>I really think that all of this DeFi stuff is playing with fire. If these tools scale large enough, it's easy to imagine breaking the right link in the system at the right time to…

Go simpler and go cheaper . Why not do real-time processing for all of 2 minutes. That's about the length of an elevator pitch and shouldn't cost so much. Or limit the number of be…

The best part is the "simplest thing possible". They actually didn't do that at all. I hate to dog-pile on this team, but damn , 100k spend in a month isn't simple at all!

Ha, I'm re-reading The Lean Startup and this paragraph seems like a contradiction in terms of what an MVP is: We decided to build an MVP based on our best estimates and test the ma…

The conclusion is sound, the assignments reinforce learning through multiple and repeated usage of the various skills needed to complete them. The lectures and notes and readings a…

>Canadian tech is catching up in compensation terms, and the dominoes are going to start following as demand picks up Slowly changing. The US companies are going to pick up all the…

>And when you start contracting as an independent , you will make a whole lot more. This is true and more true if you're freelancing for US dollars. That sweet sweet conversion rat…

>high taxes, housing bubble, stagnant salaries Salary ranges are still the same since a decade ago even though cost of living has gone up. My first job as a full-time dev was $65k …

Yeah this is the way to go. European internet/cellphone plans are also cheaper than in Canada. So for freelancing or working at a company, it's worthwhile. Plus you can travel more…

>tech companies in Canada pay peanuts This is because: - Canadians are happy to accept whatever wages they are given (the "smart" Canadians move to the US to get higher salaries) -…

Fuzzed? That's a rarity in tests, that's awesome!

Reflection isn't required; keys in JSON are strings, and there are basic data types that are supported (strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and dictionaries which are more of the s…

Yep this is why I like JSON Cpp, there's a single-file build and I've had success using it with Repl.it: https://neverfriday.com/2013/07/26/learning-jsoncpp/ Since JSON only has ba…

I'm wondering what the difference between this and json-cpp https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp is. They look like they provide the same functionality, albeit this looks…

not a ripoff, they just are using the codebase and have forgotten to remove all instances of the "Lobsters" name (along with having what looks like one user at the moment?) I mean,…

That's fair, the UX for Woocommerce does need a bit of technical hand-holding. Could be improved on, though it seems like the pressure from Shopify will force some improvement on t…

some open source people Hey now, stop with the name-calling :P I work on and use proprietary end to end solutions for ecommerce (but not Shopify). Woocommerce wins for me because i…

I don't know, these options look just as much as "swipe credit card, get started" as Shopify's options: https://www.siteground.com/woocommerce-hosting.htm?afcode=d5... * Until then…

I've set up ecommerce sites quite a few times and it was honestly 1 to 2 days of "work", install + configure and then the rest was customization which clients pay for and are patie…

They're beating earning expectations consistently: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SHOP/ They're also growing and hiring more which always looks good in the books. Unfortunately, w…

Regulated meaning a tightly controlled and closed "market"? Number of plugins isn't the greatest metric but it's a good leading indicator. It's kinda hard to estimate how many merc…

"We'll empower you to easily sell your stuff" that leaves power and agency in the hands of individual companies. WordPress + WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento already do that. Dr…

Shopify is just the next closed-source iteration of WordPress and Magento. WordPress has one of the largest platforms and they've taken over (and open-sourced) blogging, content ma…

I'm sure that China and the US are certainly not on some ethical high ground such that considering funding companies in different [insert authoritarian governments here] is questio…
