Old warehouses were built very differently compared to modern office buildings. Specifically, office buildings are made to the load requirements of office spaces, with their symbolic walls and furniture. You may have trouble putting even ba

The point of DEI is to have the widest possible distribution of life experience among the group. Of course 12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men would have different life paths, but if you project them on 2D graph and draw a circle around them, t

This is all true until you 30-something. You won't believe how your family culture and values kicks in when you become full-scale adult with non-delegateable responsibilities and other adult-life quirks. And then a midlife crisis punch

The problem with Postgres is that out of the box, it is not much different from SQLite in terms of availability and scaling. You need to add a Pgbouncer before it can handle multiple connections, and you need a really complicated dance to m

I think it would be fair if Spotify abstained from charging me for my subscription if I listened to less than 100 tracks in a given month.
