I just love their alternative to go's error handling: ['/post/:id'] fn (b Blog) show_post(id int) vweb.Result { post := b.posts_repo.retrieve(id) or { return vweb.not_found() } re

Now that I think about it, I think this law could also hurt competition even amongst established players, allowing them to squeeze restaurants even harder. Imagine platforms A, B, and C. Platform A approaches Daisy's Cafe offering an a

Totally. That's what'll have to happen instead. But it's more expensive (cost to restaurant ultimately goes up) and annoying.

Yeah, like I said, restaurants should absolutely have easy and fast recourse against predatory platforms. The heuristic, "but will restaurant owners ask to be delisted because of this?" should be a powerful force for keeping overl

IDK, this seems more like a mixed-bag to me on account of being opt-in instead of opt-out. Absolutely I agree that businesses should be able to easily opt out of being listed on a given delivery platform if/when it causes problems for

I'm curious - how would you describe the qualitative differences in code structure that results? Are there ways in which Nim nudges you to structure your code in better ways than you would in Python? Are there footguns?

Wow, 35% growth in the package ecosystem is a great sign!

Wow, that's a really nice (and extraordinarily rich) landing page. One thing I hadn't known about before was Github Discussions (beta): https://github.com/home#home-community

Hmm certainly willing to, but I don't have much. Mostly just that professional graphic designers didn't seem like the right audience since they already have networks of peers who can give better feedback. Oh, and the apparel-indus
792.
by rattray 6y ago
Yes, a very clear answer! The problem we were solving was that apparel firms have really long lead times: they design their lines for a season 9-12mo before the customer buys it. That means they can't iterate on their designs; Decision

Heh, I built something similar years ago. Even got a YC interview. It was called decisioncandy. Originally targeted logos but switched to apparel... I think the Slack idea is brilliant though, and I could totally see that taking off for a w

Generating intermediate strings is much less expensive than painting to the DOM multiple times.

Nice! How much does this approach cost (ballpark)?

I wonder if fairly standard reviews might be helpful here. 1-5 stars, with text, and perhaps also links to issues if there are problems and an opportunity to share "used at $company" for endorsement. Or perhaps just a built-in &qu

Thank you for sharing some of the environmental conditions of the test. I do remain curious how this might generalize to real-world efficiency...

What could explain the mechanics of how this happens? Surely FB employees aren't managing those bot accounts themselves. Do they generally determine accounts that engage with ads to be "human/real", thereby incentivizing

My business already can't run fb ads because of a broken algorithm ;) Yeah, I definitely agree with your main thrust that a different business model, probably spurred by legislation, is needed. I just don't know what that business

by rattray 6y ago
Maybe... but I'm not sure that's right. My impression from talking to people who run ads for a living is that FB's ML-driven targeting is just orders of magnitude more effective than traditional "put an ad in a relevant

I think this viewpoint doesn't get enough credence on HN. As a consumer, I started doing ~all searches and browsing in Firefox with uBlock, and I never log in to FB on Firefox. The ads I've gotten have, indeed, become a lot less r

For clarity, do you work at Shopify? These all sound like valid reasons, I'm just curious if they're the ones that motivated the Scripts team at Shopify.

by rattray 6y ago
Because as the article states, JavaScript is widely used by their plugin developers, while AssemblyScript is still nascent (little-used, missing features, has bugs).

Awesome! Very exciting. I recently launched a small business which has a natural subscriptions element ( https://narwallmask.com - a mask with replacement filters, which you may want regularly) but without subs integrated into sh

I think this is super new - there are only two apps that offer subscriptions that integrate with Shopify Checkout, and one of them launched in November it seems and is still in beta: https://apps.shopify.com/collections&#x2F

Using IRC will 100% get you much better developer support from Stripe. It's staffed only by developers (a very good team of people IMO). Disclaimer: former stripe employee, worked directly with said team.

And make stolen credit card numbers even more valuable? (I like where your head is at, fraud is just hard)
