- It depends where you live and your driving distances. The US is the worst case for EVs because of longer driving distances and cheaper gas. I plug mine in at my own home so I never have to stop to fill it up a tank which is really nice. A renter might struggle to find anywhere to charge though. ICE is horrible to drive in comparison. They are noisy and lack torque and lots of moving parts need maintenance.
For sparsely populated areas or city to city driving plug-in hybrids should bridge the gap and allow people do most driving on electric and get the benefits of EV performance.
- You should really put some usage instructions on the README.
I tried a couple PDFs but get "Failed to open PDF: bad argument type for built-in operation".uv run --with PyMuPDF --with pillow ./unredactor-main/unredact.pyRedactle.net has something similar where you can double-click or tap-hold then type a note over the redacted word.
- I did try slack. Maybe the problem is it was launched much too early. A certificate expiry issue caught me out because there wasn't an automatic process on this version to roll them over. Ironically a single database instance would have been much much more stable. I upgraded but this didn't bring up the database, restoring through the portal failed, so I had to create a new PG cluster to get my site up and I never ended up recovering the data as the process was very tedious involving PVCs rather than just pointing to my bucket. The ratio of open to closed issues on the repo is much worse than CNPG so I would simply start there.
- It can go wrong. I had a horrible experience with StackGres. I read a lot of positive things about CloudNativePG though. I can see where people with startups are coming from not wanting to manage database plumbing so they can focus on real business tasks. I think that's fine as long as there is a path to self-host after some growth. I might do some event-sourcing myself so that databases are effectively materialized views easy to add and remove.

- People buy them _because_ they are ginormous and hostile. It's part of the marketing. Ford could make a pedestrian safe work vehicle but they won't because selfish people love these. Especially when it becomes an arms race when half the population drive them. Oversized vehicles need to be taxed more and regulated properly.
- I have a personal project and I used a tiny Azure 'dev/test' postgres database like OP mentioned and it went down for a day with no explanation. Restoring from back ups did not work. Now Auzre have a new DB service in preview called Horizon which I'd hope is more reliable. Before that I used stackgres on kubernetes which was awful. I hear the cloud native pg operator is okay though? Another problem I had was Bitnami yanking some helm charts and images I had used for a Redis cluster.
I'm now thinking something like Supabase or Convex may be the way to go for personal projects. Any experiences?
- Here are some SvelteKit helpers to shove in your agents.md: https://www.davis7.sh/sv
There are a number of ways to get examples into the LLM. I use shadcn-svelte and bitsui and try to copy the examples (copy button at the top of the docs) or tell the LLM to fetch docs from the github repo or use context7's MCP for docs.
- Libertarian is not always better. A Goldilocks position is the best. Change is okay but you must first understand why boundaries and norms were created (Chesterton's fence). Extremely tolerant people also allow authoritarian cultures to settle, create enclaves and outnumber their own culture which is a bit of an own goal.
- The topic is very nuanced. Social media is bad but so are the authoritarian actors wanting more and more control over everything. The government control aspect is a huge concern of mine too but it's already well covered here so I want to go over the reasons it might be a good idea.
Yes this is true parents are responsible for their kids but it's also true that the village a kid lives in actually influences the kid more than their parents. So it's up to the parents to choose a good village. If every village has the same global social media apps then obviously that's more difficult and not a pit of success. Keep in mind most parents also have a shitload of other stuff to do especially with inflation requiring two incomes to operate a household.
Individualist types don't seem to get the whole village thing at all. It's hyper-individualism with no acknowledgement that we DO affect other people with our actions. Pollute as much as you like, fly noisy planes, drive oversized killer-SUVs. Let every company do what it wants because free market competition and better technology, or something. We're actually social animals and our happiness has a lot to do with how we stack up socially. Hence if just one kid has a device the other kids get jealous and want to keep up; The obvious answer is to enforce a culture of no-phones. But that would take a some agreement so a individualists don't like it.
