Re:Stripe's Knowledge AI Platform on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @12:55PM (#49819045)
I worked there. All the internal tools are amazingly polished. I’ve never seen anything like it.
It’s confusing, but the “salvage” label here has nothing to do with the title, which is clean in this case. It’s a label used is by Tesla - which means it’s not allowed to use super chargers due to safety concerns. They don’t want a janky Tesla causing serious injury. Honestly it’s a good policy by Tesla and will help incentivize owners to get quality repair work.
The difference is that buying a ticket isn't marketed as "opt-in".

And equally as important, you can cat a CSV file and easily understand it.

I quit Stripe after only six months because the pace, stress, and anxiety were not worth the paycheck.

This is sarcasm, right?
Ironic.

If all you need is lightweight jobs like transactional email, I highly recommend suckerpunch.
Re:Covid vaxx efficacy after 8 months on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @07:59PM (#29169774)
What, from this article, led you to this conclusion?
Also, the engine has little-to-nothing to do with the plugin system.

Also the borrow fee for shorts is insane now, like 23%.

It’s prison, I’m sure there are lots of bibles.
Re:Open Letter from Laura Poitras on Thursday January 14, 2021 @05:06PM (#25783359)
Yes. IIRC they were going to let him publish the story, he just had to remove everything about Joe Biden, lol.

Safari content blockers do not have access to your browsing history. It’s a declared list of patterns to block.
I've heard from some large event organizers that EventBrite is taking similar measures: delaying payouts to event organizers until the event has concluded. I heard from one organizer that they were told by EventBrite that they were not going to see a payout until 2021 for their Labor Day 2020 event.
Re:We do not use foreign keys (2016) on Friday November 08, 2019 @04:41PM (#21487123)
Also, to be noted, Github was a Rails app since long before there was native support for adding foreign keys. I've worked on a lot of large monorails that were created in Rails' early days and none of them have foreign keys.
Re:iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max on Tuesday September 10, 2019 @04:31PM (#20933348)
I could be wrong, but I think it's the same internals of a 6S. I have a 6S and it still feels plenty capable.
Re:Fixing the MacBook Pro on Friday November 24, 2017 @08:16PM (#15773899)
I would add: the trackpad is way too big. I accidentally touch it all the time when I am typing, which causes my cursor to move.
Re:MailChimp vs. Amazon SES – How I Reduced My Monthly Bill on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @05:06PM (#15494948)
Aaaaaand that's why I no longer use Amazon SES for transactional mail for signupforms.com. It is frequently used by mass-marketers, which means my transactional email was frequently being dropped by some email providers because of SES's poor deliverability.
hot dog
I can't stomach using them anymore.
Re:Ruby 2.3.0 Released on Friday December 25, 2015 @10:06AM (#10791374)
I couldn't find any actual examples on how to use the new frozen string literals. Lots of discussion in the link provided, but that's it.

Gee, I wonder how it will all go down. I mean, all those people supported comcast by _not_ sending comments to the FCC, right?
Re:Playboy Interview: Steve Jobs (1985) on Sunday September 14, 2014 @11:17PM (#8317125)
All these things show that it really is coming down to just Apple and IBM. If for some reason, we make some giant mistakes and IBM wins, my personal feeling is that we are going to enter sort of a computer Dark Ages for about 20 years. Once IBM gains control of a market sector, they almost always stop innovation. They prevent innovation from happening.
Re:Drop Dropbox on Thursday April 10, 2014 @10:17AM (#7566243)
Keep those torches lit for everyone in the current administration too, right? Torture, war, and mass-surveillance continue to this day, 5 years after she stopped being Secretary of State. In addition, many in the current administration were involved in the Iraq war as well.
