He doesn't really use the reliance argument. Whether dropping the pause was the right call is a separate question from whether people were allowed to rely on it. They were: the v1.0 language alluded to a much higher bar for changing co

I agree, his takes should not be dismissed lightly. I'm not sure about "demand is fixed" though. I feel like software demand has been declared saturated at least a few times.

I saw what changed syntactically. I meant I don't really understand what changed semantically. And whether there is any context to why the change was necessary.

I'm out of the loop. Is there any context? Can't pick up on what really changed here.

Wow, auto-installing any plugin onto live production sites should never be opt-out. For those managing client sites under approved-plugin policies and PCI compliance this isn't just a minor inconvenience. "We sent an email" i

Sorry to hear that. I feel for you. Getting an SaaS off the ground is hard and there's no guarantee that it will work. I know nothing is ever that easy and circumstances are complex, but my advice would be not to focus on the SaaS. Not

That is very concerning. Any chance this could be coincidence? Is there anything known that is not speculation?

That sounds like a pretty good deal for stack overflow...

Interesting, I looked into some of these types of services for my SaaS but used none of the listed providers except Mollie. I landed on IONOS for hosting, Scaleway for transactional mails, mailbox.org for receiving and sending manual mails

So the answer to your questions: 1. Is answered in the parent comment 2. It's not really about solving problems directly. Its more about a common way to hold meta information about your data. But of course that might help you with appr

Since the monad structure itself carries some inherent information, that is how "side effect" information can be carried outside of the actual data and be part of the monad structure instead. So e.g. the Maybe monad. It either has

I'm not a Haskell expert, but I dabbled quite a bit. This is my explanation of what monads are that doesnt rely on math lingo and understanding the maths behind it. I don't fully understand myself but maybe thats actually helpful

Working on a tool that lets you author in WordPress as usual (own Docker container, full editor + plugins) but exports the site to static HTML for the public version, so PHP doesn't run in front of readers. Deploy targets are Cloudflar

Author here. Quick framing for anyone who wants the why before clicking: Stelae is for people who already know WordPress but don't want to run public PHP. WordPress as private editor, static HTML as the public output. €19.90/year,

by rowbin 5mo ago
Yeah, I think that's basically right. If you know AWS/S3/CloudFront or Cloudflare Pages or whatever, the raw hosting cost is close to zero. That's not what I'm charging for. It's more the boring workflow around

You are using the security argument again. It is not used in an adverserial context. You are correct, that this is not secure. And messages can be tampered with. But this is not the application. The threat model of the application is that e

Interesting, I'd love to see some more opinions on this. I find the instant "MD5 is broken, don't use it advice" harmful. Not all applications are security related or need absolute highest speed. I actually had use cases

I think they use master for releases only. Development branch is actively worked on and more than 100 commits ahead of master which is totally active. Last full release March 2024 is totally fine. People can always build from develop branch

Thanks for that. I loathe replys like "but lang/framework/... can do/will be able to do something similar/does something else which I like better/...". Well, it's not about that. It's about how e
