I booked a place for 30 days, the listing said 100% refundable. So I did it. 2 or 3 weeks before needing it my plans changed and I had to cancel. Airbnb told me that its longer than 28 days so the cancellation policy is up to the host who decided it was non-refundable. This was never relayed in any way during the booking process, not mentioned in the confirmation emails, nothing.
I ended up being able to negotiate a partial refund, but I still lost around $800.
The same place was listed on agoda.com which is fully refundable up to 24 hours prior to checkin and I've always had good experience with agoda support.
I'll never, NEVER, use airbnb again. It's a scam company.
In NZ/AU we don’t include photos or personal information. When I moved to Singapore I was stocked. People put photos. Birthday. Family. Current Salary. Address. Long cover letters.
Unsure if it's night terrors. We went through it twice. Both times lasted 3-4 weeks.
Daughter would go to bed, fall asleep, all happy, full belly etc. At around 2am, wake up screaming at the top of her lungs. I would pick her up and hold her and pace back and forth for about 2 hours while she sobbed. If my wife tried to touch her the crying would go back up full blast.
After the 4th night on the first time I just threw her over my sholder and hummed to her until she fell asleep, then wife got her blanket and pillow and put it in our bed between us and i would slowly move to the bed, gently put her down trying not to wake her (she woke easy a few times doing this) and then that was usually it for the rest of the night.
1st time was at about 20 months, second time at about 28 months. Bar none the WORST experience we've had so far.
In terms of sleeping through the night, she took ~18 months before not waking for milk in the middle of the night. In the early days I had her crib next to my bed and if she began to stir I would instantly wake, make a bottle. (we did formula for the whole thing, kept a flask of warm water and pre-measured milk powder next to the bed). Change her nappy, feed her, and put her back to sleep. I would be awake for 10 minutes and back to sleep.
I consider myself very lucky in this regard because I've heard horror stories.
Edit: Oh, the other thing with the night terrors, one thing the internet told us to do was get a night light. And don't turn the room light on when they wake. Makes getting back to sleep much harder.
My daughter had 3 different cries that I learned when I was left alone with her for 1 week when she was 3 weeks old.
Hungry. Wet. Tired. When I learned these she was easy to take care of.
The night terrors tho. That phase is soooo hard. 3 weeks walking up in the middle of the night screaming for no reason. Hours to get her back to sleep. Then just stops…
Is it though? I read this post earlier this year and it mirrors some similar tests I did back in 2020 when I was just checking basic perf between PostgreSQL / SQL Server / MySQL on my laptop.
> A simple conclusion: Postgres engine family is about twice as fast as MySQL engine family, except MariaDB.
Also:
> Postgres has worse connection handling
Is this addressed in PG14? Or is it still to come in PG15? I haven't kept up with the latest Postgres stuff but I thought they were fixing the connection stuff.
I always considered the team I was in, in Singapore a 'family'. By family we would always help each other out, and work together to ensure the team's projects finished and there was never bad blood between any of the co-workers, /try/ to go to lunch together (due to religion / diet restrictions we would often change lunch up to cater for everyone)
But it was never about working late (which i actively discouraged, to the point i yelled at the guy who sat across from me one evening because he kept staying late, and he had a family with 2 kids at home). We worked together, succeeded together, failed together. Never threw anyone under the bus, took responsibility together.
Our team was super productive, delivered a lot of good work, rarely ever caused production issues as the features were well tested... compared to the other teams. Knew the domain and the code really well. Then covid hit and management decimated the team overnight. I was absolutely gutted, made me so sick to my stomach I couldn't work for a week.
Co-workers being a 'family' in a business will never work with upper management being included.
After having 3 razor keyboards arrive with problems, and 2 warranty claims to finally get one that actually worked, while waiting for the 2nd replacement I bought a corsair K70. Oh it's so much better than the razor I had.
I swapped the keycaps on the razor to zhuyin and gave it to my wife. Much prefer this corsair!
What flame bait phrase? You linked me to a comment where I told a guy off for making excuses for china. In this one I said I’m wearing a mask because of the Wuhan flu. How is what I said flame bait?
I went to a course by Udi Dahan once, about CQRS. One of the people asked him a question about CRUD. Something along the lines of how would you use CQRS for simple CRUD operations. And Udi was like "just go to the database".
The guy kept asking the same question different ways like Udi didn't understand the question. The response was always the same. Then Udi said, if you need to go to the database, go to the database, don't over complicate things.
It was like a lightbulb for me, having spend ages always trying to fix everything into an abstraction of some sort instead of just getting stuff done.
It doesn’t work in every app. It doesn’t even work in a lot of apples own apps... you hold shift and click in 1 app, it works, try it in another app and it only resize vertically and not horizontally.
Resize a window and drag it to the top will increase total height of screen.
Drag a window to the top and it maximizes.
Drag to left to dock to left side. (repeat for right side)
Drag to top left to dock to top left corner. (repeat for all corners)
Win+Arrow (Up) to full screen.
Win+Arrow (Down) to un-full screen. Down again to minimum.
Win+Shift+Arrow (left/right) to change screen.
Win+Arrow (left/right) to move between docking left/right.
On a mac you cannot even maximum a window properly, and works differently in different apps. Window management is terrible on a mac. The only window management it does right is the way it handles the virtual desktops. Cos that still sucks on Windows.
