Wish I could just buy a new car that was a car and not an app with wheels.

10 years of employment with a fat salary. Sounds horrible

Self writing? It mechanically presents fonted text letter by letter like a type writer. This is a gimmick at least as old as geocities

Or you can just remotely brick the devices so there is no value in stealing them.

You can (and perhaps should) use both, depending on your use cases.

For the vast majority of simple use cases the common subset of all popular SQLs is exactly the same. Otherwise… just use Postgres

Soy milk is wildly superior to oat milk - I say as a vegan attempting to hit my nutrition targets. Oat milk is essentially flavoured water

If you’re into running, cycling, etc. Strava can easily function in this way and does. I’ve made a bunch of friends and been introduced to groups and routes through my interaction with initial strangers

Zig is already great for this with ‘packed struct’ and arbitrary size ints. Allows for very clean protocol creation between systems with known properties. This is another great step in that direction.

Well, yes. You have less rights over the place you live because you live there entirely at the mercy of the person who legally owns/rents it.

I, a renter, can’t renovate the house I live in. The owner can. You, a house guest, can’t unilaterally decide to change my WiFi password.

I will seriously consider migrating once this exists! I couldn’t imagine deploying any other way now. I can never go back from SCPing a single binary to my server and just hitting reset on the service.

It’s a joke about how Anthropic bought bun and then rewrote bun from zig to rust with a giant one week vibe code. The joke hinges on the fact that this would be the opposite (OpenAI, nub, rust to zig)

You can use sql`query` anywhere you like combined with query builder syntax (or not) when you want to write raw sql and maintain type inference.

I think at the very least owners of these vehicles should be made to undergo more rigorous licensing education and testing.
