How important it is to have your domain on the Stripe checkout page?
I'm finalizing the integration of my application with Stripe and I wanted to add my domain to the checkout page. However, I noticed that it costs $10 per month. In Brazil, $10 is nearly 50 Brazilian reais (our local currency), which is a bit expensive. Therefore, I would like to know from you if you think it is essential to have your own domain on the checkout page.
I got the impression that they only have a USB2 uplink, which is unfortunate for a $380 device in 2023.
Key Protein Vital for Neurons – Without It Axons Break, Synapses Die
>In a study conducted by MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, researchers found that a protein named perlecan plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of neurons. Perlecan is part of the extracellular matrix that surrounds cells and helps them develop in a supportive, yet non-rigid environment. The study revealed that, without perlecan, the axons (long projections of neurons used for connection) can break apart during development, leading to the death of synapses (neuronal connections)
If you can get yourself lost in an equally attention-grabbing way, they probably will.
I presume you're looking to add a .md file and have editor / docs support, but there is this in case anyone is looking to write a limited subset of markdown in a Google doc:

It's not great, but you'll find it useful if you have the muscle memory of `* thing` for bullet lists and `## My section` for headings.
I just play Super Auto Pets. But I honestly can't even say where I found it, someone must have recommended it to me.
I loved the collection on apple arcade, but since I play maybe 1 game for 3-4 months casually, I couldn't justify the recurring cost.
I'm referring to the experience of a lifetime - they load these things with bombs, but the examples of them falling on those with high-income individuals is vanishingly rare. To be honest, I wasn't referring to the F-35 all that specifically, it just seems to happen when you give governments bombs and planes; they aren't about to let them sit idle.
Possible, however: My personal strategy, much like i have a "junk email" address for signing up for random BS and a personal one for actually using is that i have a "junk password" that i sign up for unimportant services, and i guarantee it has been leaked many times. My important banking / amazon / etc passwords are indeed (slightly) unique and backed up by an digitally impenetrable firewall: pen and paper.

Granted, this is just for personal use, and i can totally see a use case for a password manager in a company / corporate environment.
> On June 13, the day after the blackout began, the amount of time visitors to the website spent browsing content dropped to 7 minutes, 16 seconds, or about 16% below the normal level of more than 8 minutes, 40 seconds. *Since then, visit duration has recovered somewhat to a little over 8 minutes on Sunday, but that’s still a 7% drop from the average visit duration in May.*

Emphasis mine.

Looks like Reddit will be mostly fine once Eternal September begins.

Which is a shame, really, as Reddit was one of the last vestiges of the "old Internet" that is still popular (I.e. unobtrusive ads, no social media attention grabbing, no dark patterns to boost engagement).
I’ve been so pleased with the overall ergonomics of my battery-powered lawn equipment that I’m not sure I’ll ever use gas-powered again. They usually operate around 80 decibels, they perform very well, and I’ve never had to deal with spilling gas or oil. I’m pretty sure I’ll never buy gas lawn equipment again.
How often does the US president’s plane fly without him?
DS and Game Boy Advance emulators so I can play pokemon games.
I used to own Xbox consoles but the last few generations have only had Playstation (and PC). I would have absolutely no idea which of the last 3 (4?) released Xbox versions came before which. The naming is horrible. The X is top dog with S below? What was the last generation even called? Where there 1 or 2? I have no idea even though I have used it (them?) many times at a friend's house.

Edit: I googled it. Xbox X and the old one is Xbox One X? That is simply hilariously stupid.
Not to mention that if a poor person does something stupid and gets lost, millions could still be spent in their rescue.

Search and rescue isn’t the same thing as health care.
Does it make any difference?
I’m note sure what your definition of common is but i can say that this way of storing passwords isn’t.
Everything is a risk, at least in terms of probabilities. Is it a reasonable risk is a more interesting and open-ended consideration. A solo day-hike is a reasonable risk in my estimation, but not when you add the issue of inclement weather. In the US Rocky Mountains prudent hiking culture urges hikers to descend below tree-line by "afternoon" as inclement weather is likely to occur after then in the day and trees can provide some protection.

Descending far below rated depths in a carbon-fiber single-hulled "submarine" operated by a lunatic seems to the average person to be a simple reckoning of supreme foolishness or gullibility on the parts of the victims of the Titan implosion.
I remain in awe of him. Turing indisputably had an incredibly important role in computer science. His code-breaking work saved many lives in WWII, and he even contributed an important result to biology:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nrm3120
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Basis_of_Morphoge...

