You don’t allow refunds… your “service” exists to prey on the lonely and you charge huge fees. Shocked they would deplatform such a noble service.

I see it everywhere... not with "hundreds" of teams but enough teams over a 12 year career in consulting to make this not anecdotal.

Wegovy is a miracle drug IMO.

Sadly, I changed my employer and insurance no longer covers it... so its 1650/month and doesn't count toward my deductible

Working with a company called "Calibrate" who guarantees that they can get you the meds through their relationships... we will see. But the effect of Wegovy (for me) was very meaningful and I am/was seriously considering just paying out of pocket to continue it.

I love vantage. Thank you for making it.

There are still struggles, but the money part has a material impact. IVF (it took us 7 rounds) is very emotionally draining... but it's likely an order of magnitude less so when money is not a factor.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m thinking in an enterprise context, where I have many apps, many apis, many teams. Bolting auth to the gateway (with jwt) makes a lot of sense, and for very sensitive endpoints, maintain a blacklist.

The high-perf kv is nice and all, but also quite complex at “enterprise” scale (meaning, lots of apps/people not throughput)

What is the better alternative if you want a stateless backend?

Thanks -- I had never considered using webassembly in this way, so I thought it was something different.

If you are investing in ETF/indexes then RH being down is not really an issue... and if you are looking to trade at those dollar amounts, then its a great deal. I fall into this category and RH being down has affected me in no way.

If you are trading much more frequently/short term, or WSB style options, then yea, I think that a proper brokerage (IB) is likely better for you.

Also perusing twitter --- lots of people were planning on executing that _perfect trade_ if only RH was up... lol

whats the best headless browser for CI/CD? I've always used Phantom, but would be keen to explore alternatives (especially if it could quiet the "nobody uses phantom in real life")

Serious question: what is considered async?

From the site, I get that add(1+1) doesn't require a callback, whereas downloadFile(url) does.

What about somethingHarderThanAddition(noExternalDependency)?

My question is, what is the threshold that I can assume that my code will run sync, and when it cant?
