I had something similar happen to me just the other day. One of my websites was running slowly. I had run out of AWS CPU credits. Did some investigating and finally found the root cause. I had a background backup job that downloaded some re

Battle.net used to have unique usernames. People would just add numbers to their name to make them unique. Then for starcraft2 they added a 3 digit number - basically same system Discord uses - to differentiate usernames. But why? How is th

I own an EV. I love it. I charge in my garage, plenty of range for my every day uses. But recently my charger broke, and the replacement charger did not come in for 3 weeks. Without being able to charge in my garage, finding a place to char

I like the idea of taking the camera and calling that the "hunt". Same experience, except the animal survives for the next hunter. I dunno, not a hunter.

Been playing around with Flutter the last few months. Still has some rough edges, but the ability to target every major platform with a single code base is very cool. The way the UI is laid out with the widget tree is new to me but fun to l

The software is mostly just hobby/paid apps that do have a bunch of users. It would be difficult to turn that into open source although I've thought about doing pieces of them before.

by david422 4y ago
Cool, thanks. Almost all the websites basically come with a dynamic portion - ie backend doing calculations - so would be hard to capture that piece.

I have a bunch of software/websites that I run. If I were to get hit by a bus, they would all go offline and there would be many confused users. There is no-one that could pick up where I left off. I have on my todo list to make a dead

That looks great! That's the sort of thing I have in my head and never ever would complete. Congrats to you :)

Same. I figured I could be out of the loop but ... so are other people.

The max length isn't for the user though. It's to prevent the user from inputting more data than the system can handle.

> users of credit cards are de facto subsidized by cash/debit payers in the US Yes, sadly. So you have to play the game in order not to lose, and playing the game means that the credit cards take their cut, which means everyone lose

by david422 4y ago

Because you have to mouse over, wait half a second, then find and click the app you're looking for? I'd rather trade screen real estate for time.
