On: Redis 8.8: New array data structure, rate limiter, performance improvements

[thefreeman]

Redis is not a database. It’s a key / value store.

[rytis → thefreeman]

It kind of is a database:

A key-value database, or key-value store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary.

[theultdev → thefreeman]

that's still a database.

it's not a relational database.

[bijowo1676 → thefreeman]

you are confusing redis with memcached

My money is on unauthed mongodb or public s3 bucket

These days, Lovable + Supabase seem to be the way. Your options sound expensive, they require developers.

What are those? Our intern Bradley types victim, sorry Customer information in an excel spreadsheet all day and then emails it to his manager, who he's never met.

[thefreeman]

Well trump mobile almost definitely doesn't have a network, systems, or infrastructure to begin with. So I guess they are technically correct.

On: Uv is fantastic, but its package management UX is a mess

[thefreeman]

You can also define required dependencies in a doc block at the top of the file and then just “uv run main” and it will automatically install and cache any dependencies and run. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/

On: Local Stack Archived their GitHub repo and requires an account to run

[thefreeman]

yes, there were a large number of AWS products and features that were only available with a subscription

On: Chrome DevTools MCP (2025)

[thefreeman]

You can just start claude with the —chrome flag too and it will connect to the chrome extension.

[dallen33 → thefreeman]

Yeah I'm confused why I need something like agent-browser for that. Maybe it uses less tokens.

On: US economy unexpectedly sheds 92k jobs in February

[thefreeman]

don't you get a tax penalty if you aren't insured for 100% of the year?

[tzs → thefreeman]

That got remove in Trump's first term.

[ethbr1 → tzs]

US voter math: remove penalties/taxes + increase benefits = everything is fine

Thus solving the problem.

[groundzeros2015 → ethbr1]

The penalties were extremely unpopular and affected poor people the most.

I know the economic idea, but it is not a good mechanism for society.

[tzs → groundzeros2015]

The expanded Medicaid was supposed to take care of poor people, but several states refused to implement that.

I think this is what the Ralph Wiggum plugin is for. It just repeatedly reprompts the llm with the same prompt until it is fully complete or something along those lines.
