Depends on volume and risk profile. There are many very sharp Authorize.Net resellers out there that will work with you to get a great rate for your situation. I've seen 2.2% rates on 50k/mo of processing for low risk customers. Of course, with that you get some additional fees to factor in -- monthly statement fee, international, Amex, etc... but it pencils out to way lower than 3% at a decent volume.

For example, these guys: https://www.netcompaysystem.com

And many of these processors will give you gross deposit which is the only way to make things easy for an accountant. The net fees model Stripe uses is a nightmare for reconciliation at any sort of scale.

This isn't to say I've abandoned Stripe entirely -- there are some cases where it makes sense, when you're actually using some of the advanced features and API, not just a straightforward card charge.

I just completed a Stripe Connect integration that handles millions a month for several clients... but even there you run into half baked/stapled on feelings when you try to produce a full featured process that works at scale. For example, there's no straightforward way to provide a batch report for a Stripe Connect client -- the charge ID's don't match up with the platform account, and the only way to fully map which charges/refunds/chargebacks are in a given deposit for the client account is to link them up by amount and date/time....

rqlite author here. I am considering adding distributed transaction support to rqlite (it already has a form of transaction support), if I can come up with a solid implementation, while keeping rqlite simple to deploy and operate (which is a primary goal of rqlite):

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/raft-dev/BaS5Z2NkDxA

https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/issues/266

dqlite is very interesting. If its patches to SQLite are accepted upstream, dqlite could become the storage engine for rqlite. But right now rqlite is deliberately built on vanilla-SQLite, so it can offer the same correctness guarantees as SQLite.
There doesn't need to be any factor other than "it's more profitable", though. The higher tech is there to produce higher margins.

Aah, the good 'ol consultant proverb: If agile isn't working then it's your own damn fault.
I believe the address space size has recently been expanded through 5-level paging. This is now supported in Linux since commit b1b6f83ac938d176742c85757960dec2cf10e468.
$3,000 dev kit is pretty cheap. Just think of the cash a N64 developer had to drop on an SGI...$100k+
The consultants have taken over "Agile"

No, what's happened is that BigCorp has decided to adopt Agile and won't adopt anything without a lot of instruction books and role descriptions.

The consultants, at least the ones who know what they're doing, have been trying to fight this all along. It's the industry itself that continues to over-engineer everything it touches, from Javascript frameworks to development processes.

What we keep finding is that you can't keep people from themselves, that is, if you don't give somebody a 47-page instruction book full of diagrams and processes they want, somebody else will.

I really, really wish the problem with Agile was simply the consultants. Instead, as we've seen with process after process, we keep screwing it up, feeling that the more of something we have, the better it must be. Consultants, tool vendors, trainers, and the like? They're just adjusting their marketing pitch to what people want to hear.

I guess my experience living in a house with one of these in-bowl bidets was very different. It introduced more nooks and crannies than a simple bowl, and necessitated more frequent cleanings.
> I don'k know why you assumed that bringing up china or the soviet union would changr that fact

That's a dishonest interpretation of my comment, and in fact I think you know exactly why I brought it up. OP gets to pick and choose which capitalisms are "true capitalism", but leftists are almost always denied the right to point out basic historic facts, such as maybe Stalin killed people because he was a paranoid dictator being blacklisted by all Western powers, rather than some non-sequitor about communism supernaturally compelling him to.

Not an ad hominem, just genuinely curious, does he literally think "not all capitalisms are true capitalism" then also claim "all socialisms are true socialisms" then not see any irony?
I read this as IED (Improvised Explosive Device)... I was disappointed. And then impressed.

Your software should be agile, not your process. Your process should be "disturb as little as possible".

Either you code or you get out of the way and take responsibility for the people that code by slowing them down just enough to trust them.
Except many of the big upstream providers don't actually filter anything. HE.net for example, doesn't.

We forgot to create some IRR entries and GTT just accepted our prefixes.

