(I also work on Stripe's API and dashboard.) I actually find it more interesting that quite a few of the obviously copied bits aren't even really worthy of copying if you're already going through the effort of building…
Here's the full list of cards we let you use for testing, including some that trigger specific responses: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards
Thanks for the catch. Fixed now!
I'm a woman and a developer at Stripe. I don't see how welcoming women as well as men into the engineering -- and every other -- team at our company can reasonably be called "lying" or "dishonest." No, we can't…
We certainly understand that for some specific billing situations, Stripe's subscriptions API may not be a good fit. That said, we've tried to accommodate as many use cases as possible, and I just wanted to make sure…
Congratulations from another fairly new programmer. :) One UI suggestion: I find it clunky when a site forces me to choose from price ranges that don't overlap (e.g. $5 to 10, $10 to $15, etc.). Generally people making…
Many of the included apps (like NYTimes, Amazon, etc.) have Chrome Web Store apps that are separate from their regular websites. (Of course, it's debatable whether these app versions are preferable to their standard…
Thanks for the feedback. The date mixup was a typo that somehow escaped our notice despite several re-readings, but good point about reminding users what the service is. That you yourself think about your product daily…
We have plans to expand the available widgets and to let you make your own.
The whole app is written in Cappuccino. To be more precise, that canvas is a custom CPView. :)
As Saikat said, I use Textmate. There are decent bundles available for Objective-J/Capp. I'd also add that you should use Webkit (specifically Safari) when profiling Cappuccino apps for the best results.
I'd recommend reading through some of the comments on http://www.metafilter.com/85667/Hi-Whatcha-reading for some perspectives on how men and women experience the world very differently in many cases. While the general…
I'm a female co-founder (Mockingbird - http://www.gomockingbird.com). My co-founder is a guy. We interviewed with YC last year, though we didn't end up getting funded. Best of luck with weddingtype and your application;…
At Harvard at least people didn't like that the male final clubs (which are no longer affiliated with the university) predated all other clubs by many years and came to own prime real estate in Cambridge. It's near…
Radiolab's "Stress" episode (http://www.radiolab.org/2007/apr/09/) mentions rat studies in which experimenters made rats sick by subjecting them to extreme physical stressors (cold, treadmills, forcing them to swim for…
However, the problem isn't the medium or the message, it's us. Unless you're claiming that people themselves have fundamentally changed, I don't see how the medium gets absolved of responsibility. The medium influences…
Heh, I was talking about my 17-year-old self, not my 17-year-old child (a terrifying thought). My point was more that a lot of advice has a catch-22-ish quality in that only experience makes its truth sink in, by which…
If you wouldn't recommend Lehrer, what would you recommend?
I wonder if there is a way to bring realizations born of other people's experiences home in any meaningful way. I sometimes think about what advice I'd give my 17-year-old self if I had to attend college again, but I…
He's saying it's better than the first option: pursuing a business that requires a very high percentage of quality employees in order to have any chance of succeeding.
Have you employed this tactic?
Extremely well executed. My only quibble is the name, which makes me think of Batista or Zapatistas. I could be the only one, though.
You may be right about the target market, but it's not fair to say it's just a cube. It's had its corner lobbed off, and it's off-kilter. Those changes aren't simple; the result completely lacks the self-contained…
Yes, for all the emphasis about separating structure and style, I think the piece misses the bigger problem: the difficulty of changing that structure while you're writing. The author says "first one types one's text…
Or it could be fast driving, not fast cars, that increases testosterone levels (the difference between highway and downtown driving in both the Porsche and the Camry group seems to suggest that possibility) -- and…
