Because the incentive is now there. Maybe they don't get enough paid customers and want more money. This puts a bit of pressure to move a new feature that is really handy into the paid level. Then another and another. Might not happen but it could.

Most people using Datastar will not necessarily be smart enough to fork it and add their own changes. And when Datastar makes a new release of the base/free code people will want to keep up to date. That means individuals have to figure out how to integrate their already done changes into the new code and keep that going. It's not a matter of if something breaks your custom code but when.

Finally, many people internalize time as money with projects like this. They're spending many hours learning to use the framework. They don't want to have the effort made useless when something (ex: costs or features) changes outside of their control. Their time learning to use the code is what they "paid" for the software. Doesn't matter if it's rational to you if it is to them.


It looks like fennel and janet are from the same dev.


Interestingly, this didn't work for Jetbrains. They found people often skipped a year and decided they wanted the "missing" revenue. There answer is to sell the version you "own" as of the date they process your order. You're allowed a full year of updates. However, if you don't continue the subscription then your version automatically rolls back to the version as of your purchase. You lose all the fixes and updates you've been using during the year.


> Too much overhead figuring out the good products ...

How does changing stores help. If the products are still the same but on Walmart, how are you getting better information?


If you order from Walmart and limit it to what is in their actual store then you know at least some human vetted it as safe for sale in the US. Walmart also lets 3rd party sellers on their website and yes most of that is drop shipped junk just like amazon.



How about Lit? I'm just looking at frameworks, components, etc. I was thinking of Lit as simplified web components? Is that valid?


Try Hack. I've tried many including Jetbrains Mono and Fira Code. Both are really good but I drifted back to Hack. It just hits a comfortable place for me.


Good suggestion. I like it a lot, but the Regular weight is still too bold for my taste. I'm using JetBrains Mono ExtraLight right now, so I just wish Hack had a couple lighter-weight options to try out.


Maybe I just need more time getting used to them, but I just tried installing JetBrains Mono and Hack and switched between them + Fira Code a bunch and I still prefer Fira Code.


I think it was the Go Marketing Team who decided to call it a boring language. "Boring" tested well for hyping the language.


True for the early days of Go but I don't know about now. I think the switch started happening right after modules came out. Generics and the new range stuff seem more for the sake of growing the language than specific needs in Google.

Holy crap no. Take a look at the amount of sodium in Better than Bouillon. Way more than any other type of stock like product. You can get the rip-off box stock with no sodium added in all three flavors.


I think you misunderstand how I use stock. I use a teaspoon or two of BtB for an entire dish to help build a sauce or otherwise season. So I am using it for its salt content entirely - as in, I salt the dish less because I account for that.

It's 30% the recommended salt in a single teaspoon. That's like a big pinch of kosher salt. So really, it's like 3-5% per serving because I get 6-8 servings out of my dishes. right.
