Self-important - sure, the author says as much themselves. But how is it misguided? OP is having fun on their personal site. Where would you guide them instead?

Okay let's charitably assume this PR for an Audit feature is completely unrelated to the Enterprise Audit feature introduced several months later. The reviewers of the OSS code are still heavily incentivized to block this PR. Worse, if

You're missing the point, if this was just an unmerged PR no one would care. But it's likely the paid Enterprise edition has merged this already, and now the same entity has an incentive to block this from the OSS version.

Hypothetically, if they never finish reviewing the PR, isn't that the same as "blocking"? Ghosting is still considered a rejection and arguably a much worse one.

StreetComplete is outstanding app, and an iOS port will bring more contributors to places like the US. So happy to see this.

You took the libre bait, rookie mistake.

Makes sense - great work so far! This is easily the best looking PTA app I've seen.

> Do people who use this kind of software manually enter every transaction they do every day, or something? Yes, exactly that. You can do automatic imports of your bank statements but that's arguably more hassle. It takes 10 minutes

Awesome! I've been using Beancount/Fava for over 2 years now and this looks really slick. One thing off the bat I noticed, it doesn't look like custom Tags are supported? I use tags all the time in beancount, say to filter fo

Fully agree. When I was younger I used to care more about privacy, and would use nothing but FOSS apps and OSes no matter how much it inconvenienced me. There's a significant opportunity cost for zealotry.

Eh, from the rest of the thread I don't think these 133t HN readers are the target audience anyway.

Not because of how violent and graphic, but because there's a chance the death is immediate. Cancer is always a long, long time away. It's like saying if you put $100 in your 401k every month, there's a chance (equal to the n

I suspect it's more about value of returned items than the quantity. I have returned ~half of the items I purchased in the last year

Thanks, I like reading this stuff. But that link was 3.5 years ago

Yeah, I prefer talking about the many illegal drugs you can fit into a stamped envelope.

Thanks for the explanation, I missed the tax and other benefits at first glance. I don't have those tax complications personally but I do see the value now. Having a checkout bundled with paypal/apple pay/card is pretty compe

That's pretty funny in hindsight. > If/when we switch, we'll probably just go to a bare bones payment processor that is much cheaper than Stripe with less support. Also what we're considering right about now

From @koopajah on discord: "We don't really drop nines if one specific feature is having issues". Pretty convenient payment processing is just a "feature" of a payment infrastructure SaaS

Looks expensive, though. 5% + 50¢

Are processors like Square any better?

by GingerMidas 4y ago
Same issue, customers notify us before hearing anything from Stripe. 4 hours of no payment processing really hurts

I've seen that video, the takeaway was the difference in price is so miniscule you might as well use what you're comfortable with.

This is when the "no warranty, expressed or implied" kicks in, no?
