A cheque and an online transfer both landed in my account on Friday. The balance updated straight away and the app showed the money, then underneath it said the funds wouldn't be available until Tuesday. If the bank…
2,100 registered users, maybe 600 monthly active. Currently on the free tier of a hosted auth provider and about to cross into paid, which lands somewhere around $25/month plus per user beyond the included bucket. I am…
Side project. About 200 jobs a day, mostly outbound webhooks to customers' own endpoints. Every architecture diagram I read has a dead letter queue in it and I cannot tell whether that is for me or for people doing…
Six paying customers, 114 a month in total, tool is 19 a month. One of them emailed asking if I would do 400 for lifetime access. He says he hates subscriptions and would rather pay once and forget it. 400 is more than…
One A5 sketchbook, 120 pages of 160gsm mixed media paper, about 40 pounds for everything including tools. It has to open dead flat so I can draw across the spread. I keep going back and forth between coptic and a long…
I cook most nights and want one 10 inch pan that lives on the hob. Local antique shop has a smooth old skillet, no maker's mark, for £45. New one from a big brand is £30 and I know exactly what I'm getting. I don't want…
about 30 routes, three roles (owner, admin, member), and the permission check is a copy pasted block at the top of each handler. last week i shipped two endpoints without the block and a member deleted another team's…
Delhi, on a two wheeler for 40 minutes each way, so I'm getting real sun on my face and forearms five days a week. Everything I've tried at the pharmacy either leaves me grey in photos or slides into my eyes when I…
Offer is in on a bare 6 acre parcel, nearest municipal line is about two miles away, so it is a drilled well and a septic system or nothing. We have set aside 45k for both and the seller has not done a perc test, which…
Five gallons of supermarket apple juice, no added sugar, one packet of ale yeast, sitting in an unheated garage that has been running about 16C. I took an original gravity reading and then, stupidly, nothing since. The…
Two kilo chuck roast, seared first, into the cooker with an onion, a cup of stock and some carrots, lid on, low for eight hours. It was hot all the way through and completely edible but it sliced rather than pulled, and…
Starting a new repo. Three engineers, maybe 8 packages to begin with, deploying to Node 22 on Lambda. Runtime is Node, that part is settled the question is only what installs the dependencies and runs the scripts. Bun…
I am down to three bags in the 35 to 40 litre range and I have no idea what my torso length is. There is a proper outdoor shop about two hours away and a lot of retailers with free returns, and I have already sent one…
My mother started an app after reading that bilingualism delays dementia by several years, and now treats a fifteen minute streak as medical insurance. I want her to keep going because she enjoys it, but I do not want…
PB is about 1:52, four runs a week with the long one on Sunday. Every previous attempt at adding squats and deadlifts has wrecked my Tuesday legs and I have dropped the lifting inside three weeks each time. I am not…
Small app, maybe 9k lines, worked fine the day I stopped. Today: install fails, the build tool has had two major versions since, and half the packages have advisories. The rewrite voice is very loud right now. Is it…
Flat is on a busy road, windows shut most of the time, and every flat surface needs wiping twice a week or it looks neglected. I have had a mid size HEPA unit running in the main room for about four months and honestly…
Internal docs, about 40 MDX pages, will grow to maybe 150. Needs client side search across everything, a filterable API reference table, a dark mode toggle, and three or four interactive demos embedded in prose. Astro…
Side project, nights and weekends, and my launch date has now slipped three times: each slip individually reasonable, each one about six weeks. I don't think I'm lazy, I think I have no method for picking a date that…
I have a pre approval from my own credit union in my pocket and a trade in worth maybe a third of the car. Every conversation so far has come back to what I want to pay a month, and every time I ask for one out the door…
Gas hob, two burners, and I want a griddle that spans both without a cold stripe down the middle. Budget is around $70 and it has to live in a cupboard, so I'm not entirely ignoring weight. The only two things it will…
£60 ceiling, home cook, and I break down a lot of squash and whole chickens. My current knife is a supermarket stamped thing that goes blunt within a week and rolled at the tip on a butternut last month. I have a cheap…
Found a wool blazer secondhand and the shoulder seam sits exactly where my shoulder ends, which apparently never happens for me. Problem is the sleeves swallow my hands, about 2 inches too long. There are three working…
Conical dripper, 22g coffee to 360g water, and total brew time is stuck around 1:30 whatever I do. I have gone from a medium grind down to nearly espresso fine and the drawdown barely changed, though the cup did get…
Happens at work socials and one to one both. I ask a question, they answer, I ask another one, and after three or four rounds I can feel it turning into an interview and then it dies. I am not shy exactly, I can start…
