€780 is 1/5th of the price of a laptop?

As an example, the comment you're replying to is true for The Netherlands

The problem is that Maps API keys are now used to give your users access to Gemini, including sensitive content in that service

Opening this page makes my (quite beefy) machine grind to a halt! Almost all CPU threads and the GPU jump up to 80% usage

New comment by timvdalen in "European Commission issues call for evidence on open source"

What's stopping you from just running your business while waiting before the notary has time for you?

It's ultimately the same thing; if in your async queue system your application was denied you'd still be liable.

Is it? If you're not interested in limited liability it's 85 euros to file for a company. If you do want limited liability, you have to visit a notary to found, but even that's only like 500 euros. Sure, you have to do your taxes every year and that's annoying, but it's not _that_ hard.

I've never used Graphite's AI features, so I can't compare!

I'm really used to my Graphite workflow and I can't imagine going without it anymore. An acquisition like this is normally not good news for the product.

Thanks! I did, but must have missed this one, thought the announcement was more recent.

That discussion is for the original announcement of the price changes, they're now going back on that announcement

No it's much less. Our runners are hosted in AWS ECS, you'd be surprised how affordable you can make that given the right optimizations (which is probably why GH made this decision).

Just a lot of different actions, none of them long-lived. It's CI/CD for a large monorepo maintained by a relatively small team.

We use feature branch deployments, so we trigger a lot of builds.

Our current GitHub bill is $90/month, this would add an additional $700/month. I don't see how this doesn't cause a mass outflux.

We'd be at roughly $700/month at current usage.

Wow, just plain 500s on customer sites. That's a level of down you don't see that often.
