In addition to shifting my schedule and getting sun in the destination, I've found melatonin to be extremely helpful in reducing jet lag. When flying to Asia, I start taking 5mg the evening before I fly and try to go to bed early. In b

No, this has nothing to do with Google's rapid release cycle or versioning scheme. As stated in the article, the API is stable so, it makes sense to switch to a semver scheme.[1] From an engineering perspective, this is a system that m
