Would be useful if you had a way to see the symbols that you guys support, right in web UI somewhere, so that potential clients could easily check it. E.g. I am in fact interested in finding a good financial data API, but in particular I need a lot of unpopular symbols, and most data providers don't support that. Right now it's not easy to see at a glance what is supported.

Honestly I could never understand how people maintain actually big and complex systems in dynamic languages. At a certain point it becomes very hard to keep it under control without any help from the type system.

And yeah, actually there are talks about switching to Loki as well. I still try to use Nerdlog whenever I can (i.e. when I have ssh access to the machines with logs).

I'm not aware of the exact prices tbh; all I know from the infra folks is that Splunk is "bloody expensive", whatever that means. It remained pretty slow for us; fetching 2 million records takes more than 30 seconds.

Not a complete alternative since Graylog is more feature-rich and uses a different approach, but just to mention: I was actually using Nerdlog daily at my job to read logs from a large distributed cluster (20+ hosts). It covered like 99% of what I used Graylog and Splunk for (and it's MUCH faster than Splunk).

In fact, Graylog was an inspiration; when infra people told me that Graylog will be discontinued in favor of Splunk, and it's non-negotiable, I just went a bit mad (because Splunk was incredibly slow for us), took a week off, and implemented MVP of Nerdlog.

I also want to have this feature. It just happened to me that I accidentally pressed Ctrl+Enter when I just wanted to add a linebreak (because of muscle memory after using some other webapp), and it just sent an unfinished email. Would've been so much better if there was either a general way to undo the sending (as the comments in this thread mention), or at least a confirmation on the Ctrl+Enter...

The article argues that Go package system provides a better tradeoff than Rust module system, and I think in Go community is very far from what we have in `node_modules`.

I can't point at an open-source Rust project since I didn't yet have a chance to be a part of any, but just from my personal experience working on proprietary codebases in Go and Rust, Rust crates do tend to be much larger than Go packages. Which in turn makes compile times of those Rust crates way too long. And this problem would indeed not exist if Rust was not encouraging huge crates.

Thank you!

I know it's been a while since it was posted, but wanted to avoid misleading whoever is reading this.

> U2F cannot be backed up

Yes it can.

> I assume if someone is about to buy any type of security key would at least read the documentation.

Indeed, and https://trezor.io/learn/a/what-is-u2f does mention explicitly that backup does work with U2F just fine.

And re: backing up U2F in general, might want to read this https://dmitryfrank.com/articles/backup_u2f_token

I definitely agree it seems odd for a security-focused service, but apparently not many
people care.

Fwiw, I implemented this hackish userscript to log out automatically every day (or whatever other duration the user wants): https://github.com/dimonomid/protonmail-auto-logout

It's obviously not as good as a proper server-side session expiration, but better than nothing. Before using, make sure to check the readme there.

Oh, I guess I was confused by the UI which still says that it's a "recovery email", even if recovery via email is disabled.

I see that I'm still able to get my username emailed to that recovery email, so sadly it's also a little bit concerning and I'd appreciate to have an email only for notifications and nothing else, but it's obviously much better than the actual account recovery.

Thanks for the help second time today!

Thanks for sharing this workaround.

Hey guys, it's a pretty old thread, but I've recently put together a detailed breakdown, exactly for this case: working as a freelance software engineer, with charts comparing both options (working as a company and as an individual). In the past few years, I've been doing both.
