My first thought/question as well.


How do you ensure this? Are you suggesting more analysis pre-building the product, or doing things like increasing the price until you've effectively filtered out enough of the people you don't "want to deal with", assuming that works.


To be fair, it seems like the cloud development environment choice was driven by the scale of Stripe's organization.


Any other Simon Lizotte and/or disc golf fans here? :D


Hah, that is much fewer than I would have expected.

Too bad you can't do the same with phone numbers.


How would you rate the quality of the dubs?

Do you think it's usable for learning? Seems like you could end up with some quirky learnings.


Not OP, but I agree that this could lead to questionable learning outcomes, especially since Whisper isn’t that good for low-resource languages. It’s probably fine for languages like English/Spanish/Mandarin, though.


Wenn ist das nun Stück gitt und Schlottermeyer.


Oh cool, how would you compare this to DuckDB?


+1 for a reference to The Culture series :D


Clicking on the link without knowing what it was ahead of time was jarring, even not actively participating.


Not for me, at all. Do you generally avoid eye contact?


Lol no not generally ;)

Just did not expect to be gazing into the windows of someone's soul immediately. The widescreen monitor may have contributed.


Beautiful.

----------------------------

This controller is intentionally written in a very verbose style. You will notice:

1. Every 'if' statement has a matching 'else' (exception: simple error checks for a client API call)

2. Things that may seem obvious are commented explicitly We call this style 'space shuttle style'. Space shuttle style is meant to ensure that every branch and condition is considered and accounted for - the same way code is written at NASA for applications like the space shuttle.

This bit reminds me of exhaustive checks in typescript code. I try to use them all the time.

The newer `satisfies never` is great for this purpose. It’s also convenient with if else chains if that’s more one’s style.



Hah, years of writing ts for various contracts and I had no idea that never could be used like this. Thanks!
