It's important to distinguish between a backup strategy and a backup location. A real backup strategy would involve multiple locations (3-2-1 etc)

Sorry to hear that :( Our app is doing fine, possibly you are relying somehow on their API? In any case deploys are also down so not much to do about it.

Sorting by expected finish date seems be broken - it sorts by strings

Had that happen to me as well on a 15-inch Touchbar. Left speaker made a horrendous sound on viewing a YouTube video and is now silent. Could probably be fixed under warranty but it's my work machine and can't have it taken from me for 2 weeks which is how long servicing / replacement usually takes in Bulgaria where I'm in.

I guess the goal is to save you some keystrokes not save you from having to think.

There is also Hyper.sh (https://hyper.sh/) that offers the same service as Azure Container Instances and it seems to work pretty well for a side project I'm trying it on.

Azure Container Instances were only available for testing through their web shell last I checked a while ago.

On Mac OS X it actually works with Chrome but not with Firefox, Safari or Opera.

Just a thought - is there some reason you can't autodetect timezone information with js? (new Date().getTimezoneOffset())

I don't understand. How can you commit code that has not been tested?

1. Great job! The one thing I found missing is zooming in and out with the mouse wheel.

2. I'm amazed how ridiculously better this is than the flash version :)

3. Thanks for letting me know about Raphaël - it looks like a very cool tool. I'll definitely toy with it now :)
