I've only ever brought one Apple product and it was a refurbished "blackbook" - really was a no brainer, I got the top of the line model for the price of a base model MacBook with no discernible difference in quality. That la

Monzo offers a similar thing, where you can generate a link to send someone to request money. They also have a feature where you can discover nearby users and send money that way. I've found it to be very useful for splitting bills whe

Lightsail is basically an EC2 instance packaged with an ipv4 address, storage and bandwidth to compete with low cost VPS providers. I personally use lightsail for most always on things and then just use ec2 for on demand workloads, because

Can you please clarify what control you are gaining using EC2 over lightsail? (And why it's useful for your stated purpose)

This can be difficult to integrate into CI systems though. I don't recall ever seeing a way to allow interactive input during a CI pipeline to provide a 2FA token. I'd argue that a completely automated release pipeline still trump

How will this work with say typescript? It's pretty common to not commit the transpiled code - do you expect this to change, or would this check basically do a build + pack and then compare?

Pre-lockfiles I had multiple instances of a new version of a dependency being released that didn't follow semver correctly (it can be hard to identify what constitutes a breaking change at times). Without a lockfile this was a pain to

After working with it for a while you get used to the ugliness from prettier, but still I really wish JetBrains would release their formatter as a prettier alternative / competitor.

We actually kinda have this after some serious earthquakes - you (now) always keep some tinned food, bottled water etc and just rotate it out now and then.

Sounds a bit like the plot of parasite. I tend to agree with the other comments though - take away society and the threat of legal consequences and those hired guns have no real reason to be loyal (in most cases)

It can be problematic when you go to look up the account by email address during login and it isn't found due to inconsistent casing. It's technically true that the part before the domain can be case sensitive, but as nobody does

Yeah we did it this way on an app I worked on in the past, try the verbatim input and then a couple of minor variations in casing if it didn't work. I've also found that for email fields you need to be careful to normalize the inp

That's a really fair point - I had forgotten about the various manufacturer stores as I've never used them. Come to think of it, distributing an raw APK isn't even that unreasonable (though more difficult to get exposure) - A

What alternatives would you suggest? F-droid is the only one that comes to mind for me, and I'm not sure that this would be suitable for this company

This is the sort of tip I've been looking for! We (NZ) got a gift from the UK of gorse bush which now runs pretty rampant, but interestingly it's now being used as a tool for repopulating native plants, as it's hardy nature m

I've never been to China, but I'm curious - is it possible to connect to EC2 instances in us/eu? Anything stopping an SSH tunnel or wireguard to such a machine?

I've found a can of clean compressed air to work pretty well for this, with less risk of damaging the contacts than with a sharp object

Datagrip from jetbrains is a really nice tool, works great across mysql, postgres, mssql and big query in my experience. Supports a bunch of others that I haven't had a need to use yet. From memory the EAP builds are free to use, throu

I generally feel much more likely to be robbed prior to entering the tube stations (eg walking under Putney bridge). Once inside I'm conscious of potential pickpockets but no longer expect a mugging as a serious threat. In contrast NYC

Sometimes this is a symptom of an oversized connection pool at the application level. It might be worth monitoring for how many of your connections are actively used Vs idle - you might be surprised Otherwise I find pgbouncer to be a good s

I tried to get my zire 71 working a while back but sadly it wouldn't come to life, presume the battery gave out. It was a wonderful piece of technology though, especially in the pre smart phone days

It seems like this is aimed at use cases like a contact form hosted on something like GitHub pages - where you're limited to a static site, and assuming you don't want to run your own server side handler. I have one site that is g

It's not a perfect solution but I use headphones as a symbolic door. Headphones on means sending me an email or slack that I can respond to in my own time is preferred, off means I'm fair game.

Interesting, I wasn't actually aware of that. Checking my running server with 1024mb of RAM, docker appears to be consuming ~50mb of that. This is running 17 containers of nginx, postgres, nodejs, haproxy etc. I'm ok with this lev

Is it possible to embed a link that uses POST in an email? I can't think of a way unless form tags work, but then the link wouldn't work in a plain text email reader

Last I checked k3s required a min of 512mb of ram, 1gb recommended. Is this not the case?
