I'm not a big fan of Musk either outside of Tesla/SpaceX/StarLink. But if it's not Musk, it's the DNC, if it's not the DNC, it's someone else. I don't see how it detracts from X still being a good pla

I don't understand the obsession with hating on X/Musk right now. He has his opinions, but X is still a great platform, and last I checked, Mastodon and Bluesky still feel like echo chambers (and the latter has a lot of... furry c

I think Garand Thumb touches on this tech in his Becoming Deadly in the Mountains series [0]. Amazing tech, and scary too from a warfare perspective -- without thermal camouflage or a hideout, you don't have much of a chance to avoid d

I can't find the source anywhere. Have you open sourced things yet, or is this something you'll do soon? Maybe I missed it in the post, but I couldn't find it on GitHub.

After using SQLite in production for a little while, I don't think "SQLite is all you need." Migrations are a pain, so any long-lived app will eventually experience pain. As an example, SQLite doesn't have a way to add a

IIRC, the decision was that it in a block is only ever called without arguments, e.g. map { it * 2 }, and it in Rspec is only ever called with arguments, e.g. it "describes a test" do ... end. So it ended up being a non-issue.

Are they uncomfortable with you accessing their data, or are they uncomfortable with you storing their data unencrypted, risking their IP in case of a breach? Two different things. The former means they aren't a fit for SaaS (i.e. offe

Sounds overly complicated. Use at-work encryption (i.e. encrypt it in the database), on top of encryption in-transit and at-rest, hosted/managed by a reputable database vendor. If that won't fly, then I agree with the (enterprise)

They had been slapping on a bunch of "AI" tools this year, all of which required me to manually converse with the AI to categorize transactions. I was wondering what I was even paying Bench for with how much manual work I had to

Your website doesn't mention tax filing. Is this a new offering or am I missing it somewhere?

I'd guess staffing issues, since my bookkeeper would change every month. I'm still not sure how they couldn't afford to hire better staff, though. You're right that it could be something nefarious. Where did you move to?

If you don't know where your customers are, your time would be better spent figuring that out rather than having some third-party spam your project to a bunch of directories.
