Is this hyperbole, or are you seriously claiming that the Jewish men who run Breitbart, or Jewish founders like Ben Shapiro or Andrew Breitbart, are neo-Nazis?
Nazi became a bit too broadly used in place of fascism, it's American Fascism, its own special flavour of it which is not anti-semitic (quite the opposite, it's actually very pro-semitic with its allegiance to Israel).
Of course it's all semantics, and you very likely understand that.
American Fascism is quite antisemitic, in spite of its successes with a certain subset of Jewish people. Contemporary American fascism's support of Israel is rooted in a religious belief that the Jewish people have to be in control of Israel before they're slaughtered. It's a millenarian death cult with nuclear weapons.
It's not semantics, they're just liars and fools. There were Jewish Nazis, now we have Jewish neonazis. Greed knows no bounds.
The issues that I have with Redis are not at all its API (which is elegant and brilliant) or even its serialized, single-core, single-threaded design, but its operational hazards.
As a cache or ephemeral store like a throttling/rate limiting, lookup tables, or perhaps even sessions store, it's great; but it's impossible to rely on the persistence options (RDB, AOF) for production data stores.
You usually only see this tendency with junior devs, though. It might be a case where "when all you have is a hammer, all you see are nails", or when someone discovers Redis (or during the MongoDB hype cycle ten years ago), which seems like it's in perfect alignment with their language datatypes, but perhaps this is mostly because junior devs don't have as many production-ready databases (from SQL like Postgresql, CockroachDB, Yugabyte to New/NoSQL like ScyllaDB, YDB, Aerospike) to fall back on.
Redis shines as a cache for small data values (probably switch to memcache for larger values, which is simpler key-value but generally 3 to 10 times faster for that more narrow use case, although keep an eye on memory fragmentation and slab allocation)
Just think carefully before storing long-term data in it. Maybe don't store your billing database in it :)
I have seen horrifying use of Redis where I inherited the maintainance of an application whose original developer implemented his own home grown design to manage relationships between different types of key value pairs, pretending like they were tables including cross-referencing logic; it took me a week to just add test cases with sufficient logging to reveal the "schema" and mutation logic. All this with the non-technical manager wondering why it took so long to make the change which directly dependended on understanding this. To top it all, the code was barely better than spaghetti with less than ten lines of comments across maybe 5k LOC. The irony was that this was not a latency sensitive application - it did data quality checks and could have been implemented in a much more cleaner and flexible way using, e.g., PostgreSQL.
OLAP questions are usually out-of-band and preferably by a tool designed for it (like Clickhouse). Scanning all DB's is something that can be done in the background for most of these use cases.
What's wrong with that? Of course it will work fine; SQLite, with or without WAL, has a ton of protections against corruption from writes-in-progress, which is what makes hot backups work.

Why not only do this and use an s3 sync instead? You can safely backup SQLite databases while they're being written to, so no need to export (dump) them; just copy the files themselves.
This might mean that your entire backup/restore strategy is just to copy some files. If so, that's ideal.
(Of course, s3 sync does require reading as well as writing, so perhaps just increase your cron job to run more often so it fits within your RPO)
It doesn't take more than engineers to maintain an open-source browser, though. Why does it have to be a company at all? Remember Firefox? Firefox was literally just an act-of-love fork from some engineers from a dead acquisition by a dying dot-com era behemoth.
Put another way, does the Linux kernel or the Python language need to be run by a company, or will foundations does these jobs ok?
There are plenty of open source projects that are enormously successful without a single lawyer or project manager in sight.
Both sides agree that America has provided at least $100 billion and possibly up to a half-trillion in aid and other consideration to Ukraine. That's a fair bit of money!
And, if Zelenskyy is to be believed, it was a "grant", or a gift, which makes Zelenskyy's disrespectful attitude and hubris in the White House even more outrageous.
Possibly there isn’t a critique of his behavior because there isn’t a critique to be made: from a website like hacker news where every reasonable position is usually represented, it should tell you something that this is unanimous.
If you watch the video of the meeting there not very much to criticize re Zelensky's behaviour. I mean he says he's defending his country, Russia invaded it, making agreements with Putin is hard because he keeps breaking them.
I will say in favour of Trump is he is trying to make a deal to stop the fighting and did threaten economic sanctions on Russia.
Trump and Vance’s behavior seems outrageous for leaders of the US. Zelensky certainly didn’t handle everything perfectly, but in comparison he looks like an actual president.
Technically, Zelenskyy instituted martial law and cancelled Ukrainian elections, so although he is the undisputed leader in power in Ukraine, he's not an elected president.
Do actual presidents show up in sweatshirts and insult their benefactors?
He’s been very outspoken about why he doesn’t wear suits.
And my god if you think he showed up and insulted Trump, think how anyone would feel if you showed up for a photo op and got tag team bullied by the US president and vp.
Complete legal arguments as well. If I was an attorney, I'd love to have a sophisticated LLM write my crib notes for anything I might do or say in the court room, or even the complete direction that I'd take my case. For some cases, that'd be worth almost any price.
