    It's also a real option with CockroachDB, unless you need regional sharding. Which a lot don't actually need anyways.

    Switched to Firefox for like 6-12 months, eventually moved back to Edge a couple of weeks ago. Had to open it constantly anyways. I couldn't get used to Firefox's DevTools and the …

    Which DB doesn't support UUID as a type so I can make sure to never use it?

    Hyperloop is crap, just go with highspeed trains. They get the job done in city corridors. But you can't have a train stop in front of your house... Nor can you build massive tubes…

    So? Okay, we're not there yet with autonomous vehicles, and have spend tons of money on it. But the tech we have now didn't exist a decade ago. Give it another decade.
