I've frequently just done both, which I suppose is rather silly, but I like having a nicely named boolean field. I suppose I should probably just make those derived properties though.

Do you think they really do disincentivize that behavior (serious, not flippant)? If my very close friend questioned my decision certainly, but if an internet stranger with intentional snarky tone did it I'm not sure it would.

Oh, this is knowable, a quick search says the top 1% owns 32% of the wealth (I know this isn't income, so not perfect) but given that I'm going to say I think 26% is either fine or too low.

I don't quite know the best way to measure it instead, but isn't saying the top 1% of PEOPLE pay 26% a pretty misleading statistic? I have no idea if it is too high. The 1% is a fixed number of people, how rich are they? If they h

Were things better for low income communities before those attempts to help? I'm young, so honest question given minimal experience. Most of these programs seem to short-term help, with some minor annoying externalities and at worst fl

Same, in area South of Seattle they have just become whole foods for the most part. I still go because at least the money goes to smaller scale businesses, but there is nothing inexpensive about them.

Yes, and the convenience of not needing to know how to maintain the server. You can point a person with a different type of experience at this problem.

I'm a white straight male, grew up middle class near Seattle. I'm now in my mid-30s and have 3 kids. Semi-recently I had an (maybe my first?) experience where I wasn't the favored party in a situation. My kids have made focus

While I agree that killing advertising is effectively impossible I'm not sure I agree that the problem is that people aren't willing to pay for things. I think advertising dollars paying for services that users use is a convenient

I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I have a friend who always discusses equality when we talk about taxes. What makes numbers so equal in the minds of humans? Especially when it comes to fines, taxes, etc.? If we still

In my experience it is incredibly common for people without much money to have cars that seem impractical, because they are easy to buy but hard to maintain. I think this is pretty common with cars that were very popular when they were firs

Sorry for the late response, missed this somehow. I'm realizing as I try to write this that it is a bunch of small things, and maybe it boils down to having used it a long time or it being my first non-garbage (SSMS, PGAdmin) UX db too

TablePlus is the only thing I've used cross-platform that is even close to Postico. Postico is amazing.

I tested this with "Caribbean Vacation" and wow what a difference. Everything on Google is "TOP X LIST" and "BEST XYZ" which are just the worst when trying to find real interesting information about experiences

Is this really so confusing to most people? I feel like it was pretty clear throughout that the first statement in most cases was: "We expect X is [not] effective based on history, but we aren't certain because this is so new&quo

Real thing that has happened to me, at the time my company (IT consulting / support) was ~10 people (we're ~25 now). A Gartner cold call that wanted to sell me a report that I could use to recommend which cloud storage vendor (box

Take this with a grain of salt, perhaps I'm just not in a good headspace for reading this. The first two paragraphs of the first section (The next iteration of Dev Ops) reads like it was written by someone at Gartner trying to get my 1

Interestingly after reading other comments I think I agree that it isn't very intuitive. I say that as someone who switched from windows to mac about 6 years ago and don't really want to go back. I think Windows is more intuitive

I would go even further on #3, it isn't like an iPad vs an Android tablet, because Android isn't bad, the only issue there would be hardware responsiveness. More like iPad vs a 2010 feature phone for most infotainment systems I&#x

I have always asked myself why a prerecorded video doesn't work just as well, it sure seems like it should, especially in these 1:10000 classes. Personally, and apparently for many others, it just doesn't. I really have no idea wh

~1 year ago there was a zero-click (rce I think?) for easy smtp. At the time it was the most popular plugin for smtp setup on Wordpress, I can't imagine how many sites have that plugin installed without updates.

Fair enough, Wordpress is certainly more user friendly than everything I used before it. All I know is how often my clients who use Squarespace make meaningful changes to their site and how often my clients who use Wordpress do it, as well

Good to know, thanks!

How slow is it? Genuinely asking because I wonder if it is much larger / more complicated than sites I've built so far. Most sites I've created are _usable_ in about ~500ms, though they take quite a bit longer to fully load.

by kevinob11 5y ago
All of this is 100% correct and if its easier / easy enough for you then that works. I wasn't really making the case that it was explicitly better for everyone, but it is awesome for my clients. For backup, I either end up paying

When your Wordpress site gets hacked and you pay someone $500 (if you are lucky) to fix it this flips pretty quickly. If your Wordpress site doesn't get hacked its because you manually maintain it, and time at most of my clients is wor

I get where you are coming from as an idea, and generally I agree you should own your data. That being said you can export your data from Squarespace, you just can't "transfer" your site to alternative hosting because the pla

Yes! This is a value I kind of missed in my description. We have a static html site right now, its lightning fast and easy enough for me to maintain, but we'll be moving to Squarespace internally on the next site update. Right now our

I love Squarespace. I find it to be as close to the perfect mix of flexibility, usability and beautiful defaults that I've ever seen in a website builder. I can hand off management of the site to someone with almost zero technical skil
