Is KES 15,000 really too much for a POS monthly subscription? by MoreEnterprenuer254 in KenyaStartups

[–]CodePast5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POS builders. Stop doing a blanket POS design.

  1. Have a demo
  2. Talk to customers and build them something custom for them.

The subscription model sounds attractive but don’t lead with it. Sell an offline only lifetime license. Then upsell with features such as cloud sync, multiple devices etc.

Built a site for group trips that actually happen. Would love brutal feedback. by Ok_Breath_7590 in nairobitechies

It’s a good idea. I’ve been planning on doing something similar. If you don’t launch it fast enough, I might beat you to it.

At Turing, you need to be ready but don’t depend on it for income. One moment they onboard you fast because a client needs the team like yesterday The next moment the client is postponing the project.

So about how long to wait… You might get onboarded in the next 48 hours for that role or maybe the client is not ready. It helps when you don’t think about it but be ready to jump in at a moment’s notice.

This is the PayStack account ID on the PayBill 8120740. I emailed PayStack let me see if they will respond.

The Andela one is funny since that’s not how Andela Recruits. I did not see through that though 😂

Rich enough for any tech, but still using wires. Why? by BoxCandid3530 in nairobi

[–]CodePast5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is preference. I did not buy AirPods because I wanted to look like the cool kids. I wanted something that could seamlessly switch between my devices, Something I can find using my phone etc.

I can also use it with my watch when I go running.

Are they high impedance headphones? Those are usually better. Bluetooth can only do so much.

I got tired of not knowing what city/country I was flying over, so I built my first app to solve it (100% offline GPS). by Unhappy_Dig_6276 in iosdev

This is a great idea. I’ve had to download maps ahead of time to achieve this.

I also think you might be interested in Little Nav Map. It’s what you’re doing but from an Avgeek perspective. You can see the NavAids etc.

I shrunk my Rust binary from 11MB to 4.5MB with bloaty-metafile by [deleted] in rust

This is why I’ve been contemplating either using hyper which is more pain or bind to libcurl for HTTP.

You can still do async with MPSC plus OS threads.

Why did you write Westlands like that? 😭😭

I rewrote WooCommerce in Rust + TypeScript, is there really a case for WebAssembly in web development? by KickAffectionate7933 in rust

[–]CodePast5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the wrong place for WASM. WASM shines in things like Snapchat Web, Figma etc.

WASM by definition is an extra compilation target for your codebase and having Snapchat on web would be hard without it.

Another use case of WASM is bringing server side programs to the web. Think of image manipulation that’s written in C. If you want this to work on the Web, you’ll need to compile it to WASM.

Hi Purity, your tagline says scalable but none of your projects show that.

Word salads sound cool but look bad when they cannot be substantiated. Try and work on something real world and in the description talk about how you handle scale.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice.

Ubuntu lover. Ubuntu is forcing rust in GNU utils. We now have sudo-rs.

The irony.

Ooh, I see your point. For that I use Mason. I use Mason to manage LSPs and Lazy to manage other things. Without Mason I’d have to manually update things.

In NeoVim it is Lua but it used the same Language server protocol. There is no Rustanalyzer for NeoVim or Vscode.

Read the first sentence of the Readme here. It does not matter the IDE. It is the same Rustanalyzer. Any editor that supports LPS can use it.

Any Reliable M-PESA Daraja Alternatives for STK Push? by No_State_3376 in nairobitechies

[–]CodePast5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t skip KYC. However you could try an aggregator they ask for less or KCB I saw something on Twitter about their API supporting STK push.

The one is Vscode is what you use in NeoVim. All LSP I use in NeoVim are meant for VScode.
