In a language without a spec? You don't. But python has a very strong spec.

Appears to not work on Linux. Just launches, doesn't install an application file, window is blank on launch, and menu bar is all greyed out.

I don't think the market of people buying used phones for the purpose of graphene is going to make a dent in profits for Google. It raises resale value maybe by say, $0, considering the price is set by the average consumer

It has one thing going for it: Setup.

And by setup I mean, integration and account creation. You don't have to do it. You already have a git repo, just add some yaml, and bobs your uncle.

This is called the "transactional outbox pattern"!

Pypi is the only OS agnostic package manager already installed on every OS.

Also, it's VERY convenient for companies already using python as the primary language because they can manage the dependency with uv rather than introduce a second package manager for devs. (For example, if you run deno code, but don't maintain any JS yourself)

It's technically a 300% margin because they are charging you for 20g but only shipping 6g.

Holy survivor bias batman! A bakery that makes sandwiches is good because well... It's still around and making sandwiches. That's like saying "companies that become profitable are less likely to fail". Bakeries only start to make sandwiches _after_ succeeding at being a good bakery. On average a sandwich shop is bad for the same reason most startups fail: there are a lot of them.

This is "not allowing cross site at all" so, technically it's not "request forgery" protection. Yes, this is very semantic, but, CSRF is a vulnerability introduced by enabling CS and CORS. So, technically, same-site cookies are not "protection" against CSRF.

What do you postgres self hosters use for performance analysis? Both GCP-SQL and RDS have their performance analysis pieces of the hosted DB and it's incredible. Probably my favorite reason for using them.

So, let me get this straight, the "platform fee" is baked into the runner cost, but, their cheapest runner is the _same price_ as the platform fee? So its the same price to have them run it vs have me run it?

I LOVE gitlab, but their new pricing is absurd. It feels like they are trying to shovelware their AI stuff. Their cheapest plan is more than 7x the cost of github, AND more expensive than github enterprise! And thats on the _cheapest_ non free gitlab plan. If you self host gitlab entirely, you can't even get branch/force-push protection. If they could bring their pricing to even just 2x github by having a NON-AI plan, I would purchase again in a heartbeat.
