A popular use case for SaaS companies isn't even in utilizing Zapier themselves, but rather adding their API to the list of integrations. This can really speed up onboarding for customers -- especially if they already use Zapier.
In order to charge 10x faster, you need to deliver 10x the current. That means all the wiring and electronics need to be upgraded to handle the huge increase without melting.
Also, the rest stop won't just be installing a single fast charger, it would install more than one. So you can't really compare 10 slow chargers against a single fast one. That means the wiring service for the entire rest stop would likely need to be upgraded as well.
For all the reasons you mention. I have a career, I have a family, and I have side projects. I just don’t have time to dedicate to games. But sometimes you just need to blow off steam for 15 minutes before bed and the Switch is perfect for this.
Every game can be paused/stopped by hitting one button. The controls are great, software is great, and I’ve been using the the dock to play games together with family like Mario Kart. I have a bunch of maxed out characters in Diablo 3 just by playing 15 minutes here and there. :)
I would disagree with the premise that the two stores are comparable. The alternative to not use the Mac App Store is not just financial, but also allows developers to bypass the sandbox requirements.
Whether or not Apple permits alternative payment systems for iOS/iPadOS, all the apps will likely remain sandboxed.
Impressive. I wonder if Google will sell servers with these cards via Google Cloud. Seems like it could be pretty competitive in the transcoding space and also help them push AV1 adoption.
I think the business model and the software license often get conflated like this. Once you release software with an open source license, users are free to do what they wish as long as it's within the bounds of the license.
Separately comes the business model. If a business intends on selling a hosted version of their product, as most open source database companies seem to want to do, that product needs to compete on its own merits. Can the business truly offer a better hosting experience on someone else's cloud than those cloud providers themselves?
I think maybe we conflate the two because we want everything. We want to create open source products that a community contributes to and supports but that only the originating company can monetize. It just doesn't work that way.
Highly recommend the Dell XPS 13 if you enjoy the Macbook build quality. The edge-to-edge screen feels like the future.
I run EndeavourOS which is like a GUI installer for Arch. Arch's package management with (AUR -- Arch User Repo) will remind you a lot of Homebrew. And their wiki helps you get up to speed quickly.
People realize this, especially on HN. The post is referring to deprecations. You can patch security vulnerabilities and move a product forward without deprecations. Google does it well with Go.
We run it in production. Our apps are mostly Ruby but we have been rewriting services in Crystal. Originally we were attracted by the speed and type checks, but one surprising benefit has also been the reduced memory consumption. It's difficult to compare directly, but in some cases it cosumes 10x less memory and performs around 20-35x better. Even I/O bound services are sped up since we can take advantage of Crystal's concurrent fibers (rumored to come in Ruby 3.0).
The main downside has been the somewhat frequent deprecations of methods and changes to the standard lib. But it's mostly due to the preparation to launch 1.0.
Here are thorough benchmarks of Crystal and C up against other interpreted languages: https://github.com/kostya/jit-benchmarks. It has other examples besides Fibonacci.
With my wife's business we applied with Bank of America in the morning as soon as applications opened. They were one of the first banks to offer the loan. Like OP, the next day they asked us to fill out their template PDF which asked for the same information we had already provided. We did that ASAP.
Didn't hear anything else after that.
For my company we went through Chase the same day when it was available. They never asked for any information. We called, they said it was being processed. Still no info.
I have a few other friends who own businesses and none have received the loan. The only person I know that received the loan went through a local bank in New Mexico. I think the big banks just prioritized the really large loans > $1M.
