I already knew what telescope this was before I clicked the link. I've had one for a few years now. It's an awesome tool that has improved over time. You can leave it out all night now if you want and program a schedule.

This sucks, but really the value of the $20 plan has been insane. I routinely get weeks of work out of the weekly limit, so yeah I'll just move up plans if needed.

That's the public data. I can tell you I've worked in this industry for 20+ years and run probably one of the biggest sites in this space selling boat graphics. The most popular name is actually "Aquaholic" ;-)

I'm testing it in my business. I'm in a unique position of running a business totally unrelated to software dev, handled customer service personally for 15+ years. I developed a AI backed live chat app first a little over a year

I'm not sure how this is a good thing. There are already very limited options to accept payments online, consolidating two of the major ones is not a great thing.

Braintree was a legit competitor, last time I checked they won't even onboard you if you don't have an established business grossing over 100k/yr.

Entirely predictable train wreck in the making. The vision based transition from the start has been a complete mess for years now. Here is a short summary for those that don't understand. - Mobile Eye dumps Tesla in AP1 days forcing

This still doesn't add up. The new HW4 Model 3 "highland" doesn't have more cameras. Notably there is a no front bumper camera. It also have one LESS camera in the windshield. The HW4 board DOES have space for more c

I'm thankful to have a very low percentage of chargebacks for the amount of transactions I process. However,the process sucks. These days if a customer wants they can essentially get whatever they buy for free. I've gone down th

Haven't verified it but former congressman Adam kinzinger claimed Canada did just that. It took over 1000 rounds and 4 hours to accomplish.

Yep, provided as much detail as possible with code samples. Pretty much as if you were emailing someone for help.

More and more I'm finding myself just going to ChatGPT for answers I would otherwise find on stack overflow or search engines. In that respect I think bing would be dumb not to provide code based answers. Granted they haven't bee

If it isn't obvious this is the new norm for Twitter. Elon is making up the rules as he goes and ruling like a pissed off insecure reddit mod. I don't buy into all the freedom of speech rhetoric he has been spewing. This is abo

I'm not sure why anyone expected twitter not to be run like another of his other companies. This freedom of speech play will always be secondary to Elon's whims.

Not really, in court filings there are text messages with him pretty clearly discussing his rationale. https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-texts-joe-rogan-larry-elllison...

What an epic debacle. Since hangouts has been phased out there isn't even a way to one click video call someone anymore in google chat, it is a hacky meet link. There was a time when I used hangouts for everything, video, SMS, and ch

Windows has become a complete UI disaster. I feel like Windows 7 was the last cohesive UI. The control panel is a great example. I'm not sure how it could possibly be more of a train wreck. Settings are in seemingly random locations

If I was starting from scratch I would probably use an micro ORM like dapper or in my case I have experience with Petapoco. There are so many "gotchas" to using EF that I'm not sure if was worth using to begin with (for a com

We had a Gen 1 Volt for nearly two years. A greatly underrated car in my opinion. No maintenance issues at all, it just worked like it was supposed to. Frankly people are scared of them, we sold ours locally and everyone that looked at i

I encourage people to save their order confirmation email which contains a secure URL back to the website which has their original order and links to reorder the same items. Simple and effective. I've used this method for about 8 year

I've experimented with this. It is difficult to measure if I'm giving away money unnecessarily or completing a sale I'd otherwise miss. Good point though.

I removed all registration and login components during checkout. Most people have an auto complete setup on their browser now and most of my sales are first time customers. Granted I have a small subset of return customers that ask for it
