There was a great Twitter thread last year where it was asked if people in the past looked older when they were younger: https://twitter.com/BMcCarthy32/status/1210350854571585537

It says that they believe they shouldn't be allowed to add users if their service level doesn't allow it.

What's not clear from the article is how the extra charges of adding users is communicated. If you have two users and you attempt to add a third, does the site say "Your plan allows X users. By adding another, your plan you will be upgraded to Y which is $99", or does it say nothing, allow you to perform the action, and hope that you don't notice the email some time in the future. If so then, I see that as a bit of a dark pattern, others may believe that's perfectly acceptable.

I could be completely off the mark, but would an animation make it difficult to spoof. I can't now just use a photo of the cloud? Of course it could be that it just looks cool :D

Yes, Obsidian has a few options specifically geared towards importing Roam markdown: https://i.imgur.com/eDtRXSX.png

Any existing use of [[link]] style ones will work natively.

You can export all your notes as Markdown or JSON. Obsidian, for instance, even has a plugin to faciliate importing your Roam notes if you choose to migrate.

DDG has a Reddit bang which does the same: !greddit

I'd be interested to know a bit of detail as we're looking into Grafana/Promethus a bit.

As a side topic, what leads you to say Kotlin is all but dead?

An alternative that works great for me and my wife is having two double beds pushed together. We have the flexibility for both space and closeness to both sleep comfortably and when I come to bed later at night I don't disturb her.

Well it's good that you are finding that your experience of parenting is giving you the balance that you need. Not everyone's child or experience is the same.

When you have one child you give them all your attention. When you have two you divide it.

When you have one, maybe it take 5 minutes to change a nappy, then you play for 10 minutes after. When you have two, you then have 10 minutes of nappy changing time, then only 5 minutes to play. The time is reallocated, not added to.

Yes. Even though our 17-month old has run of the place in a safe space, it only takes 5-10 minutes of no attention for him to come running up and trying to pull me somewhere. As above, this makes any sort of focus impossible.

The Twilio integration also requires an existing Whatsapp Business Profile AFAIK.

I'm curious to know how the integration with WhatsApp works? Is their business API now publically available?

Two points that I would change when doing OKRs:

KRs should not be binary. They should be stretch goals. If you're hitting 100% on your key results you need to be setting your sights higher.

KRs should be things you can "influence" and not things you "do". It's the difference between "Get 100 subscribers to my newsletter" and "Write 100 blog posts". Or to use the example in the post, the difference between "Earn a X% return on my investments" vs "Read 3 books on investing". When you create key results around things you do, you run the risk of spending your time focusing on things that do not move the needle on your objectives. Last thing you want is to reach the end of the quarter and find your efforts have not had a tangible benefit. This is the classic "Outcomes" vs "Output".

Your wiki is absolutely brilliant. This is something I've been really wanting to get into and you've given me a lot of inspiration and ideas.

No account needed. It just works off local markdown files.

I'm on HS too, but finding that occassionaly apps require 10.14+, which is making me consider upgrading.

I had to disconnect from my VPN to be able to view the page.

I thought they have only banned the farming and consumption of wild animals? I can't find any reference to banning wet markets.

I _just_ received the following email:

  if you're reading this it's too late. we have your data.

  here's where you live:
  *****

  how do we have this data? we read this:
  https://link.medium.com/esfwWoQ4f4

  so what are we doing with your data? not much (that's good!)
  
  we're just using 377428 emails from their customer database   to send this mass email (that's bad!)
  
  because right now, ANYBODY can do what we just did, and they might do something really shitty with the same data we took

  we don't want that. the guy who wrote the medium artcle didn't either. he warned slickwraps and they didn't do shit

So even though they develop apps that have millions of downloads or that businesses rely on for their in-store point of sales, you don't consider Shopify qualified to speak on mobile development?

No way we could get 2 seats in our small 1-Series. While it's fine for my wife when in the passenger seat with the child seat behind her, the drivers seat would be far to forward if we were try to and fit one behind me.

The Pheonix Project and The Unicorn Project are two good audiobooks centred around Devops and Software Development.

I don't seen how problem solving competitions are any measure of worth for a language. That's like saying, teams that wrote tests didn't complete as many of the problems, so we shouldn't write tests. What about maintainability, ease of refactoring, catching of bugs during compliation time etc. There are tradeoffs to everything, you just have to decide what matters most to you.

This looks interesting, but I have to say the screenshots that only show outlines and no real content make it really difficult to get a feel for what the product actually does. I had to watch the video to get a better understanding.

Strange that 3 of the top 5 Java projects seems to be Chinese based coding notes as opposed to actual software. The only real project in the top 5 is Elasticsearch.

The Apple folio keyboard is actually really good. Even compared to my 12" Macbook the 11" iPad Pro is still more portable, plus I use the Apple Pencil a lot.

Being able to code on my iPad Pro would be one for me.
