I have 26tb hardrives, 50gb doesnt scare me. Or should I be?
I think you'd want things in RAM for performance reasons but would love to be corrected by people with more knowledge/experience on the subject

If GLP-1s are working for people, why do they quit taking them?
They are very expensive

Yes we die, the body goes. But if there is a further element to the experience - and near death experiences, out of body experience suggest there is - we perhaps do see how the story ends. In fact, this experience might not be the real 'story', just an opportunity of some sort to learn, grow. The point is that although many assume material reality to be all there is, it might not actually be the case.
Yeah like that time before your were born, remember?
is there a future where Mozilla buys Kagi and becomes the privacy Google?

Is the US leading the EU in worker rights now?
Also surprised by this. Will the eu follow suit?
technocratius commented on Shape typing in Python jameshfisher.com/2024/04/... · Posted by u/alexmolas
Having migrated my application's Python and JS codebases to their typed siblings respectively last year, my 2c is that Python typing feels good and worthwhile when you're in the standard lib, but _awful_ (and net-negative) once you leave "normal Python" for the shores of third-party packages, particularly ones that lean heavily on duck typing (Django and BeautifulSoup both come to mind.)
This is where some of the stuff in the TypeScript ecosystem really shines, IMHO — being able to have a completely typesafe ORM such as Drizzle (https://orm.drizzle.team/) feels like a Rubicon moment, and touching anything else feels like a significant step backwards.
Which language do you refer to when you speak of python's typed sibling?

Interesting tool, especially the statistics relating to the chances of dying within 1 or 10 years are quite confronting. Memento Mori.
Another pet peeve is that it, when asked to provide several possible solutions, sometimes generates two that are identical but with different explanations.
