Perhaps evergreen blog posts are an oxymoron? I don't see my computer going back in time and updating a file in /var/log - it's append only. But regardless, the switch to a non-blog format is correct.

I upvoted an unpopular opinion, and I think it's worth reiterating. The autopilot feature in this case probably saved the guy's life and other drivers around him - if he was drunk, his decision to drive probably wasn't based

Yep, simple comparable: Atlassian's market cap is 19.981B [1], with $874.0 million for fiscal year 2018 [2,3] Now, Atlassian sells other things beside jira/confluence (the asana comparable?). It also has a github-like comparable

But in Japan, is the culture there to associated all the Mc's with McDonald's, like in America? Do they even have the "Dollar" menu (Yen menu?). Anyways, I doubt naming McKernel had any thoughts of McDonald's and t

Sure, not every moment in life is a teachable or eureka moment. But the more chances people have to interact, the more chances to gain a better understanding of each other. Without even the opportunity to interact, that divide and chance t

Thank you SF. Too many scooters littered on too many corners of streets - makes walking near places like hospitals quite the hazard. The litters don't seem to care since they're not in the area.

I think the approach to learning that new language is not correct. Master Java. What I mean is, learn how OO can be used to solve a problem. Learn why immutable classes were advertised as a best practice. Don't learn Java-isms. Lea

Yep, that's fine - highlights the complexity of implementing the ordering in a linked list. The fundamental thing is that both columns aren't needed, only one column is needed to determine the order.
