I know - we're working on adding Self-Serve sign up for non-enterprise deals.

But regarding our pricing - I can point you at an actual testimonial https://www.g2.com/products/pspdfkit-sdk/reviews/pspdfkit-sd...

These pricing structures can be complex and NEED to be understood fully before moving forward with purchase. However, out of all of the solutions that I reviewed, [Nutrient] was the one that walked me through their pricing the best and didn't make me feel like I was going to get fleeced.

Nutrient.io Co-Founder here: We’ve been doing PDF for over 10y. PDF Viewers like Web browsers have to be liberal in what they accept, because PDF has been around for so long, and like with HTML ppl generating files often just iterate until they have something that displays correctly in the one viewer they are testing with.

That’s why we built our AI Document Processing SDK (for PDF files) - basically a REST API service, PDF in, structured data in JSON out. With the experience we have in pre-/post-processing all kinds of PDF files on a structural not just visual basis, we can beat purely vision based approaches on cost/performance: https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/ai-document-processing

If you don’t want to suffer the pain of having to deal with figuring this out yourself and instead focus on your actual use case, that’s where we come in.

One that I've repeatedly gone back to over the years is paginated rich text editing. It's simply impossible to do with contenteditable in a product level way - one of the reasons Google docs has a custom layout engine.

As do we at Nutrient, we use Harfbuzz in WASM plus our own layouting - see the demo here: https://document-authoring-demo.nutrient.io/

Getting APIs for that into the Platform would make life significantly easier, but thanks to WASM it’s not a total showstopper.

Btw, I saw you’re working on sync at ElectricSQL - say hi to Oleksii :)

All it's missing is a constraint solver

Did you try the ones from https://getwellue.com/? In my informal testing against “medical-grade” SPO2 monitors they were accurate and they record all night long.

I like that, but then what is a senior engineer?

Been playing with this for a while now while it was still in alpha, and I must say I am super excited where this will go. It's a great writing experience, with powerful tooling, especially for use cases like e.g. the legal profession that goes through many revisions.

In your example, how can the compiler (or a human) know that int is a concrete type as opposed to an unconstrained type variable?

Consider these two function signatures:

map :: ([a] -> [a])

map :: ([int] -> [int])

Furthermore the syntax that Elixir uses here let's you do something like

map :: (list(a) -> list(b))

list_to_other_data_structure :: (list(a) -> other_data_structure(a))

It all reminds me a bit of how Haskell does it https://medium.com/functional/haskell-basic-types-and-type-v...

I'm now curious to know if/how the above 'generics' would be expressed in TypeScript/Python/Go without a similar 'type constructor' syntax construct?

Hey Max, I think your offering is amazing but it might be built for the world of yesterday: Since starting this weekend apparently all deposits are 100% insured, why would I go to Mercury to take advantage of sweeps or a money market fund, when my bank offers me slightly higher rates for uninsured-but-insured-in-practice deposits?

When I looked at Python vs Ruby many years ago, I found the opposite: Why does Python have (special) functions like len() and map(), instead of 'properly' supporting both OOP (len should just be a method on objects) and/or FP (support multi-line lambdas so I can actually use map/filter etc).

I never understood how this can be considered consistent at all, and those IMHO language design warts made me look into Ruby at the time.

Has this improved since? I know print was changed in Python3 to make it not-special.

Love how we're realizing that .hta was actually incredible. I have fond memories of building my own https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_Application

asdf + direnv is how I avoid the performance hit of the shims completely. For me that's the sweetspot of developer ergonomics, performance and reproducibility of the dev env.

PSPDFKit CTO here. TL;DR on the PDFex vulnerability: The file format can carry both encrypted and unencrypted parts, which allows "injecting" malicious payload (embedded JavaScript, PDF forms that submit to remote URLs, etc) into an encrypted PDF that then can be used to exfiltrate the encrypted PDF parts, after the user decrypted the file (= entered the password).

We're currently investigating the vulnerability in detail and plan to ship an update ASAP that will allow our customers to mitigate it.

I'll be monitoring this thread to answer any questions.

If you think Vienna's air is clean, you didn't measure during winter and/or during an inversion. You absolutely need air purifiers.

It's a very interesting checklist, but I wonder if there's (m)any startups that make it to due diligence and then fail to (literally) check the right boxes.
