This was a great throw back. My interest in Electrical Engineering was traced back to building out simple circuits on this device. Little did I know my day to day at school was going to involve even more complicated circuits on a bread board - I was in heaven!

This is an area that government subsidies could really influence change in urban planning and cutting oil demand. If there was a similar subsidy on bikes as there are on electric cars, I would expect the push back against bike infrastructure would become less. Right now in the Bay Area through poor design and aging infrastructure there is push back on bike lanes. An example is the Richmond bridge, which has a protected bike lane taking a 3rd lane of traffic that could see a larger number of riders if more ebikes become used. Likewise for the Bay Bridge, whose bike lane is a ghost town in the mornings when commute traffic is worst. This would be less of a problem if the lane went entirely to the city.
Curious if this applies to political ad senders.

This is a major pain point moving customers from Oracle to cloud services. PL/SQL encapsulates a lot of logic in legacy enterprise applications that handcuffs customers to the platform similarly to mainframe systems. Migration tools can get part of the way there but still requires a strangler type pattern when migrating.
Redis provides indexes for vector similarity. And we have a lot of experience with Redis. We see a future where we can offer more than one datastore, and we’ve been considering Qdrant as the next datastore to support.
You should look at Lucene core - they have incorporated vector embeddings in 9.4.x and it could provide you better scale than Redis with durability as well.
Word processors in the 70s had this as well. I remember the CPT 8100 having this as a selling point in their literature. There was no inline correction. Run the program, correct your issues then continue!
Anyone else remember Shift+F7? Bring out your Wordperfect templates.
I have used card database files before with success. https://cr.yp.to/cdb.html
Have your process regularly update the CDB file from a blob store like S3. Any deltas can be pulled from S3 or you can use a message bus if the changes are small. Every so often pull the latest CDB down and start aggregating deltas again.
CDB performs great and can scale to multiple GBs.

It frustrates my partner to no end. I always ask for a discount. Worst case you end up paying the amount you expect, best case you open up a window to negotiations of a discount. It never hurts to ask.
I would like to think this is some kind of 4-d chess game to avoid rate hikes and to devalue the dollar, but on implementation it will accomplish none of the above with a sprinkle of recession.
