Housing prices change. Rent prices change. Here in SoCal I was going to buy a place but the pandemic hit so we decided to rent. Our rent payment is about half what we would pay if we bought. Just look at the last two places I rented: Rent1:

Started looking at Elm this weekend as a possibility for it to compile into other languages (javascript/elixir). Its too bad every release requires most packages to be rewritten. The good news is that releases are getting slower and sl

It reminds me of how last year (and still ongoing) we saw heaps of meditation apps. It just seemed completely counter intuitive to me (as a Zen practitioner) to introduce something needlessly complicated on probably the simplest (not the ea

I agree. However, I stumbled into the world of KV stores (like RocksDB, LMDB, LevelDB, etc..) last year, and what is most surprising is that they all stop in the same place. I understand that they should do one thing and one thing well, but

From what I could tell, its tikv is virtually useless without the rest of the tidb (the MySQL layer that sits on top written in go) to be useful. TiKV has no replication / sharding built in, that is actually handled by a Placement Driv

All of this has been possible for the last century. For instance, at least in Russia you just get an actor that looks like the politician, film them doing some bad stuff and blackmail them. Pretty simple. We have had doctored photos/vi
