As a cyclist, I am also trying to get somewhere, and I don't enjoy being on the road with motorists either. Based on your comment, I have to assume we live in different areas. I live in the city, and generally it is better and faster t

A lot of relational databases offer a better (or more useful) consistency model than k-v stores, assuming your data isn’t just a bunch of keys and values. Having to worry about consistency can significantly your worsen complexity of your ap

I guess in practice I have seen a lot of race based persecution and discrimination, not so much religious persecution. Not saying it doesn’t exist anywhere or for anyone, but based on my own experience, saying “love the lord god” feels way

Well if that’s all you’re doing in 2022, there’s nothing wrong with deploying your code and grepping logs over ssh. Bash scripts and offloading some of the complexity of management to AWS (e.g. use autoscaling) goes pretty far

Comparing the first rule to something based on race is a bit of a stretch.

Kind of depends on what you’re building, right? Avoiding building new features in order to limit complexity is probably a good idea in select cases but not in others. Using more complex, purpose-built technology over standard boilerplate is

Maybe I’m just young, but what field that you work in that you feel it’s worth investing in preventing the need to stay up to date? In my field, I find myself needing to learn so much every week that the idea of learning a new IDE or someth

Not pictured: 2005 your average box served some php and static assets, connecting to some generic relational database. Reading logs means grepping files over ssh. 2022 your architecture runs in the cloud, has multiple flavors of databases,

After a couple of years away, I returned last week. Yes, the e-bike program looks quite promising. Closed State Street is a no-brainer, although I've heard a lot of NIMBY-types are opposing it for some reason. But, after living in San

Santa Barbara is kind of an interesting informal case study. It's hemmed in by steep hills and the Pacific ocean and a lot of the available area has already been developed. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.4127513,-

Or you write a public open letter, accepting the risk it might cost you your job but deciding that it is your highest leverage option to enact the change you want to see. What’s your point, exactly..?

Used to work on Alexa. I interpret the response you are getting from Alexa as “The song isn’t available on Amazon Music Free Tier” (or whatever) and not “The song isn’t available on Spotify”. Your query gets routed to different backend serv

Poor phrasing, but the OP was making the case against caste discrimination, not downplaying caste discrimination. I read it wrong at first. Not the greatest take either way. "I'm from a different culture and I don't notice it

Shorting something propped up by insane levels of hype is a recipe for massive losses. As they say, the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Shorting things you disagree with morally is also a terrible idea, unless

9 to 28 times? I figured “excess events per 100,000” means if the control rate is e.g. 200 events per 100,000 then the observed rate after vaccination was 209 to 228.

I mean, how many people _really_ are using this feature? And what added benefit do they provide to Google for being "early evangelists". Not defending Google, just a little surprised people think that being an early adopter would

This comment section has some major boomer energy. Anyway, my take on this is different from the author's. He cites the following as (anec)data: 1) According to MRC Data, old songs now represent 70% of the market share 2) The 200 most

Seems unlikely that if we had working fusion, unnecessary red tape owing to both fusion and fission being “nuclear” would be the main stumbling block. That seems like something that would be easily fixed.

Why would including a story with a recipe make a non-copyrightable recipe copyrightable? Every recipe I can find on Google that isn't from a super-site with already strong SEO includes some sort of life anecdote. I find it hard to beli
