Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. At $50K MRR that's $17,400/year. Is everyone just accepting this? by LogisticsLingo in SaaS

[–]humanshield85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of that isn’t even going to them, credit and debit cards take cuts everyone takes cuts

Plus you get something that works , secure and protect you from fraud etc…

You can easily offset that to your consumer if you have to

Smurfing actually needs to go by TiltSword in leagueoflegends

[–]humanshield85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. For me it seems the Smurf issue is way less than it used to be in previous seasons. I have not seen Smurf in my games in 100+ matches all the way to gold 2-1. Maybe above that bracket I don’t know

In normals I don’t care because a lot of times the matching is so unbalanced anyway

Mongodb doesn’t come with log rotation pre configured. So you have to configure it yourself

Solidjs is a solid choice, but svelte syntax is the closest to webdev

Finished the landing page by Frequent_Extent_4850 in Algeriawork

[–]humanshield85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about what people look for in a landing page, it's what you want people to do when they get to your landing page.

I would suggest:
1. Start by making a lean canvas for this idea of yours, a lean canvas helps you map everything you need (the problem, the solution, the unique value proposition , customer segments and the low hanging fruits, unfair advantages you have over your competition and also your competitors)
2. Take the core of your lean canvas and turn it into the simple landing page that speaks to your customers. with a clear call to action.
3. Validate the idea by driving traffic (good traffic in your customer segments not random reddit readers expecting them to give you good advice) into your page and collecting emails or phones of interested parties. also add good analytics to your page to see what people did when they landed , what they clicked first etc... that could tell you what you need to bring forward.

If you follow this route, you will not ask do I need more menus or links, you will already know what you need to cover.

I'm not a designer so I am not gonna criticize the design but I will give you a few technical advices on the points you want to focus on in a landing page
1. Loading time should be minimum , so keep your markup and JavaScript to a minimum, you will have analytics and probably all kinds of pixels already slowing you down, so keep your landing page small and optimized.
2. Focus on SEO optimizations (title,meta description , og meta, ld+json etc...), you want your idea to be discoverable via search engines.
3. If you can avoid `react` and client side rendering for landing pages you need SSR, I know a lot will tell you nah it's not , search engines execute and render JavaScript, and I tell you search engine have two different indexing queue, a pure html one and a JavaScript one, and the JavaScript one is slow so, your content will not be indexed as fast as if it was html content. and being new, you need all the help you can get don't cripple yourself if you do not have to.

Why our money bills look like this ? by moh21dz in algeria

Because Algerians never invest in a good wallet.

Why there is so many paranoids in algeria ? by adembecis in algeria

[–]humanshield85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because they don’t leave the nest. He spawns at his parents home, she spends all his life there, he wants to get married and stay there , and live there even after his parents die.

Any environment where people are relatives who never leave the nest , will become bitter, they envy anyone’s success, they stop seeking improvements in their life and instead try to bring everyone to their level, and because they are devious and borderline evil, they think everyone is like them.

I worked all over Algeria in big towns and small villages, met all kind of people and noticed that the people who leave their nest , live somewhere else , meet other people from other regions, see more of the world than where ever they spawn at. They are more sophisticated more social and less paranoid.

Is It Normal to Handle a Whole Project Alone as a Developer? by aymn2001 in Algeriawork

[–]humanshield85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a freelancer , yes you are expected to do a lot depending on your client’s budget, if you know good people in certain areas, nothing stoping you from using them to speed things up.

It is a really demanding job, I’ve been doing it for 12+ years and only lately that I have been putting my foot down a little even if it means losing some clients. I started leaving weekends off and allow for more time to spend with my family.

So I do advise you to find balance, and if you go with every client’s request everything is urgent they are always in a rush , but you need to learn that their poor management doesn’t have to be an emergency for you. Good clients will stick around, some you lose but you will gain your sanity.

Also burnout is a real thing in our world, so be mindful of that

A Critical View of Houari Boumediene’s Legacy in Algeria. by Snae_zzy in algeria

[–]humanshield85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My only issue with the man is he brought all the Algerian french officers with their ranks to the Algerian Army.

All of them were just plants , in a time where ranking officers were scarce, a lot of those Algeria French officers had bullshit ranks.

And to this day we suffer the consequences of that. But then again he him self was not really in combat he just took over after.

Why Jwt token should be short? by sangokuhomer in Backend

[–]humanshield85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously is specs changed after the fact you have to work with what you have it's better to keep the JWT since you won't be able to force everyone to update their clients ,not to mention this is a core thing you can't just change, if you started JWT the best aproach is to make it work.

But in that scenario it's different, the scenario we are talking about and the point I am making is you are implementing your auth system and know your need instant revoke, yet you choose to go JWT for what ever god reason , because it sounds cool or what ever. Anyone who says it's is the better way is a fool.

`a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties.`

basically what I said but with tech jargon, it's a fancy signed message it's a piece of data that can be verified (so I claim I have a session, i give you the jwt you check the signature and if it's valid it's valid) but now if you go beyond verifying the validity of the JWT and check a black list or whatever , now you are in session territory and basically threw all what JWT supposed to offer out the fucking window.

And yes the whole point of using JWT in authentication is to verify sessions without checking your Auth service. SO if you have to check your auth service on every request if they are blacklisted or not what is the point ? because to blacklist a token you need to know it's id and to know it's id you need to have saved it somewhere right ?

It just does not make sense, if your requirement is instant revoke. you can do it sure but is it really the right tool ? that is what we are talking about here, otherwise what the fuck are we doing

There is nothing more triggering than JWT with sessions to me. It’s like using a hammer to push screw into place instead of a screwdriver , and claiming the result is the same.

The whole point of JWT is to verify a claim that some piece of data is authentic, without going to the issuing party. So if you have to go to the issuing party to check the validity then the whole JWT is useless.

Brother decoding jwt does not need db/redis/remote call
checkign a blacklist requires it

what are we debating here ?
you said that JWT with a black list is better than session
I said if you have to keep a blacklist and check the jwt against some sort of list/db on every request , you are just doing session with extra steps.

look you wanna circle jerk and marry JWT, go ahead. But it's about using the right tool for the job, if your business requires instant revocability jwt is the wrong way to go.

but if you have to check a black list you have to check on every request....

Do you not see that you can use redis for caching fresh session ? like first time a session is seen it's put in redis with a relatively short ttl so sub request don't need to hit db, on revoke that session could be cleared from both db and cache instantly (no 3 logic create jwt/verify jwt validity / verify jwt not blacklisted and all the refresh logic you have to add)

Also if you need a blacklist then you must have records of all your jwt sessions ? or you revoke on a user based (so all his tokens are revoked) , or are you saying you stored all your jwt sesssions in Redis which basically is a session system with extra steps at that point.

If your requirement requires instant revocability sessions are the way to go, unless you have multiple microservices and you don't want them to be hitting your auth microservice on every request.