The way he was treated by his country after all he achieved and the lives he saved is a great outrage and a tragedy, and I always wonder what else he may have contributed to the world had he lived longer.
I don't understand why this "it makes mistakes therefore it doesn't think" meme is so common. It's clearly nonsense.
'WE' are not in this war anon
The new final fantasy doesn't have a single microtransaction.

You see fast less intrusive versions of this when they are the too in the AAA first party games from Sony and Nintendo.

Microsoft seems to not go that route, I suspect it's due to gamepass.
I develop iPad accessibility software for people who have dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, etc. The iPad is a godsend. The large screen couples well with easy-grip shock-resistant spill-proof cases and attachments.

My wishlist for accessibility: louder speaker (as the article mentions), and accessibility settings for a simplified patient-mode UI/UX versus a full-featured caregiver-mode. For example, zero-visibility interfaces (such as swipe up from bottom) are too complex for many of my users to understand and use. I'm hoping that as SwiftUI matures, adding a simpler UI/UX will become easier.
That's nice, but AnkiDroid and AnkiMobile are different things. The former is a complete FOSS implementation of Anki for Android, whereas AnkiMobile is a proprietary companion app to Anki from the Anki author (I think, iOS only).
> Strictly speaking it is true that the F-35 is an air superiority fighter.

I wonder, does it have more kills in the air or on the ground?
It’s a bit old but still running: Touch Arcade^ has a good mix of deep dives and “out this week” with a pretty active forum for new mobile (iOS and android) and switch games.

I still find myself at least considering the weekly features or looking at what they curate for “out this week”.

This is coming from the company that in an attempt to count to 10 (and only ten) went "1, 2, 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11".
Curious: what monetization strategies do you find most inoffensive?
You’d have to pay money. Monetization heavily favors mictrotransactions and are built around the most abusive Skinner box concepts. The Asian market is well known to spend high rates on IAP letting terrible games earn 100s of millions.

Subreddits like r/iosgaming should be a good starting point.
Amazon had a hierarchical configuration system for loading config that could override other config (or add to it, depending on the implementation). The Java framework would provide an endpoint to show you the final resolved config along with which file and line that value came from. Very helpful when trying to figure out why config was different than expected.

At least the inspector in Safari (and maybe other WebKit browsers) does something similar for CSS.

I’m all for it. It’s a pain when writing config systems (no longer just key/value, but key+value+meta), but very helpful. It can be a pain for things like JSON where libraries don’t give you that type of diagnostic information easily, however.
Why are you ignoring what he means for an alternate interpretation of that particular sentence? He explicitly clarified that he’s talking about the EU not making smartphones. Your reply is more like hijacking his comment than actually conversing.
That’s not true. There’s been widespread reports that Wagner shot down multiple Russian aircraft resulting in the deaths of 15 Russian airmen.
FIFA 23 supports it I believe, so by extension, most of EAs sports-ball-games, but that's still only two player, but more wouldn't make sense anyway.

The impossibility of finding good mobile games is why I develop desktop and console games. I have no idea how to get discovered in the soup of the mobile app stores and I don't want to build the kind of skinner's box it would take to compete alongside most of those games.

There are great mobile games out there, but I have no idea to find them except by accident.

It's so bad that something like 0.01% of mobile apps make back their investment costs[1]. This is, amazingly, far worse than the rate for indie games on desktop and consoles.

See: 80 days, Sorcery! (really, anything by Inkle), Universal Paperclips, VVVVVV (better on desktop though), and certain visual novels

I've never seen this idea of attach rate as "related to games sold with the console at time of console purchase". I've seen people say attach rate is %of platform which took the game (so e.g. some First Party Nintendo titles score very highly because if you own a Nintendo Wii U, you are very likely to take the Wii-U specific franchise titles) and use tie rate for games per console unit. But never the description you've used.
Bitwarden is fantastic IMO, vaultwarden if you like to self host.

Out of an abundance of caution, it would be prudent to change the passwords for the most critical accounts in your life initially. Things like your bank, email, Google. Accounts that losing control of would immediately make you go "oh shit, I can't do X that I need for daily life". Then slowly over time change the less critical ones.
Somewhat related, Apple’s Air Quality data source (breezometer) is now owned by Google.

I wonder what Apple is going to do about it. Will it be just one of their data sources or are they going to acquire their own?
who says that Bitwarden is the gold standard?
If we don't get our climate under control we don't have to worry about AI anyway.
just one perspective :

framing other's ideas as bad might come across as lacking humility to some.

maybe it can be framed as contributing critical ideas to design and convincing rest of the team to see why they need to revise the designs.

maybe you can mention in the passing that it is asking to talking people out of bad ideas, because they get attached to their own designs and sometimes need strong, well-articulated evidence / reasons to change their minds.
> as we transform Search with new AI-powered capabilities, we’re not only continuing to focus on providing quick insights, but also connecting you to the people and perspectives that will help you understand what’s best for you

It will help me understand what's best for me?

