The apps by Rogue Amoeba on Mac are a great example of the trial model on Mac: https://www.rogueamoeba.com I'm not affiliated with them, but I am a customer. They put a lot of effort into finding the right balance of what

I'm not the author, but generally: It could depend on whether those trial users are worth supporting. You could potentially get a free-rider problem. You could get a lot of support emails from people who never convert anyway. It&#x27

The script method is great, and it's generalisable to things outside of DB access. E.g. I used this method when I wanted to carry out a large (almost every source file) refactoring of Cytoscape.js. I fed the LLM a bunch of examples,

This is a great article, and it's very much aligned with my experiences. I hope AI leads to a Cambrian explosion of software people running their own businesses, given the force multiplier it affords. On the other hand, the jaded part

I always stay one major version behind so I only get security patches after an initial, yearly upgrade. Not experiencing Tahoe myself yet, I felt that perhaps the UI issues people are talking about were a tad overstated, but the example in

That's why I switched to Mise ( https://mise.jdx.dev ). Having new terminal sessions taking up hundreds of milliseconds because of nvm isn't the end of the world, but it's annoying when you're in the middle of

That's a great point. There are a lot of things you can do to optimise things, and your suggestion is one of the lower hanging fruits. I was trying to get across the point that today you can get a lot of benefit from minimal setup, ev

That's true. It's also a fine line to walk for Google. Google has recently received regulatory pressure, for instance, just like Microsoft had trouble in the late 90s.

For those interested in learning more about meditation related to muscle tension (as in the author's article), body scans [1] and progressive muscle relaxation [2] are often-used techniques. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Absolutely! The best ideas come during downtime.

Agreed. Meditation can be excellent. It took quite a bit of practice for me to benefit from it, but it was certainly worth it. To put it in terms that this crowd would appreciate, it's like garbage collection for the mind. It may no

These are all great points. A big value of OSS is that it can obviate the need to reinvent the wheel. We should cheer on when open source software is used, regardless of whether the users are corporations or individuals.

This touches on an interesting point beyond the one about the low marginal cost of software distribution: Software is a field in which both capitalist philosophy (e.g. startups) and communist philosophy (e.g. open source) have both been ve

As you framed the device as an extension of memory, I'm wondering whether you can query your notes/memory with voice. I'd like to ask questions to the ring, e.g.: "What was that book that Jerry recommended?" Is tha

(1) Solve a problem with your project that a lot of people experience. (2) Differentiate your project, e.g. higher ease of use. (3) The big one: Time. Most things don't get popular quickly, and many things that do get popular quickly

I believe it would be tractable to allow for an additional export option (i.e. Cytoscape.js JSON, CSS) in Flowchart.fun so you could load your figure into a Cytoscape.js instance in your site. This approach would allow for interactive feat
