I'm fine :) just taking a much needed break from software

Compared to Elastic's Cloud offering Apex Logs would be roughly half the cost. I forgot to mention in the post that it's 100% serverless, so there's nothing to maintain and no need to resize clusters as you grow.

Kibana definitely has the edge right now when it comes to charting, but I would say if you're just looking for a simple and clean logging solution Apex Logs would be a nicer experience. If you try it out definitely let me know if you have any feedback!

It’s an app for users of the service. The Netflix app is useless without a subscription, too.

It's like if an university released an app for it's student body, they were forced to allow anybody to sign up to the university with Apple pay. And give Apple 30% of the tuition.

Except Apple specifically exempts real world services, because they agree. That'd be insane.

How is email not a real world service. What even is a non-real world service?

Digital goods are not real world services. Labor, food, physical products, etc. are considered "real world services" according to Apple's language.

College is "digital goods" these days.

I’ll buy that (ironically) when they make iCloud free.

… that does not follow. Apple's definitions aren't based on whether a good is free. It's based on whether the service is delivered without real-world interaction by the user.

Tuition at a brick-and-mortar college? No cut.

On-demand video service with tutorials? They get a cut.

I’m zeroing in on the “real” here. Email is an indispensable service, just like paying tuition. The idea that “it’s on the internet so it doesn’t count” is... farcical coming from the biggest tech company (or one of the largest browser vendors, whichever seems more relevant) ever.

Apple won't let them ask users to visit their website to pay or enter their CC details in-app without giving Apple a 30% cut.

yeah absolutely nothing new here

Congratulations. You all missed the point entirely.

How so? It's just a basic marketing site, nothing newsworthy at all

They've been doing this for ages, it's nothing new haha

I'm good, I like to actually have data when a customer reports an issue... or you know, figure out why a system fails haha.

Also, Sentry is logging, it just groups by a fingerprint.

Personally I think css utils are better suited for layout related stuff, acting more like layout primitives (hbox, vbox) etc since those tend to be pretty ad-hoc.

As far as concrete UI components go, I'm not sure this technique is any better, especially since you often need pretty ad-hoc styling with pseudos etc.

I think if CSS had built-in mixin support you could have the best of both worlds pretty easily, still crossing my fingers we get that some day, would be nice to drop all these build systems.

Or just don’t be a huge noob and create a real business, without privileged funding.

Facebook pays for this kind of stuff? Why not spend the time incorporating a decent language instead of trying to fix the fragmented hot mess that is js

They've already done exactly that in other quarters of Facebook towers: ReasonML

The same reason they still use PHP via Hack.

Throwing all the baby out with the bath water is something engineers consistently overvalue in business when there are other middleground trade-offs to choose from.

I suppose it depends, but throwing out node and migrating everything to Go was one of the better choices we made at Segment, before the platform grew too large.

Old habits die hard. Not many people are interested in learning new languages

There's inherent value in supporting something with money though, it's likely to actually stick around and improve, rather than some hacky OSS project that will die in a few months.
