I would think climate would make some difference compared to California. I wonder how much though.

Happens in Scala too: scala> 1+2+"="+1+2 res1: String = 3=12

There is a deeper level of vendor lock-in for serverless vs servers as well.

Houston's urban geography is not appreciably different from that of LA. Other than it's a lot cheaper. Yes, the weather is terrible and there are no hills or mountains.

From the article: > Most of the children born into households in the top 20 percent will stay there or drop only as far as the next quintile. And rewritten a bit, it sounds rather …

Basically, it's Australian

Not only was it possible to do everything in SMIT (or smitty) on the command line, smit would tell you the exact command line and options that it was running for any given operatio…

Seems like it should be possible to rate limit failed logins, and of course failed logins on a per-account basis.

They actually do say "unlimited phone, and 7GB tethering". It's very explicit, and limited tethering is a specific part of the "unlimited phone" plans. And as the article says, if …

Oh, they're different. They cost more, take five or ten times as much plastic to make, take more fuel to transport, and take up more space in landfills. Think about just how little…

Well, that makes sense. But then, the cost of the bag should roughly reflect the cost of all these external harms from using them. What if it turns out that the cost is something l…

Does Austin allow give-aways of re-usable bags? I am not familiar, but I somewhat doubt it. Those bags typically sell for 99c in San Francisco. The 10c charge is for single-use bag…

Also it's not clear to me that the environmental resources required to wash a reusable bag on a household scale (sink, water, soap) is lower than that required to produce a disposa…

Couple things: * BART is straining these days. During commute hours, it's basically at capacity. The Bay Bridge is also at or over capacity. * Housing within walking distance of BA…

A "height restriction" in paris is means a seven-story building, while in SF, it's a three-story building.

There's where it's shot, and there's where it is run from.

Cab drivers who drive out to drop someone off are very likely to hurry back to the dense parts where they can pick someone up. Uber is able to cover a large hailing area, so if cab…
