Wild statement, imo. There is no better open source database, so I'm very curious what you prefer and what your use cases are...

> Gretchen Whitmer

A sitting politician was nearly kidnapped by a group of people who all wanted to torture her, but let's focus on the one FBI agent.

That's a great point. We should build a network that tracks all cops to make sure they don't get up to no good while off duty.

If only that group would consider that its the children being watched, maybe they would think of the children then...

Buying, making, and owning socks are not against the law in the usa, so socks are already compliant with the suggestion.

Why would you give ammunition to someone who can shoot you with no negative consequences? They prove over and over that they can't be trusted, so the smart move is to take them at their word, and not trust them.

This sounds like the HBO Common Side Effects almost to a tee

"You knew there was a problem, and didn't fix it? You're here because I don't know programming. Fired."

I think we've worked with very different kinds of people...

I wish politics didn't revolve so heavily around party bias. There's nothing about this that would appeal strictly to democrat politicians or their constituents.

Do people normally see something a voting block does, and just accept/reject that view without even reading anything else?

But maybe that's the result of paywalls. We've trained people not to read anything past the headline...

I have no understanding of your viewpoint. I wish I did, it sounds interesting. I do like a Crafting Interpreters or Mythical Man Month...

But I don't understand how those could not only be held to the same level as The Hobbit, but that you seem incapable of even reading Animal Farm.

Do you enjoy any fictional media? TV, movies, plays, interactive murder mystery dinners, tabletop games (d&d, etc)?

I mostly use redis for pub/sub communication between services. If the app wasn't a collection of knative functions, and instead a monolith, it would be cool to also use redis for event based communication.

Full agree. It certainly feels like people are afraid of imagined threats, there just is no way there's so much rampant crime that people's living space is broken into so often, that surveiling everything all the time is a valid solution.

Like, I live in Detroit, and we don't have enough crime to justify it.

I've never heard of that before, is it common behavior?

Yes, nobody ever actually lives in them, they're just 24/7 airbnbs with a cleaning service.

And I don't think any of that documentation or warnings should be applied to covered calls.

I think it comes from decades of fear mongering over how "dangerous" stocks and options are. If you can, instead, explain to an llm what your goals are, it can set up a simple buy-and-hold for you.

Basically what investment agents used to do in the 80s-90s where the only way to make a trade was to call someone at the broker and explain what you want.

Taking a step back, I see this as what llms are actually useful for. Empowering people to do things they might otherwise need to study and research for a few weeks to do. When ultimately, that research is just unnecessary gatekeeping.

> As an example, what innovative amazing world-changing products have Google or Meta launched in the past decade

Kubernetes is at 11 years ago, and is huge enough to be included there. The Google Pixel was just under 10 years ago. So... not nothing haha

So if you kidnap them, hold them in a bunker for a month, then release them, it will pay out. That's probably a positive thing for the world somehow, right?

That's very funny to me.

A) x is always removed.

B) no, it's never removed if volatile.

But neither person can prove what a compiler will actually do, despite claiming they'll always act a certain way given 5 lines of code.
