    It is funny isn't it? I believe it was the opposite direction mostly though, as you say, "railway... and light"; to solve their own problems of powering their infrastructure to mov…

    They didn't, no one asked google to do it. It was Paul Buchheit's 20% project. Google saw a good thing, solved by someone who knew what they were doing and where they wanted it to …

    This is just crazy. Lets ask the power company to build some trains for us. They transport electricity, they _must_ know about transporting people. They can power the lines themsel…

    Maybe this is the right angle to crush it... two wrongs make a right? Hmm.

    If Canada wasn't having it's own immigration and post-secondary issues, this would be great. But no, we already shot ourselves in the foot with that...

    In this case, I believe the capitalization is a hold-over from raylib's c library, Odin doesn't appear to put any preference? In Go it has a specific meaning: starting an identifie…

    Similarly moved from Arc to Zen; hopefully this will allow for multiple windows/views into the same set of tabs? or at least a future possibility.

    This. Exactly. Alberta and Saskatchewan did not exist as independent colonies. Treaties were with the federal government. This is a non-starter and will never happen as WEXIT separ…

    Canada's population grew by over 3 million since the last election. So yes, the parties will get more votes. That combined with the utter collapse of the NDP and Green party votes,…

    Yeah, this is really concerning. The handwaving around "keeping the ui up to date" by hosting it on ui.duckdb.org instead of embedding it doesn't taste great to me. At least it's h…

    I... am not sure if this is a joke or not. Grindr is not a community or posting tool. It's a hookup app.

    "Healthcare in Canada is essentially not available" is not the truth. It's not great. It's the worst it's ever been while I've been alive. My uncle recently passed and it's likely …

    This was very much my first thought as well, that the costs of these buildings are far higher than schools of the past. It's good to want nice things, but there is a tradeoff. Ther…
