Considering that's not even identified on the front page of f5bot, doubtful. People are more apt to pay for something, when they have no choice.

Nice! Congrats on shipping. Don't be ashamed to charge for a good product. Your potential customers will decide if something is worth paying for. The era of growth over revenue is coming to an end, along with an impeding recession!

They aren't charging, it's free. The Patreon is donations. Put up a paywall of $1 a month, and I GUARANTEE you will make more than $41 a month.

I wish services like this would move beyond offering everything for free. It's a valuable enough service to charge a nominal fee, be it lifetime or whatever to ensure it sticks around, and give the developer incentive to improve upon i

So this a duplicate topic, and it's just a link to a free ebook? Slow day on HN I guess.

I do similar, keeps both keywords and fields vertically aligned.

A link to a bookstore summary page about a programming book makes front page HN?

Saffron is more expensive per pound, and is cultivated. So it's not TOO crazy. Depends I guess on how much is required. (still crazy though)

Exactly, the cloud should be used as a secondary backup, not a primary device. Using it as the latter is no better than you keeping everything in one place at your house.

At this point I'm fairly confident that my XS is more powerful than my 2008 Mac Pro tower. How long before Apple goes full ARM for all of their future products? Owning basically the entire hardware chain.

The slow build up of Better Call Saul is what makes it good for me. I love looooong character developments. Too much spastic, constant action in movies/tv these days.

Jonah Hill would be a good reason not to watch this show for me, but you've fully convinced me not to waste my time.

As Netflix streaming phases out more and more actual movies, in favor of their original content, I'm finding it exceedingly difficult to watch anything of reasonable quality. To the point that I've reupped my DVD plan to 3 movies

If smartphones are not considered a computer, then that probably is the case for the majority of people today.

This was just a shameless plug for their own established project. Congrats(for real) on shipping though!

My 6S battery was maybe only a few months old(replaced), had same issue with crazy battery drain on IOS12, particularly with Instagram.

really just business stuff with instagram / email / text!

by overcast 8y ago
It's not, my 6S did the same thing with intensive apps, like Instagram. With IG it's probably ALWAYS ramped up constantly scrolling, playing , downloading. They definitely sacrificed battery life for speed in older phones. My XS l

The biggest change was ramping up processor instantly, and then back down to maximize performance. So for launching an app / scrolling, CPU reaches highest state, until that portion is over, and immediately get back to efficiency setti

Hrmm, never heard of that. It goes the complete opposite way of the Roundup Ready crops.

It's a plant killer, you're not going to spray it on crops, you spray it on plants you don't want to grow around your crops.

If we're using that logic, then nim is only ready for high school level applications?

I guess the lesson here is to stop making a business out of burning venture capital, and start with a real business plan. There are plenty out that are building things people are willing to pay for. WhatsApp is super popular, because you&#x

I understand their rationale, but the problem is that unless your state protects you from nonsense, they are still written in a way where they literally are saying they own everything you do outside of the job. Likely? Who knows. But if an

"asserted ownership of everything I build, at work or away from work, using my own equipment, on my own time—it doesn't matter" That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Assuming you're not stealing tec

As an American, why does every topic turn into a jab from the other side of the ocean? Particularly when some of those places there are overrun by surveillance and the heavy use of cell phones. We're all in this together.
