CloudFlare Pages is even easier for static hosting with automatic GitHub pulls.

Well, I could have been clearer, but it was a proposition, hence the "If this is true" in the following sentence. That being said, I don't think those counter arguments really invalidate the philosophical zombie thought exper

Exactly, that's why I said " only hiring great engineers". For startups it's best to start with at least one or two good technical co-founders, as the risk of losing them is lower when compared to an employee.

It doesn't make the story any less interesting, but she was just a girl he dated. He didn't marry her. Also he married three times, not four.

Also only hiring great engineers is an existential risk. Every time someone leaves, you lose a part of the business that is hard to replace. It sounds counter-intuitive, but mediocracy usually works better in the long run.

I agree, removing the free plan was a bad move. They should have at least grandfathered existing free tier users. I was just explaining their point of view. When you don't need advertising anymore, the free plan starts becoming a net l

> OP can't even provide proof from the tax office of being at that address Well, the article says otherwise. I think "The document was rejected because it was a tax invoice, not a bill." is a pretty lame rejection reason.

I write Python code for a living and no two projects I work on have the exact same dependencies. This is especially true when working with microservices, or working for multiple customers.

The canonical way to do this with pip was using Constraints Files [1]. When you pollute your main requirements.txt it gets harder to see which package is an actual dependency of your project, and which ones are just sub-dependencies. Constr

Scientists discover things that I don't understand every day. A sufficiently advanced discovery in, say, mathematics can only be understood by other mathematicians. Does that make it less of a discovery? So what's wrong if a machi

Fair enough, but it is much harder to hold a corporation responsible. Jail is a great deterrent for natural persons.

This is easier to test than arthritis. A doctor can make incisions on both arms of the same person at the exact same depth and length, then apply electricity to one of the wounds and monitor healing time.
