I'm not defending the restaurant as I hate this as much as the next person but I'm sure the fee was mentioned on the menu - probably in small print and this was omitted for the sake of a good story.

Fly is great. I know the Fly team has an aversion to it but I really just wish they would hire some database folks and take on managed Postgres. I'm already running 8+ apps on there and it would be the peace of mind needed to move the

Pretty much everyone in the UK overfills the kettle and boils it 4+ times per day, I'd imagine if we could just get folks to boil the correct amount of water here the energy savings would be far more significant

It's a shame because the product really is excellent and engineers in general are particularly allergic to such scammy hard-sell sales tactics

This is great in the short term, but does the law covers what happens when a superior format is invented in a few years. Are we stuck legislated to the old plug?

This may be true, but Drax has received billions in UK taxpayer subsidies for being carbon neutral. No matter how you look at it processing and shipping wood from old-growth forests in Canada to burn in the UK is just not that.

I guess I'll ask the same question that I ask every time a search product appears here – does it handle languages other than English? Last I checked Meili search was still English-only, for that the inbuilt Postgres search is honestly

Like lots of folks in the replies I have had previous employers write up letters explicitly excepting named projects from any ownership implied in the general employment contract. Of course it helps to have a good relationship with your man

The community has been fantastic for translating Outline too, we've dealt with some small bits of abuse and misunderstandings but the result is currently 21 languages supported, most with over 80% of the application covered. It's
