Don't think so but after seeing electricity prices rise and even double in areas by giant data centers many areas are requiring them to provide their own power

I don't think saying any of that resulted in being banned because I saw it constantly.

Also you are still wrong about most of that. The vaccine is certainly safe and effective, masks definitely help, lockdowns definitely helped the overrun hospitals. Yes there were adverse effects in some of these policies unfortunately.

Yea you can use it client side and sync to PowerSync or electricsql if you aren't using js on the backend

I use TinyBase for the client side store, it can sync with pretty much all the technologies people are talking about here

The video title is the title of the article they are reacting to and mostly not agreeing with

We're running out of the ability to make transistors smaller and closer together so beyond some major breakthrough I wouldnt expect Moore's law to continue nearly long enough to get to the point of running GPT4 on consumer hardware in the short term

When you are a product that people build businesses on top of and start by burning money to grow as fast as possible and then switch to caring about profitability with a months notice to your customers that's a shitty thing to do.

For those looking for alternatives check out https://neon.tech/, https://turso.tech/ and https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/.

Yea this seems like a gift for https://neon.tech/, https://turso.tech/ and https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/.

Planetscale is definitely popular and they get a lot of free advertisement from tech influencers (may change without the free tier) but most people I know in enterprise haven't heard of it.

Double checking I think I'm wrong. I may have been thinking of some specific crime. But Milwaukee is specifically bad due to historical segregation issues. Anyway drug and addiction issues have hit rural issues really bad

New comment by aCoreyJ in "ShotSpotter: listening in on the neighborhood"

aCoreyJ — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 01:12:48 +0000

Big cities are pretty safe. For instance you more likely to be a victim of a crime in rural northern Wisconsin, like Barron County, than you are in Milwaukee.

Don't let your narrative be shaped by stats that aren't proportional.

Turns out it less necessarily when you don't have to worry about opening the door to an AR-15 or worse.

Google is the one pushing them. Apple has the incentive to keep people on the device though because they don't have an advertising business

That's precisely what gets them in trouble though. Every bank, credit card, giant corporation has an app and has to pay Apple nothing but indie game developers subsidize them

Just try it. Your favorite editor almost certainly has a vim motions plugin, try it for a week and see if you go back.
