At Stripe, we believe that the burden of proof is on he who denies, not on he who declares.

I got some banana bread at work today. Hell yeah. So it goes to show that waiting for things is, like, worth it. But there's a lot of bad things in this world, dude. Like fucking skunks, dude. HELL NO. Scratching your eye, but it'

I don't mind the sluggishness as much as the dialog in Witcher games. I tend to prefer games with little-to-no required dialog and Zelda's interactions tend to be more mechanical than conversational. I'm fine with lore, but a

“For example, one argument would be that the evidence I’ve presented here is consistent with a strategy of quickly shipping “version one” with poor performance, then starting work on a high-performance “version two” to replace it. That woul

Or as Casey would put it: Discord is taking 3.7moo ("Moon Unit") to open. A Moon Unit is equal to ~2.7 seconds, the maximum ping time to the moon. Therefore, if Discord had their servers on the moon, nobody would know the differen

Instant response != Instant resolution. Getting support at Stripe is easy for easy things, but hard when it actually counts. Based on what we've seen here (and what I've personally experienced) getting your payouts paused while no

Impressive work! Where is the net package getting worked on? Is it the "core_net" branch or do you have your own fork?

As an individual, you should have the right to access any information another person wishes to generate. AFAICT, Hacker News moderators are hiding posts they believe do not provide value to the site. This is fine, but you can still see a no

Pop and swap while iterating is definitely a useful feature. You can also queue removals up and do the pop and swap all together on a cleanup pass (snippet below). That said, most people don't code this way, so yeah, useful for sure.

Our main bulk of transactions get processed with 4 different local payment providers (Accepta, Bank Tech, Dynamics Payments, and Evertec), one of which integrates with Authorize.net, which in turn integrates with Shopify as a custom gateway

We've done business with many "old school" merchant service providers and none have had us pay anything upfront. The only difference is that Stripe has a better API. Stripe's onboarding is not faster or cheaper than the

It's simpler than most people think. The Present Value of $10/month for 5 years is ~$450 at around 15% Discount Rate. For consumer software, many are not willing or able to invest that kind of money upfront.

>somehow you were able to get all of this cleared up within the day Exactly. This is why the whole "their hands are tied" excuse is so frustrating to me.

That's because Shopify Payments is just a front for Stripe. We've seen both sides at our company and they behave exactly the same.

We've been moving away from Stripe and Stripe-backed (e.g. Shopify) payment gateways pretty much everywhere we can for this same reason. We only have a few integrations left connected to Stripe, specifically one with Tripleseat, which

This happened to us multiple times too. Everything gets resolved after 1+ months of having our payouts frozen. This means we have to go months without a single dollar being deposited into our bank account. Imagine having bank loans to pay a

This exact thing happened to us. We have a store located in Puerto Rico and Shopify would randomly stop payouts every 3-4 months or so because they needed to re-verify our owner address information. Apparently, most of Puerto Rico is not ve

Not a book, but the best advice on API design I've ever seen was in 2004 by Casey Muratori on his talk "Designing and Evaluating Reusable Components". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ5_u8Lgvyk
