a fun fact, in Melbourne there's a lane called "bionic ear lane", located just behind the royal victorian eye and ear hospital which I believe was where the first implant was installed

Not sure if it still exists, but a few years ago there was a bug that if an alarm was created using Siri, it wouldn’t make a noise at the set time. It would show as a switched on in the clock app, but wouldn’t actually do the one thing it was meant to do.

Accidentally took a wrong turn and drove over this once and had to cop a toll despite turning back around afterwards. Was well worth it for the experience though!

There’s a large spectrum between skiing on an uncrowded slope alone, a crowded beginner trail, hucking cliffs and backcountry in avy prone terrain.

I don’t think the risk profile can be all lumped together.

Much in the same way that cycling on the road has a different risk profile to on a bike path vs downhill or freeride mountain biking.

This was the concept behind Path.

Was just using the energy vic website and thought I'd been rate limited when their API stopped working. Seems like it could be this.

Have you ever considered whether you may have ADHD?

Not saying it’s the case. But if so, that would be an explanation that would make sense to me.

The opening paragraph reads "Today, we're excited to announce D1, our first SQL database." read: first

and well R2 and D2 would make for a great naming scheme.

So can we assume that D2 will be postgres/mysql ?

My dad has done it twice and I believe the first time (56:13:00) he didn't sleep at all. The second time, 12 years later was 70:21:00.

Congrats on the ride! I still don't quite understand what it takes to be able to push through beyond what most people would consider immense fatigue.

Did you find it harder physically or mentally?

Has anyone used both Livewire and Hotwire/turbolinks and can compare their experiences?

Thanks for a helping me score a few great deals over the years!

I’ve always been curious, how much % of your traffic is from the ozbargain posts compared to people coming to the site directly?

Also is there much to be made on affiliate commission on flights or is it just optimistically hoping for hotel/car reservations?

I've had friends in their 20s have their GP deny them getting it.

In Melbourne the hotel isn't just close to the city, but directly in the CBD a couple of blocks from Flinders St Station.

Can you shed any light on what the codebase is like?

Using it feels like there are two seperate templating libraries and apps that are serving different routes. Is there any truth to this?

Those of you that work in DevOps, SRE or are CTOs.

What kind of things do you put in place to manage these kind of centralised issues that are beyond your control?

Things seem to have come back online in Australia, although not sure if that's just sites switching over their DNS?

They were actually sold off and are owned and operated by 7-11 Australia, not Starbucks anymore.

Curious if you have any stories from working on this? I'd love to hear what some of the hardest problems to solve were?

I was at a club in Tokyo 2 years ago and Pedro played a set for a couple of hours there.

Later on that night, I saw him on the other room’s dancefloor soaking up an 8 hour set from Laurent Garnier. He’s in it for the music.

Does anyone know of a hosted Clickhouse service?

I'd like to use Clickhouse but on a very small team without an ops person, it feels like a liability managing a server ourselves.

I'll bite, what happened?

Something seems a little off lately with the sudden uptick in PR/guest interviewing/attention seeking behaviour as of late.

One can read the french language without being french.

Braintree only takes the $0.30 and refunds the percentage.

You can have a USD bank account, but Stripe won't pay out to it, they'll only pay out to an AUD account and take the 2% along the way.

This was what was sent to us:

Your account has been upgraded to Stripe Billing for free. No matter how much revenue you process on Stripe, you’ll get unlimited use of Billing’s Starter plan included in the price you currently pay for payments. All new features are available in your account now, no API version upgrade necessary.

If Stripe pushed ahead forcing an additional 0.5% with no new features adopted, that's pretty predatory and the kind of rent seeking that will leave a bad taste in a lot of people's mouth which then when starting new projects won't be looking to adopt Stripe with the same passion they did years ago.

This is infuriating. I've been told so many times that it's 'coming'. 5% of top line revenue is pretty significant and now an added 0.5% feels like a slap in the face.

Braintree have offered it for years so this might be the final motivation to switch over.

It's been around 7 or 8 years with Stripe now and it just seems like they are prioritising heavily increasing their average revenue per user at all costs.
