The main product I work on has a specification that dictates the use of SOAP/XML. So I'm probably more familiar with SOAP than REST (by which I mean JSON/HTTP). Although I don't really delve deep into the RPC code when i

SOAP doesn't have anything like the restrictions rest has, does it?

I don't think it's a reply to just that comment. Seems like there are about as many articles on here about mediocre SaaSes as cool technical stuff. Of course, the site was made by a vc, so maybe it really is Monetize Everything Ne

Like what, "door dasher"? "uber driver"? The economy is developing in the wrong direction. We are not on track for happy automation.

Personally, I've given up on results quality. It ranges from bad (Google) to worse (Bing) to barely usable (DDG). Even if it's barely usable, I'm tired of the constant tracking and ads. Anyways, Google is already so full of S

The GSuite/Google Workspace UX on my pixel 4a has been awful. It's so painfully obvious that they do not care. Their customer service sucks too, they sold me an expensive screen protector that immediately got scratched to hell, th

This seems to be assuming the share price ends up at the same place. It's simply a question of whether the IPO should be priced lower or higher.

Usually when people talk about "complicated financial products" they mean some kind of derivative. Yes, you can cook the books. That doesn't make the product complex. It is fair to point out that some tech IPOs (We work comes

That's a great point, and when I think about it I can only remember using google docs. Even if I could have afforded excel (I'm sure they give it to students for free), google docs was way easier for working on a team. And nowaday

As another comment pointed out, FT has been covering the issue much more in depth. They've been covering Greensill and GPG since 2018. The two seem to have a... special... relationship. As far as I'm aware, it's more along th

Eh, executives seem pretty receptive to the idea of not cutting their own pay during uncertainty or a downturn[0]. My understanding is that retention bonuses are the norm during bankruptcy. Of course, I understand the reason for that. But t

I think this is backwards. The public at large are pretty honest that they don't know math. The world would be a much better place if they were able to do practical algebra, even if the higher truths of abstract mathematics never enter

They already had an incentive to increase it at the max, because it's more money in their pocket. For this to be true, they would have to either (1) under present conditions, not be raising the rent to maximize profit or (2) under the

I paid for GSuite, it sucked. Between GSuite and Fi, it was a constant battle of trying to get Google's own services to work with each other. I couldn't use voice assistant to set a reminder on my phone... I wish I had just gone w

How is the comment you replied to "thinking about it wrong"? It sounds like you simply disagree on the point in question (whether aggregators provide value, or leech it). And it seems like the parent comment makes a bulletproof ar

Serious question, how many of them even knew what the hell they signed up for? My experience with these companies is that they'll just walk door to door with a pen telling you to sign on the dotted line to save a bunch of money. I doub

I also hate electron apps, I refuse to install them on my personal machine, and use a(n independent) web browser. Efficient software is great, the cool parts of the projects I work on are efficient. In my case, the GUI doesn't need to

Actually it's the opposite. I know my users care more about cross platform support, or any other feature I could whip up, rather than 100MB HDD space.

"almost a non-issue" doesn't sound very convincing to me. As someone who doesn't write GUIs often, I just don't want to have to worry about it at all. What's the cost of electron over webviews? 100mb hdd space?