Oh boy. That sounds vaguely dystopian.

Reminds me of the time the Google News Initiative put up a splash page with the headline, "The future of journalism depends on all of us working together."

Depending on how you read it, it can either be standard marketing fluff or a very ominous warning for the news industry.
The difficulty seems to be that depending on what country you are in, the colours you are used to will have different meanings.

Hopefully the german definition of good air quality isn't too overly optimistic, or someone with actual health issues might get a surprise if they are used to being ok on days with a certain "colour" when traveling.
Yes. But you don't expect everyone to do that, when you think about safety. You assume the worst, not the best.
I recently signed up for Prime after resisting for years. The only reason I signed up was for the rapid shipping. I was doing a lot of traveling and I needed to be able to get some stuff quickly. After my current trip I will almost certainly do whatever is required to cancel.
Thanks for the link to the plug-in for Obsidian! This solves so many of the problems I have had switching to Obsidian completely.

If only there were a way to enable a three pane layout in Obsidian, I’d be in heaven.
But not in actual money. "Profit" in utility, not in cash.
didn't try it out yet (running on osx right now). But it should work with non-root users. The underlying file system is read-only.
Metacritic does iOS games reviews: https://www.metacritic.com/game/ios

Not sure why they don't do anything for Android (you mentioned "the Play store"). But perhaps the answer to that question also answers your question.
Is this really an issue? I bet Apple users use gmail too.
Ask HN: What topics are good for a UI/UX Primer?
I'm creating a UI/UX Primer as an e-book to help students learn about user iterfaces, user experience, and usability in general.

Thank you.
>MS even made a page comparing them

You wouldn't google Playstation 4 and 5 to find out which is which. I have no idea why Microsoft would do this. Try sending your mother out to buy one. Would she know which one to buy and understand the difference?
I've never ever seen air quality in iOS. Probably not available where I live. You guys at least, well, have it.
Nintendo has always done this though.

NES -> SNES

GB -> GBC, GBA, GBA SP

It does integrate with Android autocomplete, but I have autocomplete turned off in mine.
I get Apple Arcade through my Apple One subscription. I am an happy customer, but also to be honest not much of a gamer. You won't get AAA titles on it (or even a large selection of titles).

If you're like me then Apple Arcade is a great service, but YMMV.
Its so much worse in Europe too. Didnt realize until I traveled there after this regulation.
I worked for a boss who marked nearly every task in Jira as "Blocker" which was the highest priority.

Of course this is ridiculous. When everything has the highest priority, there's no priority between the tasks.

The solution? Use my judgment and ignore the marked priority. The boss was going to be an ass either way.
If there are multiple files in a wildcard pattern, what order are they resolved? I know for classpath loading, for example, it’s in directory order, which is file system dependent, and often based on the order the files were written to the directory and/or the size of the directory inode. Lots of fun figuring out why the wrong version of a class is consistently loaded on one or two servers out of twenty. (Always check your classpaths for duplicates kids.)
What does that even mean? They tried to go 'fallujah' on Kyiv, it failed miserably. Back during Fallujah, if the locals were loaded with Javelins, things might have turned out differently for them as well.
I think this is partially true. LastPass has offline support so the LastPass servers temporarily being inaccessible doesn't need to be an issue. But you're right, it's not "offline first".

There's lots of reasons not to use LastPass but I don't think this is high on this list.

Strong agreement. I'm building a tool for dynamic configuration and that makes this doubly fun, because now the configuration can come from a remote, live updating source as well.

In Prefab, the source can be a default file, env specific defaults, live values, or machine specific overrides when doing local development.

Right now I've landed on printing out the name, value & source type and path on boot. It looks like https://gist.github.com/jdwyah/5ca4b0eacdc04414540af0761b8a0...

I think it's allright, but I'm still thinking about how to make it better. More details in:

My guess is that the engineering required to turn Markdown into Docs/Sheets/Slides files is more expensive than the increased engagement that Google would get from doing this.

Caveat, bitwarden-cli isn't supported last I checked. They also only implement a subset of bitwarden features. Not to knock it vaultwarden, I've used it for years and have no plans to migrate anytime soon.

The bitbetter project[0] shims bitwarden licensing for personal use. It might be better if you're looking for complete feature parity and client support.

