I'm just surprised people can find developers to do these rewrites. I've never worked on a system I could recreate and I'm pretty wary of trying it even with code I wrote myself. There are just so many pitfalls and details. I trust almost any dev I've worked with to edit an existing system, but almost none of them to write new code.

I don't mind paying $25/year/desktop nearly as much as I mind the twenty clicks to find out the $25 is an annual fee.

Look at it: https://ubuntu.com/pricing/pro

Whoever did this web design should be shot.

I had to go partway through placing an order to find out this is an annual (as opposed to monthly, quarterly, or lifetime) fee. I still have no idea which fees are per-machine, and which are one-time.

The server pricing is messed up too:

(1) I would never pay $225/year for my nano instances.

(2) I have no idea how to count licenses in my cloud, where servers spin up and down all the time in response to load.

(3) I'd pay a lot more for uber-large instances (if I were currently using them, which I'm currently not).

The server pricing ought to just take a flat cut of my EC2 costs. I'd gladly pay Ubuntu a flat markup.

Denmark reached 100% wind capacity in 2013, 9 years ago, and is today completely dependent on Norway and Sweden to supply hydro energy when demand exceed supply. Around 50% of the energy Denmark consume is from imports.

Denmark wind and solar farms do sell a lot of energy to other countries when the weather is optimal, but when its not they have to buy that energy from somewhere. EU ruled a while back that the Swedish energy grid must sell energy to Denmark if there is available energy, and so the Swedish grid and the Danish grid is thus tied in a way that removes any distinctions between the two.

Denmark is thus a terrible example of wind replacing fossil fuels, unless they suddenly would forgo imports and live with only having power 50% of the time. They are a great example of how you can invest in renewable energy as long the issue of grid stability can be solved through imports.

I clarified my usage of the term "infiltration" in response elsewhere in this thread. It's very bizarre that you're harping on that term when, technically speaking, it's accurate (even if my use here is mildly hyperbolic):

Like I explained to you in another response, abductive reasoning makes fair game of the conclusion that, yeah, if election worker v̵o̵t̵e̵r̵ [1] information is stored on the servers of another country (and of all countries, China—not known for its VPS services), it's reasonable to conclude that there's something not right about that.

If you use cri-o as the runtime along with an openshift container registry, it will actually verify signatures at the runtime layer. In addition to crio, podman and anything based on containers/image supports this too.

Really that just means a registry that sends back a header indicating it supports signatures and serves up the right signature endpoints. It's shocking this isn't more common.

But if you just want to check signatures at the cluster's point of entry, you can use an admission controller to block the pods from being created with unsigned images.

Tools for building a subscription/SaaS product
Hi,

I built a website on Replit, and would now like to monetize it with subscription. I would like some advice on the best tools for that. Specifically, what I'm looking for is something that:

1. supports multiple tiers of offerings eg free users will get limited views, tier 1 users will get x features, tier 2 users will get x+y features and so forth
2. allows users to sign in (using email, gmail, etc) so that they can manage their subscription and so that they can access the premium features
3. take payments
4. a professional looking landing site like this https://uideck.com/templates/play-html/

I looked at multiple solutions:

1. Chargebee (but requires an official work email account that I don't yet have. it's also unclear if it offers a sign in feature)
2. Stripe subscription + customer portal (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions and https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management/get-started)
3. Squarespace and Wix (but saas apps don't seem to be their primary use case)
4. buy a bootstrap framework
5. Memberful

The ideal solution would have the following (in order of priority):

1. have all of the features above so that I would need to use only one tool and not multiple
2. easy to integrate / as little code as possible
3. Cheap if not free
4. gives me the flexibility to a/b test the monetization/subscription models eg being able to test when to surface the paywall, pricing, etc

Would anyone be able to advice? Thanks in advance.

Some good advice here. I would also suggest adding a build ID to the log message along with the other optional fields, this being the version of the software that logged the message. It can help track down incompatibility issues, especially those that happen during the deployment of server-side software.

For example if you're on version X and in the process of deploying version Y, when service A sends a request to service B you have 4 distinct possibilities regarding the versions running on these two instances (X→X, X→Y, Y→X, Y→Y). If in version Y you've made changes to the request in its protocol/format/payload, you'll need to deal with all 4 cases to avoid encountering errors during the deployment. If the instances log all messages with their version, it'll help track down these transient incompatibility bugs, e.g.

{
"service": "B",
"build": "X",
"request_service": "A",
"message": "unknown field in request: 'new_field'"

Contrived in that OP focused on particular developer needs and ignored the rest.

> What most JS developers should really care about is the ecosystem, the tooling, the documentation, the code quality, and the testability of their chosen framework

This isn't just OP's opinion. OP is lite gatekeeping by suggesting that most JS developers should share their opinion. I will agree that testability is paramount, but lacking specific contexts (embedded, high-perf, security, etc) the rest of the heuristic deals with a series of trade-offs.

OP has possibly worked in a limited context when writing front-end code, and has not been forced to make trade-offs. The most glaring issue with their argument is that developers should stick with libraries that have large ecosystems and tooling. This is an anti-progress, anti-innovation sentiment which does not even hold up. Like another poster said, there was no reason to ever drop jQuery and move to view libraries if ecosystem and tooling were paramount.

JEP draft: Unnamed local variables and patterns
> But since you're partitioned you really ought to be limiting by the value of the partition key in your queries anyways...

Not if these are analytical queries...

If you're wondering what the point of partitioning a table that's going to be used for analytical queries: if you partition by insertion time, and your table is append-only, then you're only ever writing to one partition (the newest one), with all the partitions other than the newest one being "closed" — VACUUM FREEZEd and then never written to again. So, rather than one huge set of indices that get gradually-more expensive to update as you insert more records, those write costs will only rise up to the end of the month/week/day, and then jump back down to zero as you begin writing to a new empty partition.

In Europe it's the mix of all laws. Mainly two made it dangerous to have a robot calling:

- you can get fined 220k per unsolicited call and

- fined same ranged amount for data leaks or selling without written consent (which often is a part of contracts but can be striked through by you. The other party have to decide then hehe)

Also, there are regulations that call centers must use real numbers and what's more important: they aren't allowed to hide them.

The mobile/landline Providers can be fined too if they do not cooperative with the local enforcement office and one does not want to have an argument with the office.
