My wife died suddenly when my son was two years old. He’s almost seven now. So far, he’s completely fine without her. He claims he has memories of her, but I think he just remembers photos and videos that we’ve watched together. I don’t thi

Anecdatally, by default, we now block all Chinese and Russian IPs across our servers. After doing so, all of our logs, like ssh auth etc, are almost completely free and empty of malicious traffic. It’s actually shocking how well a blanket b

There’s another fun thing we can call the Britain test. The short form for September is Sept in en-GB, the only month abbreviated with four letters. It’s Sep in en-US and other en- locales. All other parsing is identical. For example, if yo

Hi. I wrote part of this flow for SAS on the original mobile app years ago. I am so sorry. We had to do it because the underlying backend is Spanish and the APIs are insane. Behind our JSON-wrapper is an adapter to translates it into telety

You pay the agency a one off fee for the recruitment (I think it was GBP6000), and the nanny is your employee, so they keep their entire wages. The nanny also pays a yearly membership fee to them, but I don’t think it’s very large.
