slotted.io (available, as is slotted.com, but at a gouging price). Mind you, public brainstorming like this might be liable to abuse from snipers!

Would expect some kind of demonstration of capability before parting with the moolah. Some kind of 'free trial' (even if limited) should be your headline feature.

Do you work for Databricks?

I agree. I'm turned off by the way everything is a subscription nowadays, even if you only use a service a discrete and specific number of times. Not your fault I know :-) everyone is doing it! But there are only so many annuities I&#x

Can you point to any resources that explain how to eradicate your surfing behavior from Facebook's tracking? I'm sure it's not as simple as clearing cookies and never visiting a Facebook property again.

A cold email is like a cold call. Among other things, they don't foster trust and the shared experience of acknowledging challenging problems. When a CxO has a problem, they're more likely to reach out to their own networks than t

Pricing starts at $299/mo - how does this stack up? No connection.

This is quite a competitive space now. It's also price competitive - with orgs like Notion offering free use to individuals. Interesting to see a different spin though - I'm not sure any similar services offer spaced repetition, f

I grew up in a steel town (Port Talbot, South Wales) in the shadow of a massive steel plant. It's very interesting to be able to decompose Bret's descriptions and align each stage of the process with its modern, automated equivale

I also found it expensive for a poor kid to learn along with the Amiga. So expensive - plus in the UK expansion hardware was ridiculous. In fact, in later life, through a coincidence, I met the marketing person who decided a 1MB RAM upgrade

To me, they look like how I imagined the main alien structure in Peter Watts' Blindsight.

I know it's a closed beta, but would be interested in (at least) reading it.

Maybe it's because I'm a cheap date, but those prices look rather upmarket.

Totally a fan of Udemy (at sale-price). I find their star points sytem a very reliable indicator of quality and have become a real fan of several of their featured instructors (among whom are Andrew Mead, Stephen Grider and Jonas Schmedtman

Please tell us how much it costs. Why would anyone trial any software without knowing the potential cost? Edit: The only reason I can think of is if they had no intention whatsoever of proceeding to purchase it.

I'd (seriously) like to see how it stacks up against Camtasia, which I've just discovered in my new job that I have no budget for.

You know, color me stupid, but at this time, I don't think we need this kind of languid, laconic writing. It reads like a retrospective of the situation, but it's hardly begun.

Agreed. The simple solution is an expenditure cap. Why can't Amazon implement one? The fear of it going wrong like this would make me keep away from AWS forever.

Yeah, I knew about Mr. Pirsig and I've always loved the book. Depends how impatient you are - or perhaps more accurately, how your financial situation is. Because of my marketing background, I started off with a large company (CSC Comp

You could be me! I was in a similar position but could not afford the salary decrease (however temporary) from senior marketer to junior developer. So I segued into technical writing from marketing - my salary dropped a little but there wer

I know several people who keep silent until they can say something clever, and frankly, in most group situations they stand out as being slightly weird. Keeping your intellectual powder dry is just not a socially 'giving' behaviou

When I last looked, https://www.compose.com/ did 'blind hiring' - they judge you by a small, representative work task rather than the credentials you boast. OK, you'll spend quite some time if you want to nai

Because it costs money to sustain the armies of talentless paper-pushers who work for these organisations.

Well, it could also be a reflection upon the poor judgment of someone who persisted in getting tattoos in the full knowledge that their (perhaps potential) employer frowned on them.

Lower risk: No savings? Well, now you have some. Not the right place to advise what to do with your savings, but many would suggest index-linked funds with low management fees. Higher risk: Eastern Europe sounds like a low cost of living ki

I'm guessing that fences might also be a slight problem for the sewer system.
