American living in the UK. Go back to visit family in Northern California ever year or two. On the way out (Heathrow) we can get a Pret or similar for more or less the same price as in central London, say £5-7 per person for a medium sized meal. And there are well over a dozen options of similar restaurants.
On the way back (SFO), it’s basically Burger King or one of the airport sandwich shops, and $20+ per person.
I don’t know the details of why it’s one way or the other, but clearly it doesn’t have to be like this!
I must have heard this somewhere but I can’t recall where. In any event, I think most of us are a bit of both but personally I strive to be more of the latter.
1. I don't understand how you can merge/deploy quickly without good test coverage. Unless you don't mind breaking things in production.
2. Feature flagging is pretty key to make the described process possible, and about halfway down it turns out of course this post is really an ad for a feature flagging SaaS product. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, but worth knowing that the motive behind this is to sell you a product.
Things my son (2 and a half) likes to watch on YT:
- Lorry trucks (semis/big rigs) driving on the road/motorway
- The tube/trains/subways coming in and out of stations
- Large excavators digging in quarries and loading dump trucks
The videos are usually pretty slow paced and calm, and we're happy to let him watch in small blocks (5-10 mins max) from time to time. He's shown no interest in typical cartoons, kids shows, etc. I'd love to cut off YT completely, but are there other places to get this type of content for him?
I lost some but not most of my movies. Same for apps. Music was the worst, but on Apple Music so not purchases (just had to re-add a lot of things to my library).
It has to do with how the individual content (film, app, song) is licensed. If the same content has a separate license in the new country, it won’t carry over.
Also note this means it will depend on the two countries you are moving between (ie. I went US > UK, and I would guess there is a lot more licensing crossover between these two countries, whereas two others may not have so much).
