A single, non-discounted, one-way train ride between the two biggest cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, costs €20,20.

The promotional price of this subscription is only a few euros more expensive than the existing unlimited subscription for weekend train travel (i.e. 6:30 PM Friday to 4:00 AM Monday), which costs €39,50. You can pay €4 extra for a 40% discount the rest of the off-peak hours.

With that discount, my commute (Haarlem <=> Amsterdam) costs €3,30 each way. A single trip to work a month makes the promotional subscription better value.

Your example produces very distinguishable results. e.g. if Array.first finds a nil value it returns Optional<Type?>.some(.none), and if it doesn't find any value it returns Optional<Type?>.none

The two are not equal, and only the second one evaluates to true when compared to a naked nil.

I assume they mean the profits in the past couple years are dwarfed by the losses that came before. Looking at the company's entire history, instead of a single FY.

They expire in 24 hours

8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 2 hours of regular daily tasks. That leaves 6 usable hours.

What would you use them for?

Nothing, probably let them expire.

How would you maximize the return from the AI credits?

Given the time constraints, the expected result is nil with some stress as a bonus. By doing nothing, I achieve a local maximum of nil with no stress.

Would you use them for charitable uses?

This sounds interesting. Is there any charitable organization that could benefit from receiving some credits that need to be used ASAP?

node -e "process.stdout.write('@'.repeat(128 * 1024)); process.stdout.write(''); process.exit(0);" | wc -c

That's missing the part where it waits for the last write to flush before exiting.

I doubt iOS 17 will be adopted faster than previous versions. For one, they are dropping support for multiple device generations this time.

“+33c per transaction”

For a B2B SaaS this likely represents a minuscule percentage of the revenue. For a $5/month subscription, this fee alone is more than 6%

They were, and still are viable devices to some people. I only upgraded from a 128gb mbp and a 16gb iphone this year, after using them for 7 and 6 years respectively. Storage was never an issue with the laptop, and only became a problem with the iphone in the last couple of years.

Most subscriptions here are paid via direct debit, which the app detects and groups under a "fixed expenses and subscriptions" category. If the charge is considered a subscription, they let you fill a generic form with some details about yourself (i.e. Address, Email, Phone, CustomerID ...) to request it be cancelled.

I reckon the bank(s) requires payment providers to handle this as part of the integration for recurrent debit authorizations.

I don't know the details behind it, but I can already cancel all of my subscriptions through an app (Grip) my Dutch bank (ABN AMRO) provides

I don´t think it applies to content served from the App Platform CDN (Cloudflare), but egress from origin is 10¢/GB after the included bandwidth is exceeded. Excess egress from Spaces or Droplets is much cheaper at 1¢/GB, and they are more generous with the included amount.

One thing to worry about with DO App Platform is egress costs. They charge more than AWS!!
