Money and material possessions don’t mean anything. You hit a point where nothing you can buy has any impact on your life. The man cave is just papering over the pointlessness of your existence because none of our existences have a point. W

Sounds like the account is flagged for ~reasons~. I've never had to contact sales to get any quota increases, so I guess it's YMMV. See dekhn's comment for contact details.

I’m doing this right now with a bug in the Linux kernel. It takes something like 5 hours to repro with a very specific condition because it’s a SMP race / ordering bug. I literally haven’t slept properly since I hit the bug because onc

Every new Stripe feature is like “only 0.5% of your transactions” until you’re paying 10% to Stripe. Woo, where do I sign up?

Varnish and VCL were the hotness at the time Fastly was coming up so it sort of makes sense, but Varnish also doesn’t support WebSockets, can’t proxy GRPC, etc so they’re very limited in functionality vs CloudFlare. I doubt they’d build it

You’re sort of reducing yourself to a cog in a machine, rather than a person with like… passions and emotions and likes and dislikes and, you know, stuff that makes you human. There’s a lot more that goes into a hire than technical proficie

You still have to unlock your phone and any competent password manager makes you type the password at least once and has options for how often you have to. If someone has your phone and your phone passcode you’re kind of hosed anyway.

Always, always use a bigserial. (Actually, all serials are bigserial’s but the “base type” they add to the table differs, and it’ll always come back to bite you later. Ask me how I know…)

I recently had to restore from an iCloud backup that contains all my messages (which I never and will never delete) and it took over 24 hours to restore them. The restore daemon actually downloads every single image and attachment you’ve ev
