   Reminds me a bit of how in the UK the guinea coin ceased to circulate decades ago but it's still used for bidding on racehorse auctions. 1 guinea = 1.05 pounds You purchase the horse in guineas, seller gets paid in pounds, auctioneer k

   'Universal' 110V AC sockets are definitely feasible and offered by some airlines (on some equipment). E.g ANA: https://www.ana.co.jp/en/jp/guide/inflight/service/seat_plug... Related Wikip

   It's more likely that the flight in question was using the three letter ICAO code in its passenger facing flight number. I have never known a three character IATA code to be used despite it technically being within the specification.

   I found that partitioning the table to allow parallel auto vacuuming was necessary to scale.

   Definitely doable with HAProxy + lua. I've used it extensively for load balancing stateful apps.

   Presumably AGPLv3 is why Grafana would rather develop this than Cortex?

    Forgetting to delete the old vulnerable app versions is pretty embarrassing.

    If you mean the Find My Device app it only asks for foreground location permission so I would assume the actual device "beacon" is part of the system not that app.

    There is a distinct lack of GCP products on https://killedbygoogle.com/ Would you avoid AWS because of Fire Phone?

    I would find it hard to take a CTO seriously who can't differentiate between beta and "generally available", or consumer product and enterprise cloud product. It's a bit like saying you wouldn't use AWS because of F

    Though the nuance is Slack did know how to handle it, AWS didn't.

    I'm a fan. Currently using it in a simple setup. But I'm considering using it with an auth backend to provide per user access to databases with the added advantage of no VPN or local software (other than a browser) needed.

    I've found Opsgenie's support and pricing to be good. Hopefully that doesn't change with Atlassian...
