Algebraic effects is a fantastic type system feature that needs to break into mainstream ASAP.

Not trying to say you're wrong in your decision, but in the context of the post you're replying to, aren't these points arguments against the node client rather than redis itself?

I only heard about vector databases along with the recent advents of AI. Assuming they've been around for a while, what were the benefits of using them over "normal" search engines (e.g. ElasticSearch)?

How is usage based billing taken from the user's point of view? Isn't there a sense it disincentivizes a paying customer from using your product?

An open source lib where I can type up some text configuration, hook it up to a sql database, and get a nice looking generated form (for internal surveys in my case).

This is really cool! I was just thinking the other day, it would be nice to have Prolog-like interactions for excel/tabular data. Excel is useful, but getting insights into data relationships can be hard or impossible for certain queri

Your trust point is valid but needs tweaking: You need to trust someone with your money if you want to buy at an exchange . Although exchanges are the most convenient way to right now, they are not the only way. Peer-to-peer is always

Blind faith how so? I merely stated a technical fact. Blockchain is programmable money; they could have programmed a system such that FTX could not run away with user funds – there are defi systems that do this already. But they didn&#x27

A proper use of cryptocurrency could have prevented the problem, but FTX and users mutually agreed to give FTX more trust by giving FTX custody of user funds. That's really all it was. Not very interesting.

I'd be curious to see the source on those numbers and how they're broken down. For example, Terra/Luna was a spectacular crypto failure. FTX, on the other hand, was just plain old fraud, not really related to crypto itself.

How does this compare to Unison[0]? Aside from looking JavaScript-like. Doesn't look statically typed at first glance, but the docs seem to imply it is [1]. Pretty interesting overall. [0]: https://www.unison-lang.org [1]:

Ignoring the tone and conclusions of the article, the main question is an important one to ask. Aside from the very narrow application of math & science in one's life, humans adopt knowledge and beliefs based solely on what they se

Excalidraw is one of my favorite tools, and for diagramming it's much better. I'm also a happy subscriber to their private collaborative workspaces features. With that said, I look forward to tldraw's library getting open sou

His point is worthless. Just because you can't scientifically measure something doesn't mean it doesn't improve people's lives. The underlying assumption here is "if it's not scientific, then it's not help

There is no science that helps stop someone from hating themselves. Worthless comment.

As a programming language geek, TypeScript is one of the best things to ever happen to the industry. It's finally dispelled the notion that "types == Java == bad/annoying", and shown how powerful and convenient a type sy

No, religion does not require suspension of critical thinking. This is only pushed by those who want to keep or abuse their power.

The anti-religious love to harp on the whole evidence thing, but in real life you almost never make decisions based on evidence. Instead, you base them on experiences – whether based your own or other people's. Here's a basic ex

This theory is only half true. Any power structure allows abuse to happen. Business, politics, universities, kingdoms, celebrities... there's nothing about religion distinct in this regard, other than religion is more widespread. Any

> scientists don't seem to become as wildly inflated as priests or cult leaders Isn't that simply because they don't have anywhere near the amount of power or followers? For power to corrupt, you must first have power.

I would LOVE static typing when programming a form on a web page. However, it's the fault of HTML that this is bad, not static typing itself. Although, in theory, one could write a parser to inject what form elements are available into

Darklang is getting there. Functionality is limited, but feels great to use. Speaking as someone with 15 years experience. Can't wait for it to mature.

If you mean "mental" as in "not based on reality", then no, that's wrong. However, it is true that your hunger urges are not solely based on thriving and surviving, but also significantly on the current state of y
