FreshBooks has a similar API but different pricing and far more features. Payments integrated too.

Postman makes sense because of the HTTP method POST, but I don’t know about Orbit.

You dropped this: /s

Likewise.

This would be really useful for the homeless. Nice job!

He didn’t finish, he’s still porting it.

Wow, this guy…

Not sure where you live but in Canada and the USA the phone companies legally have to allow you to port your existing number over from one company to another.

This is what RapGenius (now called Genius) was trying to do. They gave it up though.

No, they don't, you can manually ask for a one-time reset of your ratings before you do a major update. They could have done it here.

Clickbait if I’ve ever seen it.

Not all engagement is equal to Facebook. At one point they considered the angry reaction to be worth twice as much as the happy reaction when deciding if a story should be ranked up.

I worked for a mid-cap tech company that brought in Amazon and Salesforce senior leadership in 2021. The culture immediately eroded as these guys’ penchant for finger-pointing and hustling beyond a reasonable human’s capacity became clear.

I remember when WebSphere Portal Server used to do this, and the URL would exceed 4096 characters, which was the limit that IE 6 (?) would support, breaking the entire site.

A worm gear! It is indeed designed to take the fall so the entire machine doesn't shred itself.

I bought an official replacement from KitchenAid for $12 including shipping.

Oh, you know the ones.

If you’d been a vegetarian for 30 years, your evaluation that it tasted like “the real thing” is very suspect.

Rust has use cases.

I lost track of the number of times we got rejected for our app because the reviewer's Internet connection was down. "Can't log in, getting no connection to server error." Yeah dude, you need to connect to the Internet first.

One of the dumbest reasons I saw for being rejected was that our app's "invite a user by email" functionality (which only sends an email, nothing more) was mistaken for account creation and they wanted a cut of revenue.

Is this an American thing? Why does a school district have a police force?

SmugMug bought Flickr quite some time ago.

Under Preferences > Locations you can make DerivedData relative to each project and I recommend you do that so different apps you work on don’t force you to wipe all the artifacts from all apps when you clean it manually.

As for removing old simulators after you remove an old Xcode, run

$ xcrun simctl delete unavailable

That’s pretty easy.

Keep in mind that a lot of Slack’s employees —- especially early ones —- are Canadian, and Canadians don’t get unlimited PTO (by law, I think). So they are being told when they should be using some of their PTO days.

Not at all, I work at a well-known company that has Staff and Principal Engineers for iOS and Android as well as backend.

Is this what inspires LinkedIn engagement hackers?

A lot of times this is used for data warehousing so product managers and otherwise can query the database of one app joined with another, especially in an environment with microservices. You might join a table containing orders with another table that was from a totally different DB, like payments, to find out which kinds of items are best to offer BNPL or something.

The author also mentions that it’s used for machine learning models which will ultimately feed back into Shopify’s front end, for instance.
