Looks like a great concept! I found the price relatively high compared to other solutions on the market, aren’t you concerned that you’re touting “affordability” as a selling point?

“I stress, this is the euro area. It does not change my suggestion on the role of interest rates, which are a peculiarly UK phenomenon.”

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but that’s anti-capitalistic in an original sense. One purpose of the free market is to deliver the best value to consumers at the lowest expense possible. If a company is making excessively vast profit, the

A few companies in tech have plenty of goodwill, even if not all are privately owned: RedHat (currently burning theirs), Mozilla, 37signals, Khan Academy, Mapbox, Komoot, DuckDuckGo, Brave, etc. Not all these have a viable business model, b

Unless there’s a comment more pedantic than mine disproving this, ghee IS clarified butter.

As someone that did shadow work, this is disingenuous and unhelpful. People undergoing depression or PTSD can’t be told to “man up” and work on themselves alone. Therapists are usually very careful with confidentiality.

You’re sadly right, but many of these apps have a freemium model. BetterHelp isn’t free at all, it’s actually fairly expensive; so one could argue they should not need to phone in your data to so many third-parties. I pay my therapist for t

I find myself agreeing with this sentiment lately, as a WebStorm user of many years. Little bugs and annoyances stay in the product, while every new feature has been unimportant for me — anecdotal, I know. I particularly disliked Fleet. It

Valid point, but only partially true. It was remarkably easy to simply take a database dump and clone the server. Or pay the bill again. Or have multiple billing admins. There’s a very good number of forums still alive, proving they have so

Would it be better if the language stopped evolving?

Modern development is complex enough that we do pay professionals to know how to handle all/most of the edge cases.

I suppose it’s “JS-stable”, given it is version 12, cutting 2 majors in 6 months.

On the other hand, it doesn’t handle internationalization very well; something I find the EUI websites do properly.

Nonsense. You can choose which version to use, same with Cloudflare’s 3 different DNS choices.

Thanks for saying this. It’s a bit toxic if reviewers are constantly demanding immense change, immense improvements. Small incremental gains are great. We’re mired in spectacular technology. If anything, software practices and efficiency ar

Google isn’t far behind either. Perhaps corporate-owned open-source ecosystems weren’t a great idea.

I have my doubts as to whether they can be a good citizen of the open-source community and respect the developers relying on their tools. I routinely see bugs marked “won’t fix” and nonsensical new features in the React Native ecosystem.

Sadly, it's quite hard to fix the environment, since we're communally invested into the current system.

You're being downvoted for having a bad attitude, victim-blaming in a system not designed for healthy weight, and for generally not understanding this is a nice forum. This isn't Reddit.

Possibly the marketing gang writing copy about ‘benefits’ instead of features? It’s supposed to help drive conversion.

Good luck Karri! I am so glad that I picked Linear for my startup. You folks have been consistently responsive, helpful, and keep delivering features that matter. It’s been a delight after a decade of Jira and the gang.

2) Pretty much. I never got into the serverless hype vs keeping some well-managed VMs running, but YMMV depending on your needs. Cloud SQL works quite well for us too. 3) Also yes. We tried to get on Scaleway’s Startup Program but were reje

And where energy inflation is sitting around 20% instead of 80%… Gas went up 600% for me, by the way. I know their reactors are offline, but come winter, they’ll be reliable again.

You’re essentially saying someone on a 100k salary can’t complain, as it’s their fault if they’re feeling inflation. Why are you defending a system that is punishing the majority? Stockholm Syndrome?

That’s a bit harsh, but this is definitely a very Raspberry Pi-focused take on inflation. Besides, electronics were already going up pre-war.

by xctr94 4y ago
Yep, that’s the country I’m in too. We’re energy dependent, so it’s to be expected. In a way, it will expedite improvements in efficiency where possible. Some won’t be able to afford that, which is the more concerning part. But all in all,

I guess most answers up to now are from ‘across the pond’ or people earning very high salaries? Inflation is wiping out my savings. I didn’t have much disposable income left after basic expenses, which was okay considering I’m in a EU count

You don’t need to either/or these 2 concepts. Societies always have some amount of negative and positive freedoms. In Germany it’s illegal to do the Nazi salute in public, which is a form of ideological censorship, but there’s a valid,
