Yeah my M1 is still insanely snappy. Would be nice to have some extra legroom for things like compilation, but I'm far from feeling this device isn't sufficient for me.

I was getting this from inside the US, however setting my VPN to LA worked to get around it. I assume this is because that's where the Meta engineers are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: Once accessed there is this note:

Same way the man that knew nothing about rockets built the company that builds the world’s most sophisticated launch vehicles.

By understanding problems and then solving them. I cannot think of a more universally useful skillset.

This is a strawman. The homeless schizophrenic is clearly not capable of caring for themselves, so their inability to participate in society should not impose restrictions on all businesses.

The problem you cite is not solved by requiring businesses to accept cash—it is solved by removing the homeless schizophrenic from the depravity of the street.

Legal residents absolutely 100% all have _access_ to cards, whether they choose to use them is another matter.

This is a good argument against cards, but does not address GP's claim that card-only payments is discriminatory.

How on earth is requiring card payments discriminatory? Providing cash payment options is absolutely not free and implies extra risk on behalf of the business.

Refusing to take part in the banking system is not worth penalizing businesses for. Let the free market work.

Interesting, but why does it matter that I actually keep the same the same statistical distributions of data in development as in production? What are the use cases for that kind of feature?

My startup used Fly for almost a year. The core feature of code to deployed code in less than a minute is beautiful. Spinning up / down new nodes for backfills takes seconds.

But the company feels a little immature. Once our API server became unreachable in Fly for 48 hours. I'm not sure if it was my fault for getting config wrong or if they just had another "silent" failure. They have a "db" product, but it's "not managed postgres". Would get consistent disconnections from that. Just feels weird for them to add a top level noun in their cli for postgres and then limit the extent it's a feature they support.

API access to their core service would frequently go down and leave us waiting to deploy new service fixes.

I miss the deployment experience, but I'm frankly happier with Cloud Run on GCP. Just way fewer "surprises" and much more complete documentation.
