malloc

Wow you actually get logs from the other devs? I get fucking screenshots of abbreviated stack traces. Often not even the relevant portion of the stack trace or log.

Long time ago, it was probably due to overcrowding. Very easy to get shit quality of service once it hits a certain time of day.

But with advances in wireless technology (backhaul, 5Ghz, MIMO, …) I think that’s no longer the case.

Probably right for most big box stores or multibillion dollar businesses. But you would be surprised how thin the margins are for local grocery stores. That 3-5% in processing could be used to compete or undercut big box competitors that price in the credit/debit card fee.

I think with the right approach (small businesses first) it could see high adoption. Plus it would make it slightly more attractive in setting up shop in places that wouldn’t otherwise get any attention (ie, food deserts)

In consulting, that’s called “after work”. Got to pump those billables

Honestly though, unless it’s a feature that is completely outside the domain of the application. If you have to re-write your entire app then your app was probably dog shit to begin with

First time user of firefish. Kind of like the UI. “Global” section is kind of chaotic. Guess that’s just the fediverse for ya

I quickly looked through the #news tag, not seeing this. I guess those bots were active at the time?

The best way to "foil car thieves" is to drive a junker vehicle. Nobody is going to waste their time and potential jail time stealing a car worth less than $1000 USD in parts, unless they really just want to fuck with you.

Also never drive a Hyundai. South Korean auto manufacturers are the absolute worst.

I follow this format:

I add the issue number since most decent issue trackers with integrated VCS (ie, github, bitbucket + jira) will automatically hyperlink it to the actual issue

So 2013-2014? Lol

Intel had something like this as well (side channel attack?). I remember it because Linus Torvalds (creator of Linux kernel) ripped Intel a new one.

Credit card rewards are really not worth it. These programs are largely funded by the fees that are charged to merchants which are ultimately passed on to you at time of purchase.

I would much rather have reduced costs of goods rather than have paltry credit card reward programs.

Processing transactions with credit cards incurs fees from middlemen and unnecessarily complicates the merchant-buyer relationship. The merchant ends up paying these fees and ultimately passes this cost to the consumer in the form of a 3-5% or more markup of goods. In some cases, even cash customers are paying the hidden markup as well.

With FedNow, this has the potential to bypass all of this messiness and severely undercut debit and credit card processing networks. Thus slowly bleeding them out of market share.

I can definitely see a new market segment of payment processing which disrupts the existing status quo. Could very easily cover expenses of running the operation on a shoe string budget, charge 1-2 cents per transaction, and become profitable in just under a year (assuming high adoption).

In the end, smaller merchants are able to compete or in some cases undercut bigger stores since they are saving money on CC fees. Consumer has the benefit of more competition in the market and getting that better price. Overall decreased cost of living.
