$150 for 3 years for just email is not cheap in my opinion. Also, it says closer to $200 for me but maybe it's regional. Fastmail is not a cheap provider. iCloud, Purelymail, Migadu, etc. are cheap.

You can certainly rent a mail-capable VPS less. Especially if you send emails through the AWS mail service. A small home server capable of hosting mail will absolutely not use 80W. It will use <10w.

It is true. The OnePlus Nord are really good for the price

Games with anticheat generally don't. Multiplayer games without anticheat generally so work.

20 km/h is nothing. On a bike lane you should be allowed to go normal biking speed

It can happen in Sweden too but it is less likely to. We don't have a president, we have a prime minister with limited power. We have a stronger democracy run by coalitions instead of a single party. One jackass is not enough in Sweden.

I am all for minimalism but "If you come from one codebase to another codebase by a different team it’s close to learning a completely new language" I really don't agree. It's not that big. Just sounds like a skill issue

What's the problem with the JIT runtime? Why is rapid iteration slower with JIT? Just-in-time compilation isn't inherently slower and is normally faster than AOT for dynamic languages and even static languages that have some dynamic features like dynamic dispatch

Unfortunately the QBE code is really strange so if you need to make some changes yourself it probably won't be very fun
