    A new fusion experiment has set a record for the strongest steady

    SQLite provides lower operational complexity. It=
    is the best choice
    for getting applications running on a single machine.=
    However, SQLite
    becomes less appealing if a project requires multiple ma=
    chines, has a

    these
    cases, developers are better off using a more traditional database=

    Apple's macOS App Store is automatically=

    for apps to ask Apple's
    iTunes Store to install another app. The string e=
    xists in the urllib
    parser in Python's standard library. The discovery of=
    this issue led
    to a discussion among Python developers about whether 'ac=
    ceptable to

    rs
    decided to implement a `--with-app-store-compliance` configuration

    <strong>Gotchas with SQLite in Prod= uction (8 minute read)</strong>
    </span>



    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    SQLite provides lower operational compl= exity. It is the best choice for getting applications running on a single m= achine. However, SQLite becomes less appealing if a project requires multip=
    le machines, has a write-heavy workload, or has long-running transactions. =
    In these cases, developers are better off using a more traditional database=
    like MySQL or Postgres.

    <strong>Python grapples with Apple = App Store rejections (7 minute read)</strong>
    </span>



    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Apple's macOS App Store is automaticall=
    y rejecting apps that contain the string 'itms-services' - the URL scheme f=
    or apps to ask Apple's iTunes Store to install another app. The string exis=
    ts in the urllib parser in Python's standard library. The discovery of this=
    issue led to a discussion among Python developers about whether 'acceptabl=
    e to app stores' should be a design goal for CPython. The developers decide=
    d to implement a `--with-app-store-compliance` configuration option to remo=
    ve the problematic code.
