Know when to shitcan a bad idea rather than death march your company into oblivion by not concentrating on the core business and customers to deliver the bad idea.
Nope. Someone else already announced what they’re doing at least a year before and also, it’s Google, who don’t have a good reputation among colleagues and friends. We all have our own Google horror stories that invoke disinterest in their products and services.
Similar weird problems in portrait mode on my iPhone 13 Pro. My youngest daughter comes out looking like an unholy tellytubby on crack for some reason.
Got fed up of trying to negotiate with the bastard thing and bought a Nikon mirrorless instead. Absolutely no regrets.
I think they are load testing their github acquisition...
Had this on eBay a couple of times. You need to photograph the package before you send it inside and out if it’s worth anything significant. UPS and Hermes at least won’t pay out on delivery unless you have some evidence.
Other option is hire someone with a chair leg to go and get the parts back. If it’s eBay look at their for sale list - some people are stupid enough to relist what “didn’t turn up”.
Nope I don't take any drugs of any kind. Low fibre in keto diet caused an obstruction and perforation.
Usual eBay tactics. I’m a long term seller on eBay and it’s a shit show. The only reason I use it is because the market is the best out there.
EBay don’t give a crap about anything once fees are collected.
Working in the sector it’s everywhere already even if you have multiple bank accounts or not. The banks are by far the least of your worries.
HSBC are notorious bastards and I fired them ages ago.
They transferred £2000 out of my account randomly one day with no cause or explanation when there was £118 available in it. The next day they froze the account and a specific contact at HSBC forced me to make a repayment arrangement for the money. I refused and opened a dispute and it took me 14 months to get it back and all fees incurred for entering an unarranged overdraft. It ruined my credit rating for 3 years. Every contact I made with them was handled by someone utterly incompetent or disinterested in solving the problem even when I involved a solicitor.
Never an apology, never an explanation, never a true resolution.
NEVER work with HSBC. ALWAYS keep your finances distributed between multiple accounts.
With Santander mostly now who so far, touch wood, have succeeded in not fucking anything up. Halifax as a backup.
Constipation believe it or not.
One that actually works properly and doesn’t sound like ass is revolutionary. That’s where apple win.
The tiny little notepad2 window on my otherwise perfect 200% scaled windows laptop says otherwise. Windows HiDPI has been a constant shit show for me.
Not going to list them here but I suggest you go and do some research of the side effects and risks from actual medical research not HN users.
For me it ended in a few days in hospital.
This is terrible advice. Any fads are. Ketogenic diets are not good for you in any way.
Bad behaviour starts with acknowledgement and the best way to do that is to track what you eat and learn to adapt slowly and develop self discipline. Use a tracker app and set a reasonable daily break even nutritional target and start thinking about what you eat. Slowly substitute better choices in. Eventually you will develop self control.
People want quick fixes but keto just breaks other things.
Oh yes egress pricing is horrible. That’s why AWS/S3 looks nice to backup to but that first restore costs big time.
One killer no one seems to notice is the bandwidth between availability zones. When you have a proper best practice cross AZ deployment it can be rather expensive. But still cheaper than switches and humans and cages and data centre contracts.
These comparisons are fairly meaningless even on IaaS only class deployments. Instance costs aren't necessarily the biggest cost or the best cost optimisation path in the cloud.
For example our S3 costs are higher than our EC2 costs and we made a productive saving implementing lifecycle and S3 IA migration. The biggest EC2 cost reduction we made was through careful analysis and moving some stuff to Lambda, not by changing provider or instance class optimisation.
Whatever happens though, you don't know what the costs are going to be until you get the first bill, regardless of what you estimate.
The point is commitment allows you to optimise cost of baseline capacity. The only real benefits of the cloud are one cost centre, scale out without capex.
Quite frankly if you’re in the cloud you’re locked in one way or another.
Executable data was never a good idea.
It’s not dull really but I find it laborious and sometimes stupid. The sense of achievement has been sucked away by deep rabbit holes of research required to decipher even the simplest tasks. The retention and value of knowledge has declined due to the transient nature of everything too. Every day is a catching up session for something which is either horrible or will be replaced before you’ve finished the job.
I reserve the label stupid specifically for templated YAML which makes me want to strangle people fairly quickly.
Been hiking for a long time and do really long hikes. Eventually an epiphany or moment of self realisation will appear out of the blue. I had one at the weekend which was somewhat life changing.
I’ve had severe deliverability issues with SES. You’re pooled with a lot of bad actors and occasionally you get a blacklisted outbound. They have a reputation system but it’s far from perfect and requires manual intervention if you’re blocked from sending which is a real pain.
For personal stuff I’m using iCloud+ domain hosting now after moving from fastmail which was also trouble free.
Good points there about longevity. If you're doing any EDA work you need to drag the EDA product through the lifecycle of the design. I have seen whole computers with OrCAD for MSDOS dragged along with a product just so the toolchain didn't get shafted.
Google did this to me when I was signing up for a GSuite account. Decided I wouldn't risk my business with them then.
Did you read the rules before you posted your original snarky fulmination?
It's not a good teaching tool if it tells people to do stuff entirely the wrong way against every bit of engineering experience out there, which is exactly what it does.
Actually no. Just go KiCad first and skip the mistake of using Fritzing.
This. 20 years in, I hate it. But the money is good so it enables me to do things I really love.
