I can't reproduce this. Both high and low effort got it right
Technology isn't intrinsically good or evil. It's how it's used. Like the Death Ray.

Amazing movie! His physical comedy acting was really special
This is amazing!

I've been rewriting a project from Node.js (TypeScript) to Rust that has a large number of nested async tasks running. Using `moro-local` I was able to remove all the `JoinSet`, `Arc<Mutex<...>>`, and write a very similar style as I had in Node.js.

Re:GPT for Second Brains on Monday February 06, 2023 @06:24PM (#34686063)
I’d love to have a ChatGPT that was also trained on all of the pages from my “second brain,” Roam Research.

How many years are we away from something like this?

I received an email yesterday asking me to change my password. I did, and updated our services with the regenerated Heroku API key.

This morning, I was unable to log into my account and had to reset again. And update our services again.

Is there anything like this for PostgreSQL?
I've been using TypeOrm in production for a few years in a project with dozens of entity types and hundreds of queries. My recommendation is to use something else. Anyone know of an alternative?

I haven't spoken to any on Koh Phangan. On Koh Tao (an hour away with boat) they are broke and there's no work. I would guess the situation is the same for diving instructors on Koh Phangan.

I've been living on Koh Phangan since March. AMA
