Isn't running a business and especially a startup is supposed to be risky? "We have an idea that's not materialized yet, give us money so we can live comfortably and reap all benefits it it works out and not lose anything if

Very strange hearing such stories. I remember a company I worked for went through a YC interview. We were rejected with "we are not sure you can deliver". At that point, we had built 2 mobile apps, a big customer wesbite, rich por

Can't believe how spoiled we have become with open source. I see that a license purchase is required here and is immediately taken aback.

My self-diagnosis doesn't come from this alone. But you might be right, I constantly feel like I have not achieved enough.

How do you find on the backend if a page is the last one? The trick I used to avoid extra SQL queries is if a user asks for 10 records I load up to 11 and then return 10. If there were 11 then I return a cursor for the next page, otherwise

It is meant to intimidate others. They can't possibly jail everyone, but they can scare them by arresting several thousands.

it may be selfish, but I don't want to sit in prison and be beaten by police. If you are against Putin, why haven't you supported Russians in 2019 when they took to streets against him? Came to our country with Molotovs? Or was it
