Feels like postgres is always the answer. I mean like there's gotta be some edge case somewhere where postgres just can't begin to compete with other more specialized database but I'd think that going from postgres to something else is much easier than the other way around.

Bspwm for me because the config is just any executable file, like a bash script, which makes customizing things and automating things way easier.

It even has a macos counterpart yabai which is good enough for what I do.

Couldn't read past this. This feels almost sociopathic. As if a system failing specifically you means it's flawed.

Also the stock market is not "capitalism" any more than Amazon is "capitalism"

Not that this solves it but we could easily cover a whole state in trees. Have you seen Indiana and Illinois. Those states are entirely made out of corn. At this point it isn't an engineering problem it's just an economic one.

I highly recommend Stargate. They actually go to Atlantis. I know most media outlets have to say Atlantis is "just a story", but if you want the real truth. Go to the Canadians.

Not everyone I know has months of food storage, but I know a couple who lost their job during the pandemic and it helped them get through that.

Food storage is not just for apocalypse type stuff. It's for what the heck ever.

It's not. I'm not a history buff so I won't speak for the past. But right now there is a huge accountability problem.

Government literally can't exist without ignoring accountability.

Corporations are incentivised to ignore accountability.

Individuals want to ignore accountability.

You only have control over yourself. If you want your life to go better then you have to take the accountability.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, have backups, understand how the things you participate in work. Ask questions like "why would this be free".

It's a long road for everyone but if you want to be safe and happy you gotta take the solutions into your own hands.

No ticktock is not a protocol or airspace. It's a company. It would be like banning Disney.

More importantly it can be blamed on the fraudster, and acountability for who missed the fraud is no longer traceable.

The fact that it is possible to cheat means the king has no clothes.

I'm sorry but some calls are synchronous. Even if all the calls between are async it doesn't matter. It won't make things faster for your service to be async when the process is fundamentally async. In fact if there are any bumps along the way and you have to requeue the request it will take longer.
