No, these are all cruisers rather than racers. There's a mix of sailing and lifestyle, but then for a lot of them it's hard to just film the sailing because there's only so much sailing you can actually do when you live on yo

What sweetners are there? They'd have to be pretty impressive to make up a significant shortfall in value.

Last I read ( https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance... ) companies seem to be undervalued on the LSE, it seems to be like if I ran a company I might be leaving money on the table listing there. Agr

I did a quick Google. The pi 5 4GB MSRP is $60 I think, there are some available on Amazon UK for £54.90 with delivery tomorrow. That's apparently $69.53, so above MSRP, but not terrible. There may be cheaper sources I've not goog

As someone who has worked in Rails performance for quite a long time now I suggest that Rails performance is largely fine. Most Rails performance problems are database and/or architecture issues and not with the language or framework.

The entire site fails to load unless you have JS enabled, so that's a fair guess.

It's still not brutalist. Though I agree with the ideas expressed on https://brutalist-web.design , I don't believe it's brutalist either. > My primary inspiration was addressing software and tool bloat in UIs r

Is there a benefit of Mongo for that over just Postgres with JSONB columns? You're still storing JSON in Postgres but you'd get the relational aspects too for things like users having many forms, billing and account relationships

True enough, and the solutions for lighter-weight schema changes have evolved and weren't always so good, but early stage startups often don't really have the sort of data-weight issues that make this hard, unless they're sta

The price of persistent storage and memory was the same for Mongo as it was for Postgres back when the NoSQL movement happened. Mongo wasn't made of magic scaling fairies and still needed resources. As soon as you cranked up the safety

I was also a bit confused by that part. What is it about Postgres that prevents rapid prototyping? It's not like the schema is set in stone, or even particularly hard to change once you've created it.

All I really know about long keels is from what people have said. They tend to track well and don't tend to make as much leeway, but perhaps at the expense of speed due to the wetted area, and they are hard to steer backwards. Not bein

My boat has an inboard diesel so no ability to direct the prop. It does have a bow thruster, but it's only really used at slow speed, usually right at the point of docking and undocking in tight spaces, once you get the boat moving in
