They don’t - I don’t want email with a receipt from every company I have an account with. Nor do I want appointment reminders, nor e-cards from every business I do business with. The right emails from the right people. Everything is spam i

What is inconsistent is that I consider some receipts spamº. As a matter of fact I consider A LOT of transactional mail spam. And under the test of "would I want to get a similar email" from all the companies I do business with,

by nmcfarl 13y ago
I don't think that's the right test - because it would mean i would get no emails at all. From some minority companies, I expect, and frankly demand, a monthly receipt for others I'd rather you didn't spam me with the th

One of the reviews of v1 mentions that it could be scripted in Lua which would be an awesome feature, however there seems to be no mention of it on this page. Additionally the review was unrelentingly negative about things that /seem&#

I had a very different experience with a similar start: a D in eighth-grade math – and then was stuck being incredibly bored in remedial math in 9th - when choosing classes for 10th I lied, and changed my class roster at submission time. My

I think this is the exact right question - without context hg advocacy makes little sense. And when I personally engage in mercurial advocacy it with an understanding that as you say, unless it's 500% better than git – which it is not

Or he has an open honest relationship with his boss where both parties respect each other enough that honesty is rewarded. Of course your interpretation is more likely.

I've had a significant number of USB drives, (and SD drives) get corrupted and simply stop working. This seems to happen with heavy use, but it also happens just sitting in a drawer untouched - for quite a bit of time. I'm not tru

Honestly three accountants isn't that small of a firm - I was thinking of a firm that had around 500 employees and had such an app. They certainly paid for bespoke software for more than just their accountants.

This answer would completely put me off building a Rails app, as a business owner. My we might be using a four-year-old copy of Photoshop, or Word. But my Rails consultant tells me that after he builds my 3 user internal accounting app I&#x

There are PCI compliant ways of storing this data, and even better there are companies you can pay to do it for you (so you don't screw it up) while providing a lot of other goodies at the same time. See: Braintree, and Stripe.

To riff a bit on the topic of the post. Most of the time, I have little desire to argue with anyone on any topic. But, unlike the author, this doesn’t mean I don’t have strong opinions. I know exactly what I think on near any topic, and I

I have, I agree. However the common design patterns for REST APIs encourage canonical URIs for resources, and discourage the same resource being retrieved from multiple locations - which heterogenous collections inevitably lead to. Perhaps

Yeah - but what if it returned a collection of orders also retrievable from /orders/search?date=today and customers from /customers/search?lastorderdate=today&totallifteimevalue=greaterthan,100000 and support tic

I think the parent is saying that without the ability to offer better service, via better photography than the competition, the benefits do not out way the cost for his use case.

Interestingly, (to me) this is not an expectation I share, nor is it one I expected others to have. I assume my actions in public are captured by any number of shop cams, police cams, and tourist videos/photos and just straight iPhones

At least at the Washington border, there are large signs telling you to turn off your engine while in line. Presumably this is for environmental reasons, but there maybe additional benefits.

These are actually really good summaries, though in one case it was to commenting policy that was summarized, not the article... Still I think the best summaries I've seen. I'd love to know what the tech behind this is like.

by nmcfarl 13y ago
Yes. So much so that I don't carry them, and it costs me money. The wallet is: photo ID, transit card, and 1 or 2 ccs, depending on if I need my biz cc that day. Wallets are a pain - though it must be said less so than, keys or phones.
