I can’t think of a single time where my backend was literally just a crud api over entities. These toys fall apart beyond a hello world app. No validation, no authorization, no authentication, no property level permission, no events, no au

Easier horizontal scaling and organizational inertia would be the main reasons to use mongo over a jsonb column. I wouldn’t introduce it to a psql shop if they are already great at running psql.

From what I can tell, convoy has not filed for bankruptcy protection yet, which indicates that after dumping the load of their payroll, they believe they can remain solvent long enough to continue to shop their tech stack around. That’s kin

This isn’t even AI. This is just low budget VFX. Something that has been done since the 90s.

It’s a huge scam. I’ve seen a tear down and the only thing inside the box is ballast and a circuit to drive a LED.

Not defending FTX here, but I think everyone is jumping to a conclusion that this function is used for display purposes only and not to persist the amount that another process then uses to to transfer the insurance amount. Using some random

I randomly used that game as a test rom when I wrote my nes emulator and was pulling my hair out in why the HUD wasn’t rendering until I realized I needed to implement the APU as well. What a fun era of development.

Don’t spread that conspiracy nonsense. It doesn’t belong here.

Did they control against non diet soda drinkers or non soda drinkers in general? Wasn’t clear from reading the summary. There’s a whole lot of other indicators that could be linked with soda drinkers (education, income etc), so unless the

The 6502 has variable length encoding, each opcode is associated with a half dozen addressing modes that determine what to do with the following bytes. In my implementation I usually store a dictionary entry with two function pointers. One

It’s likely they use runtime exec because they are doing in app sideloading of features so they don’t need to wait for App Store approval. TEMU feels kinda like a superapp like wechat. I think TEMU is a super shady company but I don’t think

This is some kind of Walmart version of Hindenburg research. Even copying their website style. Are they short PDD? Tough choice considering china stocks are so manipulated you’ll go broke before the truth is revealed.

There’s a dedicated DC trunk line running down the entire west coast. It’s how hydropower generated in Washington state is sold to California. High voltage DC to bridge grids is really common. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik

Both of you are pushing a misleading agenda so I’ll add a third one. Food prices didn’t skyrocket from an excess of demand, and they didn’t purely skyrocket because of corporate greed. They went up because the cost of production went up. Be
