Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong are simply in a class of their own. imo, Shanghai and Guangzhou have decent systems. Compare China's urban areas to Asia's other major developing nation…

Yeah, I also own a dumb Prius and love it nostalgically.

I've been using Autopilot for years, but recently subscribed to FSD for a long weekend roadtrip. It changed my mind on the value of FSD. While unfortunate for consumers, it cleans …

Emotionally, I agree that the current system sucks. But how exactly do you "[put] median housing titles in the hands of median people"? Government seizure and redistribution of pro…

I'd agree that China is preparing to be cut off, but it's not because of Taiwan. Dan specifically mentions this: "In vain do I protest that there are historical and geopolitical re…

No, WhatsApp charged a $1 annual subscription fee prior to 2016.

You should include state taxes, which in CA's case tops at 13.3% and 3.8% NII, bringing the total to 37.1%.

Sure. I don't know if 'unstable' is the best name for everyone, but if the industry decides to spend the engineering time to rename default branches, we shouldn't be just be switch…

The name 'main' feels overloaded, just like naming the default branch 'default' or 'development', with the risk of "Who's on first?" confusion, especially when branching off branch…

Spending engineering time to save sales time is only viable at very sales-oriented but lower ACV products and even in that case, onboarding is generally focused on very core produc…

> These are good values. But the way progressive culture enforces those values socially is pretty intense. I hadn't drawn this delineation before, but I find it apt. I grew up Asia…

Assuming you pulled it straight from the sea, it'd probably be salty and slimy. The internals of cells are mostly water, protein, and DNA, which don't really taste like anything to…

Hi author here. I actually just learned this from you. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/sql-prepare.html will be my lunchtime reading. Thanks!

They actually link to another blog post ( https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2018/06/14/scalable-increment... ) that solves this with pg_sequence_last_value(). I personally couldn't fi…

Agreed. Short questionnaires are always a pleasant surprise.
