Insurance is always up to a certain amount. In the Netherlands the government-provided insurance insures up to €100k per account holder.

People would have a problem if they already have €120k tied up in a contract, such as a house purchase.

It would be a big problem if the lost money was intended for their pension.

Hi, great that you looked at it, unfortunately it doesn't work for me yet. I made a video. Good examples are at 3 seconds in (video starts playing) and 16 seconds in (I end up at the FTL website instead of the menu option). Halfway the video you can see that the Communities button doesn't work at that moment in time (earlier it did). Good luck! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-CVVxIicNqQJ8iz9EP0nBlroPAs...

Just wanted to let you know that the qbix.com website navigation doesn't work, at least for me on mobile Firefox. Clicks sometimes open the submenu, but usually not. Clicks on the submenu don't work (they always seem go to the content in the background) and clicks on the main menu items usually don't work either.

Apparently *.run.app domains are using something called Google Hosted, and that is how a Google 404 page came up.

The previous submission has some interesting discussions as to what behaviour might lead to this situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37403566

The connection to the update server must be secured, but it might not be using SSL the way connections to websites normally do. Perhaps the local install has not been updated in a while, so neither have the details about the server certificate. Then the local install might not accept the update server's certificate because the expected details don't match.

I have occasionally seen this type of construction when doing integrations.

> Everything should be a drop-in replacement

It isn't at all, in my opinion. Consider the introduction of the module system, for example.

Some libraries moved out of the core language.

One reason is that someone else's platform means you don't have full control over presentation and discoverability.

Also, at some point in their existence each platform start to decline. People move to the next platform and lose some of their readers. A few years later the same thing happens again, and readership is reduced again.

Personally I have had a lot of fun adding random bits to my website such as small tools, some explorations on creative expression with CSS and things like that.

I see what you mean, but at the same time it worked okay on my "generate markdown toc" script after removing all comments. I'm surprised that it did so well.

The initial paragraph is wrong though. It takes markdown headings as input, it doesn't generate markdown headings. This confusion makes it a lot less trustworthy.

Is that the kind of flaw you were pointing out?

Maybe it is coming now instead of earlier not because of a clear choice, but because to get features in to the project people need to spend their own free time on creating them.

Thank you Klemens Nanni and others for taking the time.

I don't understand why it is implied that Java is slow. A running JVM is not slow.

A "monstrosity" as you put it could have been written in any language.

I do think that you are overthinking it.

That mouse is not shaped to the right hand. There is no reason to assign significance to it in my opinion.

I always look at adages like these as something to keep in mind for the future. We can choose the simplest thing now and make it easy to swap it out for the more correct and more time-consuming thing later.

Sometimes the difficulty in distinguishing what the simplest thing could be comes from being in a group setting where people have equal say in the matter.

I think everyone has personal anecdotes to support the idea of doing the simplest thing suitable for that moment. But how to convince the group? I'm not sure, I don't always succeed.

A situation where I did do just the simplest thing is when I was asked to use project management software and a build server for a very early stage project with only myself as a developer. I declined. Instead I made a script to compile and package everything and emailed that to the others. We used an instant messenger for communication. It worked great for the early stage when the focus is on the MVP, though the project didn't go anywhere due to business reasons.

It will always still be possible to use the project management software and build server later. But it wasn't necessary at the very start.

I think we can't avoid all difficulty, and the difficulty then becomes determining exactly which bits we do need.

But it is a nice counter to some people's decisions to go for overly complex or risky (unproven?) technologies or designs.

URL navigation has been mentioned before, but I want to go in to a bit more detail.

This application needs client-side navigation. That is a two-way system. When a different object has been opened, the URL needs to be changed. For example we open game 1, the URL becomes /#/game/1/overview. Then when someone links to that URL directly the client-side router determines that they want to load that specific data and show it in the correct component, and hide the others.

I also think that every element that loads a different component should be a hyperlink, that way it becomes possible to open multiple interesting games from a list, each in a new tab.

Do you mean a script like Lontara? That would be interesting indeed.

I am interested in Lontara and Bugis resources in general, if someone has something they would like to share.

Perhaps people should kept at a distance. It happened before with a ball of his:

If we agree that it isn't alive, then what do people mean when they talk about it "escaping"?

If we continue your virus analogy then we probably agree that the virus has been released already. Though hosted versions might still be taken offline.

It is not alive. It is doing a fancy form of copy+paste.

My recent Maestro debit card issued by a Dutch bank didn't work "as a credit card" a few months ago.

I can't find information on debit cards being accepted in place of credit cards, does anyone know a useful search term for that?

FYI, there are recent improvements.

From his comment it sounds like he does jobs driving commercial vehicles (such as trucks or passenger transport). I got this from the mention of a "CDL", commercial driving license.

> The first few years of your mortgage, you aren't gaining much of any equity. It's nearly all interest payments.

It might not have to be that way.

Where I live we have the linear mortgage. Every month I pay a constant amount back on the principal, and a variable amount of interest on the remaining principal. At the end of the mortgage (30 years here) it is all paid off. With this type of mortgage we pay the lowest overall amount of interest.

Because the monthly payment goes down each month, the first payment is the highest. As a result some people choose to get a different type of mortgage instead, even though the linear type costs the least in the end.

Bitwarden, Keypass and 1password seem to be some of the most popular ones.

Ah thanks, I see what you mean. By zooming out I do get the whole word in view on my phone.

Glad to hear that it helps.

I have a simple visualisation for box breathing:

One can tap/click the bottom of the screen to show a counter, the top to hide it again. It only uses CSS.

Glad that you liked it. I like the "get a random page" function on your blog.
