I can't help but feeling very envious (in a nice way) of your situation with coworkers. It seems like when you had an issue, you had someone 10 steps ahead of you willing to help out, give advice, lend a part etc.
This project seemed to go as well as my side projects, but when I run into a hiccup, I wait a month for a part on AliExpress, or wander around at Home Depot looking for something that I don't know what it is yet.
Kudos to you for surrounding yourself with great people. Thanks for the write up.
You likely dodged a bullet by getting rejected by FE International. I went through a couple of acquisition processes with them. Almost every person I dealt with there was dishonest and unprofessional.
Missing my favourite apple: Aurora. This is the best apple by far. Last long, taste is amazing (though maybe a bit too sweet after a while). I can't rarely find them. Does anyone know how to track down where apples are grown?
I think it's a great idea. I'm a SWE and have purchased three now. It seems way easier to run 3 micro businesses than it was to deal with everything that a typical job entails. I think the risk is quite low for most SaaS products.
Is this mostly for using w/o i3? I feel like I'm not missing much by using regular terminal windows and letting i3 manage those windows, but I'd love to find out I'm missing something awesome.
I'd love to help you solve your issue with i3wm and 4k screens. I'm using i3wm on a 4k monitor for my desktop and 3k for my laptop so I should be able to help you.
Hi. Yes also annoyed by the state of the keyboard enthusiast communities, or rather, I just don't care about having an artisanal key or a rare keyboard, but rather RSI, efficiency, and customizability.
It sounds like you've gone down the rabbit hole with this. Could you tell me a bit about where you've landed especially wrt layout and custom programming?
It's absolutely correct to say Twitter blamed their issues on Rails. It's less likely to be correct that they wouldn't need a similar major change if they had started with anything else and grew from an MVP to one of the busiest sites in the world. I personally find it doubtful that they couldn't have done it with Rails.
I never leave any amount in my PayPal account that I'm not willing to lose. I've been flagged before which I why I do it. I was flagged for having a surge in sales, which was legitimate but meant I couldn't access my funds to service the customers who were paying me.
I assume you are correct about the automatic withdrawal, however I was able to confirm my TransferWise account with PayPal just last week. PayPal deposited the two small txns in the Transferwise borderless US account. It took a lot longer than I expected, but it did work. I was able to withdraw from my PayPal account into the the TransferWise Borderless account (no fees yay).
