Where does one go for a trustworthy pentest or security review? Especially, where do smaller companies perhaps go that aren't at the multi-million level.

I have been trying to find an equivalent for `tracing` first in Python and this week in TypeScript/JavaScript. At my work I created an internal post called "Better Python Logging? Tracing for Python?" that basically asks this question. OpenTelemetry was also what I looked at and since I have looked at other tooling.

It is hard to explain how convenient `tracing` is in Rust and why I sorely miss it elsewhere. The simple part of adding context to logs can be solved in a myriad of ways, yet all boil down to a similar "span-like" approach. I'm very interested in helping bring what `tracing` offers to other programming communities.

It very likely is worth having some people from the space involved, possibly from the tracing crate itself.

> Can I downgrade from Plus to Standard?

> Yes. To downgrade you must first make sure that your account meets the constraints of the Standard plan — meaning that you have only 1 remote vault with less than 1 GB used.

Based on how other subscriptions do this: "downgrading means downgrading at the end of your subscription or on renewal". Is this not a bit unfair? Users (me included) have already paid for the full subscription and even if one decides to downgrade, content is being taken away that was already paid for. I wanted to move down to the standard plan because I am not using it fully using and now changed to the standard plan thinking I'd keep plus at least until the end of what I've already paid for. Though that's not the case and now my pro subscription for the remainder of the time period was taken away.

Can this stance be changed so existing users can either double the remaining time or keep pro for the remaining time and downgrade once the paid for period is over?

Is it possible to introduce a trial? I'd want to make sure that the features work as described and am curious how smooth this works when not using your Macbook often. Like whether it will sync them in the background when the laptop is closed. Should I simply buy and go for a refund via Apple if it doesn't work out? Though I feel like this might be worse for you.

Tried it out just now as a free user and it synced thousands of completed reminders as `- [x] ...` for each. It's hard to make the jump to pay for this when I cannot test it out fully.

I wonder whether it's achievable to have a plugin system similar to how web extensions work where you could write a plugin and have it work across different editors. I see how getting people to move to this editor might depend on people moving over once a sufficient amount of their current editor's features are supported, some of which might be contributed by extensions.

I've always been interested in these fintech APIs but wonder what competitive advantages the companies that build on this have compared to one another. What differentiates a company building on this from another company building on the same API? It seems like the execution would differentiate them the most? I feel like I am missing something here. Could someone enlighten me?

That is a very pessimistic way to view and discredit someone else's great achievement. I can definitely say that at least in Belgium, it is very possible to do this as a middle class family. Also to note that there are still sponsors who do help out as well.

Focusing on the important part again, hugely proud to see Belgium represented like this and to see the ambition of Zara.

I don't think this is as impressive as they think it is. On the contrary, this seems to be a very very small number that I wonder why it's mentioned in the first place. I don't use these GUI frontends, but if we ever want any Linux distro to be more user-friendly. Almost everything should be available.

Also I noticed that Elementary is taking a 30% cut (with a 50c minimum) which I find obnoxiously high. We have been complaining about Apple and Google, yet "we"(?) cannot seem to be doing better ourselves. It's a bit disappointing.
