Flat $24 a month, one price worldwide. Looking at the last 400 signups, about 33% come from India, Brazil, Indonesia and the Philippines, and their trial to paid rate is roughly a quarter of what I see from the US and…
The automation turns on the hall light and disarms the alarm when someone gets home. If my partner and I arrive together, both phones cross the zone boundary within about 40 seconds and the whole thing runs twice, which…
Small 3kW generator. Starts fine, but with nothing plugged in it hunts, revving up and dropping roughly once a second. Put a 1kW heater on it and it steadies out completely. It ran fine last autumn and then sat from…
One bed out of five gives me half the yield of the others. Same sun, same watering schedule, same seed. Brassicas go purple and stall, beans are fine. A full lab test through the extension service is about 35 here and…
Family bible, half leather, the spine turns to rust coloured powder on my fingers and there's already a 4cm loss at the head. Boards are still firmly attached. Everything I find about consolidants is either a…
Every recipe says ten minutes and every comment section says that is a lie, but I am 40 minutes into three sliced onions on medium low in a wide pan with oil and they are soft, translucent and barely golden. Not burnt,…
I committed locally, someone else pushed to the same branch, and now prints a message about divergent branches and refuses to do anything. I have two days of commits that are not pushed anywhere. I do not want to type a…
Princess seam dress in a stable cotton, sleeve cap eases in beautifully, no drag lines when my arms are down. The moment I reach forward for a steering wheel the entire bodice climbs and the waist seam ends up under my…
First time working in a monorepo, six months in and I still cannot tell what is a design decision and what is a mistake nobody has fixed. We have a package that basically everything depends on. If I change one function…
Queen, Hyderabad, and my budget can stretch to about ₹45,000 if there is a reason. Currently on a coir mattress that came with the flat and it is now firm in some places and soft in exactly the wrong one. I have tried…
Small deal, about $1.4k MRR across 90 active subscriptions, mostly monthly with a handful of annuals. The buyer's assumption is that the payment account comes with it and the subscriptions just keep running. I do not…
Read heavy JSON API. Steady 45 req/s with peaks around 120, so roughly 3.9M requests a day. Contract says p95 under 300ms measured at the client. Data lives in Postgres, single region, and about 70% of responses are…
I stream a hobby craft thing about three evenings a week, currently on a decent fixed lens webcam, and the picture is fine until the light drops in the evening. I already own a mirrorless body and two lenses that mostly…
Greenfield, Postgres, per tenant isolation by . Roughly 50k rows a day across the main tables. I keep reading that random uuids destroy index locality and that bigserials leak business information, which are both true…
Roughly a third of my signups come from countries where my price is genuinely heavy relative to local income, and their trial to paid rate is about a quarter of everyone else's. The emails I get are polite and specific:…
Holding an infrastructure fund. This quarter's distribution is labelled return of capital and my average cost per share fell by about the same amount. Nothing else changed. I thought return of capital meant the fund was…
Nuxt 3.15, Vue 3.5. Dev is completely fine. Deployed build gives me: and then a chunk of the page re renders and the scroll position jumps. It's a relative timestamp component. Obviously the server rendered at one time…
Small scheduling tool, 60 accounts, $12 $40/mo, mostly single room clinics and studios. I am done with it. Plan was: email today, service ends in 30 days, exports available the whole time and for a month after. A friend…
Every June the door starts catching on the top of the latch side, and by October it swings free again. I do not want to plane it in summer and end up with a 5mm gap all winter. Hinges look fine and the screws are tight.…
Server sessions, sessions table in Postgres on Neon, serverless functions. Every authenticated request does one lookup by session token. With the lookup: p50 around 68ms. With it stubbed out: p50 around 27ms. So the…
I was away for 16 days and did zero reviews. The queue now says 912 due and I get maybe 40 minutes a day before work. I did 100 yesterday and the number went down by 60, which is demoralising. Is there a sane way to…
Two candidates for the hero line. One names the category outright, the other leads with the problem in the user's words. Current landing page converts at about 4% to signup. I expect roughly 900 visits across launch…
Third card in five months. It runs fine for two or three weeks, then DNS stops resolving and I find the root filesystem remounted read only. Two of the dead cards were 32GB Samsung Evo Select, one was a no name from a…
Eight workers pull jobs off a buffered channel (cap 100) and push results onto an unbuffered results channel. On SIGINT I call then , and roughly one run in three it just sits there forever instead of exiting. Each…
German style 8 inch, full tang with three brass rivets and pakkawood scales. There is now a hairline gap between the steel and the left scale, and water gets into it when I wash the knife. I can see a dark line drying…
