This was a great throw back. My interest in Electrical Engineering was traced back to building out simple circuits on this device. Little did I know my day to day at school was going to involve even more complicated circuits on a bread board - I was in heaven!
This is an area that government subsidies could really influence change in urban planning and cutting oil demand. If there was a similar subsidy on bikes as there are on electric cars, I would expect the push back against bike infrastructure would become less. Right now in the Bay Area through poor design and aging infrastructure there is push back on bike lanes. An example is the Richmond bridge, which has a protected bike lane taking a 3rd lane of traffic that could see a larger number of riders if more ebikes become used. Likewise for the Bay Bridge, whose bike lane is a ghost town in the mornings when commute traffic is worst. This would be less of a problem if the lane went entirely to the city.
Also, shoutout to Vienna which has the coolest program I've heard of: businesses get subsidies for cargo e-bikes, and in return they loan them out to citizens for free. So if you've got a bunch of stuff to haul, you can borrow a cargo bike for free and use their incredibly good bike network to move your stuff.

Small point: you can't get across the Bay on a bike on the Bay bridge. You can only get from Emeryville to Yerba Buena Island. No passage from Yerba Buena Island to SF. We're hoping this changes sometime in the next decade but no one's holding their breath.
This is a major pain point moving customers from Oracle to cloud services. PL/SQL encapsulates a lot of logic in legacy enterprise applications that handcuffs customers to the platform similarly to mainframe systems. Migration tools can get part of the way there but still requires a strangler type pattern when migrating.
You should look at Lucene core - they have incorporated vector embeddings in 9.4.x and it could provide you better scale than Redis with durability as well.
Word processors in the 70s had this as well. I remember the CPT 8100 having this as a selling point in their literature. There was no inline correction. Run the program, correct your issues then continue!
Anyone else remember Shift+F7? Bring out your Wordperfect templates.
Have your process regularly update the CDB file from a blob store like S3. Any deltas can be pulled from S3 or you can use a message bus if the changes are small. Every so often pull the latest CDB down and start aggregating deltas again.
It frustrates my partner to no end. I always ask for a discount. Worst case you end up paying the amount you expect, best case you open up a window to negotiations of a discount. It never hurts to ask.
I have been on a similar trend lately. Trying to first focus on low gluten/no gluten and nothing with processed sugar in it. Often hard to eliminate it all but even a dramatic cut back in processed foods has made a difference on my sleep.
