Currently, the biggest issue I’ve been having is that their support group seems to be disconnected from each other and from automated processes. The platform is otherwise pretty so…

From the docs ( https://stripe.com/docs/tax/checkout ) it looks like Apple/Google Pay is disabled when Tax is enabled. I wonder if there is a technical limitation there or if that …

YouTube was a separate company acquired by Google in 2006: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_YouTube

Thanks for pointing that out, that seems to patch up that rather large hole in the proposed legislation.

The big problem that immediately pops up to me is: a good chunk of the examples of low wage workers are in fast-food (i.e. the McDonald's example). Just about every fast food compa…

I think it's regional. When I lived in the midwest all of the appliances came with the apartment. Now I live in Los Angeles and you have to bring your own fridge.

Hasn't everyone already learned to keep your personal and work Amazon accounts heavily separated?

That's an interesting take. Facebook is basically Television 2.0, with all of the advantages (free entertainment) that come with inherent costs (advertising), and as was pointed ou…

That's a good question. AFAIK Stripe already had their magical Dunning rules for retries, which were supposedly already optimized via machine learning. I'm curious if this is subst…

AIM = AOL Instant Messenger AOL = America OnLine It makes sense.

Isn't that basically what an optical illusion is?

You'd think an entity as large as they are would understand the complexities around names. It always seems to prudent to re-read http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-prog…

I hear that argument all of the time, but in reality the colleges aren't the ones giving out loans. What will probably happen is that loans will start being more difficult to get, …

Many of them already are, but they aren't "sexy". I personally do a lot of .Net, and MVC 5 has relatively good defaults if you just install and go. ASP.NET Core is even better in s…

It looks like something ate your link.

Hey, I was just looking over the GitLab product page[0] and it looks like there might be a small issue with the FAQ: Under the "Can I add more users to my account" faq it indicates…

I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm just really afraid of what the knock-on effects are going to be of starting kids out in walled gardens. I wouldn't be an engineer tod…

Hey, sorry if this is slightly off topic, but "developpers" is spelled wrong in the community column. Thanks!

You literally just described the Stingray devices. It is very worrisome.

As a hiker I would much rather step aside for a slow moving well trained animal then dive out of the way for a mountain biker going downhill way over the posted speed limit around …

Yep, and that code isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Big, boring, slow moving enterprise software. I work on one of these systems.

I'm guessing you just mis-typed, but I think you meant nuclear instead of chemical.
