I miss Edinburgh a lot. Lived there for a couple years. Beautiful city.

Nope! Totally agreed. I donāt want some futuristic looking thing with a giant touch screen interface. Just a regular looking car with actual buttons and an electric motor. Iām hoping things change by the time Iām ready to buy an EV but doubt it

How vital is it to validate the # of digits after the decimal point, or can you just let it round during INSERT? If you can then min(0) and max(999.99) is what Iād do. Only other thing I can think of is a regex rule, but not sure if that rule would cast the number to a string before evaluating š¤

10 mins is definitely not enough time to melt ice on a windshield, speaking from experience haha. Next car I buy a heated windshield will be a requirement

I switched back to a regular looking email because of this, I found that lots of customer support people would think itās an invalid email, or Iād have trouble communicating the ānope .me is realā part

So, pay check comes in, you immediately assign it to categories for future spending. If you assign your money as itās spent, itās really nothing more than a glorified spreadsheet.
But if youāre interested in YNAB to begin with you probably know all of that already :)

Everyone else covered some good tips. Only tip I have is YNAB only works well when you fully adopt the zero based budgeting technique. If youāre only reactive (categorizing after you spend) you wonāt see much value in it. You really gotta be proactive (categorize before spending) to see the value

Is it multiplayer? If not Iād agree, make it client-driven as much as possible. If it is I think take a page from other online multiplayer games, have the client be as opportunistic as possible to reduce lag but have āimportantā decisions (like hit reg in an FPS) be done on the server

It's half a protest for me tbf... but also because everything on Twitter now seems like engagement bait to get impressions and a pay out from their ad sharing program
There's starting to be some engagement bait here too but at least there's less of an incentive for it

Agreed, 10M rows is peanuts for any RDBMS, but I think it says something about optimizing PKs for projects that wonāt ever see anywhere close to that number

UUIDv7 is the best of both worlds, lexicographically sortable and doesnāt have INSERT performance penalties from having to rebalance a btree!

Also have had a smart thermostat, 100% recommend those. And smart blinds.
comment in response to
post
I fitted our place out with just smart bulbs. Wouldnāt recommend. Itās annoying when someone turns off a light switch and the bulb loses power and the ability to be controlled.
Would recommend smart light switches instead, and there are some that can also talk to the bulbs to change temperature.

Awesome! We had this very good boi at the gym yesterday, helping his blind owner work out. Side note this guy is fully blind and using a squat rack. So much respect

Yeah Iāve never been much into boxing but I got a Netflix sub just to watch tonight. Iām certain itās a farce but itāll be entertaining none the less!

Thermostatic shower valves are in the back of my mind on the "to get when I eventually own a home" list, alongside things like heat pumps and induction cook tops.
