• Self hosted billing platform

  Hi, I own a small online business and was wondering if anything knew of a good online billing platform, hosting for recurring payments. I saw one online (killbill.io) but I was wondering if there was any other alternatives around. Thanks! Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: List of Stripe Alternatives

  Great list, thank you. One option is to always have more than one payment processor activated. Splitting payments across providers early on doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There are libraries focused in billing and payment management and leaving the payment processing only to stripe, etc. These libraries that can handle multiple payment providers and help reduce dependency on the a single payment provider for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Kill Bill – Open-Source Subscription Billing and Payments Platform

  Submitted the github link because I couldn't find it from their marketing site: https://killbill.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Stripe has decided to nuke my entire business

• Ask HN: How to design database schema for usage based billing?

  I know it feels like overkill, but I’d recommend either outsourcing (even Stripe has usage-based billing if you can keep your updates under 100/s) or using something off-the-shelf like https://killbill.io. I know it seems like a simple problem, but billing systems quickly turn into Eldridge horrors even if you have the best intentions and it’s always nicer to have someone else to maintain that for you. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What would an ideal language for teaching new programmers be like?

  Someone else in a comment mentioned Quorum language, which I've watched a video/conference talk about before and seems to be a language designed around an evidence-based approach to teaching programming. The video I watched (can't find it right now) was mostly focused on syntax, such as which keywords are easiest for beginners to pick up. That doesn't seem like the biggest deal to me (people learn and re-learn... Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Scratch for a Blind Child?

  The Quorum programming language was originally designed for blind children. The language scope has expanded to appeal to all children. https://quorumlanguage.com/ Although the language is not widely known, the language creator posted to Hacker News in 2018: > Hi all, this is Andreas Stefik (I invented Quorum)....First, people saying Quorum was originally designed for blind children are correct. Originally, we were... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Kids don't need tools for kids

  > I can't deny that there's something there that makes [Scratch] more accessible than other platforms Not for blind kids. Yes, maybe I bring up that kind of accessibility too often, but using the word "accessible" was just asking for it. :) And seriously, that matters in a public school environment. Fortunately, using a haphazardly designed mainstream language like JavaScript isn't the only alternative. Check out... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Features of a dream programming language: 2nd draft.

  Names: No alias names in the language or standard library, except for in documentation. Inspired by Python ("explicit over implicit", "one way over multiple ways"). Counter-inspired by Perl (postmodern plurality) and aliasing in the Ramda library. All things tend toward disorder, as programmers it is our job to Fight Entropy. The language should favor one consistent vocabulary, since it increases predictability... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Which is the best language for learning programming?

  Arguably neither of them is any better, if you’re just trying to understand the basic concepts of imperative programming. There’s languages out there specifically designed for learners that probably do a better job of introducing those concepts to complete neophytes. Sadly this is not a well studied area with a lot of quantification, so universities tend to make the decision based more on political and economic... Source: almost 3 years ago
