I always wonder about kids who skip too many grades or who get college degree at 12. Even if they are intellectually there, socially life would be a nightmare. Imagine being a 12 y…

I agree with this. Most people need just 2 years during grade 11 and 12. Starting earlier might give minor edge at best but more damage to other aspects of personality and growth! …

I have had the same experience. I tried a BMW X7 and could never get a comfortable seat position. There were just too many controls. I only wish Tesla has thigh extension. Otherwis…

Thanks, I will take a look at it. It looks really expensive though!

I meant mongo support for sharing might be marketing fluff. As in they promise it works but it might be unreliable. I have come to trust Mongo with CRUD on a document. Rest of the …

I am not sure what is the exact use case. They could be using it for a non-critical data warehouse which could easily be recreated. If you can deterministically determine your use …

I have been watching these threads forever. I personally like Mongo and wanted to added some real life perspective to it. In the end it is a tool which fits some scenarios.

You are correct. This was in the case of replica set. Are you running Mongo yourself. I use to be at MLab, but Mongo Atlas is really good. Give it a shot!

Thanks for raising this good point. I didn't get a chance to elaborate on this in my original post because it was getting too long and it was end of a long day. The cost of adding …

There were many questions asking about recent experience with MongoDB. I have some recent experience so wanted to share with everyone. My background: 2007-2010: Used MySQL to run a…

This. That’s the sole reason I bought an SUV.

As mentioned in the original post, I don’t want to install additional software. If I was open to that Karabiner would be perfect. Thanks!

One problem with this is that it’s a combination keystroke involving two special keys and tab. That is bad for your fingers especially if it something like tab switch that you use …

I don’t install any addons on my browser. Wish Firefox worked just like others.

Only reason I haven't moved to Firefox on my Mac is that I can't reassign keyboard shortcut for tab change (without using any external software). Firefox default is Cmd-Shift-[], w…

I grew up in India and loved driving stick shift. Once I moved to US, I transitioned to Automatic. Biggest reason I miss Stick shift is that, it just felt that I had a stronger con…

I agree. He bought a used Mercedes for 390/mo while in college and not paying loans. What was wrong with having a used Toyota Camry for 8k?

To do that I would need to take up a job at some big tech firm. If someone in my situation is forced to do shut down his startup and work for a big firm to stay in US, imagine how …

Till recently, best and the brightest meant physically fit and having a gumption and desire to achieve something better. So US did get the best and brightest till recently! In toda…

Agreed! People who think Companies wont go this far, need to look no further than the wage suppression agreement between Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm …

It will take 2 years to get a temporary Green Card. Even after that it take 2+ years to get Permanent Green Card, and it depends on a third party creating and maintaining jobs. So …