There is essentially no security, it's fairly trivial to hijack whatever space you want. (Doing it undetected is more difficult though!)

Primarily, it's a lot more convenient. There's no setup involved, you just click and and the data is available through SQL or C#. There's no need to clean the data around the tables, it works on live data (file does not need to be saved), no connection strings to set up or boilerplate code to write.

There's more, e.g. the SQLite engine can interact with Excel and fiddle with formatting, but I think the major thing is convenience. As a dev, most times I just wouldn't bother with the ODBC approach unless I really had to. Convenient C# and SQL though, I'd use them at least 10x more often.
Seconding this. Without upfront pricing, I always assume buying a copy means handing over my email or phone to The Sales Team.

I don't agree. The whole point of putting a solid Raft implementation at the center of your system is deal with the faults. I myself built a simple distributed state machine which deals with faults perfectly well. Of course I built on top of a good Raft implementation, which certainly is not a few lines of code.

Same here. I just took a look at Braintree and it has convinced me.
How does Teslas strategy fit in with the ascendance of for hire vehicles like Uber? It seems to me rich coastal types who can afford a Tesla, may just decide to ditch driving all together and just "Uber" everywhere.

Yeah, I think most developers struggle with this one.

I have a friend that is like he's born for being in sales. He loves money and have almost no moral qualms when it comes to selling (but paradoxically have a heart of gold when it comes to charity and being nice to people).

Some people actually enjoy making lofty promises for money. I guess that's part of why being in a team is a good idea.

As "market cadence" doesn't mean anything but sort of sounds like it does, you can just define your delivery schedule as being on the market cadence and you are now a delivering team.

When it all goes to shit, the person brought in to clear up the mess can just tut and state that the problem was that the team wasn't delivering on the market cadence after all.

Very handy term if you want to sound good but don't actually want to change anything.
This comment from OP (beastpilot) is pretty frightening:

> Yep, works for 6 months with zero issues. Then one Friday night you get an update. Everything works that weekend, and on your way to work on Monday. Then, 18 minutes into your commute home, it drives straight at a barrier at 60 MPH.

> It's important to remember that it's not like you got the update 5 minutes before this happened. Even worse, you may not know you got an update if you are in a multi-driver household and the other driver installed the update.

Very glad the driver had 100% of their attention on the road at that moment.
Reminds me of the last Stripe CTF. I miss those.
> It’s best to do one thing really, really well.

They should probably revisit that at this point …

That would suggest that public interest would not outweigh the rights of the licensing holders.
We kind of have "unlimited" vacation, but also a number that we are allowed. If we go over that I think the manager would have to get extra approval for it.

What you describe is essentially how it has been for me. I do not have a significant other, or family and feel a lot of responsibility to help my team. Though the past couple of years my manager had heavily encouraged me to take vacation. So near the end of the year I would take off every Friday until the end of the year and take off the week between Christmas and New Years. Stuff like that.

Be weary of unlimited vacation if you're anything like me.

Thanks and I hope you use of it, that would be fantastic! Let me know if you need any help, there's a contact email on the website. There's a sales and support address, but feel free to pick any one, they all go to me:)
This is a good high level overview of AWS, though like all overviews there are some details glossed over.

I was asked at an interview what developers need to know about AWS. I think there are three things to keep in mind:

Consider higher level services for operational simplicity. Unless you are at a certain scale, you'd never run your own object store, you'd use s3. I always say if you are thinking about downloading and installing any software system on a server, see if AWS has a managed offering and at least evaluate it.

Use the elasticity of the cloud. Shut things off. Build scaling systems but make sure they scale both ways.

If you aren't automating you aren't doing it right. Tools like cloudformation and terraform let you really treat your infrastructure like software and force attitude changes.

Bonus: keep an eye on bandwidth costs, especially between AZs as these can be shocking and can drive architecture.

