As a native English speaker, I never learned formally about irrealis, so it's not possible for me to have forgotten them :P "Things I wish I had known" and "Things I wish I knew" both sound right to me.

What open source databases support automatic sharding? I think their only other option would have been something like cockroachdb, which probably wasn't very mature when notion started.

In order for Google to match my FB offer, I did need to show them evidence of the offer amount (just an email from someone with a facebook.com email address casually confirming the numbers was sufficient). I thought it was weird, but luckil

Hey! I went through your comment history, and you seem pretty similar to one of my friends haha. If you're down for a fun experiment, email me at my username @gmail.com.

I have a lot of friends who worked at Uber around 2015. I didn't accept an Uber offer because they were all insanely burned out.

My understanding is that clients would have to use an outdated version of Chrome, which is probably an untenable ask.

Cool, this is great! I was working on a multiplayer game and I found it difficult to make client movement smooth. Are you using client-side prediction for the player's movements?

Great story! I've had a lot of debugging nightmares, but thankfully never anything as bad as that. One thing that looks fishy is this branch: if (container_tasks_len == max_container_tasks) { printk("cplayground: ERROR: co

I love my Model M, but it gave me pretty bad wrist pain. Now I use an Advantage Kinesis.

How do we know the source isn't just spreading FUD? I'm as skeptical as the next guy, but the writer's poor English is making my BS-sense tingle.

Same thing happened to me. I was in the single digits for Vitamin D, and my doc had me taking 10000 a day (or week) I think. Within a month, I started to feel way more energy in the afternoon (I used to feel dead by 1pm). I also mysteriousl
