They use to be (along with Lyft). But it's been a very long time since that was clearly true. In reality I think you can get better experiences than a taxi with a rideshare service…

Glad to see this article. Always hearing about the terrible MVCC in PostgreSQL and yet not hearing that any sort of versioning management is going to be about trade-offs. I spent o…

From your own original comment to which I replied: "but I never stated this was actually used in ancient Rome." Now you're saying: "Yes it did begin in ancient Rome." which the art…

The very first sentence in your article is: "It began in ancient Rome." It's not there as a quote, it's not there as "it was claimed to begin in ancient Rome". It's just the simple…

As a couple of others have mentioned, the original split between the original Java Edition and the now Bedrock Edition happened in 2011. This is several years prior to the 2014 acq…

I guess this is one of those cases where, "if you know, you know." I'm not sure of the link on the post though... I didn't see anything at all that jumped out as pertinent to this …

I have a Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 monitor which basically does this. It basically has a simple KVM built into it. So my keyboard and mouse connect to the monitor, but then the monito…

Just one quick note... > ...(although things like Postgres’ hstore can help)... Back when this blog post was written, this advice would have been reasonable. Today, I don't know an…

I can't help you with any of those questions... but back in the 90s I use to be one of those employees that looked at the image on the screen and typed the address information in S…

There were several editions. My copy (sitting on my bookshelf as I speak) was the '73 edition (though I think a later printing), but they did revise it including releasing it for t…

Yep. Ahl's book was first released in 1973... about 10 years before GW-BASIC.

To be fair to the original commenter though... the actual title of the TechCrunch article is: "NASA picks Eric Schmidt’s rocket company for Mars mission, setting up a race with Spa…

> What do electric cars and rockets have in common? Electric motors? I imagine there are differences but the super heavy grid fins are electrically actuated (I have heard these mot…

Unless you are seeing the population decline issues in China... then blame socialism and it's long time one child policy. A system predicated on the socialists in power having a so…

> Postgres was written in the 1980s This is a pretty poor take. Sure the software that we call "PostgreSQL" started to be developed in the 80's... but they didn't stop there. Postg…

If you're going to try and use this analogy, you need to compare Elixir to Kotlin or Scala or Clojure rather than Java. Elixir is a language written for the BEAM which was created …

Check this out... https://rubbishtalk.com/media-kit/ Whoever put this together couldn't even be bothered to compete the template they were using.

Sort of... this was version 3 of the engine, a fairly big redesign and for version 3 this was the first flight.
