i love the features of resharper, but after all these years, the performance is still super awful when you have large projects. Every new version I give it a try to see if the perf problems are fixed, and every time I have to turn it off af

yes, but it doens't stop novices from doing it, or perhaps if you have existing code you are trying to parallelize.

on a related note, anyone know a good saas for api documentation? preferably one that could take jsdoc imports or other code based generated docs...

i use sendgrid, and like the product, but the customer support is pretty terrible. i accidentially sent myself about 20k devlog emails, and they suspended my account. not just "i'm sorry you are over quota" but actually sus

the biggest gotcha I've seen with C# multithreaded is the usage of the basic .NET Collections: Dictionary<K,V> and List<V> they will mostly work (like multiple threads reading, or 1 writes while another retrieves), except

agree. the coupon problem would be best fixed with atomic database transactions. in fact, an entirely synchronous, 1-user-at-a-time server wouldn't fix this, if there were two or more servers. and honestly, who would design any syste

I don't know if it's a lot harder, but it seems the usefulness of this is severely diminished without the ability to autoscale your backend.

not vue, but I use ReactStrap + Bootstrap4 for that, and it works good. Bootstrap 4 has some small rendering artifacts (like datetime inputs in inputGroups) but they are pretty fast about fixing them. (Though my input group example, the fi

I don't understand why Hapi doesn't get much love these days. It's a monolithic framework, which means it's extremely opinionated in how things are done, but also it means you don't need to go hunt down 3rd party p

does anyone know if the OP is talking about search ads, or display ads? I stay away from display ads because it's chock full of fraudulent activity, but even search ads I see about 90% lower conversions than organic search. so wonde

French Guiana is colored around 15th place in the map, but isn't listed at all in the top 50 list. I wonder what happened there.

I owned the project and decided to kill it, I guess you can call it due to technical debt, but probably more accurately it was due to incompetence, both by the developers and by myself as their "manager". my product was http:&#x2

I use Stripe for my SaaS and I agree with you. A lot of the OP's "lessons learned" I feel are simply opinions based on his own experieince, not actually determined via cost/benifit analysis with any other comparable wo

Warning: i tried turning Cortana off by following some powershell scripts (not this one though). ended up she's still on, but now my search functionality is broken. Nothing I did could fix it. Guess I need to reinstall windows if I

basically no 3rd party system is designed to execute programs to obtain new certs when they expire. so can't use LE for existing workflows.

I think for a SaaS, the most important aspect of validating demand is if anyone is willing to pay for your product. I didn't use Mashape (I tried, but they kept churning their product which turned me off), but that might be a good way

I suppose I wasn't very hardcore. I ran (and failed) a game studio in Bangkok, and was experimenting with other business ideas when I finally decided to move back to the USA for family reasons. I don't know about Chiang Mai, but

ok thanks for the feedback, you are right, and a lot of people want more control of the phantomjs process (or a long-lived process) so it is something I should consider more highly. I'll add it to my feature todo list. if you sign up,

it's actually a really great way to understand your customer's needs, and your products actual (in the eyes of the user) deficiencies. I also use uservoice to help the highly-desired features/requests to "bubble up&quot

Thanks for the feedback guys, the marketing+ux roles are definitely in my "fake it" category :) I will try improving this.

The request time is pretty much what you would expect running PhantomJs on a Amazon/Google/Msft VM, which is roughly 2x longer than running the same request in your desktop browser. Regarding your suggestion on dedicated workers,

Right now I do limited IP rotation (once per day) so if you need proxies you'd need to use an external proxy provider (you can specify the procxy to use via the PhantomJsCloud api) I'm toying with some built-in proxy options, but
