Isn't that per year? I'm on their bigger $90/year plan which is excellent.

On 17 October, there was a multi-AZ network failure at us-east-1. It only lasted 3m35s, but it was enough that our customers were calling about our site being down.

What if Watson read Conservapedia thinking it to be factual. That's a startling thought.

I took several years away from the front-end to focus on Backend and DevOps, only recently re-upping my front-end-fu. Since I knew CSS 2.0, I found Bootstrap quite easy to pick up and be productive with in about a day, not previously knowing CSS griding. And I found myself saying over again, holy shit where was this back in "my day"!

They also make a ridiculously amazing Solar charger array, which when I took across a border to Israel, had the inspectors in serious awe and wishing they could get one as inexpensively as we can in the States.

This is the same shit as happened in cities like Chicago during the 1920s, with the same cause: prohibition. I wonder when our incompetent politicians are going to realize that ending drug prohibition is the counter-intuitive, but well evidenced solution for this tragic decades long tragedy?

That's easy to fix. Use iTerm2, and tell it to remap modifier keys (to unflip them). If you use mission-control shortcuts (like move workspace), configure those keys in iTerm2 to "don't remap modifiers"
