Check Reddark, which was posted here about a week ago. Most subs are public again: https://reddark.untone.uk/ I don’t think any significant subs went anywhere at all.

"request might take up to 5 minutes to process" -> in a world of broken AJAX calls and hence, broken spinners, 5 minutes is literally forever to know if this thing works at all. If I don't see a result within 5 seconds, I

I‘m usually in the camp of buying official Apple accessories, because the details matter and are better than in knockoffs. Stuff like the strength of the magnets in the stainless wristbands. But: I have the silver Milanese that came with my

I usually make it a two step process: host example.com If this returns with an IP address, no need to talk to a registrar. Only if there is no IP address, I go with whois example.com

Yes. At least in Germany. More people have a paypal account than a credit card. For my app, I offer purchase via Stripe, wiretransfer or PayPal. 75% choose PayPal.

Good point, but not entirely true. It's not that Germans have to adhere to US law, but that US fines can be outrageously high and German institutions want to keep that risk in check. Insurance premiums are a lot higher if you do busine

That is awfully empty of actual advice though. What does this even mean? Don’t make games for money? Don’t make games at all? Move to a cabin in the woods?

Furthermore, the author essentially says: "4% is low and can be neglected", but gives no reason why that number is supposed to be low. It reads like gut feeling. Think about it: you have a room of 100 people, 4 of them might be as

You're overthinking this. "Lifetime" is just a new word for: no monthly costs, buy once, use forever (= as long as your device and OS supports this software), just like it was for almost all software from 1990-2010. But since

Interesting, but weird pricing. "Contact us" for 1,000+ MAU, which is every useful app out there. Compare this with Supabase, which is $25 for 100,000 MAUs.

Same here. I have PHP code in production that dates back to 2008. zero dependencies, a few quirks, it runs on PHP 7.something for now, might upgrade to 8 at some point. It’s ugly, but it gets the job done. Best thing is that front-facing HT

Why though? Does it really matter if something outlives you by 200 years? 500? On a not-that-long timeline like 10,000 years, nothing lasts. The "cathedral-like" timeline is completely arbitrary I think. Imho, there’s freedom in a

Two entirely separate fields, both with a similar problem: not good enough. Impressive, but makes mistakes and an 80% solution is not what you want for self-driving cars.
