I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life.

We've got China cheating with their massively deflated currency, so how the market allocates capital is already screwed.

It wont be easy or painless but it wont be impossible either.

With data egress costs, all the security infrastructure built up is all bespoke to a provider, not to mention engineers relearning the new provider's APIs and all its warts. The cost would be HUGE. Would be something that would go to a board for approval.

I like this, package.json starts to look really ugly when you build up lots of scripts that need to run interdependently. For example some stubbed back ends, front end, some auth service, etc. You end up with ugly long npm scripts with &&s everywhere. However for this sort of thing, personally I'd rather use docker compose, dependencies are explicit and declarative, like this I guess. You can define health checks for services with docker compose too.

bit off more than it could chew

The fact that Dmitry was still pushing changes on the aeroplane, although he seemed to frame this as a positive, doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in their professionalism, viewed from the outside.

OP learnt about idempotency in http the hard way. However the post reminded me that I don't particularly like this hydration step of NextJS apps where there is javascript executing that is difficult if not impossible to step debug.

Follow the Ruby on Rails getting started guide and build a toy Rails web app. It has conventional http semantics baked in, you'll learn a lot.

It is indeed slow. It's a library written by non-developers for non-developers and it shows in the APIs.

The model of a word to a vector breaks down really quickly one you introduce the context and complexity of human language. That's why we went to contextual embeddings, but even they have issues.

Curious would it handle negation of trained keywords, e.g "not urgent"?

A typical commercial change control process exists to factor in human error. There's a cost to setting it up. This company never set it up, but ended up paying another way.
