As an aside, if you're curious about how you might be able to paint with such photorealism, be sure to check out "Tim's Vermeer".

Sam Altman (among others) is an investor in https://reserve.org/. Is that a scam?

Oh I loved Konq in the olden days. A single tabbed browser for both file system and web. Loved that thing. khtmlview was also an awesome browser component which I made use of in a few QT projects.

Worse than that. They charged a (yearly?) fee to get behind the paywall only to find out that the question had no answer!

The one I typically use with rude, demanding users is:

"Pull requests are always welcome :)"

This isn't really true unless you are equating the US with "the west".

There are many German and Dutch companies that make high-end pre-fabricated houses and walls that sell not only locally, but abroad.

Many factors contribute to the purchasing decisions of quality pre-fabricated housing materials, of which price is only one (and probably isn't even a factor at the high-end).

Don't know why this comment was downvoted. I was interested to read article but I couldn't because it was paywalled.

Article is paywalled

Thanks for the reply, flave.

Yeah, we have perhaps 4 quite different customer types [student, researcher, research group/lab and student classes/lab]. Currently we have a single lab tier which was designed for research groups but it seems a number of universities want to use that tier for their classes. We didn't expect this use-case and the "per seat" pricing in this tier doesn't work for this case.

We've run the numbers and generally the two lab based use-cases look like so:

Accounts used for research contain: - a low number of experiments - a high number of participants/results - long(er) "active" time per experiment

Accounts used for teaching: - a high number of experiments - a low number of participants/results - short(er) "active" time per experiment

The conclusion we've reached is that we need tiers based upon n experiments and n participants/results (with options to increase both). This would allow lab licensees to add/remove/transfer accounts at will.

I'd still be interested to hear from others who've moved from "per seat" to other metrics.

Hi, OP chiming in...

We've come to realization that we need to move away from "per seat" licensing.

Whilst metered pricing would seem to be the most balanced approach, there are too many general, and industry specific cons to make it workable.

Has anyone been in this position before? Can you tell us how you moved to a different pricing strategy? Did you end up making less per customer?

Any advice/anecdata would be great.

In all my years I've never seen a complete rewrite (i.e. a "cleanroom rewrite"), but I've seen many systems and subsystems evolve over time (usually in the same language) which eventually, one has to ask "is this the same software?".

Most software that's been around a long time is generally a Ship of Theseus.

So iconic in fact that it's the name of the annual IF awards AFAIR.

My partner and I did the same thing 10 years ago on $1 per day bicycles. There are numerous large and impressive ruins scattered all over Siem Reap and you get then all to yourself.

I really miss travel too.

Worse than being torn to shreds. Ignored.

Similarly, in Australia ABC kids (live and streaming on iView) has more content than any kid could ever consume in a lifetime.

I've been happy with DBVisualizer for a long time. Give it a try.

Year 4 checking in! No salary here.

I've been happy with Xubuntu for the last decade or so. For me, it's the right combination of lightweight and minimal DM, and easy to use package manager. On top of that tmux (via alacritty) and emacs and I'm good to go.

Apparently not enough karma to flag this comment. If I had enough, I'd flag it.

Do you also use other disorders as terms of abuse or do you just reserve that privilege for those who have ASD?

The same way many people have some problem with neighbourhood transparency by using curtains on their windows?

I can understand the down votes but it's an interesting question nonetheless. I'm a Firefox user, but my customers? 5%. I'm still surprised by this.

Illustrate an example of how programming a machine was revolutionary, such as the Jacquard loom or the Hollerith machine.

Indeed. These were the people that made an impression on me as a kid. I guess my question is, who currently has the ability to do the same (and can do so for whatever generation)?

On TV in the early to mid 80's these were people were able to create a sense of awe in millions of people with their intelligence and eloquence.

Who are the Feynmans, Sagans and Attenboroughs of our time?

I'll nominate Professor Brian Cox to start things off...

I haven't died in almost 4 years, so yeah, I guess I've got that bit covered!
