# This is a modified version of binding.gyp (from node-sqlite3) that allows
# SQLCipher to be *statically linked* for Electron distribution to machines that
# do not have SQLCipher development headers present. If you distribute
# node-sqlite3 with dynamically linked SQLite/SQLCipher bindings (the default),
# your app will error out at runtime on user's machines that do not have
# SQLCipher.
#
# This problem is tricky to test and catch because the app will work fine on
# your machine, because you've probably installed SQLCipher to custom-build
# node-sqlite3. To test that everything is working, package your Electron app,

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Browser histories

Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of sqlite database file somewhere in your home directory.

The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the Cmd+Shft+G in Finder.

Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.
