I run a very small software consultancy and ZenPayroll is amazing. Very simple to get set up with direct deposit, very, very highly recommended.

I was deeply into it as well (though not at your level). I was so happy when a question I asked was printed in Action Pursuit Games (something like should I upgrade to nitro or stay with CO2?). Also, Automag all the way.

They weren't late, though? If they wanted people to show up 5-10 minutes early, make the training at 5:50 or 5:55. Don't say 6 and really mean earlier.

Wow this is awesome. I had to integrate Alipay into a checkout process in ~2010 and it was a complete nightmare - and not even as a result of the language barrier. The API was just so so bad. Glad this is in Stripe now.

I generally agree, but if the retailer is large enough they almost certainly pay a percentage of their cash payments to a Brinks-like company to securely handle the transfer of the money.

I want to know an explanation of why credit card data was stored. Is this standard? Shouldn't they only need it long enough to process the transaction - there's no reason to store it, correct? Was the data stolen in transit (shoul

And there goes my DO plan. This is what Linode was missing, and I'm so happy it's here. Thanks, Linode!

I do the exact same thing (I haven't had issues with DO, though). Production code on Linode, staging code on DO. The Linode "premium" is worth it.

I think you're exactly correct, and "unlimited vacation" is almost always better for the company than the employee. Here's a great essay on the ills of a policy like this: http://jacobian.org/writing&#x2F

It has Node.js, which I guess is JavaScript. Or do you want direct access to V8? Edit: If you expand the list of supported languages, it shows Python too.

This is an incredible piece of advertising and the very definition of advertising done correctly. It's funny, relatable, and immediately makes you want to buy the product they're selling. Also, very cool use of hot new technology.

I'm of the same opinion. I host all of my production apps on Linode (the 8 cores is nice too), and my staging environment is on DO. I don't mind paying more for Linode because I think their network is better.
