We've all done that at some point.

That sinking feeling when your quick update doesn't return immediately.

Good to get into the habit of wrapping your queries in a begin transaction/rollback until you verify the result 😁

Yeah, it's insane what it costs. We spend about $20k/month and that's after a big oush to reduce costs.

I'm sure that's tiny compared to many but like I said we're only about 20 employees.

It's pervasive as well, all those SasS products are probably running on AWS or one of the other big ones and so their cloud bill is baked into the prices. You end up paying them a dozen different ways.

I work for a really small company (20 people) that uses AWS. We discussed moving off and concluded it would be a multi year effort. I can't even imagine how much work this would involve

I the clearest indication of this is that we have not seen any products to displace existing market leaders.

Same here. Full time WFH since St Patrick's Day 2020. I've been to the office less than 10 times since. I've not worked a full day there once, if I do go, I travel on company time.

I used to drive 16,000 miles a year, now it's more like 4,000.

A UK plate is 2 letters, 2 numbers, 3 letters. That's over a billion combinations.

He's such a hypocrite. Was criticising the arrests for social media posts before.

Yeah i have to use W11 for work and the brand new Dell XPS, upper mid range, they gave me compared to my 2017 i3 with linux and all this is true.

About the half the time i boot it and the network just doesn't connect. Wired or WiFi. Have to unplug the dock and reconnect it. DNS will drop for 10s at random.

There's times my laptop shows it age like i was bulk processing a load of photos, just resizing, and it took several minutes when the newer cpu was probably several seconds but that's the hardware, not the software.

Thats going to take some practice 😁

I use futo, didn't know it had 2 finger swipe but now i try it, how do you type like this?

Im trying it now, do you use one thumb for each side of the keyboard?

My wife claims pip and application is awful in every way. I cannot believe there is anyone that successfully gets pip who should not. I find it much more likely that there are many people who should get it but don't because their disability prevented them filling in the application.

What are you on about? This is the cost of writing a prescription which is free for humans on the NHS. This isn't about the price of the drugs which can be anything for pets and £9.90 for humans.
