@ApolloToday @umichvoter Tell me more

Supabase would've been almost perfect if they just gave you a vanilla Postgres database as the default. The "Supabase Way" of building apps is genuinely so stupid. Before LLMs, using Supabase did help accelerate app development, I just don't see the benefit anymore.

Roughly ~3% of the requests I make to my supabase storage server fail for no reason, definitely will not be using them for future projects lmao

@DeepDishEnjoyer @CameronCorduroy it's Athens, Georgia man. These kids probably live the most wholesome lives you can imagine. Go Dawgs

@CameronCorduroy i disagree, but it's also not something to celebrate either and certainly not in a smug way

@2024dion Atlanta's big mistake was the 75 85 connector

It’s probably fair to call Atlanta and Nashville the two worst planned cities in North America, given how easy it would have been to not end up as they did

@C4CEO I knew about the house, but not the colosseum!

It's true, too. I've been on campus at Jackson Healthcare, which I would describe as a compound. It's like every story of 90s silicon valley excess you've heard, but now and in one place. Hearing him brag about using government money to do it is even more gross....

@paularambles Rob Goldstein said a few weeks ago the same thing is happening at BlackRock youtu.be/aSYOsuKvfpU?si…

this is wild

You could turn $10 into $452 if you bet on Esteves to win the democratic primary He seems to be the echo chamber candidate this cycle His platform reads of Democrat slop, his time at APS was not really great, and his polling shows he doesn't appeal to the general population. You can either get angry about the KLB popularity or adjust your understanding of the current state of Georgia Democrat politics. I genuinely don't believe there has been a great Dem candidate since Zell. Barnes was okay, better than Perdue, but foreshadowed the decades of unremarkable candidates we have been subject to. I don't even believe Jason Carter had that dog in him. With Jason, we would become another unremarkable state that business are not trying to move to. Georgia isnt Washington State, at our core we are pro business. People have taken granted the run we've been on under Deal and Kemp ($2.2 Billion returned to tax payers since 2024)

FWIW to Georgia followers who haven’t voted yet: I voted for Esteves for the gov race yesterday. I’m very firmly anyone-but-Keisha/Duncan, and between Esteves and Thurmond I think the former has a way better shot at actually pressing a case against her in a runoff.

Thank you for sharing "Georgia Power said in a statement that only about 1% of its land acquisitions involve eminent domain and that it often offers property owners more than market value. The company also said it is in final negotiations with Brown's mother." All love goes out to the mom and daughter suffering through this, it can't be easy

@mitchellh Jarred did call out how zig enabled him to move quickly early FWIW x.com/jarredsumner/s…

It isn't unexpected that the focus of the Bun Rust rewrite is on the anti-Zig side more than anything, since the internet loves to hate. What is unexpected and unfortunate is that leadership within Bun hasn't tried to steer the conversation away from that at all. There are so many positive and interesting takeaways from this and I'm not really seeing any of them pushed as the primary message. A positive thing that hasn't been talked about at all is how far Bun came thanks to Zig. And even if you dump it now, its meaningful for how good Zig was to even build a product to this point and impact by any metric. I would've loved to see anyone in leadership say this. On the interesting side is how fungible programming languages are nowadays. Programming languages used to be LOCK IN, and they're increasingly not so. You think the Bun rewrite in Rust is good for Rust? Bun has shown they can be in probably any language they want in roughly a week or two. Rust is expendable. Its useful until its not then it can be thrown out. That's interesting! There's been a lot of talk about memory safety and no doubt Rust provides more guarantees than Zig. But I'd love to see a better analysis of why Bun in particular suffered so much rather than take the language-blame path. How could engineering as a practice been more rigorous to prevent this? What were the largest sources of crashes other programs should watch out for? How does Rust prevent them? How could Zig theoretically prevent them? That's interesting. I know the official blog post hasn't come out yet from Bun. But they're smart enough to know that that PR would stir up controversy the moment it opened, or they should've been. And plenty in the company have been tweeting and writing about it. Its somewhat telling to me in various dimensions what they chose to talk about first. I tend to think I'm pretty good at corporate PR/comms (especially when it comes to developer audiences) and I think appealing to the negative is never the right long term strategy; it does work to get short term eyes though.

