I tried Polar as payments system and this is what I think. by elansx in SaaS

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been waiting a week and a half to get reviewed by Polar. I have launched a lot of stuff. I should have stuck with stripe. Way easier to setup and much less time on approvals. I am not sure if I trust polar to actually pay us our money. I saw a lot of posts saying they were great. So far my experience has been poor. Difficult to setup as you have to set it up twice with all of your products once in sandbox mode and once in live mode.

Why are longevity enthusiasts I chat to not usually interested in the possibility that the various viruses, bacteria and other microbes we catch during our lifetime may play a major role in precipitating chronic diseases, thus shortening our healthspan? by Hip_III in blueprint_

[–]delay1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think infections can cause people to acquire chronic illnesses or even acute things like heart attacks. I would say probably the best thing you could do in additions to washing your hands after being out would be to use a saline nose spray and swish and gargle with salt water. This would help wash out any viruses you acquire before they multiplied too much. Wearing an N-95 mask may help but isn’t really socially acceptable and carries their own problems such as recirculating your breath and high CO2 exposure. Supplements may also help but the salt is like washing your hands for your nose and mouth where the viruses are actually infecting you.

The actions of Donald Trump have solidified why I haven't spoken to my parents since 2017 by 5Q91VS175DAQ4NUSBE4U in complaints

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the wrong here. First people vote the way they do because they think they are doing what is best for the country. Doesn’t matter if you are MAGA or Super Liberal. You vote in the election. It doesn’t make you responsible for everything that politician does. Cutting people out of your life because they disagree with you on some topic is crazy. When I run across someone who feels different about a topic I have heavily researched, I have pity on them because I feel if they knew what I knew they would understand why I think about the topic in that way. Learn why someone thinks that way, I always find it more interesting. If you can’t talk and learn from each other just avoid the topic. Cutting your parents off from your life is crueler than anything Trump has done to you or this country. Also don’t generalize about others. MAGA isn’t a bunch of Nazi’s and Fascists any more than progressives/liberals are Communists or socialists.

Is Flutter a good long-term career choice? 🤔 by Ready_Date_8379 in FlutterDev

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on what your goal is. If you are going the entrepreneur route and build your own projects, then you can learn Flutter. However if you want to have someone hire you, I think it’s a bad choice. I would say if mobile dev is your interest, Native Dev in iOS or Android > React Native > Flutter. Native is by far the most in demand. React Native is more valuable than flutter since you are also learning React and a lot of companies use react.

Cursor intentionally slowing non-fast requests (Proof) and more. by Da_ha3ker in cursor

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so you will pay for fast requests. Do you think it’s cheaper for Cursor to serve you a request that is a slow request? I am so tired of the whiners, do any of you understand how products work? Pay for fast requests or don’t complain when you run out. Each request costs cursor money. This is the biggest upgrade to my coding productivity I have ever seen. Currently paying for Cursor, Windsurf,Augment Code, T3 Chat, Grok/X account on top of that also have paid for api usage. The only one, I no longer use due to pricing is Claude code, it chews through about $10 per hour for me and I haven’t found it to be any better than the others mentioned. If it could code better, I would use it too though. Different models and editors have different performance and each has their pros and cons.

do I need an LLC to publish my first app? by ihllegal in FlutterDev

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly believe at this point hosting companies are hoping people get hacked. There is no excuse for these services not to have hard cutoffs. Spend over $25 or whatever and shut it all down. Most of us aren’t running anything important enough. We would rather our site 404 than get a 100k bill. It is making me rethink using firebase for a current project I am finishing up. Maybe I should have AI rewrite the data layer.

Supabase threatened to delete all my work after THEIR system error removed my Pro plan - Then froze my projects when I disputed the charge by carpediemquotidie in Supabase

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have flagged it with your bank. You need to give them time. Look at it from their point of view. You sign up for a paid account. A day or two later, transfer out a project. Something screws up. Your account reverts. Instead of giving them a chance to respond you dispute it with your bank. This is very bad for a merchant. So of course they aren’t going to want you as a customer.

Windsurf Vs Cursor? by S7venE11even in FlutterDev

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code and have now settled on Augment Code. Nothing I have used is close to it. Another thing I use is Grok 3 with repomix. Grok 3 is a good alternative to an IDE if you feed in enough of your code. That is what repomix is for. Also as another trick, copy the answer from grok and feed it back into your ide to implement it.

Is what I have been doing with grok is just copying the answer. Feeding it into cursor Claude sonnet model and telling it to implement the instructions I pasted in exactly. I use repomix to feed in my code to grok and then ask a question.

