   I guess it depends on how many cards you have. I suspect it's also a limit of the first run costs, and could increase in future. Personally I only have one card, so I don't really have that problem :D

   I'm somehow seeing a blurry yellow line down the middle of the white area, which I think is an illusion caused by the yellow on the sides. It's quite painful to read.

   I actually rather like it. I had a similar idea a year or two ago which became something more like a text snippet site, but I originally had ambitions along these lines.

   I find a lot of the types quite annoying, like the byte arrays etc. I'm sure I'm missing out on the benefit but it'd be nice to have more human readable variable types. I also found passing JSON around inside it quite awkward

   Oh I agree, I just wish they offered a different tier or something around half their current prices. I'd be willing to pay more to host with Rackspace as I've had great experiences with them in the past, but I just plain can'

   I run 2x2GB, 2x1GB, and 2x512MB servers on DigitalOcean for only slightly more than one 2GB Rackspace server :\ I understand why their costs might be higher (excellent support staff, always had stellar support from RS), but it doesn't

   Thanks! The current server setup is: 2x2GB servers (web+workers), 2x1GB servers (DB & replicated backup), 2x512MB servers (one HAProxy loadbalancer, one running redis & memcached). All running a fairly recent version of Ubuntu, base

    I must admit that it has mostly been my laziness, mixed with a variety of real-life situations (girlfriend finishing her PhD, me having a tonsillectomy etc), which have delayed me adding paid account support. I'm finally back into the

    Aye I have a number of features planned which will need subscriptions. One of them is the ability to host your own portfolio site on the platform, which I'm planning to add fairly soon as I need it for my brother's and father&#x27

    I hope it's useful! It seems to have a small number of dedicated users right now, a number of whom have said they'd like to support the site. I think I'm going to aim to get subscriptions in within the next month. I must admi

    Currently https://www.photographer.io is costing me about £100 a month to run, as its income is only via referrals to Digital Ocean until I add a subscription model. I've been holding off for a few months as I don't fe

    Personally I'd like to see timezones disappear too. Why does 9am have to be morning in every country? What would be so difficult about everyone in the world sticking to one timezone? Hell we could go all in and start using star dates.

    If only I had a fireplace; one of the main things I really miss whilst living in a flat. And jazz + rain is a superb combination, although I've found that discovering good jazz is one of the most difficult tasks I've ever attempte

    My partner follows that; it's quite hard to tell the difference between that account and most people over here though. We're oddly predictable complainers!

    I have a somewhat opposite problem; I can't work at all during the summer. I can't deal with heat well and can barely think straight if I get even slightly too warm. This summer in the UK was unbearable in my new flat, which appea

    My mum won our N64 in a toilet paper competition, which was great because we wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise. My brother and I spent so much time together playing on it and I don't think I've ever enjoyed games

    I suspect a lot of the problems with British English come from how many different influences we had in the origins of the language. It doesn't really make much sense because it's a weird bastardisation of Germanic, Latinate, and C

    I'd actually say that the English most Europeans learn is very compatible with British English, and I very, very rarely struggle to understand them. However I do quite regularly cause issues when speaking with Americans, as the differe

    Thanks for the suggestions! The only problem I have with Scandinavian TV is that it's -so dark-. Most of those are semi-horror or crime shows, and that's far from a bad thing but it's hard to watch a lot of it in one sitting

    I've wanted to learn a second language for years, and Scandinavian languages are really interesting to me; the benefit being that Danish/Norse/Swedish all have a lot of similarities, so it'd help when learning multiple l

    This will hopefully signal a trend of newspapers other than The Guardian standing up against privacy issues (I've no doubt it's already happening outside the UK, but there's a language barrier for me in reading them). In the

    I agree; it's really not that similar to Medium. Medium don't have a trademark on off-black text on an off-white background!
