The most annoying thing to me about VS Code is it cannot be extended in a way that doesn't require developing a plugin. In short there is no ~/.vscode.ts. Instead you have to create a plugin to add custom commands. I say this a a

My go to local hike starts at 450ft above sea level and goes to 1150ft sea level. However it has many ups and downs so the total ascent is ~1250ft. To the top of the mount/hill and back to the trailhead is roughly 4.5 miles. So to &quo

Doesn't help that you have to write apps in their proprietary language.

I recently had the need to build an internal system that distributed workloads across many workers via a client/server model. I did the proof-of-concept using druby [1] and it turned out to be so simple and stable that we just ran with

Many people love to travel to exotic far-away destinations in the US too. Many of these people look down their nose at people in the suburbs who drive large SUVs as being wasteful. People always want others to do the sacrificing.

> private jet flights Why not all flights? It shouldn't be so cheap to fly for pleasure OR business given the climate externalities caused by _every_ flight.

Muir was a racist yes, but also he just really didn't like anyone. He was generally just a mercurial and unlikeable person. I read a biography of him, A Passion For Nature, a few years ago. I knew nothing about Muir going into the book

No, it's pretty much an sqlite problem. As good as it is for limited concurrency situations (and synthetic benchmarks like this expensify blog), it does not compare to mysql or postgres for mediating hundreds or thousands of transactio

No one is running their OLTP and batch processing workloads on sqlite (bedrock or not) at scale. There may be unique cases for specific situations but show me an org with large and broad concurrency demands running sqlite at scale and I&#x2

I spend a fair amount of time in northern New England and my mini takes a while to connect and sync up (10 minutes or more in some cases) and requires more or less stabilizing it somewhere where there is no tree cover. I wonder if these var

10 hours ago we had a flood of network failures in us-central1 and saw no GCP status changes. We blindly attempted to mitigate in various ways (freezing HPAs because we thought that we were making excessive calls to external infra and getti

They are down about 7% over two weeks in my New England city. A bit moreso in the rural areas. OP can call it a "plunge" but it's down from literally the highest I've seen it in recent history to just slightly less of th

The systems in kubernetes for horizontal auto scaling are extremely nice and work very well for our large monolith. At this point I can't imagine deploying any system with significant batch or online workloads any other way. We switche

OP is talking about CO2 emissions. 20% of Maines electricity generation is fossil but the vast majority of that is natural gas, which they get from New Brunswick (as does NH).

Most folks globally (and domestically, tbh) probably know Wagon Wheel not from OCMS but from Darius Rucker who sang a cover that made it to #1 on the country charts.

A lot of negative sentiment about Mapbox in this thread. I have been prototyping a (native) app powered by Mapbox -- would it be a bad idea to hitch oneself to their ecosystem?

We don't know what Elon makes a year because money gets very weird at those levels. Loans are effectively free so you don't have to "make money". Accounting chicanery is pervasive. So you have to start somewhere, which i

Elon was able to leverage his vast personal wealth to secure loans to _buy Twitter_. His purchasing power doesn't extend solely to what he is able to liquidate. In any case he can liquidate a million dollars a day in holdings and burn

I assume the #1 public schools in Massachusetts are Cambridge/Beacon Hill? There are many more reasons why they would be best in class than de-emphasizing football.
