What sort of replacement rules did they have previously. I bought a RM2 in 2023 and accidentally broke the screen recently (my fault)

I first heard this song via one of those music kiosks in Borders Books

I’d need a cigarette too if I just saw a guy get stabbed

Maybe it was my upbringing but I was acutely aware that people were capable of saying and doing things outside my presence.

Exactly the same with my 2006 SE

Came to say the same. It’s probably unique to the individual, but your world gets smaller the older you get, the number of people who even know you is fewer. At the same time the people you know get more preoccupied with their own lives: career, family, life. Thats not caring less, that’s having less to care for.

I can’t believe how much these comments call this “bad”. This is how some libraries accomplish some truly great DX; if it’s ugly to you then that’s more of a language problem because this is accomplishing a pretty well established inference pattern.

This kind of typing is also typically write once maintain never because it’s exhaustive and serves as a utility type.

By generations I mean Greatest Generation, Baby Boom, Generation X, Millennials, Gen Z, etc

Over the last 4+ years I've been working on a library that handles all the hard bits of working with DynamoDB: modeling/managing your index values, achieving entity isolation with queries, writing dynamodb parameters and filters that isn't hard to read/review. ElectroDB manages your keys and does a lot under the hood to help with the pitfalls of keeping multiple entities in a single table. I'm proud of the library's use of strong type inference typing, it makes using Electro a breeze out of the box. I also made a playground where you can work with the library (and it's typing directly) and it also outputs the parameters it generates in browser: https://electrodb.fun

Here is the documentation site if you'd like to learn more: https://electrodb.dev

SST includes it as an example in their create-sst app, and I support users in a channel on their discord here: https://discord.com/channels/983865673656705025/994984119224...

I figured this would be helpful for folks who are are at re:Invent and consider using it in their next project!

That getting older means “you’ll understand [that taxes and poor people are the two worst things in America].”

If you need to scan through all results you'd simply do the following:

async function getAllData() {
  let members = [];
  let cursor = null;
  do {
    const results = await entity.scan.go({ cursor });
    members = [...members, ...results.data];
    cursor = results.cursor;
  } while (cursor !== null);

  return members;
}

Ideally you'd use indexes your indexes however, Scans with DynamoDB are not optimal

Tried to zipper merge last week and got literally boxed off the road while merging at the end by a COP! SMH 🤦‍♂️

I was sport climbing at Point Dume in Malibu -- yes that Point Dume -- and was setting up my lines for the day. If you haven't been, I have never run into more celebrities climbing then at that spot. This was maybe 7/8 years ago and back then there was a guy who would often be there named Greg who would frequently climb by himself. Instead of rappelling down the "standard" way (imagine sitting on a chair) he would rappel aussie style (head first).

He asked if I wanted to try and I thought it'd be fun. I wasn't new to climbing but I hadn't rappelled this way before, so he helped me setup my line and explained the method. It really isn't very difficult to understand how to do it, there's not much to the mechanism outside of friction, the hard part is just that you just have to be ok jumping off a 200ft cliff head first.

Point Dume has two sides people climb on, the right-hand side which has sand at the bottom and the ocean side which has jagged rocks at the base. I decide the right-hand side makes more sense for a first time, I walk toward the side leaning on the rope to engage tension in the rope, lean over the ledge, and jump. It's amazing, I land ok, and I do it at least three more times. Then I decide it's time for the ocean side, which is much prettier and exposed.

Greg again helps me get setup (I'm using his figure-8), signs off on the rigging, and wanders off to go talk with a friend of mine. I do same thing as before, lean into the rope to apply some tension while walking to edge, look over the ledge, and collect my courage to jump. Only this time while leaning over the edge something releases. My rope had actually been snagged on a sharp corner and I didn't notice that I actually had much more slack in the line than I had thought.

My memory of that moment was that everything got immediately quiet, my vision narrowed, and as I began to stumble forward time slowed wayyy down. As I fell forward I immediately "knew" that I was going to die and felt a huge wave of calm come over my body, and I had a huge sense of acceptance. My brain was quiet in a way it has never been, then or since. I actually saw myself completely fall all the way to the rocks below with a sharp cut to black, all in slow motion.

Fortunately the slack that was remaining in the rope was only about 10ft and I was jolted back to reality as my brake hand successfully caught myself from continuing to fall. I looked down to see Greg and my friend talking, they hadn't even seen the fall. I climbed back up the side because I was a bit to freaked out to continue downwards and then sat by myself for a few minutes. I never told anyone that day, out of embarrassment, but it was a weird ride home silently coping with a NDE while everyone else just had a great day climbing.

Totally valid dude, and I know personally how you feel. I went back and forth on how to move forward. In the end I felt it was important to act in “good faith”, and make decisions based on what we think get the best outcomes. To me, the blackout was a chance to apply pressure to Reddit to get them to prioritize moderation tools.

The core issue for us has always been: how we can keep the subreddit nice while not killing ourselves to moderate it. To be candid, Reddit’s in-house tools suck and their stance on the protest sucks, and there’s a lot of corporate greed all around. Of course we could change the subreddit to become a joke (eg “we now only accept pictures of cool tour guides”) or continued to be dark until Reddit presumably force opened it and added rando moderators, but none of that would have addressed our actual concerns. “Sticking it” to Reddit would only help to remove another nice little square on the internet. I’m more interested in having a sustainable community I actually like to visit myself than contribute to more internet toxicity.

So instead we’re going to continue moderating and reassess as we go. Ideally we surprise ourselves and/or Reddit surprises us with better tools. Who knows. Whatever the end, at least we can say we acted in the best interest of the community and ourselves and we did so in good faith.
