It hasn’t changed noticeably in the better part of a decade. But it works really well for me (albeit not the prettiest app in the world)

I’m not sure why you say it’s for business. I do a lot of business and personal travel and it’s great for both. Organizing trips with friends and family is much easier to coordinate with tripit and my boss couldn’t care less which hotel&#x2

on a side note, if I could just write `if err != nil return err` on a single line (without `go fmt` "fixing" it) that might be enough for me not to need `try`.

I completely agree. I love that go is _able_ to treat errors just like return values but most of the time I don't need to work with them like that. I want to assume the happy path and not have all the `if err != nil` noise.

is it just me or does the word "try" seem to imply the opposite here? To me saying "try" is like saying "attempt to run this" like we have in a try/catch block. I feel like something like "expect&quot

that's the definition of free software, not open source. Open source just means you can view the code.

tl;dr: California banned asking for salary information in job interviews. This happened 10/2017 and took effect 01/2018 though—I'm not really sure why it was posted today.

"$0.50 / GB of data stored, 1 GB included" is that per month? or is that the upload cost?

You're right actually: curation is paywalled even without payment. Still, it's not enabled by default: https://imgur.com/lFY0hzp

Which costs money, and medium does not.

That’s not at all why I used it. And the analytics medium has (even though it’s basic) are better than any third-party tools I’ve used.

It’s good, still not as good as medium. Especially being able to copy and paste YouTube/gist/etc links in and have them auto-embed. I can still embed with Hugo, but not as quickly and this does impact my writing flow.

I used to write on medium. The editor is the best. Nothing I've used is as good. The stats are also incredibly well done. Some people are saying authors use it for the built-in audience. I can't say that was an appeal for me—or th

The main argument in this article doesn't apply unless the Medium writer enabled the partner program on the post. That's what enables the pay wall.