Except it wasn't the machines that caused the issue, it was a bug (and lack of following the controls in place) caused by Lucas Renick, of Goldman Sachs, who was fired on the spot and remained unemployed (though still on the Goldman payroll, in order to avoid a lawsuit) for many months until he joined Bank of America and later Morgan Stanley

rqlite is also a full application, whereas dqlite is more like the SQLite library -- you must wrap an application layer around it.

In principle rqlite could use dqlite.

"Hackers may have accessed names, addresses, credit card numbers, CVV numbers and expiration dates for “several hundred thousand” customers during that time, according to the airline." You're 100% not allowed to save CVVs. I really hope this is just bad reporting and not true. In fact, I think you're even supposed to scrub CVVs from call center recordings!
Maybe, but I don't think so. This seems like a silly regulation someone at this "extremely small" office (or the NOAA I suppose) came up with that slipped its way onto the books one way or another.
Wasn't the Agile Manifesto written by a group of consultants in the first place?

People aren't going to tolerate this kind of stuff. These aren't cosmetic or aesthetic flaws. This is an area that deserves transparency.

I'm out on the road too, and I don't get to make "consumer choices" for other people I share the road with. People are putting their market power into companies that lack the basic integrity to build these technologies with safety and transparency as the first priority, who evidently see peoples' lives as necessary sacrifices.

If Tesla autopilot relies on good quality road markings, then it's not yet usable in 80% of the world.
I agree with this 100%.

In order to benefit from agile, your codebase and pipelines absolutely NEED to be built in such a way that they can easily accept and ship lots of small changes, and ideally should maximise the efficiency of your code. You should spend most of your time writing business logic, rather than code to facilitate the code that contains your business logic.

It's not "sprint" compared with "walk", as in "go flat out". It's "sprint" compared with "marathon", as in "short burst and we're done".

Using the word 'sprint' as an excuse for permanent crunch time is doing it wrong.
... and this everyone's responsibility.

Makes total sense. It's almost as if everyone at a company should be on the same team :)
I have no reason to think it hoses your credit rating in the US if you pay your bill (or at least the minimum) on time. What it does do though AFAIK--it's been a long time since I've done it--is to start the clock on paying whatever extremely high interest rate your card has on the total balance on the card. Including your regular charges that would otherwise be carried interest-free until the payment due date.

So it's generally a very bad idea to get a cash advance on your credit card, especially a credit card that you also use to charge other purchases.
Which is precisely why there is a break between sprints, for planning and downtime...

I see a lot of developers embarking on the Linux on Windows approach. It makes sense if one's goal is to learn to manage Windows boxes, but it misses a lot on the Linux side of things a good developer needs to know (unless, of course, they're developing for Windows, in which case the whole Linux side is unnecessary).

Apple can't regain the 3D, design and production market unless they can get a solution that's competitive in price with PCs. I'd suggest keeping Macs as the most delightful to use desktop and transparently offloading the heavy lifting to racks of commodity PCs running headless Apple software (which may even run on top of Darwin if that makes the porting easier).

OTOH, if Apple can develop a significant edge in performance like it had with early PowerPCs. Then Apple becomes the best bang for the buck again. Since they are designing CPUs, they can be pretty creative here.

In a recent project the juniors pushed for C++17 use; I've never seen so many code comments about compiler bugs in a single project that size. It targets only two platforms using GCC and clang.

This is not to say that compiler developers do a bad job; however, don't expect complex language revisions to be production grade from the get-go.

Heh, still, chances aren't many.

So far I've managed to seriously impress my SO with my computing skills just once. People from her old company asked if she'd like a side gig, involving backing up years worth of philosophical Facebook posts of their boss (he's quite a writer), into Word documents (one per post). It would be ridiculous to attempt it by hand, but by applying a small amount of Lisp and pandoc on Facebook data export dump, I was done in 3 hours.

These days I mostly help her when she needs bunch of photos mangled into a format that can be accepted by upstream contractors; it usually involves some ImageMagick one-liners.
I suppose nation-states aren't the only ones who'd like information on US military bases/infrastructure/"nationalsecurityinterests", but I honestly think it's irrelevant.
