<p>Duuuude! Give me this. Please. 
We have these mosquito bats/racquets that I've to use every day in a futile attempt to keep my family safe. I need something like what you're building. I looked up even laser mosquito killers.</p>

<p>Yes, this is a concern. When I built something similar (gencmd.com), I avoided the auto-run option even though it was easy to implement. imho, it's better to have a human in the loop for these.</p>

<p>Nice! 
Little plug for what I did too, in a similar vein - it has a web version <a href="https://gencmd.com/" rel="nofollow">https://gencmd.com/</a> and also a cmd line version.</p>

<p>I would like to throw in a tool that I built into the ring: gencmd - <a href="https://gencmd.com/" rel="nofollow">https://gencmd.com/</a>. There is a web version and also a CLI version.<p>If the CLI is installed, you can do: <i>gencmd -c ffmpeg extract first 1 minute of video</i><p>Or you can just search for the same in the browser page.</p>

<p><a href="https://gencmd.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://gencmd.com</a><p>Generate cmd line options on the cmd line. The web interface is a quick trial ground, but the real productivity boost is with the cli with integration in-place at the prompt.<p>As of now, it's very basic and working directly of the PaLM Text Bison model, but I'm adding more features and fine tuning. Also, trying to make it usable by enterprises.<p>E.g.<p><pre><code>   $ gencmd find txt files that contain the text hello
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" | xargs grep -i hello
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep -i "hello" {} \;
   find . -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep -i hello {} \;

   $ gencmd -c grep find txt files that contain the text hello
   grep -r hello *.txt
   grep -r "hello" \*.txt

</code></pre>

<p>The chat button for Teams on my macbook pro does not show up. On another older macbook pro, it works.  I've seen this random issue showing up on forums, and there's never any working solution.
It's just so weird, and I can't participate in any chat conversations. :shrug:</p>

<p>I think this rating does not take into consideration local culture.  For example, I don't think India has a culture that makes you introspect whether one is 'happy'.  How about asking whether one is unhappy?  My suspicion is that India will score low (as in, not unhappy) on that also.</p>

<p>The primary loser in all of this is Java.<p>Companies must be actively reconsidering their involvement with Java - I know a handful.<p>Google, on their part, is pushing Kotlin to avoid the Java branding.  Next is Flutter to entirely get off Java.  There seems to be some evidence that they're also beginning to avoid the Android brand in places.</p>

<p>I can see the sudden jump in popularity for python alongside data science - it really is great for that.<p>My view is: python is great for offline tasks, like functional testing and training in machine learning - tasks that do not have huge, direct customer interaction.  But to put something in production, please give me a strongly typed language with compiled binaries and no additional installations/VMs (and for me that's Go).</p>
