Re:Heat pump sales rise across Europe on Monday May 04, 2026 @04:28PM (#48014517)
I'm no expert on UK energy pricing, but the main difference between a boiler and heat pump is that heatpump can be, eg "500% efficient" - a COP of 5. So even if a KWH of energy is 2x the price for electricity a heatpump often comes out ahead.
Re:An Update on Heroku on Saturday February 07, 2026 @08:33AM (#46923727)
Heroku does lots of revenue, even if they pay AWS. I do think it would be worth.. quite a bit. And I would be very happy if a better steward would buy it.
Re:An Update on Heroku on Friday February 06, 2026 @12:18PM (#46915497)
Thanks for the reply! Most of these (also on the alternativeto) are self-hosted, which is different from having heroku do it. Also most only support webservers, while the majority of our servers aren't web..
Re:An Update on Heroku on Friday February 06, 2026 @11:11AM (#46914635)
It really surprises me there isn’t a modern heroku alternative that supports the same.. things. Like build pipelines, routing included, multiple worker types. AWS is way less batteries included. And none of the competitors seems to offer the same kind of service, last time I looked.

This did resolve itself.. I guess adding the card took.. a few minutes? Errors were confusing tho
Re:Code and Let Live on Sunday January 11, 2026 @05:57AM (#46574438)
I liked this idea so much I signed up and linked my personal cc (to my job email) to try it out. Unfortunately, it keeps saying "You must add a credit card to use Sprites with this organization" - even though I just linked a card. No way to continue from there: it's a loop that shows my account with an "activate" button, clicking it shows the error and my account again. Fly.io says I have an account now and it's "in good standing".. :(
Re:Claude Advanced Tool Use on Tuesday November 25, 2025 @05:47PM (#46051786)
Jira actually has both an MCP server and a CLI tool (called "acli"). I switched our claude code to the CLI (with a skill) from the MCP as it seems.. more efficient/quicker.
Re:Sniffly – Claude Code Analytics Dashboard on Sunday August 31, 2025 @11:33AM (#45083978)
Feature suggestion: Costs (and tokens) per branch. I'm interested what branches we spend the most on.
Re:New AI Coding Teammate: Gemini CLI GitHub Actions on Thursday August 07, 2025 @03:20PM (#44829142)
The setup for this is So confusing. I had cursor bugbot (and copilot, but that's github themselves) where it was just a few clicks. Here it's a command line tool you can install in github but you also need a google cloud project?

There is a danger, but not a direct danger (of the plane crashing). It certainly isn't healthy :)
