This is not the religion but the people in that congregation. Christians sometimes get a bad rap but we are not all bad people.

I'm sorry you experienced that.

Congratulations on your life this far, you have certainly checked off everything there is in this material world. Honestly, I mean it. Your work ethic is great, as is your abilities to get you this far.

How is your faith life, do you believe in religion? As some others have alluded to, having gratitude and giving back I feel are your next steps you should consider taking. I think you are at a great time in your life to start that dialogue of faith, start giving back, start believing there is more in your life, more people you can help.

Life begins when we give back :) (and I don't doubt you haven't, but I think it's the next step for you after reading your comments).

Is the risk enhanced if you sleep less, or is it if you can't stay asleep? I could not tell from this study

Thank you for posting this.

I had considered Triplebyte as a platform to use years ago but never got around to filling it all out. I _did_ see this email but didn't really think about it until I read this article.

No doubt, this move was made to incentivize more cash flow for Triplebyte. I've lost my trust in the company and will not be recommending them to anyone I speak to again.

Customers will use your service, if they trust you and you provide value. Pulling sneaky things like this to keep your shareholders happy are not the things I want to be apart of. If you can't make money, why not consider offering Triplebyte to be paid, instead of going behind our backs in a sneaky way trying to sell our personal data.

Great! Thanks for sharing! I'll look into this

I admire your words here.

I am on the other side, building electron apps, I appreciate the flexibility and ease because I would rather iterate on ideas then learn three different OS-hooks.

I do agree that memory usage is too high on these types of apps and we as developers can be lax about performance.

It is the culture that creates this attitude, and can span any type of work.

If you need sponsors, you should sell your project as a business. I don't think we should expect sponsors for hobby projects that may grow large.

Always a tricky thing when your project gets traction and then others start to use it and expect to "hire" you for free.

No, I don't think it can (completely).

If you procrastinate, you lack discipline. No technology can change or give you discipline. You have to work on it and you can't let yourself say no, it's a mindset.

The pandemic has taught me that I spent time doing busy work because I didn't want to face my emotions.

Skimmed over the responses here to make sure what I want to say wasn't already covered.

I think there are a lot of reasons: - Many do hobby projects and aren't looking for money. Users use these hobby projects and expect all software to be free. - Software is non-tangible, so it's hard to make the value connection to it. It's not material, so why do I have to pay? - The costs are hidden. It's hard to say software is $x because it took 3 months for feature y. Those are internal implementation details that users don't see or don't understand. - It is hard to justify need. Tool z might also solve your problem, so might as well use that. It's not as straightforward as I'm hungry, I need food. Software can solve a problem in one way, but only if you see it in that way. (Generality)

This is great, thanks for sharing!

It goes to say that we all need each other.

Well written article. If I was better versed in math I might be able to pose questions on the article, but it is a straightforward explanation.

1. Don't be afraid to say I don't know 2. Don't immediately blame, but remember what has happened in order to not repeat it again 3. Don't be afraid to ask questions 4. Have a meeting agenda for every meeting you start, in order to stay on track and respect everyone's time 5. If your email is more than 3 paragraphs, you probably need to have a meeting

Thanks for offering to contribute to open source!

I own the secure electron template open-source library. It's a template for building secure electron apps. There are a few low priority issues if you'd like to work on them. Otherwise, there are various dependencies such as context menus, i18n support, etc that could use new features if you want to think of some that could be useful.

This is a neat app, thanks for creating it and hosting it for us to use.

This is why I avoid hooks. I design my components to use state and I find hooks to not fit well in my applications.

A new licensing model where it's prohibitive to make a profit off of this work.

Thanks for posting this explanation and making an effort to update your terms of service to call out this behavior.

We appreciate that you are intent on fixing this, it helps us know that there are honest people working at Stripe and helps clear the fog that what seem to be a lot of us believing you are doing malicious things.

I hope you and your family stay healthy during this pandemic.

Thanks for putting all of these sources together!

You are likely right, this is a fascinating insight.

For as much as we rely on their services and look to Google for advice on best practices and guidelines, time and time again services are simply dropped.

On one hand, yes as a company I imagine you sneak some sneaky verbiage in the ToS so that you can't back yourself into a corner you can't get out of, but offering a lifetime subscription and it just being canceled - I just can't trust Google anymore to keep services up they "promise" will be there.

I think you need to ask yourself why you feel like you can't complete something. When I hear you say this yourself, I feel like you may struggle with too many good ideas or a lack of discipline to see them through.

For me, my problem is I have too many ideas, and sometime the fun of a new idea outweighs finishing an existing idea. This is where I need to rely on my discipline to carry me through to completion.

Most of my projects don't ever go past 2-3 months, but the one that is now, well it's requiring my discipline so that I can finish it. That isn't to say I just work on that, I have days I do other things to give me a break as well.

I'm curious from a legal perspective how this is allowed. RCT was my favorite franchise, and I loved this game.

Why do the original files need to be installed? That too I am curious of.

Very well done website, thanks for hosting this!

It's truly inspiring, isn't it?

I think it's moreso that you have a desire to help someone, using the skills unique to you, that is what makes it inspiring.

I appreciate people like you, who see a need that someone has, and takes the initiative to help them.

The project matters, but less so. Being a person who is willing to help others is what makes the world go round.

I have no need for BI software myself, but I appreciate the fire you have inside of you and wish you good luck if you take this further.

Only 90 hours? /s

If part of a test project, are you spending the time to fit within the guidelines or are forced to for some reason?

You cut the cord, terminate the server, kill the connection. They think they can get away with it because they are a big shot, if they don't pay, they don't deserve to get free service.

All you are doing is telling them they can get away with it. Stand up to your brand and do the right thing, even if you feel it's not the right thing (people with lots of money are no different than anyone else, they too need to put pants on like everyone else)
