That headline appeared in a local newspaper in Corvallis, the town where Oregon State University is located. In that context it's pretty clear, but agreed that on HN it's very ambiguous. As an Oregon State University graduate I as

I was curious about ice claws and found this informative: http://lakeice.squarespace.com/ice-claws/ Edit: and if I'd read a few comments down I'd have found this without Google.

I've ridden Bird scooters (which are just a modified version of this [1]) quite a few times in San Francisco, and while they can usually accelerate a little faster from a stop than most cyclists do, I've found it easy to just matc

So traffic is down 5% from March to April by these numbers. But there are also 3% less days in April, so that's a lot less significant than it seems.

This is a great looking product, thanks for following up here. Can you speak to what kind of durability you expect to achieve once persistence is in place? Is it reasonable to treat this as a durable datastore and simply have a disaster rec

I think you should elaborate on the specific threat model you're describing. Are you assuming a dumped database? Or are you talking about a brute force against an online service?

Thanks, that makes sense (and provides good context for the article). So for a cluster spanning multiple regions, one region can support low-latency reads for a given range, but reads in any other region will have to go cross-region to the

I'm curious, what sort of read latency is achievable with CockroachDB? Does it support some notion of tunable read consistency in order to achieve lower read latency at the expense of consistency?

SNI usually implies that TLS is being terminated for multiple domains on a single computer, but the process actually rendering the HTML (in this case I guess it is Google Sites) may be running on a different computer entirely. It's dif

I don't know if they'll do it, but I'd love for them to offer a hosted VSCode product. It seems technically fairly feasible.

At what time of day? Currently Google maps shows a 20 minute drive from SOMA to downtown Oakland vs 40 minutes to PA. If you're trying to use public transit obviously the difference will be even greater.

I'm not sure which way you mean this, but I'd be surprised if less than 80% of transactions in the US were on a credit or debit card (though I'd love to see real numbers, my anecdotal observation is surely biased).

First off, thanks for your work on Vagrant. I've had my frustrations with it, but over the years it has been an invaluable tool. That brings me to this: I wish I could pay for Vagrant - not just the VMWare Fusion plugin, but a fully su
