Any Next.js devs willing to share their headaches with payments?
We’re in the early days of building something new. Our research has led us to the following value prop:

Frictionless payments for Next.js developers: No more billing sync madness or reconciliation bullshit.

We’d like to know, does this resonate with you? Why or why not?

We’d also love to hear about your payments headaches.

If you had a magic wand, what would you change about your payments integrations today?

Bonus points for hopping on a call with us to treat us like your therapist (let me know in comments). In exchange - I’ll provide a design critique on anything you’d like (YC alum/RISD/founding designer of Imgur).
It's not just Sweden, I could list other countries too, such as Denmark, Finland, England (outside of trials), Wales and Scotland. Norway calls it "experimental". All this information was found on the homepage of the same site I linked earlier.

But you don't seem to be open to discussion on this issue, and that's the double standard I'm pointing out. "They do not care about what research say or whether there is harm or not" is what you've said about others, and it seems like it applies equally to you as well.

And since you don't seem to be open to discussion on this issue, I'm going to leave it here. I think my point has been made.
What percentage of new STEM hires are immigrants and what percentage are US citizens or greencard holders?
In the past, there was always a threat that if a president got out of line, he could be impeached. But the impeachment clause has been rendered inoperable by Republicans.

The first time Democrats tried to impeach Trump, Trump argued in front of the Senate that he's allowed to commit crimes, including extorting bribes, as long as he does it for the good of the country. On that basis, the Senate acquitted him. So now the the standard set by Republicans is that even in the case of extortion and bribery, the president should not be removed from office as long as he had a patriotic heart.

Worse than that, the Supreme Court affirmed that the president has sweeping executive immunity, making any prosecution of an impeachment case impossible; the Executive controls all of the information Congress would need to prosecute the impeachment, and as we saw during Impeachment I, Trump is fine to just flout congressional subpoenas. Furthermore with the new doctrine of Presidential Immunity there is no judicial recourse for them to compel production of the documents they would need to prove an impeachment case.

Finally, we further know impeachment is impossible because when they tried it, Trump argued the correct recourse was the courts. But when we tried the courts, Trump argued the correct recourse was impeachment. That cannot be the case in a functioning system.
That's a weird take, he's talking about youthful ambitions. Tenured professor is a pretty standard bar for academic success, and startup us shorthand for building a scalable tech company from scratch. These seem like perfectly cromulent ambitions to me, not sure how insecurity enters into it or why I would care if it did.
Among the sites which facilitate connections between strangers, those have the strongest incentives to ensure both are human. In terms of value for training, you’d want to avoid any conversations which are part of the dead Internet bot-to-bot problem.

Yeah, when you think of it, the US economies of scale are huge.

In the European single market, you still don't have, for example, an affordable parcel service. For a Czech e-shop to send a package to France, as I did a few days ago, is something around 12 eur postage fee. It would be 4 eur within Czechia.

American e-shops can send packages from Florida to Alaska for peanuts, and they don't have to bother with translations into 20 languages.
Because they are nominally typed, which causes issues for users.

For example, if you already depend on package foo (depending on package baz@^1.0.1, resolving to 1.0.1) and then add a dependency on package bar (depending on package baz@^1.0.2, resolving to 1.0.3), then the same enums from package baz from the two transitive imports are not compatible, since they are not the exact same instance. So TS won't accept a baz enum returned from foo being passed to a function in bar expecting a baz enum. In this example you could fix it by letting the package manager "dedupe" your lockfile since foo could actually happily also use baz@1.0.3. But if the ranges are incompatible, your best hope is aligning resolutions/overrides. Or fall back to forking and patching packages.

And if you're writing your own library interfacing with baz enums, you have to include the full exact version of the originating package to get the right reference. So if baz also has 200MB of total dependencies, you can't opt out of those if you want to reference that 10-line enum in a function signature. As opposed to interfaces and const-types, which you can just vendor (copy-paste exactly what you want) and TS figures it out. You could break the type out to a subpackage. Not so with enums.

If you want to extend a union type, you can just add your own with the new element and it will still typecheck. You can not with enums. So you resort to encapsulation or ad-hoc conversion-functions, which gets frustrating and messy very quickly.

This is only a concern with enums (and classes, where there is good reason for it as the implementation does matter at runtime in a way that enum primitive values do not). The alternatives don't have this issue - as they are structurally typed, TS will "merge" them at type erasure.

If you are 100% sure that your enums stay private inside your module and are never exposed via references in public APIs, at least you're mitigating much of this. But why paint yourself into that corner? (at the point that readability of comments is a concern I suspect you need to reconsider)
because I've ran a team overseeing the moderation for 200k players in an online game, and the real issue is the application, not the word, of the law/rules.

You can copy, paste, write and say any number of smart words, but the real world is very messy. You quickly get something that is on the line, or that you misjudge because of your own biases.
Avoiding overtime helps but if the work conditions are conducive to burnout it can happen even to part time workers.

