I’m staying in a French seaside town at the moment, where a new MUP has been installed from sea front back through the town within the last year. It’s fucking crazy dangerous. I’ve had to yank my 6yo out of the way of some asshole riders

I had mild nitrogen narcosis once at about 15m (regular PADI open water diver) despite doing similar depth dives before. It was a worryingly pleasant experience. Like 3 or 4 pints on a warm summer’s afternoon.

Your line of thinking was that Pulumi uses terraform providers under the hood, right ? It’s a good question. I suspect several forks might be happening as we speak.

I’m really loosing faith in Hashicorp recently. Moving away from the easy-to-predict flat rate Team pricing and to a new model based on number of managed resources ($0.000004 per resource per month or something like that) was just wacky… …

Teams doesn’t even implement scrolling backwards through message history correctly - it’s like some kind of janky game of precise mouse control to see if you can get it to stay still on the message you’re interested in.

Exactly this. I remember regularly taking text-to-speech calls from a non-speaking Mac customer when I worked on tech support at an ISP back in 1998. Must have reconfigured MacPPP a dozen times before we finally got him up and running. He

He’s had his wrists firmly slapped by the SEC, but I’m not convinced he’s perpetrated fraud at the scale of Theranos. If he’s lost his own money on stupid projects, that’s fine ? Hitting it for six once an over is still a good innings…

If this is a product a significant slice of the smartphone-owning public want, then why isn’t it already on sale ?

I mean, it’s not happened yet… I’m assuming there’s a non-zero chance that the removable-battery (inferior) versions might be contained to the EU and the rest of us get access to models with non-removable (higher capacity) batteries.
