Because a farmer is not backed by basically unlimited compute and can not one-shot prompt a bread to be baked automatically.
The payer couldn't care less about how much the store pays for the transaction. He or she just wants to tap with their phone, and the default here are Visa/MC cards. In addition to the transaction price not being an argument for the payer, Wero also afaik does not have as much consumer protection as (certainly some) credit cards offer. I also bet the average person doesn't understand or care about the whole political dispute either. Again, they just want to pay easily and safely.
I don't think Wero can "win" this from just the merchants side. It's got to be better for the customer's side.
Their pricing shows me “starts at 399€/month”, that’s insane. CF Pro is 25$/month.
A full integration with Cloudflare means it is their SSL certificate that’s presented to the visitor of your website, and all traffic is passed through them. They do read everything.
Thus it’s pointless to host in the EU if everything first has to go through a US company.
Did you use Cloudflare for it’s WAF too or just CDN? Last I checked Bunny is not a replacement for the CF WAF.
But Bunny Shield is not a Cloudflare WAF replacement afaik. Not even close.
I feel this and as a German company, we have our stuff hosted in the EU. But where it becomes pointless to have the host in the EU, is when Cloudflare is a requirement. Since we expose ourselfs through their certificate, we might as well host with a US company. And I’m not aware of a EU Cloudflare competitor with similar WAF offering.
That’s me too! I still have not figured out how to also make it enjoyable.
Same goes for his other book Challenger.
What if it’s used with a different harness, e.g. Opencode?
This is correct and to show what that means:
Frankfurt to Berlin with a fast ICE: 4 hours, no changes.
With regional trains only: 10-14 hours, 3-6 changes.
With a car this trip is 5 hours. No one in their right mind would ever do such a trip with regionals only, it is extremely painful. In addition, the chance that one of the connections will be missed is extremely high.
Let’s see if they still do want your $100 by requiring it for their Push Notifications API.
100% agree. I also do a swim 2-3 days a week and then sauna. It multiplies the mentioned effects greatly. I don’t think I could feel any better than I do after swim + sauna.
Yes that’s about right, no phone or anything, I just close my eyes. Sometimes I fall asleep.
It is very possible, that this is simply what it takes to sent my mind into a mental break.
I have tried Headspace and all that stuff and I see the benefits, it is just much easier to send your mind into relax mode after above mentioned schedule.
There also is a steam room adjacent to the sauna and from time to time I use it as well, but I feel like the heat does not penetrate as “deep”. What’s nicer is how the steam soothes the airways in comparison to a Finnish sauna.
It’s a regular gym that also has a sauna. Around 40€ per month will get you a gym with sauna in most cities in Germany I would say.
I have been going to the sauna of the nearby gym everyday for about 2 years now, rarely skipping it.
It is honestly hard to express how much I love the effects of it and how much I attribute to it. I can not live without it anymore.
If I wake up after a bad nights sleep and feel extremely groggy, sauna fixes it.
If I am overworked to the point where my head is pulsating, sauna fixes it, and I get another 2 hours of extremely focussed work done afterwards.
Bad mood, a cold, sore muscles, even certain types of headache, a sauna can fix.
I should mention that a sauna for me includes a cold shower immediately after leaving it, as cold as the shower will go. This is the key, the shock will make all the difference. Then you lay down, at least 10 minutes.
I do 2 rounds most days, it’s about 80C, I manage between 12-15 minutes in the first sitting, then 8-10 in the second.
I can not recommend it enough, it has changed my life.
You are in essence looking for GDPR. It calls for huge fines in case of violations and thus should ideally enforce strong security standards.
That sounds very normal, at least it’s the same for me.
Sometimes I spent a considerable amount of time brainstorming an idea or concept over and over during alone times, and then at some point it won’t return to my thoughts again, but something new replaces it. Sort of like I am “done” with that thought and my brain wants to move on.
I don’t know why that happens, but I guess I get stimulation simply from that iterative thought process. Thus your garbage collector comparison seems accurate to me.
Secretly though, I do hope to get that business idea at some point via that process. Not sure if that’s ever going to happen, but that’s okay too.
Anyone noticed, how Google Meet screen sharing on macOS is broken on a daily basis? I then always check for an update and then after a restart of chrome, it works again. Next day, it has some weird issue again.
But boy is it annoying. I wonder if it is an Apple Silicon only issue.
There is an uninstaller for the cloud client available. It does what it says actually.
Yip, does ring a bell. I believe it was the CS2 version. I also remember downloading it some 6-7 years ago on Windows.
This was super interesting to read, thank you very much.
Regarding the ffmpeg parameters and formats in general: Do you use newer formats too, like AV1 and the like?
I want to point out that if you want to release an app, be it for fun or otherwise, it’s going to cost you 100$ per year to have Apple list it in the app store.
One hundred dollars per year for the privilege of them judging your app and maybe even get it rejected.
They made tinkering around so ridiculously unattractive, because every app needs a business model (unless you are okay with eating the 100$ every year).
There need to be other stores or distribution methods. Desperately.
> I have no idea why they haven't done a 180 yet, this is a bigger failure than the butterfly keyboard.
Look at the stock. It barely moved (up).
In what universe is 9 ct for a couple bytes over the wire cheap?
Actually for Germany, the costs for sending an SMS with Twilio is 9 ct. If I’m not mistaken, that is 10x more than what it costs in the US.
