It emphatically does not matter to Apple if the transactions are peer to peer or subject to fees or paid for with doge coin. Coinbase offers an app that allows users to purchase digital goods ("NFTs"). In order to purchase those d

Precisely. Strong Params is a canonical violation of DRY. When you build your form, you fill it with fields that are allowed to be filled out and submitted. Then you have to duplicate that work in the controller for no obvious benefit. As f

One of my devs recently pitched an idea to me that I can't stop thinking about. Strong Params requires you to enumerate all params on the server. But why couldn't you know what are valid params while building your form? You could

Unlimited PTO sucks for employees. It isn't the case in every state but some states, including mine, require employers to pay out PTO upon separation. So having unlimited automatically means you get paid out nothing on separation, a ba

I just listened to a freakonomics podcast episode on this topic where they pointed out that more people die of opioid overdose in the US alone every year than have died from the entire history of nuclear reactor incidents.

The person Carlsen accused of cheating has a documented and admitted history of it. Officials literally found weights inside the fish. Both of those are in this story.

Our position on this has always been that if a candidate finishes our sample coding task, they are automatically granted a tech interview. It's the least you can do for someone who put in the time toward your position.

I was ready to fire the agency the moment the author mentioned they were going off script and building whatever they wanted. This was a huge, blinking red flag for me. Why would you keep paying someone when they're doing work you didn&

This is addressed on the Buy Offsets page. Quoted because I thought the same thing as you: We never pay our partners more than the market price of new refrigerant, removing any possibility of a perverse incentive. And because we use w

I think the dots / temp gauge should be combined here. 1 dot / 2 dots / 3 dots. The temperature gauge is hard to tell how full/empty it is which the dots help with, and single dots make it difficult to remember whether l

A 30% emissions reduction is amazing, why would you use that argument? Gas engines will always use gas while electric motors can use any kind of electricity. Transferring generation from car to power plant is a fantastic plan. Economies of

Amen! As a FF fan in the 90s, I was so incredibly hyped about this movie. I remember it major getting press in gaming magazines and going to it with my cousin. I also fondly remember it as the only movie I've ever walked out of.

I'm assuming the dig at 1978 is a reference to vim or emacs? Can you maybe rework your copy to not shit on the main tools your target market uses and loves?

In the linked article, the author spends 1 sentence dealing with objections: > I can understand if JavaScript developers are afraid of TypeScript taking over their language. However, this proposal will be as far as things will go w.r.t.

Counterpoint: not everything on Github is software. The linked instructions use the phrasing "let them cite your work". You might use Github as a canonical source for, say, a data dump. Or really any kind of non-software informati

Definitely my experience. I had it as an adult at 26 and it absolutely knocked me out for weeks. I lost a ton of weight from having no appetite and having a constant sore throat. Sleeping was also terrible because I couldn't breathe ea
