I find that I rarely do one search. It’s usually a search, followed by looking at the first few links and probably opening them in tabs, then refining the search terms to get better results. It’s an iterative process. So the 10 per day on a

Is Julia any good for general purpose (non-scientific) use? I guess it probably may not have as many libraries as Python. So what do the library and third party package coverage look like in comparison to languages like Python, Go, etc.?

A bit weird writing style, and I don’t know if this is Substack or the lack of proofreading. It quotes a problematic statement and then after one or two paragraphs, it says this: > But here is an important thing that many people forget:

My guess is that OpenAI now has a full blown Cursor equivalent in development (an expansion of Codex?) and will announce it in September. Otherwise it stands to lose those who are used to working with Cursor.

My experience is different. I like the chronological feeds and the lists I can create to group accounts.

I have a lurking account and follow some other accounts, but I’m not interested in “liking” or “reposting” any posts. I want to keep my usage and engagement as low as possible. The “For You” feed doesn’t work for this need because it relies

GP here. You make some valid points, but I was talking about the pricing of the hosted service by Ente because Ente allows self hosting too. Of course, the investment to support self hosting and to provide the apps (for free to anyone, incl

GP here. The initial comment did not say that it was the gross margin. Only a follow up reply to my comment asking about the price reduction did. So I assumed it was net margin.

If your margins are about 70%, do you have any plans to reduce your prices? Compared to other photo storage platforms, your pricing seems a lot higher. End to end encryption seems to be the only USP when a person looks at your hosted offeri

I disagree that it’s a waste of time or that only gullible people use it. A WAF (enabled to block malicious requests) is a cheaper and quicker solution to throw and still get some benefits. I’ve seen that even in some large (non-FAANG or wh

That’s exactly what I thought too when I saw “$12 annually”. Then I read the “$15 when billed monthly” and realized this is a monthly price. OP, please correct this.