Surely you put this in context of our 2024 budget surplus ($900 million). Are you suggesting we didn’t need a new workspace for legislators? Did you mention the fact we took on zero debt to pay for it? Not sure how many other states are in that strong of a fiscal position. Not to mention Georgia has sent back $2.2 billion directly to citizens since 2024! “I have an office, 121, and it has a ramp to go up, but I can’t take a scooter up or a wheelchair or my walker because the ramp is not ADA accessible; it’s very steep,” James said. “And that way too, people who come and visit us who have the same type of issues or worse than mine can’t come into that suite either.” georgiarecorder.com/2024/06/06/geo… The reality is, we are in competition with our neighboring states over tax rates. It makes total sense why we are cutting taxes and freezing NEW spending, not gutting existing programs

Just a reminder— when Gov. Kemp signed the budget cutting $300 million of new spending, he did it across the street from the brand new building that lawmakers approved in 2024 for their own new office space. That, plus new gold on the dome, cost $400 million. Details @ajc…

@jessethanley @_m27e @samlambert lmfao

@_m27e We will keep trying until @samlambert has my IOPS

Huh. That's a lot of IOPs.

@enordst @sgodofsk Thanks for the laugh man 😂 I've spent relatively little time in that state, so I can't speak from experience. I imagine they have big houses too lol I would recommend looking up where North Dakota is in relation to the Canadian Border

@ApolloToday @sgodofsk I said Minnesota gdi. Don’t play coy. Show me.

One big wake up moment I had was driving through rural Alabama, taking the back roads between Huntsville and Birmingham. There were huge 5000+ sqft houses with $60k trucks parked in front the entire way. You don't see that going through rural Germany.

@0xgaut 1 rice crispy treat and 2 gels can get you extremely far

drop your favorite "sports nutrition" hack below, here's mine

@enordst @sgodofsk Brother have you ever been to Montana, South Dakota, or North Dakota? Let's take Dickinson, ND for example

@sgodofsk Germany is at canada-border latitude. Big cars and houses are convenient when there’s no cold or rust. Let’s see Minnesota.

@sgodofsk This reminds me of living in Bozeman and going to camp sites. Seemed like every person had a 60k truck and a 90k camper.

Be honest, have you ever driven by plant yates. It's not exactly a national park I believe the homes suing are the ones just south of the two giant landfills. The power plant opened in 1950, meaning all the home owners there bought while the plant has been operational. Would you ever move your family directly next to a power plant with land fills? Do you know the history of the toxic coal ash that used to rain down on the area? Or the beryllium and selenium that they put into the local water supply? You cannot reasonably argue that a datacenter is worse for the environment than a coal plant! Guess who is going to consider all of this... the judge! So all the people who are screaming environmental concerns should be fighting to also shut down the plant! You should also think like a county. You have a business that can add a 100 million dollars to your revenues every year. Wouldn't you really want that? Especially one that is somewhat future proof compared to many other industries. I also don't understand what you mean by "more important". I know youre caught up in the unverified claims about eminent domain, but no one is losing their home to this data center by eminent domain. These people didn't mind living next to a coal power plant so I don't see how they draw the line at data center. I highly recommend you read through all the replies in my thread and see just how disorganized the opposition is. You and every other person made slightly different arguments on what exactly the problem is, all very confidently I might add. The fact you guys cant even agree what the real issue is (you are appealing to pathos btw, not really making a legal argument) foreshadows the outcome. I've seen it time and time again in my local city (Chatt Hills). wric.com/news/local-new… Here's a good article to understand the taxation of data centers. In Loudon County, VA data centers account for 45% of all revenue. #question-1793" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">loudoun.gov/m/faq?cat=241#… x.com/keeper_orchard…

@ApolloToday @keeper_orchard No one said it was a popular area, it’s rural and those people and the local environment still matter more than a data center

This sickens me. With roots there, Coweta county was my favorite place in the world, growing up. Urban sprawl from ATL has already made much of it unrecognizable to me today. This is the nail in the coffin. Data centers suck.

@skooookum Xhigh, fast, and computer use will run significantly eat into your usage. I assume these people are running every single task, even simple css changes, with this.

Genuinely have no idea what’s happening here. I have >5 agents running in codex 8-10 hours a day and rarely hit my weekly limits.

@JulieBa82946109 @keeper_orchard @GeorgiaPower @ajc Like I kinda have a gut feeling that video just isn't true? idk!

@JulieBa82946109 @keeper_orchard @GeorgiaPower I would love it if someone at the @ajc would actually do their job and figuring out the facts. I am just doing my best piecing together public information
