I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

I've wasted too much time trying to do things in No SQL document databases like Mongo.
Would have been far better to default to PostgresSQL / SQLite. If one thing you build turns out to be better suited to something else you can change it later. More difficult to go the other way.
Just use SQL.

Great job Apple users, you can browse the internet slightly faster. The single core performance boost is nice… it will make a difference for heavy workloads. However, I don’t get comparing the chip to a high end gaming GPU, especially the rtx 40 series. Apple definitely is NOT winning here.
People keep talking about the M4 ultra beating out the rtx 4090... And it's all just misinformation.
The RTX series of graphics cards is for gaming, and specifically raytraced gaming.
We saw how taxing raytracing is on non-raytracing enabled gpus.
Apple is not winning there.

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.

So you’re saying a bunch of people are paying into a single fund to pay for the medical treatment of someone else so their life isn’t ruined by a medical emergency?
It’s an interesting concept. 🧐🤔
What if we had like a national version?
We could call it the New Affordable Ca…GoFundMe Act
