If you just hadn’t printed that message on it at all, that would still have been my assumption. I assume it about everything! It’s one of my many standard assumptions.

But because you explicitly said it up front, now I’m suspicious as hell. Maybe it DOES. Also, I’m worried that there was some previous version of the thing, and a horrific accident which you’re now just drawing goddamned attention to!

i was leaving the office and an amazon driver literally burst into the lobby vibrating with excitement telling me to come see this. i love a simple shared human moment more than you can imagine (i also love nods and waves with strangers)

I wanted to have a bash at writing something educational, so here's a blog post on rowids and primary keys in SQLite:

Rowids and Primary Keys

SQLite has the concept of a rowid. A special column with a unique integer identifier for each row. It’s present in most tables, but generally hidden from view. This post gives an overview of how rowids work and their relationship with primary keys.

Never do something in 1 hour that you can automate in 3 hours.

I'm very please to say that Base 3.0 is now available!

If you work with SQLite database files, I think you should check it out.

@ilea It's probably rebuilding indexes - will be interesting to see what happens after

I'm looking for people to try out a new version of Base, my SQLite editor for macOS.

If you'd like to give it a go, send me a private message with your email address (only used for TestFlight, no junk).

Boosts appreciated.
