Just1689··on Apple cuts off Wordpress app to get a cut of domain sales
Another possible way for businesses to deal with this is to allow purchasing on the store but with the apple tax added onto the actual price and notify users that it's cheaper online or show the apple tax as a line item.

All Tik-Tok ers will now receive pre-sales training for Oracle Cloud
Just1689··on Azure Appears to Be Full
I think this introduces some interesting points to the DR and BCP conversation.

Is it a safe bet that we can rely on the cloud to have capacity? Normally I wouldn't doubt it but in this sort of situation is becomes more likely they will be put under capacity stress.

Will the cloud vendors learn and build slack in? I think they're very lean operations and maybe this kind of slack would damage the profitability too much.

If the cloud vendors can't guarantee capacity ( I suspect this will be the conclusion ) then what does they mean for our DR and BCP planning?

"The United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia have targeted Soleimani for assassination for over a decade. In 2019 alone, Iran reported over half a dozen alleged plots to kill the general, the most recent of which was in early October." [1]

Just1689··on The world’s most-beloved money-losing business needs your help
Me too. It reminded me of the time I discovered how much Wikimedia spends on salaries [1]. At the time I was sure it would lead to a collapse in donations.

Just1689··on A uBlock Origin update was rejected from the Chrome Web Store
I think the community should start putting together a "how to migrate to Brave" doc.

I'm curious.. Does Brave have their extensions managed by Google?

Just1689··on An apology to our community, and next steps
I would encourage Monica to watch out for any "Let's keep this private" language. In situations like this one some organizations have tried to disempower people by barring them from discussion with advisors, family or others.

Another way they do this is by saying, as in the apology "keep those discussions completely private unless we both agree to share any of it with the community" but they will phrase it as a binding agreement.

Just1689··on Ask HN: Do you use automated tools to create APIs, or do you code them manually?
In a few projects where we had a specific experiment we needed insights from we ran PostGrest[1]

Basically you create your tables and run PostGrest. Bam! You have an http interface / api for your database. We would then create light wrappers around those that took on specific responsibilities - security, audit etc. The wrapped apis is what we exposed publicly.

This may not sound all that helpful but it made the bit we implemented unbelievably tiny. As a plus, we found that a Java application that exposes an endpoint and calls an endpoint is fast to start / stop because it doesn't mess around with DB connection pools.

Just1689··on Awesome Pascal – A curated list of Delphi, FreePascal, and Pascal shiny things
No way! I too stumbled through QBASIC. A guy I knew was 7 years older and in high school. They were learning Turbo Pascal. Every Sunday I would go to him after church to enquire about what else he could teach me. Then I would go home to try it and if I wrote it down wrong or wasn't listening it was a whole week before I could ask for help. It's so cool to see someone else walked that road

Just1689··on Ask HN: Burned out 21 year old software developer, what's next?
Go work in a bank (read: retirement home) for a year.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Is taking a sabatical an option for you? You could study or do a course for six months. Stay with the folks while you unwind and re-humanize.

Just1689··on Why I use Object Pascal
A friend taught me QBasic and then another friend taught me Turbo Pascal.

Later, in high school, I learned Delphi and we did Java at Monash University.

Just1689··on Ask HN: Is anyone using Watson in their business?
Thank you for asking this question.

I work at a large bank and we've seen the Watson sales pitch every year for four years now. Every time they visit we ask them this question.

It would be great to hear from folks using it.

Just1689··on You Don’t Have to Risk Everything to Start Your Business
Thanks for sharing your story Steve.

It is interesting to consider what pivoting actually feels and looks like when you're in the thick of things.

May I ask if others have felt pivoting more palatable because the runway isn't running out?

Just1689··on iPhone App will not stay open - just flashes when trying to launch
Yeah, abusive language it is not. It's more of a tantrum.

Looking at the other reviews, it does seem that the company is happy to help with issues even where there is a negative review.

Just1689··on JPMorgan Software Does in Seconds What Took Lawyers Many Hours
> I think there will be a role emerging within Enterprises, (sort of like an "insurance broker" who finds the best coverage options among a sea of choices), that will be responsible for surveying new technologies that could potentially help the firm, and running pilot programs to see how they potentially help make the org. more efficient or more competitive.

You have just described my role. We're calling ourselves Emerging Technology Specialists for the time being.

Just1689··on DynamoDB cannot store empty strings
I've bumped into this. It's a serious problem.

If you think you're going to migrate an existing system to DynamoDB, then this is one of the things you need to plan for.

The workarounds for this are rather unappealing, perhaps heretical.
