    I’m not Indian but went to India to support a friend getting married. They had five different events (that we were invited too, more that we weren’t), each with their own set of rituals and customs. One where you just put turmeric and spices on the grooms face!

    And the ceremony she went to seemed different from any of those five! She could/should have obviously asked her fiancée but it’s really not so easy in Indian culture specifically to be prepared for everything you’re about to go through.









  • I think it’s two reasons - first is that human readable formats are less specific, so three files that are “3gb” in size look the same, so it may be hiding information that it knows about

    The second is that commands are very often used as parts of larger scripts, where human readability may not matter as much, or may not be applicable until the very last command when the output is actually shown.

    Between these, and the fact that most commands try not to predict what your use case is, I think that having a -h option is going to be the norm going forward as well rather than having it as the default

    The discount in price is the only benefit of the two year plan from what I saw. They can offer this discount because they can get the lump sum of money in one go. This is the idea of the time value of money, a lump sum now is greater than an equal amount later.

    It makes little sense to offer a month to month plan at the same price with a contract in place, because now there’s the overhead of the contract on top of everything else.

    So your best option is likely to stick with the month to month price, unfortunately.
