• How to Form a US LLC as a Non-Resident (2026 Complete Guide)

  Banking and payment processor access. Stripe, PayPal, and most US processors require a US entity. An LLC with an EIN gets you into Mercury, Relay, Wise Business, and other neobanks that accept non-resident founders. See Mercury vs Wise vs Relay for a full comparison. For many founders, banking access is the real reason they form the LLC. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Sonos CEO Patrick Spence steps down after app update debacle

  Interestingly, Mercury [0] is VC-backed, and their backend is entirely Haskell. In an interview [1], their CTO mentions that it’s actually quite easy to hire for Haskell, as the demand is much lower than the supply, and, as he slyly puts it, “interest in Haskell acts as a decent proxy for baseline developer quality.” So while the pool is larger for JS/TS and Python, that may not always be beneficial.

• Haskell vs. Ada vs. C++ vs. an Experiment in Software Prototyping Productivity [pdf]

  I work on one of the largest Haskell codebases in the world that I know of (https://mercury.com/). We're in the ballpark of 1.5 million lines of proprietary code built and deployed as effectively a single executable, and of course if you included open source libraries and stuff that we have built or depend on, it would be larger. I can't really speak to your problem domain, but I feel like we do a lot with what we... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Privacy/secruity experience with RBFCU? (Randolph Brooks Credit Union)

  Not just a fintech front for a privacy dis-respecting bank (like Mercury business banking for example). Source: over 2 years ago

• The Meaning of Monad in MonadTrans

  Mercury (https://mercury.com/) uses Haskell extensively for pretty much all of its backend systems. It’s a great general purpose language. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• The History of HTTP

  HTTP/1.1 was first published as RFC 2068 (The Proposed Standard) in January 1997. HTTP/1.1 protocol was refined over two revisions, RFC 2616 published in June 1999 and RFC 7230-RFC 7235 published in June 2014 before the release of HTTP/2. The HTTP/1.1 standard (RFC 2616) remained stable for over 15 years. In 2022, HTTP/1.1 was updated again with RFC 9110 & RFC 9112. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• State management in Svelte apps

  HTTP was invented as a stateless protocol, which means that each request fully encapsulates all of the information necessary to return a correct response. So historically, web pages never had to worry about managing state - each request to a URL with parameters or with a form submission would receive a response with all of the HTML that the browser needed to render content. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Evolving the Web: Discovering the History of HTTP Versions

  HTTP/1.1 was such a game changer for the Internet that it works so well that even through two revisions, RFC 2616 published in June 1999 and RFC 7230– RFC 7235 published in June 2014, HTTP/1.1 was extremely stable until the release of HTTP/2.0 in 2014 — Nearly 18 years later. Before continuing to the next section about HTTP/2.0, let us revisit what journey HTTP/1.1 has been through. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Poll: Are client web requests sent to upstream servers or downstream servers?

  On the one hand, it just seems natural that "upstream" refers to the inbound request being sent from one system to another. It takes effort (connection pooling, throttling, retries, etc.) to make a request to an (upstream) dependency, just as it takes effort to swim upstream. The response is (usually) easy... Just return it... hence, "downstream". Recall the usual meaning of "upload" and "download". Upstream seems... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• How to cache TCP, SSL handshake on ALB?

  To me it sounds like you’ve not solved this as the config you’ve mentioned is about preventing “illegal” (none RFC7230 ) requests, it isn’t really related to the problem you posted. Source: over 4 years ago