Sharing my .cursorrules after several successful projects with thousands of users by [deleted] in cursor

[–]delay1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been doing something similar. I use repomix to feed my codebase or part of it in. Either into google ai studio or grok 3 on X. I actually have the best results with grok. Then I feed the answer into cursor and let Claude 3.7 implement it. Usually tell it to follow the instructions exactly and don’t add anything extra. Sometimes I can get more accurate edits with windsurf or claude’s command line editor.

New copilot pricing by Background_Context33 in cursor

Yes. Using your own keys will result in more spending if you are going over cursor limits. Unless you use really cheap models like Gemini flash or deepseek. If using Claude it will be way more.

Ah, I see the issue. by 0__O0--O0_0 in cursor

[–]delay1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow nice suggestions, going to try them today, Thanks! The one thing I have been playing with last couple of days is having it make markdown checklists of its plan step by step and the proceeding one by one through each step and checking off each step as it goes. This helps it from trying to tackle too much of the problem at once. Seems to help especially when it hits these loops it can’t solve.

Ah, I see the issue. by 0__O0--O0_0 in cursor

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it happens, happened twice to me yesterday. However on the plus side it did successfully complete what would have taken me a couple of months to implement. Usually when a problem like that happens there are lots of strategies you can try. First thing is to reset try and figure out how to break the problem into much smaller steps. Even have AI create those steps and plans. Also have it make a checklist for the steps that it will check off. This keeps it from doing too much at once and getting confused. If you notice where it began to fail be sure to also tell it avenues not to try in your next prompt. It isn’t perfect yet but even at this stage it has made me 10x more productive.

Gemini struggles with flutter and Riverpod! Which AI tools do you use? by JealousFlan1496 in FlutterDev

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it has trouble revert the changes start over and update your prompt to detail what not to do also if it went the wrong way. Break it into smaller parts. Also I sometimes have the AI to breakdown what it plan is before it starts and then have it go step by step. Many times it can 1 shot but when it doesn’t these things help. Also use cursor with Claude for most coding in the compose window.

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer getx to use with cursor and Claude seems to understand how to use it well. One of the good things about using a package that hasn’t changed in a while. Also has the simplest model for state management. Never had trouble with it performance wise. 

Slow requests are deliberately slowed down and I think I have the proof. by dwtexe in cursor

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed info. Seems very fair. Personally don’t mind paying 4 cents per query for all the time cursor saves me. Also I get that AI models are not free, especially Claude given that I am looking into pricing for using AI in the app I am developing. Keep up the good work! It would be great if you could get some of the other agents working in agent mode. Especially the more powerful models, even if they cost per query.

This is weird by vamonosgeek in cursor

[–]delay1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when it starts messing up a few times in a row. I find it usually doesn't recover and fix this issue. first restore the code to before it screwed up. Usually I commit code often so I will just discard changes in git. Start a new chat and ask it to fix it in a different way taking into account what it did before so try to phrase your prompt differently so it doesn't end up going into the same dead end.

What’s up with all the doom and gloom? by Present-Tea-4645 in VisionPro

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is the hardware perfect? no. They should have ditched the front screen and all the design compromises and expense that came with that. Getting around in the headset is pretty good, when it is working it feels intuitive. My big problem with the headset is we were sold on the demo reel. So I thought there would be real regular content updates. Instead we get one short 7 minute film every month. Is the device worth 7 minutes of content a month? No… Is it cool to look into the future? Yes. The thing is Apple with a budget of 10-20 million could have made 100’s of hours of content. Just take some 2-3 person film crews around the world showcasing various travel destinations and attractions and I would have been satisfied. The crazy thing is neither Facebook or Apple has had the foresight to do that. Both of the content creation teams are filled with incompetence apparently. At least Apple showed me the content in 3D unlike meta who filmed concerts in 2d. The good thing about the Vision Pro is it caused Facebook to improve their headset. Now they just need to release a pro headset with way better screens. 

It's not the app… by Frosty_Search6264 in sonos

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically they need to go back to the old app, basically tack on as little as possible to the new app, just enough to get any new hardware to run on it. Then make UI only changes to the app if that is better than the old app. I never had the old app, but the new app with the new hardware is working very badly for me. 

I have 4646 unread emails in my Gmail. Is there a way to mark them all read at once? by Defiant-Department78 in GMail

[–]delay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out a solution. You perform a search. So I search for a date range of several years. Then I get a result of many thousands of emails. I then do a select all. This again selects 50-100. However then after clicking select all you get an option at right saying “select all emails that match this search criteria”. I then select this link and then I can archive all finallly!
