I've worked as a programmer in Tokyo. In general programmer salaries are much lower. I think 50,000€ - 60,000€ per year would be considered a very good salary at a Japanese company. Worth looking into the overtime hours at the company

I didn't even know Cloudflare offered a JAMstack platform. I'm going to switch as I already use Cloudflare for domains.

I noticed this too. That is pretty dodgy considering Better is council affiliated. I was able to avoid them taking the next months payment by cancelling my direct debit from my banking app. I also recommend virtual cards https://

When I worked at Wimbledon Tennis Tournament they had a team of lift operators whose job it was to push the button. Definitely seemed like a bullshit job to me at the time. I'd be moving supplies up from the basement and they would be

I don't think the experience needs to be shared. Steve Jobs was making a comparison to headphones https://youtu.be/bQECSInWVPY That is the way I think of it. A pair of headphones for your eyes.

You can use `managed = False` and `db_table` to have another model pointing to the same table. `managed = False` will stop Django automatically creating schema migrations. eg. ``` class ReadOnlyUser(models.Model): email = models.CharF

No worries. I was considering buying another pair or headphones just to workout in, but all I really wanted was for my AirPod Pros not to come loose. These hooks work so well. Surprised Apple don't sell them.

For anyone who runs with AirPod Pros I recommend "AirPod Pro Ear Hooks" that you can get on Amazon for like £10. They keep them in your ear really well. Edit: The ones I have https://amzn.eu/d/3ihERHb

Can someone give me a layman's explanation as to why taking Twitter private would allow Elon to make the changes he wants to make that he couldn't do if it was still public?

Is it a given that if you drive in the US you are going to get stopped by the police at some point?
