Imba was actually forked from CoffeeScript... hopefully, they've managed to avoid all the downsides.

Re:Ask HN: What are your best and safest investment options? on Monday December 26, 2022 @05:52AM (#34136565)
0. Compound interest is your friend

1. Time in market > Timing the market (you're good starting early)

2. Use bogleheads (as mentioned) but check EU specific tax avoidance strategies. Ideally, prefer tax free > tax rebate > taxable investments

3. The younger you are the more risk you can take on, go 10% crypto, 90% equities and don't worry about bonds for now or something along those lines

4. Diversify into US stock, foreign stock, bonds as time goes on rebalance.

5. Once all that is done, look at real estate and other alternative investments.

6. Dollar cost averaging is always a good idea, invest the same amount every month no matter how good or bad the markets are

7. The only caveat to #6 is when you have a lumpsum amount (bonus, etc.) the earlier you invest the more time it spends in the market the greater your returns

Re:AWS Pinpoint Launches Two-Way Text Messaging on Tuesday September 26, 2017 @02:46PM (#15341469)
Hmm. Interesting.

Cheaper (~0.65c) per SMS than twilio (~0.75c) in the US, great if you're already on AWS and support for sending to 200+ countries[1] but no MMS support that I can see...

Re:Apple fans are coming to hate Apple software on Monday February 08, 2016 @05:22PM (#11061301)
Wow, that's a lot of media hoopla.

Let's be real, Apple's never been a software company -- they've always made excellent hardware and good enough software that people will deal with because they want their amazing hardware. No one has ever said anything about any Apple software compared to what people say about their hardware.

Software's not in their DNA and I think all this media attention will just fade after a while and people will keep using and loving Apple hardware and putting up with their miserable software.

For the record, I use Notes/Mail/Photos on my iPhone, and Preview has never crashed for me.
