apologies, meant to add that as a link when I referenced Stripe in the first sentence!

You're correct in your assumption you'd need to generate methods, from my quick investigation into how Sorbet handles it - see https://github.com/chanzuckerberg/sorbet-rails for some details.

Didn't realize Square was interested in Ruby type checking, just like their competitors over at Stripe. Lots of money riding on Ruby, I guess :) It does seem useful to have a _standard_ for type definitions - RBS as the equivalent to a

Many apps nowadays use phone numbers for verifying new accounts. Obviously, it is far from impossible for a malicious user to get a new phone number if they care enough, but it does usually have a monetary cost, which will keep a significan

Looks like a competitor to Retool, interesting. The focus on data permissions, mobile support, and push notifications is really interesting because none of those features are ones that Retool focuses on, I believe - those features being fro

This is a blog post I've been putting off writing for a while; I'll try to tl;dr it best I can given it's somewhat off-topic: * TypeScript's lack of runtime types and stable reflection APIs make it hard to have any guara

Is there any recent rundown on the state of server-side Swift in general? I know there was a lot of discussion when IBM stopped working on it back in January. At the broadest level, I wonder what the footprint of Swift at runtime is, both i

note to mods: I know there is an existing article on the front page about Trump's reaction to the fact check, but I think the specific target of Twitter's head of site integrity is a significant development worthy of a new post, i

I built a tiny, kinda crappy multiplayer web game a few years ago ( https://manygolf.club/ ), and while it's mostly dead now, it was relatively popular with 5-15 active players at any time for a few months (I know, small

This is fantastic! Is it open source, by any chance? I'd love to see how you implemented the scanline filters and particle effects. I've been juuust dipping my toe into 3D games with a little spline generator I'm hoping to ma

Curious - is your team using GDScript, C#, or C++ primarily? It seems like GDScript is still the happy path for compatibility, but I have mixed feelings about it as a language (though I've written enough Python to be relatively product

This is kinda weird, because I was happily giving them $4/month after running out of space in their trial plan, and now I absolutely have no reason to keep giving them money. Which, sure, I guess I'll take it. My $4/month isn

I'm personally quite excited about this. Been experimenting with WSL2 on my desktop lately, trying to figure out if I could port over my existing dev workflow from Mac. One stumbling block I had was that I've been writing servers

The site is weirdly ambiguous about this but: I am assuming by "offline-first" they mean that the "full-text history capture" never leaves my device, right? Or does it get synced optionally? Or only synced to other devic

The problems with the Go 2 that I've seen in reviews are: * The base model has a woefully underpowered Pentium CPU * The upgrade model has a more reasonable but still not great m3 that seems like it'd be a tad too underpowered for

Context is interesting here: uBlock Origin is one of the few extensions available in "Firefox Preview," the new Firefox app for Android. The app is somewhat controversial for breaking existing extensions, but they have been slowly

Well, it's worth noting Unity doesn't have royalties - you just pay per seat on a monthly cost, and it's free indefinitely* if you make/raise less than $100k a year. * (this also means no official support and a few mis

Yeah, I suspect this is one of those things where when you Google it, people are mostly like "why would you ever need pooling in JS," but then it turns out pooling is used under the hood in a lot of game frameworks. I know Ecsy[1]

I'm not actually sure requestAnimationFrame() in a browser ever gets you >60 fps. At that point, honestly, you'd probably need an independent render thread (doing some degree of interpolation) and stick to a 60fps logic tick. W

I was looking at EnTT's API when building a little toy ECS of my own in JavaScript. Since I'm working in JS, I haven't really tried to copy its internal architecture since it doesn't quite make sense for a higher-level G

Does extendRoutes ( https://nuxtjs.org/api/configuration-router#extendroutes ) not work for y'all? I haven't had to use it (yet) but I was happy to see an escape hatch, though I could imagine it not scaling ver

I'm pretty happy with Nuxt. I built a project with a custom SSR server based on Vue's guide ( https://ssr.vuejs.org/ ), and maintaining it/tweaking it wasn't too bad, but moving all that complexity to Nuxt

Fair question! Different folks get different things out of it. Personally, I got into it a few years ago since I have some friends who are into it. It drew me in with all the spectacle, and kept me in with how compelling the long-term story

As probably one of the bigger wrestling fans on HN, I feel obliged to point out that WWE is doing very poorly even though it's just about the only live sport-like product left on TV: https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news

I liked v1 a whole lot. I'm interested in v2, though I'm extremely skeptical of the additional complexity of the config adapter layer ( https://caddyserver.com/docs/config-adapters ) - I'm more or less so

Huh, I thought it already had this! Must have mixed it up with a different object storage service (maybe DigitalOcean?). I've been using B2 for backup storage for some personal projects. It doesn't necessarily do anything "be

You'll find a $16 doner in the comically overpriced food court in City Point, or a $15 currywurst at a place Chelsea Market. This is, of course, a comically grim state of affairs compared to the 4 euro doner or currywurst you can get i

Ah, neat! Works out well for them; I assume it's relatively cheap to just serve an S3 bucket on their CDN (though I guess bandwidth costs may rise rather dramatically if Rust ever reaches Node levels of popularity), while not taking on
