what could go wrong

definitely don't use galvanized metal for a grill...

Depends what you're looking for. Maybe El Péndulo in Condesa.

Also maybe the Biblioteca Vasconcelos

It's absurd but they're making billions on those dev fees and will probably never drop it.

I was today years old when I learned that...

Strauss, the composer of the "Blue Danube" waltz, is not the same Strauss who composed "Also sprach Zarathustra".

One was Johann Strauss II and the other Richard Strauss.

For decades I thought "man this guy has range".

How come @bun.sh has this really cool filesystem API but if you want to delete a folder recursively you have to use the Node API?

I've never heard anyone calling it "apple tv plus".

It's "apple tv" or just "apple".

I stopped buying PS consoles when Sony stopped releasing Wipeout games.

It was doomed to flop.

It's insane that WB decided to make a $130M PTA film (plus marketing and distribution costs).

PTA's last commercial hit was almost 20 years ago and it wasn't even a mainstream success. Since then all his films have flopped commercially (and artistically IMO).

Before the email was finally delivered by Sendgrid I implemented a secondary email API for Microsoft addresses.

Zeptomail by Zoho has been working great so far:

www.zoho.com/zeptomail/

And it's not a subscription. You buy credits (1 credit = 10,000 emails) which take 6 months to expire.

Pier @pierbover.com · 3d

So apparently Sendgrid has issues sending emails to Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.

A user complained they couldn't sign up.

It took 25 attempts and like 15 hours until the email was finally delivered.

Look, my proposal is simple: you can be a millionaire 999 times over, in perpetuity, but if you can't figure out something to do with assets above that line, we should build some schools, feed some kids, and eliminate medical bankruptcy.

@bun.sh is fast af

(in Spain we'd say "es un pepino" but "it's a cucumber" doesn't translate well)
