They don't report battery status to non-Apple devices. This is a pretty basic feature and without this I wouldn't consider them to perform "on par" with other Bluetooth headphones.
It's great that Microsoft added this as an official feature but there has been an open-source third-party solution that does exactly the same thing for a long time: https://github.com/dotnet-script/dotnet-script
I take the opposite approach - bundling is a non-starter for me. But it really depends on what you're building. Bundling can be great for web apps, but for content-driven websites where SEO optimization is key, I prefer the "90s-style" approach and Fullsoak's philosophy.
Also, separate HTTP requests allow for granular caching, and with HTTP/2 the overhead is minimal.
Tried this as well but the difficulty is that Postgres is a relational database whereas ElasticSearch stores schema-less documents.
Your record in ES might include data from many different tables, and figuring out what to (efficiently) update when there is a change in Postgres is not a simple task.
While I agree that static typing provides some of the benefits of unit tests, I think it provides much more than that: compiler-assisted renames, code completion, extra code documentation...
I like solving problems that I encounter, with the assumption that others may have similar issues. When I moved to Bulgaria, I wanted to learn Bulgarian online, but I couldn't find any good resources for it (since it's a relatively niche language). So, I built my own learning platform [0]. I created an MVP and ran a few Facebook ads, and it was quickly confirmed that many other people were interested in a resource like mine.
Currently, I'm exploring opportunities in the video editing space, based on pain points I experience with existing software.
> It's particularly smart in this moment of tension with Russia, as Europe depends a lot on Russian energy.
This may help lowering the reliance of France on Russia but its energy production will still be reliant on other countries, as 100% of the required fuel (uranium) is imported.
I grew up in a European city and never once took a car to school. I walked to primary school, junior high and high school. Then I took public transport to university.
I know most cities and neighborhoods aren't set up for that in the US, but if it can be done in Europe it can be done elsewhere.
> you’d already have to hire pretty much all the same staff
I don't know what most Algolia customers are like, but we have been using them for a long time and we are a team of... 2 (only 1 being a technical person).
So hiring a whole team to work on search is certainly not an option for everyone. By paying $29 / month and spending a couple of hours on integration, you get a working search that most small shops will be happy with. That sounds like a valuable proposition to me.
I think that's unnecessarily angry at Microsoft. Of course they have to sell something. They offer some great tools for free (as in free speech) and you still complain that their MVPs promote their own paid services at their conferences?
I feel that if that law was to pass, the affected companies would simply add that 3% tax to the prices European consumers pay, especially since this is a tax on the revenue and not on profit.
It's not like US tech giants have much competition to fear from European companies anyway. A 3% price increase isn't going to get anyone to switch to another service (except maybe in the case of Amazon's physical sales).
In the end, consumers would pay and this would add to the already large price difference between the EU and the US, due to the much higher applicable VAT in the EU, as well as other similar taxes applied in some EU countries (private copying levy [0], eco-participation [1]...).
