I don't know what "public transit population density" is, but there's probably no reasonable measure whereby Boston, a city, has a lower density of any human thing than Germany, a whole-ass farm-heavy country.

It's the equivalent of the basic ticket in each city so guests, children, bike, dog, etc. will all vary based on whatever that offering is. Regardless it guarantees the purchaser transit. It's still massively simpler than actually

"Saudi" is not just a demonym like "German" or "Chinese" but a specific political program, and even a specific small set of extremely bad people . Fixing that would not make a "free Saudi Arabia of free S

You also said "such an openly xenophobic way." I reject the idea that a) the framing is xenophobic in this case, and b) it needs to be framed more generally before we can fix this specific case.

It is wild to me that this is trotted out when "Saudi" is both a demonym and yet also an actual ruling family name . (And for context, I think it was accurate to describe it as a xenophobic "Muslim ban" and I think &quo

I don't particularly like Kubernetes at all, and while I like Kafka it's definitely overkill for the kind of system discussed in the article. But I gotta say, 87%? What the hell? I had >98% uptime with the first Kafka tooling I

Nishikado has been interviewed dozens of not hundreds of times about this same topic since the 90s. There’s nothing new in this article, it’s missing a lot that’s in most others, plus it’s at least half ad.

I'm just a little sick of this getting trotted out as a factoid when it's patently ridiculous, like they never noticed it or that compensating for it in some way was impossible. There are actual unintentional mechanics like the

Wow, this is more depressing to me than any of the worries around licensed sets. Most of the available sets don't even have any gearing. 42144 looks nice, but I swear I paid at most 2/3 that for 42121 ca. 2013.

No, this is an Icons / "Creator Expert" set. The Central Perk set was an Ideas set (and I did see that in stores here), but nobody called that "the Friends set" because it's confusing.

When that's the case the kimchi is fine, though. Here in Germany it's usually mediocre sushi and intolerable kimchi; instead if you go to a cheap sushi place you should often be ordering the pho or the bún.

Gochugaru only became a common ingredient in kimchi in the 1700s (before that black pepper was used for the jang), but maybe more surprisingly napa cabbage only became common during the 1800s.