If thats true then their competitors will gladly not ask for permission and enjoy higher user satisfaction and the banners will disappear due to that long term.

But we all know thats bullshit and the law actually did cause this.
As fuel taxes plummet, states weigh charging by the mile
Netflix doesn't have these people's e-mail addresses either. Because this is about increasing the price for new customers, not existing ones. And it has no idea who's going to sign up.

(Also, grocery stores very often do have the e-mail addresses of most of their regular shoppers, if they use a rewards program in order to get sale prices. But they certainly don't use it to daily price hikes.)
Paying for the game
One person's "cultural homogeneity" is another's "shared community goal". There are, for example, people who share a goal of curious conversation, and others who advocacy goals, or other kinds of goals.
It obviously does. But, it will not harm your management career at all, so we get managers that verbally abuse people.
How do receipts stay the same?
Or worse..

the response is: list out your priorities and the impact of not doing them long with a recommendation of moving forward

... isn't that YOUR job? This especially sucks when it happens regularly and it means you're not spending any time on the prioritized work, just working on setting priorities.
Of course, there is a cultural bias to be recognized as well. In the country I currently live in, I notice that it is way more common to give a blunt "no" to some request than it would be in the states, where we would (at least on the surface) try to be more accommodating. Even if we don't want to say yes :)
- Look for open source games, via FDroid or GitHub.

- Look for games that also exist on PC/Console.

- Use app curation apps and reputable 3rd party game reviewers.

I hate to drop the later two recommendations without examples, but I am kinda out of the the Android gaming scene, and I can't find the services I used before (IIRC Apptopia and some Steam/Android cross reference website).
Because Nostr.

That is the ultimate freedom. Has zero centralized servers that behave like little kingdoms that kick out users.
I’ve seen the argument for 2-3% inflation targets that this is the population growth rate, and so if economic growth doesn’t match, people would be relatively poorer. But then when we talk about the population aging, stagnating, or shrinking, we still seem obsessed with maintaining economic growth.

The desperate need for continuous growth will be the downfall of our species.
> Also, "88 = Heil Hitler" doesn't make a lot of sense in Russian

14/88 doesn't make a lot of sense in Russian, doesn't stop it from being plastered all over the place by different militias (Including, but not limited to, Wagner).
Yes, it really depends on the company and place. Mine is in the Paris region and this are the levels I hire at.
On Android it is kind of fragmented (big surprise) but here are some strategies to filter a lot of the mobile monetization:

1) Play Pass - 1000+ Games/Apps with no ads or in-app purchases for $5/month or $2.50/month when bought yearly.

2) In the Play Store, Filter by Top Paid. Most Gacha games are free to play to get you in the door so immediately the Top Paid section has some great games like Minecraft, Bloons TD 6, Stardew Valley, Don't Starve, etc.

3) Open the "Play Games" app and scroll to the very bottom of the Home page where there should be a "Dive deeper" section. That section has a number of filters, notably including "Premium", "No Ads" and "No in-app Purchases". It only shows title cards before tapping so browsing it kind of sucks but at least you know you've gotten rid of the stuff you definitely don't want. It also has a "Trending" filter so you can see newer stuff as it comes out.
Isn't this similar to the type of thing we see here on hn all the time... some journalist, or person with a big following does something (sometimes semi-stupid) that runs afoul of big tech's automated policies and loses access to their account, they use their influence to pressure real eyes on the thing to fix it.

While there are of course major differences, I think the point is that public opinion would dictate that if we know about something like this people would want a search are rescue mission launched. The only reason it wouldn't be launched for someone with less money is because that person's family/friends wouldn't have the PR team to tell everyone about it.

I don't want to live in a world were if we know someone is lost at sea we just sit back and say, "well they made their bed." That's a pretty callous world to live in, where we see someone in trouble and turn our backs...

and by the way there is a parallel for poor people, just ask Italy/Spain, they're constantly dealing with migrants trying and failing to come across the Mediterranean in boats not built for that, as soon as they see it's not gonna work, they do launch rescue missions.
When I was involved in CoD Blackops the top player in pulic play, was a guy in his 50s iirc. He had a username that we called Kidfan (for convenience and privacy) and had above average stats, per game. He was such a statistical outlier that he was invited to an onsite office where his play was recorded. Some people just click with game design choices and he was a super intuit.
You’re not finding the right youtube teachers then. For example Professor Leonard https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessorLeonard will get anyone through Calc 1-3 and they will understand it well. I am extremely skeptical of the claim an LLM could do better. Even 20% would be asking a lot.