How much work it takes to protect the balance to avoid burnout can itself also contribute to burnout, say if you constantly have to fight getting overstaffed or repeatedly having to push back on being on call...

AMD supports only a single Radeon GPU in Linux (RX 7900 in three variants)?

ASML seems to strike deep at personal identities: it's the only European player in space dominated by American and Asian companies.

Every time anyone mentions ASML, I see comments of adulation. It's a very human tendency to hero-worship, especially fanboys who only recognize the name but don't understand the history or the ecosystem.

It's useful to remember that ASML didn't outcompete rivals through brilliant innovation in a heated market race. Instead it won mostly by being the last one standing. All the other players dropped out. Nikon and Canon made strategic decisions not to pursue EUV because it was too risky and expensive. ASML, a small Phillips spinoff, couldn't do it alone either. It took two decades and billions of investments backed by Intel and TSMC to keep ASML going before the first breakthrough -- it was a lot of persistence and incrementalism. ASML was essentially a side bet/strategic hedge by Intel, TSMC and Samsung.

(all this is covered on Asianometry)

People associate ASML with the Netherlands, but it would not have been possible without the massive contributions of the Americans, the Taiwanese, the Germans, and the Japanese.

It's like Grigori Perelman and the Poincare conjecture -- he didn't accept the Fields Medal for it because he felt that he just happened to the last person to put the pieces together (he was building on work by Thurston, Hamilton, etc.).

We see ASML as this amazing Dutch company, but we forget all the other players were critical to making this singular company possible (only because it happened to be the only one standing, not because no one else is capable -- this is the great misconception).
No. That's another long story. I think bitcoin is basically a scam. (That's another essay I should probably write.)

This is not to say you can't make money at it. People make money on scams all the time. One might argue that it's a foundational element of the American economy. But when it comes to bitcoin, I understand the technology and its attendant risks too well for me to want to play that game.

Do you think a state like Oregon can continue to have a state constitution it does with support for immigration as a sanctuary, etc. or is Oregon supposed to be more duty bound by local state constitution? What happens when they are mutually exclusive or the federal government gives orders that are unlawful locally? Does this become a 10th amendment issue?

I assume this is because reasoning is easy as long as it's just BAU prediction based on reasoning examples it was trained on. It's only when tackling a novel problem that the model needs to "reason for itself" (try to compose a coherent chain of reasoning). By generating synthetic data (R1 outputs) it's easy to expand the amount of reasoning data in the training set, making more "reasoning" problems just simple prediction that a simple model can support.

the low thinking work still exists in housekeeping tasks but those are non promotable and seen as wasting time/skill... so people shy away from doing these. Those are also the things managers may tell you to delegate to manage an impossible workload, effectively removing downtime from you and leaving you with 40h of high effort/intensity work.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Logic Pro iPad is a subscription. I honestly don't know who the target audience is for it. I'd think most hobbyists could probably just get away with GarageBand on the iPad which is free.

When traveling I've actually sketched out music in iPad GarageBand then brought over to my Mac and opened them directly in Logic X. It works pretty flawlessly.
Why is this so difficult?

1. We apparently don’t even have a name for it. We just call it “CI” because that’s the adjacent practice. “Oh no the CI failed”

2. It’s conceptually a program that reports failure if whatever it is running fails and... that’s it

3. The long-standing principle of running “the CI” after merging is so backwards that that-other Hoare disparagingly called the correct way (guard “main” with a bot) for The Not Rocket Science Principle or something. And that smug blog title is still used to this day (or “what bors does”)

4. It’s supposed to be configured declaratively but in the most gross way that “declarative” has ever seen

5. In the true spirit of centralization “value add”: the local option of (2) (report failure if failed) has to be hard or at the very least inconvenient to set up

I’m not outraged when someone doesn’t “run CI”.

It's a wonderful experience! I taught my first class in 2012, one for 6-8th grades, and one for 9-12 grades and then off-and-on through the years as needs arose.

It's a lovely time in their lives when computers are still "unknown" and a little magical, and they're learning about Minecraft or Roblox. They love to see how things work, but especially, how to create things.

So much of the grown-up internet is about endless passive consumption, so it's great to plant little seeds about how to use computers creatively and constructively and see where they run with it. Not everything has to be in an app, or behind a login, or from scrolling, or watching. We can just open up Notepad++ and create something. When they understand and master that, we move on to terminal or VS Code, or whatever works best for their trajectory.

We take a journey from electrons to gates to binary to bytes to characters to files to folders to ports to IP addresses to routers to HTTP to servers and back again. It's fun to see them piece together a mental model for how all this previously-invisible stuff actually works. It's very complex when stacked together as a whole, but each individual layer is rather simple and straightforward.

I have the career I do, and life that my family does, because nearly 25 years ago, one of the mom's in this same homeschool co-op taught an HTML/CSS class, and a "build your own computer" class. We scrounged some parts together from a Seattle PC recycler and built our own Linux boxes, then played little games or built websites.

