Basecamp (and 37 Signals) has been a MySQL shop forever, so I'm sure they have a ton of operational experience with it. There is no reason for them to switch to Postgres at this point, for much of the same reasons a place like GitHub i

Thank you for this explanation. So much of what I’ve been reading about the fed / stimulus response has felt rotten to the core, but I’ve lacked a clear explanation for exactly why. It’s impossibly l to know how this will all play out

The infrastructure and delivery is just fine. You can start a podcast easier than ever now. The difficultly is in creating good content, not serving mp3s and RSS. Discoverability is certainly a concern, but only because there is _so much_

Of course, but if you are lost in a good book, you don't notice when one chapter ends and another beings. You are lost for hours, and don't think about changing to some other article or paper.

I actually assumed it was from the GitHub blog from the front page link, so assumed it was from former colleagues / friends (I worked at GH, and know many of the fine people there). Then I realized it was just a random GH repo and some

Having a 15 inch touch screen set off to the right as your main user interface in a _car_ is insane. This is taking the stupidity of touch-only volume controls to the next level. I don't care how good the autopilot is, if I can't
