Sure. It was similar to Football Manager (I played a lot as a teenager) but based on Quidditch, the fictional sport from the Harry Potter world.
I developed the game I wished it existed but unfortunately since it was part of a trademark I couldn't launch it. I asked for permissions to launch it as a free game to play on the browser, but they told me would have to request to take it down. It was a really sad experience, but it was my fault after all for developing something I knew it wasn't going to be allowed.
Ah got it. So you can send the invoice for free but if they pay you then the fee will be deducted from that payment. Thank you very much!
Sorry, question by someone who is not part of the USA (not even Europe, if it's a common case in Europe too). Why would you have to pay to send an invoice? It isn't just a PDF? Is there an extra mechanism that I am missing?
So many memories. I am one of those who grew with WinXP (though I usd Win95 at school and for a few years Win98 at home), and as someone said in another comment, what else could a teen geek want besides WinXP with a bandwith connection?
I still feel that seeing a XP Desktop screenshot invites to much more experiences (possibly online) than a Win10/Win11 screenshot. It may be with the fact that I associate it to different internet eras as well. With XP I used to browse websits, fansites, blogs, forums, chats, MSN messenger/Yahoo Messenger/etc, whil now everything seems to be the boring social networks where almost everything is generated/shared.
Internet used to be much fun back then, and it may be the reason why most of the people have good memories about XP. I think the main reason (and I wanted to write an "essay" about this for a while) it's that we were offline by default in our lives, and we used to "go online" for a few hours durnig the day. Then you had your experience in the real world and went online to talk about them. Now it is the other way around - we live online by default, sharing photos and videos from a concert almost in real time, photos from a museum, etc. I think it took away its novelty.
The images look great but I think the experiment was helped by the fact that most of us can see any image, being told that the image is underwater and we'll believe it. Most of the people don't know about deep waters, and the plans and animal that live there. I suspect the experiment would have been different if the vacations were in a city or a beach or something like that.
It looked promising but it says it is not available on our country.

I pay my taxes locally. The issue is what happens for the other companies in other countries, do they need something special?
I am working on a SaaS product with a friend that will be mostly a B2B (although it can work as B2C too) and besides all the tech, what I am afraid mostly is all the tax/money/stuff.
I am not from Europe neither USA - I'd like only to get paid monthly for the service I provide. Is it difficult? If anyone can give some advice I'd be grateful.
Mmmm how does this work? Searching for Harry Potter gives Wikia results which aren't the oldest one out there.
Is the second case handled by the "frontend"? Shouldn't be handled by the backend and then return an error state/message?
A colleague lost their phone and send an email to GitHub asking for a password and 2FA reset. It was sent from his account email and it was succesful. I found it weird because it means someone got access to his email Github would provide access to their account.
I took the test to be part of Mensa when I was 17. It was a one hour or two hours test? I think. I remember I got very bored by the end and I stopped paying attention to the questions and I started to answer without doing all the analysis it was required.
I passed it and I was part of the the society. I found it quite weird because the rest of the people didn't look like "smart" or "intelligent" or whatever you could think of Mensa people.
At the end I just decided that they (we) were good at identifying patterns. I stopped paying after one or two years.
I love Postmark and their service. I hope this doesn't change that.
Exactly this. Everytime I start a new project and I think between PHP and Python (Django), the fact that I can throw the PHP one into any cheap server is very very convenient. Someone should do a Python/Django managed hosting.
Don't hate me for saying this, but I can imagine combining this with Electron and develop desktop apps with Python.

Stupid question, but if your hard drive cannot write 25Gbit/s, how is it handled?
I don't knwo anything about SSD so maybe 25Gbit/s is easily achievable, just talking from my experience of copying from a USB Drive to my local disk.