I'm endlessly grateful for the time and experience she invested into me at a very young age.
As a tangent but I think related, I remember years ago with the first appearance of influencers in our culture, I thought to myself if multi million dollar corporations with some mission statement can be predictably corrupted by every opportunity to make more money by compromising their stated ethics, what chance does an individual have who makes their living off of promoting some corporate goods? Not much was my conclusion, and I think culture has just embraced or better said, reinterpreted that corruption into something normal and desirable.
But you would agree that making the argument that it's fine for you to assassinate your political opponents would be a flashing red flag that person does not believe in the the ideals of democracy. I mean, generally someone who agrees with democracy would not argue, even for hypothetical purposes, that the highest power in the land reserves the right to murder with impunity people they don't like for personal political gain.

And so if someone does make that argument in front of the highest court in the land with the intent to avoid accountability for inciting an insurrection, as Trump did, maybe that person would be a bad person to give immunity from criminal liability because of their outlook on the scope of their own power.

I'm asking for a single example. I can find a few, they're the sites that complain about the JS ecosystem. But my point was never that JS the theoretical feature is bad. My point was, and is; JS the thing that exists, is bad. Because nearing a total majority I've only seen JS misused.

You gave an example that I agree with, that would be a useful use of JS. Does that exist, or is that just a theoretical example? Theoretically, a lot of stuff is good. Theoretically, amphetamines could be over the counter... everyone just needs to use them responsibly!

Thanks, but my motives for leaving were a lot less kudo-worthy than you might think. When I left in October 2001, success was far from certain. If I knew then what I know now I probably would have stayed, and I probably would have put a lot more effort into climbing the (very steep!) learning curve.
Two good questions; Two different answers.

First, re "ironically":

Short answer: Lisp and IPL were competitors for the list&symbol-processing community of early AI. IPL invented a lot of what Lisp implemented in nicer syntax -- in effect, Lisp was an HLL for IPL. Lisp (obviously) won and now we're (ironically) emulating IPL in Lisp in order to emulate Lisp's underlying machine in the HLL that sits on top of that machine. (Actually - ironically^2 - SLIP won ... see below.)

Longer answer: This whole corner of language development was full of ironies. SLIP (Weizenbaum's approach to list processing) was a plug-in for Fortran (originally) and shortly thereafter, MAD. Just as Lisp wiped out IPL, it also wiped out SLIP. Ironically, today we do what Weizenbaum envisioned: Write in powerful general HLLs and add in specialized packages for things like list processing. So, in the end, SLIP won!
Lol. This cynical attitude cracks me up so much. I lived in NYC for over 10 years. I never in my life made anywhere near $200k. I just retired this year at the ripe old age of 38. How? By following this apparently obvious "wisdom" of living simply, within my means, for ~15 years, and saving the excess. No trust funds, no Bitcoin-esque investment wins. Just saving money in boring index funds over 15 years, and living within my means.
Well, something I do like about Inertia is that it's not tied to any specific framework, neither backend nor frontend ones. That's a big advantage in my opinion.
> The Trump campaign could only deploy the "Trump is for you, Kamala is for they/them" slogan because Kamala herself, in 2020, felt the need to conform to then-prevailing winds and declare that she would fund gender-change surgeries for prisoners from taxpayers money.

She was asked a question about it once by Fox, because Trump had brought it up, and answered that yes, she would follow the law and not deny medically necessary gender affirming care, and noted that the Trump administration had also followed the law in the same way. It was a response to an unfounded fact-free attack, prompted by a question from an unfriendly network. She didn’t bring it up again.

You have not found an example of a leftist politician chasing barely-existing things in this example—the opposite, in fact, she was playing defense to right wingers trying to make something out of nothing at all.

Do prominent democrats do this, on some topics? Probably! But they don’t have a media machine and strategy structured around that as a core activity.

[edit] I mean, they do this because it works, of course. Look at the thread on PG’s piece, and this one. It’s clearly working to get people riled up and shift the zeitgeist, reality be damned. “Welfare queens”, that was a fun one, and so successful that I bet 35+% of Americans who’ve heard the term still think it was an actual problem. Some fizzle (“they’re eating the pets!”) but they’re not punished for those instances, so why not endlessly throw out BS and see what sticks? Some of it does, and then we’re all talking about a bunch of basically-fake grievances instead of anything that matters, and they may even use the BS to advance positions that do affect things that matter. It’s so very tedious to deal with.
BICEP3 actually uses a >20 year old CCD camera with analog video output (BICEP Array uses newer cameras, with more modern sensors). Daytime star pointings are possible by using a low-pass filter to block visible light and take advantage of the sensitivity of CCD / CMOS sensors to the near infrared, where the daytime sky is more transparent, combined with baffling.
It never becomes unbearably messy this way though.

The reason it gets unbearably messy is because most people google "how to do x in github actions" (e.g. send a slack message) and there is a way and it's almost always worse than scripting it yourself.
