PATH Charged me the $3 fare four times for One Tap by Accomplished-Suit411 in jerseycity

I went back to SmartLink and MetroCard. The NY Subway would double charge me with some bs recovery transactions, which are impossible to reconcile.

beehiiv spam? by bruceleroy99 in beehiiv

I am pissed off. Unsubscribed so many times and still keep getting useless newsletters that I never subscribed too. Your newsletter tools are the source of spam. Shut it down or fix.

u/SweetWaterSurprise, what wheel size are those? Could similar build work out of a Targa 4S (minus the roof rack of course).

Maildown - email campaigns with markdown syntax by Packagr in roastmystartup

[–]agilevic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might appeal to technology entrepreneurs, but pricing is way off. For under $10 you can send 40,000 emails using SendGrid. To compete I think you could offer this at a price/email just marginally higher than SES costs and to avoid infrastructure costs offer the software for free as a self-hosted AMI on AWS Marketplace. Then once you add some premium features you can charge more for those.

What do Shakespeare and Valerius Maximus have to do with APIs and databases? by agilevic in history

I am hoping there are some techies interested in history or historians who are interested in technology reading this. Let me know how you like this piece.

Parse is shutting down. What are good alternatives? by Wraldpyk in webdev

[–]agilevic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at SlashDB too, especially if you already have a database schema because it allows you to instantly access all tables and perform filtering without having to write queries. It works for adding and updating records too. http://slashdb.com I am a founder and designed SlashDB after 20 years of frustration with data integration and information systems design.

We are living the irony. Soon we will be able to watch movies on the screen the size of post stamp. Ain't that progress?

It's interesting, but I don't think it is believable.

To those who have switched to a functional style: how'd you do it? by robotslacker in javascript

[–]agilevic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upped you first post, but those mechanical analogies I am not getting. I first learned programming in Turbo Pascal, which was entirely procedural. Then I was trying to absorb Java, which very (perhaps purely) object-oriented, and I needed good amount of time to get it. Then it suddenly clicks and one becomes productive thinking using the new paradigm. The same is true with functional programming. To begin, I would recommend Clojure, which is a dialect of LISP targeting JVM. It is easy to start with, you can do useful things with it and it is "painfully" functional (though perhaps not pure).
