That may be true, but if you look at the distribution it puts out for this, it definitely smells funny. It looks like a very steep normal distribution, centered at 0 (ish). Seems l…

Those are not the right population metrics to compare. If you're talking full Bay Area, you might as well talk NYC metro area (MTA claims to serve 15.3 million [1]). Tokyo's even t…

Why so negative? Given that the served population is conservatively a quarter of either of those areas, doesn't seem like a fair comparison. More to the point, I've been favorably …

One reason you might not want to run it in production is if it's not a read-only query.

Unless I'm misreading the link, those numbers (~600k/yr) are global. Still, staggeringly high, and concentrated in a region.

Nitpicky/unsolicited UI feedback: I do a lot of double/triple clicking to highlight text as I read online (fidgeting, but also helps keep track of where I am). On your site, triple…

OP didn't say it wasn't more portable--just that it being more portable doesn't always mean it's better. Sounds like for your use case, portability is very important and trumps the…

anyone have a good resource for finding groups interested in studying same stuff as you? meetup.com seems fairly limited on this front in my area (DC)

Thanks! Glad to hear it. I will be an especially happy camper if this means that file folding works efficiently.

Gitlab is great! Most major downside from my perspective is that the diffing functionality is much worse than Github's. Super slow + resource intensive.

I'm a college graduate who'd love to take a couple college classes (math, maybe econ and computer science) in my spare time. I don't care about getting credit in any form, though i…

Long projects can obviously have high returns, but what have you done in less than, say, 5-10 hours, that’s had an outsized (positive) impact in your life? Can be in terms of satis…
