The websites don't have feature parity with the apps these days. Things like being able to deposit a cheque aren't available among other things.

That is the premise of the article. To wit:
If everyone needs it, is it really a non-core function?

Sure, but if you're trying to manage your weight it helps you to decide whether that cookie is worth it or not. If it's an Oreo cookie (or 3), I'll pass. If it's my wife's home made chocolate chip cookie I'll eat it (but not 2). It's a useful calibration for effort vs reward as opposed to eating a couple cookies without thinking about it.

Totally this. I've recently embarked on a weight loss/fitness journey (coming up on 50 rotations around the sun) and I find it incredibly helpful to think of the 250 calorie chocolate bar as roughly 25 minutes on the treadmill.

That is the general pattern but not always. I never used to have allergies and then developed them a few years ago. Was very miserable for a couple months every year for about 5 years but they disappeared again a couple years ago. I tried a few things like taking a spoonful of local honey every day etc. Ultimately I don't know what made the difference sadly but I haven't been bothered by seasonal allergies for several years now.

I think Jarred's response at the time was intended to cool the ridiculous hype when the branch first appeared!

Have you done this yourself? If you haven't I think you'd discover server hardware is actually shockingly reliable. You could go years without needing to physically touch anything on a single machine. I find that people who are used to cloud assume stuff is breaking all the time. That's true at scale, but when you have a handful of machines you can go a very long time between failures.

How does this solution compare with using pg_squeeze? We ran into this situation with a queuing solution and we've been testing it out... seems to work.

The web sucked all the oxygen out of the room.

Seeing similar comments across different articles and technologies and it makes me wonder how much AI is going to hold back the adoption of new technologies going forward.

What are the trivial changes Canada could make if it wanted to be serious about startups?

Agreed. Growing up on a small farm (~1120 acres) our garden alone was probably at least 5 acres in size. It's laughably small, the only way he'll succeed is for a neighbouring farmer to take pity on him.

If you spend time on the website you can see the plan is to rent (only!) 5 acres of land for this project. Since it's a lease only and such a small plot it seems unlikely to get him into trouble. Given the small size though I'm dubious he'll find it easy to get any custom operators interested in doing a job that small!

Most of those 10 squashed commits likely had commit comments like: "Cleanup based on PR feedback." etc.

Easy if you ignore the security aspects. You want to hand over your tokens to your LLM so it can script up a tool that can access it? The value I see in MCP is that you can give an LLM access to services via socket without giving it access to the tokens/credentials required to access said service. It provides at least one level of security that way.
