To add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).

Also the Japanese cup [1], which is 200 mL. I (American) have come across it twice (a rice cooker, and a dandan recipe).

A metric cup is exactly 250ml though, not approximately, right?

Except one cup in metric is 250 ml, not the ~236ml that a US cup is.

Thanks! Didn't know that.

Stax / Versent | Backend Developer | Melbourne, Australia | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.stax.io/

We build software to help companies understand how they're spending on AWS and to track compliance - We want to help make everyone be even better at AWS.

We're located in Melbourne CBD, with a team that works remotely / from home part of the time, but onsite as some onsite time is likely required (but we're open to discussions).

We're heavy users of AWS ourselves, and exist within the bigger scope of Versent. The product is developed in a mix of languages, with this role mainly working with Ruby and Go, but we're happy to chat to any experienced backend developers.

To apply, and view a bit more, see https://versent.workable.com/j/515ECA4C82

I'm pretty sure from my experience it's not a shared instance - you can create multiple databases easily.

The limitations are presumably so that they have control over settings for things like replication and their features that you can't mess with.

Indeed, not only can one create multiple databases on one RDS instance, but it's also OK start an RDS instance with no user database at all, and create it later.

We're heavily using multiple databases on a single Postgres RDS. Yes, occasionally it's annoying not having a true superuser, but now they've improved it so you can still have 'fake superuser' reserved connections it's ok.

Another one here - I know of a few others under 25 and on HN as well.

Are you or anyone you know in the Bay Area?

Check at the top on the front page or any of the show pages - there is an option to toggle to search movies as well.

We used compass and sass to make certain things (e.g. CSS3 cross browser) a little simpler, but the rest was coded from scratch I believe.

Thanks gibybo - Our motivation for region issues is mostly due to being Australia based and constantly hitting issues with finding content (Our TV networks have a pretty bad rep, to the point where we're often one of the top pirating nations for shows - e.g. http://delimiter.com.au/2012/05/22/australia-top-game-of-thr...). giby.tv looks very cool by the way.

It's indeed quiet a hard problem to solve - and I think it's going to be one of the biggest issues going forward for exactly the reasons you mention. Another one on top of that (another fun one: different punctuation in names, inc. in the year and region suffixes).

There are a bunch of data sources we tap into / plan on tapping into the near future that we hope will help solve these issues even more.

(The two of us developers work on music stuff which face very similar issues - the annoyance of dealing with album, track and artist names across services is a constant frustration).

I believe it's all CSS3 stuff.

If it's an ruby hash, that's unintentional. I changed one of the I18n paths in the app at 5am (the competition finished at 8am for us) and changed it in most places around the site. I missed the home page (since it uses image replacement) but in some configurations (e.g. I think Retina MBPs in Chrome) it shows up still.

We can't modify code until post-judging, so it has to wait until then to be fixed. And thanks, the cover animation was the work of our wonderful designer, @levibuzolic on twitter.
