Re:Fix your dirty Salesforce – Datadog for CRM [YC W23] on Thursday February 02, 2023 @05:36PM (#34634231)
In every company I worked at, Salesforce and HubSpot has been a struggle. The sync breaks, the Salesforce logs are hard to decipher. We had a full-time person dedicated to reconciling the billing with the CRM, and even sometimes manually syncing them yeesh. Im sure they’d be thankful for any tools that could help - happy to connect you if you’d like. Info in my profile

Out of curiosity, how do you guys detect sync issues? Will you handle the reverse-ETL side as well?

I've been enjoying the illustrations at architecturenotes.co especially the posts about redis [1] and things you should know about databases [2]

Re:Redis explained on Thursday August 11, 2022 @01:08PM (#32428778)
Very informative and love the illustrations.

I'm building a new website and am using sidekiq for background job processing which relies on redis behind the scenes to store all the job data. I configured a high availability redis instance with `maxmemory-policy noeviction` to ensure no data is lost.

The website is still in its infancy so not thinking about scale for the next little while but curious if you have any tips or gotchas to keep an eye out for. Thanks!

Re:Sell Services on Amazon on Friday November 28, 2014 @03:04PM (#8672004)
Services (unlike products) are typically constrained by the number of personnel available.

How does Amazon determine a company's availability when a customer books a job?

Most of these business I'd guess are probably in the 1-10 people range and probably not the most tech savvy. I can't imagine an adequate solution unless Amazon provides scheduling software and enforces adoption.

Are there any plans for a coinbase integration?

Not that I spend my bitcoins often but it if I did I would have to manually update it within the app. With a coinbase integration it would just be in sync.

Re:Instacart adds recipes on Wednesday September 25, 2013 @04:09PM (#6446976)
What to cook for dinner is a recurring problem in my house, and this feature makes it really easy to try out new dishes and get ideas.

My only complaint is that they try to obscure prices. Item prices only appear upon hover or if they appear on the side they're grayed out and difficult to find. It resembles fine print.

First time I hear of Parsley.js. I will check it out, thanks
I'm watching your repo to see how it evolves, I like the structure of your api. Best of luck.

Regarding Formance, it uses jQuery to setup the necessary event listeners to provide the field formatting.

On the other note snake-cased is a preference, I would happily provide camelCased if there is demand.

thanks for the feedback, I see the error as well. I created an issue and will take a closer a look.
The demo was just meant to show what you can do with the formatters and the validators.

Those error prompts are not part of the library. In the demo, I setup some event listeners that get triggered on 'keyup change blur'. In the callback function, the value of the input field is validated and a message is shown to the user.

Maybe for your needs, it can be triggered on 'blur'. Or you even create your own setup. Formance.js simply provides the formatters and validators, and you can plug and play however you see fit.

You make a good point, I'm not familiar with many of these libraries. Can you please provide some links.

I'm familiar with:

- Stripe jQuery.payment.js (formance is based on this project, extended beyond payment forms) https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment

- Masked Input (good for basic formatting, and does not include validating) https://github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput

- Validate.js (does not include formatting) http://rickharrison.github.io/validate.js/

true, i can add that in as an option. I just wanted to there to be less clutter and confusion for the user if they see a 1 without entering it themselves.
That field has not been created yet, but formance is flexbile enough. More than happy if you would like to contribute one!

what browser and version are you using because it should work.
