   That may be true, but if you look at the distribution it puts out for this, it definitely smells funny. It looks like a very steep normal distribution, centered at 0 (ish). Seems like it should have two peaks? But maybe those are just getti

   Those are not the right population metrics to compare. If you're talking full Bay Area, you might as well talk NYC metro area (MTA claims to serve 15.3 million [1]). Tokyo's even trickier, but I think 36 million [2] seems closer

   Why so negative? Given that the served population is conservatively a quarter of either of those areas, doesn't seem like a fair comparison. More to the point, I've been favorably impressed with the transit options since moving he

   One reason you might not want to run it in production is if it's not a read-only query.

    Unless I'm misreading the link, those numbers (~600k/yr) are global. Still, staggeringly high, and concentrated in a region.

    OP didn't say it wasn't more portable--just that it being more portable doesn't always mean it's better. Sounds like for your use case, portability is very important and trumps the benefits of an IDE. That might not be t

    Would be interested in hearing what heroku users are using for automated failover when heroku goes down. Obviously can't live in the application code (b/c that's unreachable at that point), but is there an easy way to configu

    Thanks! Glad to hear it. I will be an especially happy camper if this means that file folding works efficiently.

    Gitlab is great! Most major downside from my perspective is that the diffing functionality is much worse than Github's. Super slow + resource intensive.

    Ok...but the point is that after they achieve the monopoly they can jack up the price to well over a thousand dollars without worrying about losing market share.

    What if when you vote you were given one real sha, which shows who you actually voted for, and then one fake sha, which would show the opposite? As long as only you (and the vote aggregator) knew which one was which, you could produce &quot
