Unfortunately SES servers seem to be regularly blacklisted. A quick google confirms. I've been using SES for 3-4 months now and had a few hard bounces with specific mention to the IP being banned.

I'm coming from Rails (7 years) and am now looking at Spring Boot - I've also experimented with Scala and Play, Scalatra, Sinatra, Go, .Net MVC, Elixir/Phoenix. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far from Spring b

Id take a few weeks for yourself, then find a 6 month contract. That'll get you back on your feet again professionally and financially. Depending on how the contract rates are in your area, you should then have a small runway again to

This is an argument against your programming workflow rather than C# itself, it just so happens that in this case you can't edit the DLL to save yourself from your own bad practices. There is no reason not to use C# in your article. It

The most damaging part to me is that "All good! Everything is running great." message on the status page. Mistakes happen, services go down, I can get over that. What matters is how its dealt with. At the moment I would not want t

How do I get this from the UK? I've been looking for an app just like it and this looks really nice. Is it only on the US app store at the moment? (is that a thing?) Edit: found it but doesn't seem to be on the iPad app store even

Sketch is more of a replacement for Fireworks than Photoshop, as in its purely a vector design tool and therefore much better suited to web design. I never really understood why so many people used Photoshop for that task. If you're lo

Scala School is probably a good starting point: http://twitter.github.io/scala_school/ As for books you may want to check out Scala for the Impatient and Programming in Scala.

There's definitely parts of any language I feel I'll probably never understand, at least under the requirements of what I need to get done in my day to day work. With Scala though that percentage was much higher, and the code that

After several months playing with Scala I felt much the same, with other languages I use regularly such as C# or Ruby I could look into any libraries I use and understand the code, make changes if required etc. With Scala I felt like the le

Sounds like you may benefit from an NDA with a non-compete clause. These will give you a contract stating that your co-founder will keep your code secret and not use it to compete against you if the relationship turns sour in the future. Li

A couple of years ago I spent a weekend making this: http://imgur.com/a/Kp35g I don't claim to be brilliant with carpentry so it was a mixed success, but you can adjust between a sit down and stand up desk, it cost about £50 all in. I'm n

Looks very nice, I'm glad there's some movement in this space lately. Ran into a bug though, if you insert a table then return twice after it, all content below the table is removed..

It looks like they've now changed their pricing page to remove the similarities. I didn't see it before but certainly at least the boxes around packages are gone and the buttons have been changed. [edit] Found an image of how it looked here

If we are able to provide some blurb on the form then it can probably be explained adequately to alleviate any of the customers concerns, on the other hand if they just see a form asking for authorisation to take an amount over their standa

Id guess so yes but also market reach. I have a UK business and currently our customers are manually transferring money to us every quarter because I couldn't find a simple, easy and cost effective way to retrieve payments. I hadn't come ac

When your customers money and your businesses reputation are at stake trust is a huge issue. The website doesn't look great and gives hardly any information on the services. I'm sure if they smartened up their website and offered a REST API

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. So id have to get the customer to agree to authorise an amount larger than their current subscription fee so that it has scope to cover upgrades and extra services - something doesn't quite feel ri

You're right, I've let that go straight over my head. It's the same deal though at the end of the day, as a business I want to take payments from my customers without hassling them to make manual transfers. So an id for cc details is the sa

Doesn't look like you can make payment requests via the API without sending the card owner to the gocardless site first. Our need is to be able to take a customers card details, store it with a provider (and get an auth code) and then bill
