I think the US bombing China would have a big impact on the oil market. I think the better argument is that the pizza index doesn't matter because a.) people in the Pentagon might order pizza for all sorts of reasons, they might be beh

Don't historians already contend with a bunch of lies and misunderstandings people wrote down in the past? Eg, it's my understanding that the Salem Witch Trials were driven by property disputes and petty grievances, but presumably

Fair enough. I'm not sure how much JSON parsers in the wild care about that spec. I just tried with Python and it was happy to accept scalars and NaN. JavaScript rejected NaN but was happy to accept a scalar. But sure, compliant parser

I think parsing BSON is simpler than parsing JSON, BSON has additional types but the top level is always a document. Whereas the following are all valid JSON: - `null` - `"hello"` - `[1,2,NaN]` Additionally, BSON will just tell yo

To me they look like someone earnestly asking for help, but in the wrong forum. Closing the PR would make sense to me, but I don't think there's any purpose to making this person a main character. I've spent a lot of time in

I don't think we should be dunking on someone for saying, "I have no idea what I'm doing and I need help." This isn't hubris. They didn't think that this 100k line change would be accepted. They were just askin

The error message is a fair point, I do still think that making caching the default is premature. I would definitely recommend writing a Compose file that applies your migrations to a fresh RDBMS and allows you to connect from the host devi

I think that, if a new user is going to encounter an error, it should be that SQLx couldn't talk to the database rather than that a mysterious file doesn't exist. They're going to need to connect to a dev database either way.

Most people aren't writing something as complex as SQLite, but most people aren't writing parsers either. Those writing parsers are disproportionately writing things like programming languages and language servers that are quite c

To expand, SQLx isn't an ORM or query builder, what it does is allow you to write raw SQL with compile-time guarantees of type safety. It does this by connecting to a dev database at compile time & uses SQL's introspection fea

The time value of money is typically a more significant factor than inflation. If you believe that there will be massive inflation that outstrips the time value of money, then you should still feel this figure is misleading because it'

If you have a radon test indicating there's a problem, then it is no longer theoretical. There aren't an infinite number of pressing and known risks. I think it's a mistake to conflate an infinite number of hypothetical risks

Ideally we'd model all relevant parameters, my main point is that presenting the cost as $2940 is misleading.

How much does it really have to prevent one of the most painful and expensive forms of cancer, not just for you but also your family, to justify $7/mo? Not very much, in my book.

The present value of $7 in 35 years is $1.45, assuming a risk free rate of 4.5%. Paying $2940 over 35 years is much more affordable than paying $2940 up front. If the goal is to be rational about risk, let's right-size the numbers. Oth

According to the thread, the unit tests weren't passing, so the LLM reran the migration script, and the migration script blew out the tables. The "upstream encouragement" is a failing test. Is this a hoax for attention? It&#x

They're probabilistic. If it's possible, it'll happen eventually (and it is fundamental to language modeling that any sequence of tokens is possible). This is a straightforward Murphy's Law violation.
