It is usually my first choice card for things. I think they have the best customer relations, web site, and terms of the major card companies. I really hope Capital One fails to acquire them.

Having looked closer, kitty just looks too complicated. I just want a nice terminal. Kitty doesn't have scrollbars either. I'll stick with Alacritty for now.

I've been using Alacritty (on Wayland) for the past few years. I like it's customizability. My only real complaint is that there are times when I really miss having scrollbars. After reading this thread I'll have to give kitty a try. I think I tried it a couple if years ago and was not impressed, but maybe it has gotten a lot better since then.

You can already return complex data structures using jsonagg and recursive queries. I can see wanting to make that easier and more intuitive to do. Current sql does not restrict you to just 2D table data structures though.

What do you think we are spraying when we spray for mosquitos? Of course it is to help the little flying pests turn Christians gay. Really. Have you ever seen the mosquito population actually go down? Do you really know what is in that spray? You just assumed, and now you too are gay.

The next one since they completely ignored the last one - and got away with it.

I guess I'm lucky because my body came with builtin eye covers.

I would add information security, which requires a lot of theory, but not always a lot of coding.

Also help desk / IT work, which is hands on with technology, but not theory intensive (usually).

Devops usually requires a lot of coding these days, but there was a time, and such roles may still exist, where the system administration tasks of capacity planning, backups, disaster recovery, purchasing, rack & stack, and access controls would keep you quite busy without much coding.

Most people I know who own guns do so because they are afraid of black people. Not because they are itching to join a rebellion.

Often the VC's, if they have control of the company, will bring in "gray hair" managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They'll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

I took a course in scallop farming over 20 years ago. There is no need to ravage the ocean wilds to get them.
