   A family member recently got a long term fixed low rate mortgage in Belgium and I’m curious about how different things are compared to the UK. UK mortgages are higher, shorter term. Is the Belgian bank losing money compared to the UK one? I

   And it's not just for developers who might be using the expensive stuff (git, storage, CI minutes). Also for members of the org who only use tickets.

   I should point out that multi-level epics are only available at Gitlab's $99 per user per month level. We wanted to use them, but it's not worth that much. Jira is a lot more flexible and cost effective in this regard.

   I heard somewhere that all of those wonderful unshielded ports posed a barrier to entry in the US market. Fine in the UK. Not fine by the FCC.

    Thanks! That last one lists 84 results. None looks obviously like 'main'. Trying a random one: bazel run //in_memory/clustering:graph ERROR: Cannot run target //in_memory/clustering:graph

    Can someone with familiarity with Bazel give any clues how to build? `bazel build` does something, but I end up with `bazel-build` and `bazel-build` with no obvious build artefacts.

    You don’t. SQS works fine in Localstack.

    Except it accepts some inputs that URI balks at. I don't recall the exact case, but when I was trying to toleratly parse a URI, I fall back a URL and then convert it to a URI.

    It's up there with "java.text.SimpleDateFormat is not threadsafe". SONAR catches that at least.

    I recently had a wild ride with using java.net.URL and java.net.URI, to parse and deconstruct URIs so they can be stored in a database with at least a little normalization. The documentation page is great but the API is bizarre. So many dif

    FYI the images are very low resolution, which is a shame for a graphical application. Looks like image srcset is set to max out at 800 px. On my screen that's stretched to nearly 2000px which makes it very blurry!

    I've got one. For what it is, I recommend it. The fit and finish is very nice, especially for the price. It's a little bulky, and not waterproof. Not an every-day watch. The software is basic, but I was able to recompile it and re
