Yeah that's the thing making my head spin, tack a 30% profit margin on that and it's 550usd per day? Probably going to be more than that for rocketship growth and investor expectations. Is that the game? Lock in companies to this

Ah a fellow Aussie, hi! Sorry to hear about the redundancy (Atlassian?). I did implicitly assume USD but yeah still crazy cash, that'd pay for 2 junior-mid level devs in aus D=

Alpha Centauri yes, the edge of the universe no :D Edge of observable universe is something like 46 billion light-years away, even at 0.9c thats 50 billion years of travel (22 billion years experienced by the traveller) But yes, you can t

That would be an accurate summary of almost all software. Either it's quickly produced and thrown out the door as it's a startup trying to iterate and find market fit asap or because it's a bigcorp who's metrics are all

No, the majority of people use something a lot of Americans struggle with "Public transport". The MRT and bus system in Singapore is great for getting around to the point that you don't need a car, but if you Want one it

Premium economy is a thing, but debatable on the sardine thing. Basically closer to "old economy", where you have leg room and real utensils

I recall using ntlm rainbow tables to crack windows hashes in high school in like 2008? Amazing that this is still around and causing someone enough of a headache to justify spending money on. Also amazing what a teenager with lots of free

Fair enough! I had a cursory search in the post for mention of conduit and couldn't see anything obvious so wasn't sure. AFAIK fibre cable should be pretty flexible, though not a massive fan of tension. From memory bends shouldn&#

Came to the thread to see if anyone else had mentioned conduit. It's cheap as chips and saves you a lot of future brick cutting or concrete breaking

Question from a casual bystander, why not have a virtual/staging mini node that receives these feature file changes first and catches errors to veto full production push? Or you do have something like this but the specific db permissio
