Better yet, publish your own application specific notifications in step 2 since (I believe) billing alerts are delayed. Effectively, build an app specific sidecar that monitors the app and shuts it down if things get out of control.


Your assigned seat won’t be worth squat when a parent with two screaming, seat kicking, kids sit behind you. The flexibility of Southwest’s seating model allowed the 20% of us who favor it to “game” the system on their perpetually 100% loaded flights (don’t sit by kids, select two open seats with slender person in third seat, etc.). I’ve been dreading this. To me, they just gave up their competitive advantage.

I suspect that the largest producer of fireworks, China, also is the largest consumer of fireworks—by far. It’s surprisingly hard to find the numbers though. Try Googling “fireworks consumption by nation”. Like the BBC, Google seems to think this is a US-led issue. Would like to see the actual numbers if anyone can find them.


Three passengers with airsickness. Fourth Boeing incident in a week.

Hype machine at work.


Canonical example for non-trivial project please. Tweet’s a bit cryptic. Not sure I know how to do source links vs. embedded code. Example illustrating all points would be helpful.


Always helpful to quantify phrases like “drop in the bucket”. Lake Superior, by most estimates, holds 3-4 quadrillion gallons of fresh water. A 1T gallon loss is indeed a drop in the bucket!


As others have mentioned, you really can’t shake and shuttle the pan along the surface of the cooktop—it’ll scratch. That ruins the neat & clean look if that’s important to you. You’ll need to adapt to that.

Some use silicon pads (shown in one image in the article) to prevent inadvertent scratching. I don’t trust those—they can melt at 400+F and you’ll never get that off the stove. I use LoMi cloth (Nomex-like?). They’re not going to melt.

To me, the limits of induction (no lifting, shuttling, shifting) are worth it for precise temperature control, less ambient heat (huge exhaust blower not needed), and the neat and clean look. My wife disliked the “patina” on our gas range. Not a problem any more.

I like the project but must comment on New Mexico. Saguaro are generally associate with Arizona (where they grow in large numbers), not New Mexico (where there are few, if any). I actually think NM’s current yellow/zia plate is a clean/evocative design.


Or 40 years ago! I'm no fan of "process", but if you don't at least write down what you're trying to do (requirements) and some metrics for judging success, you open yourself up to two equally troublesome outcomes (depending on who's doing the evaluating): it's all a success or everything's a failure. Well written requirements and metrics (even brief ones) remove some of this evaluation ambiguity.
