I stuck with WinForms and complemented it with DevExpress since their first release and never looked back.

I still think WinForms is one of their best UI framework. As for WPF, intentionally avoided it since day one. I’m not fiddling with no XAML.

This one caught me by surprise. Publisher is a really great tool to create internal documents…reminds me of the Adobe Fireworks fiasco. They force you to use a tool of which you only need 5% and pay an increase cost (time and subscription) 500%.

I mean, Powerpoint, really? That app should’ve been gone a long time.

yes, Recharge is strictly Shopify, although the do allow some custom integrations.

It has always been so since the dawn of modern desktops. I don’t see how/why this is noise. This is like a developer at a standup insisting we can make the app faster adding some micro services, flashy UX, and a few months of work while the - end user will still enter 20 order changes in an 8 hour day because that’s the environment.

What will you gain from removing the icons?

This is like a Stripe wrapper? Similar to Recharge Payments… the flow looks identical, well almost.

Wtf! I’m certain this entire stack was reviewed by low level outsourced contractors.

To the person below whining that BK should’ve had more time…absolutely not! Users have a right to know. No effort was made to protect the data. None.

Action needs to be taken. The company contracted to build this stack should be replaced asap! Including the CISO.

CEOs, CMOs and marketers prioritize the “abandoned cart”. It’s just business.

You are not the only person that will own the house you live in, that’s essentially what permits and regulations are for, to ensure the next owner isn’t saddled with a stupid decision made by the previous homeowner. Roof inspections are particularly important in places with snow load or hurricane force winds.

That’s what home inspectors are for at the time of purchase. And even if I choose to replace the roof myself - the city is free to inspect according to their ordinances. What I disagree with is that you MUST use their approved contractors.

And the prorated nonsense is simply mathematical fraud.

I think the elephant in the room is fraudulent claims. Majority of the claims filed is related to over-priced contractors. Pick any city, pick any house - old, new, big, small, tiny - the average roof replacement is 4x-5x the cost!

I know of multiple cases where the adjusters send in claims that are 50% to 90% of the actual repair cost. This is the REAL problem. Not hurricanes. It’s the fucking fraud.

I think the only option to combat this is to give home owners the right to fix things like roof themselves…why do I need a city permit, why do I need a fraudulent contractor permitted ONLY by the city (I don’t want the city looking out for me…that’s always their BS argument…leave that to me). I should be able to shop the supplies myself.

Here’s another exercise - pick any city in FL - try to buy roofing materials yourself.

The point is - Fraud is the biggest problem with homeowners insurance in the state of FL.

It was rad!

Guyana is considered part of the Caribbean because they speak 100% English…well creole English (broken English) to be precise.

Just like American Indians, the natives there are called Amerindian.

There’s also a huge Dutch history…dating back to the 1600 if I remember correctly.

WOW! It’s amazing to see Guyana mentioned on HN.

If you rally want to know Guyanese, get invited to one of our parties. Fun and down-to-earth folks…well most, some can definitely carry a massive ego seed.

If you haven’t met anyone in tech - greetings! A pleasure to meet you. 20 years building successful companies and products in the USA.

Wakenaam - Dutch - “Waiting for a name”.

If I have to book a call with an expert just to test…it’s a total waste of my time for both personal and enterprise. MQTT lives…old-ish, faithful and reliable. It’s easy to setup - personal and enterprise. It’s scalable. I can pub and sub…that’s all we’re asking of it.

I love the product. I love the service. HOWEVER, I’ve been doing this for a while to know that at some point, Stedi will bought…Stedi will be sold (notice my ordering of bought/sold) and the product and service will become another complicated and expensive mess.

This is great! It might be nice to see - dragging the slider increase/decrease by 15 mins (current) and tapping should increase/decrease by 1 min.

Nice work. How about X12 to XML and X12 to JSON?
