Ironically due to slop I feel like we are regressing as a civilization

2020, want to know how to use Redix for Redis connections in Elixir? Google it and the results were most likely high quality, written by senior engineers who knew what they were doing

Today google that, and it will be endless amounts of slop

> Redix for Redis connections in Elixir

For some searches I've started to limit the date range to pre 2023. That drastically improves search results (DDG, but I imagine Google as well). As long as you're looking for more long term information/posts ofc.

Well after 50 years we cant reproduce what Apollo did, and I would doubt current students of the same age would handle a 1912 Eight Grade Examination: https://www.bullittcountyhistory.com/bchistory/schoolexam191...
