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.

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

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.

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.

I did this about 1-1/2 years ago and just reran the numbers.

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.

Oh, hi. Didn't see you there. Welcome to the web.

Nobody but you is suggesting we protect the rights of pedophiles. This argument is going where it always goes ... as the author pointed out. There are bad people in the world. They make up a small percentage of the population. You don't change society as a whole based on the behavior of these bad people. You do what is reasonable and within your ability. Did you even read article? By your logic would you allow the Catholic church to exist? They were literally protecting pedophiles for years.

To spin the wheels. People still get paid and the economy keeps humming along. No profit doesn't mean people aren't making money, just that the company isn't making excess money.
