Yes but once the json has been validated once at runtime, you know it's safe for the rest of your program to use. Whereas in a dynamic language (even an immutable one), your data could be mutated during program runtime and no longer co

It highly depends on the price of the product you’re selling. If you’re selling 2.99 monthly subscriptions, then Stripe is eating ~13% of your revenue (30c + 2.9%). Or ~$6k per month in the grandparent commenter’s case ($30k in your case).

Pity it crashes for me 100% of the time when opening on an older iPhone. Haven't been able to receive my messages for over 2 months - which is insane for a messaging app (I'm not even sure if I'll receive the messages if&#x2

Welcome to the internet, you must be new here :) Jokes aside, there are at least a few suspicious looking responses on that doc relating to Epstein like "Job Duties: Covering up Epstein's crimes to protect the Clintons". So t

Regarding model properties - there’s a standard documentation syntax that can be used to document that and give you autocomplete in your IDE (Laravel IDE helper can also auto generate these for you). Not ideal - since it’s not enforced in a

From their open job positions - it looks like the Android app is indeed native (mostly Kotlin + heavy use of RxJava). And only iOS + web (+ desktop?) are mentioned in the post. I'd imagine the reason they didn't use RN on Android

In the UK, if you want to close a company you must do the same (pay ~£300 to post notice in a paper that your company is closing). I think the idea is that anyone who the company owes money to can file a claim before any remaining funds are

Technically there aren't any compulsory NI contributions below a minimum threshold (~£8k per year). Obviously you're going to hit that if you're paying employees, but for companies with multiple directors/founders - they

Whoops - yeah sorry, the "bottled" in that sentence is a mistake. It was late :) Fully agree with your comment!

He did say that he thinks the idea that bottled water is a human right is “extreme”, and that he doesn’t believe it should be. Full quote: > “Water is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It’s a questio

Google Play is arguably as bad - just in different ways. At least an actual human reviews your apps at Apple, and they do sometimes point out specific-ish information. At Google, since it's all bots, a random algorithm change can remov

Don’t forget Kotlin, Swift and Typescript! Possibly the most popular 3 of the lot! They don’t break the mould quite like the ones you’ve mentioned, but they’re still a big improvement for day to day stuff!

This is one of the concerns we have with SCA. By the nature of the additional authentication steps, they are necessarily hosted off-site in some situations. Is this a necessity though? Couldn't they just enter the 2FA code in the sa

I quite like Stripe - but them forcing the recent switch to Checkout V2 has me a bit miffed. Previously it was super simple to add dynamic card payments to a site - just drop the JS in, make a call to your server and then call Stripe from y

Although if your app is removed from Google Play, they'll happily still display AdMob ads in your app while telling you that you can't collect the earnings because your app was removed from Google Play.

Not to minimize his suffering, but spending ~3 years out of his 92 year life being tortured isn't the same as a whole life of torture with no meaning or hope of escape.

Too precise I think - you can have multiple GPS coordinates for one address e.g. 2.00000000001 and 2.00000000002 could both be on the same building. Even a bounding box is too error prone. Also, verticality would be an issue.

Same position here - going on 2 years now. Did you ever get a diagnosis? The current theory of my doctor is that it’s a brachial plexus injury - just waiting on some MRI results to confirm.

React Native isn't a web wrapper. It uses a Javascript engine to render native iOS/Android components (unlike Flutter, which doesn't use native components, and instead renders everything from scratch).

If you truly believe that these will net-dehydrate you, it should be pretty easy to prove - just survive for 1 week drinking only soda/juice/coffee. If you die of dehydration, we'll admit you were right :)

Indeed, but it’s not hard to imagine that a service would exist to temporarily lend you that money for a percentage of the wallet value. And assuming the company is credible, you’d probably be happy to get 90% of that BTC back rather than n

Anecdotally - I find Laravel to be a much more pleasant experience than Rails (from someone who uses both daily, but has been using Laravel for much longer). Can you point out where you think the experience in Rails is better? Maybe I&#x2

Interesting thought experiment: if you think of the military as a business - then you’re basically advocating for the US to have a monopoly on military power.

That’s exactly how it works - but this service itself is throttled. And, in Android 9, “App Buckets” will increase/decrease throttling depending on your usage of the app. For example, an app that you don’t open regularly, but do want r
