There is no "the rest". All the payment processors or aggregators ultimately talk to Visa or MasterCard. Even if there are alternative payment methods that include direct transfer etc. they still might get kicked off if they don&#

First glance: in-app purchases. Unfold list - tip, tip and tip (different amounts). Only anonymous usage and diagnostics gathered. Not only concept but execution made me smile. Kudos to you!

Having experience with many IMO it's all about value added. There might be concurrency, message passing (Janet) od global scope isolation (Fennel). Personally I had difficulty getting into Fennel, but no problems incorporating Janet in

PHP I worked on from v4 for couple of years. My main gripe was that it was full of idiosyncrasies, implicit knowledge, heavily inconsistent and heavy on the boilerplate. After moving to Django I felt I could finally think about logic, and n

It wasn't a horror story but a simple fact that it was layer of complexity that wasn't really helpful at all. When code volume was small, nobody noticed, and hey "it looks nice". Some time after though, when volume incre

Maybe it is (mine is for sure) but that's a "bitten by the dog once" case. You got bitten and everyone around you assures you won't get bitten again, but the pain was real and you still have a scar from the event. Why bo

An usual tangent from TFA. NewScientist looks like worth subscribing for and I haven’t heard anything about it. Any opinions about it?

TIL! I always joked that there’s nothing to fear about travel over plane. Nothing will fall, nothing will crash. The true horror is spending X hours without movement and a 2 day back pain afterwards. Seems that I rarely experience anxiety b

I agree. Rarely companies want to hire communication expert to help shape good practices even though they’re spending hundreds of thousands if not millions on stuff like Datadog etc. I have this theory that mailing lists with rich search (s

In case anyone else didn’t know: SCIF stands for "sensitive compartmented information facility" (I assume ;)) The thing with security is that usually people treat it like a joke or very very seriously. I think that was the latter.

For myself it’s a very good secondary auth in alternative. E.g. I register with a vendor, create strong password in password vault and then create a passkey. Passkey is convenient for log in (and also - quick) but worst case scenario I sti

Aye. I made shameful mistake of submitting private key (development one so harmless) only because it wasn’t gitignored and prehook script crashed without deleting it). More of a political/audit problem than a real one. I guess I’m old

Probably worth mentioning that force is a ref-related activity not a snapshot related activity. Garbage collection might remove unreferenced commits. This should be done through history rewrites but as other commenters mention - GitHub has

Um, so you have it so that if I hire (let’s say) bridge engineer for 100$ but he doesn’t get any materials and produces only paper model which I sell for 1$ does it mean I’m going to be taxed based on 101$ ?

I see this twofold: what happens if net outcome is negative. Who would pay for it? The same argument could be made for children, but a counterpoint could be made that given family history outcome is more stable than with unknown immigrant.

Ok, so maybe instead of friendship let’s call it platonic love. I get your point, but we are herd animals. Today distance is bigger than ever so we are more often lonely. Some believe in gods, religions but I rather believe in people and ma

Since you mentioned violin I’ll share my recent discovery. Pianos (like grand ones, but also recent electronic ones with sophisticated key action mechanisms) are built to provide two-way feedback. There’s feedback on key press. There’s bass
