That's not my impression, most people I know here in central Copenhagen ride old beaters that cost anywhere between 50-150 EURs, it's a balance between comfort and price: You don't want your bike stolen.

Slack made it easy and fun to connect with your coworkers, it wasn't unique, but it was a right time sort of thing. We had chat systems before like IRC, Hipchat, Campfire, Flowdock (We have used them all), but with Slack it was the fir

We also ended up with Postmark (after an unresolved security incident with Sendgrid) and it wasn't easy to setup multiple domains with Mailgun.

Mailgun and Postmark are both pretty good.

They had another product called Mandrill that did transactional email, they discontinued it, but also allowed old customers (which also paid big $$$) to keep using Mandrill, perhaps that is what DO used? We left Mandrill because they had a

I've reported many strange bugs to jcupitt and I can speak to his really helpful and patient nature. My favorite one was when JPEG2000s that had an even width was being shown in greyscale on any mac app: Preview, Safari, Pixelmator, et

I only know of CA because they bought my beloved Flowdock and did exactly what you describe, and it didn't survive, forcing us to switch to Slack. I think Broadcom owns CA now.

What do you mean by switching packaging managers? Ruby uses Rubygems and Bundler to manage packages. Are you referring to Ruby version managers that manages different versions of Ruby (rbenv, rvm, asdf, etc.)?

In pre-pandemic times I worked from home and to get out a bit during a day I would have a coffee and work from the local pub. Depending on the time of day I showed up there would always be the regular pensioners starting their first drink o

We use Redislabs to run a redis-cluster for us, it helps our team not to focus on how redis works in clustermode, failover, failure-modes and routing etc.

I’ve started playing with data from OpenStreetMap. It started with me trying to fetch all the places where I could get water when moving around Copenhagen, which turned out not to be as easy as first envisioned, because OSM seems to have a

They did try moving to mobiles, I used to have TomTom Navigator on my Symbian phone (Nokia N73), it worked quite well back then! But you needed a seperate bluetooth GPS device because my phone didn't include a GPS-receiver.

I guess that was destined to happen. I still use my 6th generation iPod Nano, mostly for radio, but the usefulness of it is dwindling as more and more stations move away from the FM-band and go digital, it's still a cool device and it

I love Sentry. But my team settled on Honeybadger.io which is fine, but I still prefer Sentry.

Denmark have been breeding pigs to have a higher amount of piglets, but it makes the death rate higher, about 25.000 piglets die a day, and the pre-wean mortality rate is ~21%. We're also exporting the technology and knowledge of breed

Even if you've firewalled you machine, Docker will happily open up the ports to the world, you have to run it with "--iptables=false" to stop it. I accidentally opened up a Redis test-instance to the world like this.

The BL-5C is a great standard for internally mounted batteries, for externally mounted ones I really like the Sony NP-F550.

That's a fair point, but I wonder why the SE users aren't spending enough money/time in those apps ;)

I also have an original SE, and it's not only websites that renders strangely, also apps are sometimes unusable. I guess iOS developers forget to test in lower screen resolutions just as much as website developers.

Yes, TSA can ask you to unlock your phone and automatically grabs data from it, on iOS you can get around the automatic grab by pair locking your device: https://arkadiyt.com/2019/10/07/pair-locking-your-iphon
