I worked there. All the internal tools are amazingly polished. I’ve never seen anything like it.

It’s confusing, but the “salvage” label here has nothing to do with the title, which is clean in this case. It’s a label used is by Tesla - which means it’s not allowed to use super chargers due to safety concerns. They don’t want a janky Tesla causing serious injury. Honestly it’s a good policy by Tesla and will help incentivize owners to get quality repair work.

The difference is that buying a ticket isn't marketed as "opt-in".

And equally as important, you can cat a CSV file and easily understand it.

I quit Stripe after only six months because the pace, stress, and anxiety were not worth the paycheck.

If all you need is lightweight jobs like transactional email, I highly recommend suckerpunch.

What, from this article, led you to this conclusion?

Also, the engine has little-to-nothing to do with the plugin system.

Also the borrow fee for shorts is insane now, like 23%.

It’s prison, I’m sure there are lots of bibles.

Yes. IIRC they were going to let him publish the story, he just had to remove everything about Joe Biden, lol.

I've heard from some large event organizers that EventBrite is taking similar measures: delaying payouts to event organizers until the event has concluded. I heard from one organizer that they were told by EventBrite that they were not going to see a payout until 2021 for their Labor Day 2020 event.

edlebert — Fri, 08 Nov 2019 21:41:09 +0000

Also, to be noted, Github was a Rails app since long before there was native support for adding foreign keys. I've worked on a lot of large monorails that were created in Rails' early days and none of them have foreign keys.

I could be wrong, but I think it's the same internals of a 6S. I have a 6S and it still feels plenty capable.

I would add: the trackpad is way too big. I accidentally touch it all the time when I am typing, which causes my cursor to move.

New comment by edlebert in "MailChimp vs. Amazon SES – How I Reduced My Monthly Bill"

edlebert — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 21:06:42 +0000

Aaaaaand that's why I no longer use Amazon SES for transactional mail for signupforms.com. It is frequently used by mass-marketers, which means my transactional email was frequently being dropped by some email providers because of SES's poor deliverability.
