I guess it's all about which 8-bit we have fond memories of but ... the C64 is not known for having a great palette. It looks rather dull and washed out. The Amstrad CPC probably had the most vibrant palette of all of the 8-bits. A C64

A critical factor of success in achieving long term goals is to schedule corresponding daily todos on a calendar. Because if something isn't either obviously urgent or scheduled on a calendar, it never gets done. For this reason, I sor

we can just nuke the caches for all the domains that turned on the problematic features (Scrape Shield, etc.) No, IIUC it's MUCH worse than that : a single nginx process would serve many different domains, and you would only need on

This is usually true, except when it's not : I have personally experienced a near-catastrophic situation 3 years ago, where 13 out of 15 days' worth of nightly RDS MySQL snapshots were corrupt and would not restore properly. The r

I'm not sure what you mean by "20-25% layer", but there are other taxes besides income tax in the UK too : National Insurance contributions, Dividend Tax, Capital Gains Tax, etc. Overall, it's definitely less in the UK,
