Open source is a category of licenses.

What you mean is that it is plaintext, and can be introspected. Great for many practical purposes, yes, but in business context, you are obligated to honor the actual license.

Agile is not "it's done when it's done".

Agile is "it makes sense every day of the week, we should talk often".

SaaS is not a bad deal when users pay for the service directly.

And Google have provided tremendous value with their free tools. People forget what it was like before Gmail and Docs.

I sincerely hope we can move away from their business model, but looks to me consumers rather pay with anything but their money.

How exactly did Scaleway give up? They keep releasing new cloud and serverless products.

There's also IONOS.

There is experimental support for arbitrary executables:

But you can use a thin JS wrapper to make shell calls from Node. Slightly inconvenient, but works well for my use case.

They said 5 new customers per week so still adding twice as many as churn.

Still, it's going to plateau relatively soon.

It's more than enough data for a specialized tool, yes.

It's not even remotely enough data for a statistical language processor.

This comment of yours reads like chapter one. Well done, I guess? Strangely hard to turn something into fiction what we're already going through.

I always say, I don't work in my bedroom; I sleep in the office...

It gets to you after a while.

I'm sure dedicated space helps, and currently taking steps to find one.

How so?

Nice, simple service! Well done shipping.

How do you solve for high availability? I wish hetzner would have S3-compatible object storage. Static files off of a running server gives me this weird vibe - although I should know better! It was all fine before the cloud.

It's a tough market, wish you luck!

No, not all children die while being a child.

Antinatalism (the philosophy that having kids is immoral) has nothing to do with life expectancy.

Culture has shifted, and every action is now also a political action.

Especially if you have a new drug in your hand, or have a better way to get clean water. One tribe will milk the optics, the other will sabotage and rally people against the thing.

Have a co-worker in Kiev, and you say you're worried? Boom, your neighbor buries you under Russian propaganda.

Got vaccinated? Congrats, half your family just disowned you.

Every decision is taking a side, if not in our own minds, then in those who breathe the same air.

But I must say, Andrew, this is awesome, and you gave me a lot to think about.

Not long ago 'how can birds fly' was a subject of fiendish complexity.

Then the human race spent a few centuries studying physics.

Sociology may be running in circles now (i.e. replication crisis), but imagine what it can discover in a similar timeframe.

Meanwhile, our best course is educating ourselves, no matter how futile, because inaction is not a good way to live with other people on the same planet.

A defeatist argument. We would need a crystal ball, there's no point in even trying!

I propose we create models to reduce complexity, and then make adjustments to approximate reality with increasing accuracy. If this works out in our favor, let's also give it a name, like science.

The fact that no person can understand everything in detail doesn't mean some of us shouldn't try in some capacity.

Marketers use the term channel to describe a way to reach an audience: social media platforms, SEO content, content marketing, ads, podcasting, etc.

Saturation is maximizing the rate with which marketers flood these channels with messages.

This is a big topic amongst B2B marketers nowadays because buyer behavior is changing.

I think you're being misled by the specific phrasing, while underneath it's a simple product discovery technique (often referred to as jobs to be done).

No selling to moms necessary.

Their "home" edition is open source and way more capable than anything I've seen for other formats.

Saxonica, the company behind it, has been critical for the evolution of the XML ecosystem.

I agree that lack of alternatives sucks but the breadth of options you refer to is backed by an army of open source volunteers.

Saxon is where it's at.

When XSLT 3.0 tells a joke, it starts with "a JSON walks into a bar..."

First instinct: I would personally start with Nextcloud and then fill in the blanks. It covers a lot of ground, file sharing, collaborative document editing, calendars, contacts.

You don't explicitly mention some of these, but they're inevitably part of all businesses.

Odoo was the best self hosted ERP last time I looked (although it wasn't recent). IIRC it handles point of sale as well as online purchases. Best if you use it for inventory mgmt too. Some components are paid.

One of my favorite resources on the internet is https://awesome-selfhosted.net/ You'll find hidden gems in all the categories you listed.

Edit: actually, first instinct is to follow philomath_mn's advice and self host the minimum amount of services. Even with a small off-the-shelf NAS collecting video footage there's always some maintenance going on. This is a fine hobby, but can be a distraction from the real thing.

Happy EcoTank user here. The colors are good (make sure to set to high quality in the print job settings). And the ink is indeed very good value, and you can refill each color separately.

Giving up some speed, it can also print pretty quietly, which was nice when we had a big batch during night time.

But I still order family photos from an online store. YMMV.

It's more important to keep the number of features low. Good devs talk about aligning the architecture to requirements, and that sometimes includes microservices.

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Why force pricing tiers such that it matches an abstract principle? If you have an e.g. [x, 10x] pair of plans, and a few percent of subscribers are on the 10x, the Pareto power law still holds. In fact, I've heard cases where it was beneficial to have a lower multiplier between tiers, so people feel at ease to upgrade. A 4x jump is a tough negotiating position to go after expansion revenue.

Give them a few more. They acquired Rancher, k3s, have MicroOS, and ALP in the pipeline. I'm rooting for them.

Do you have a hard rule against saying sorry? I apologize not for the mistake in my work, but for wasting other people's time and mental bandwidth.

Overblown criticism like this give GDPR an undeserved bad rep.

How do they not understand it?
