Oh my. Guilt tripping me? hahah

I'm checking it out. I'm not sure how I'll decide if I find two that are
good. Flip a coin perhaps?
How did you know they are in Perth?

They seem a tiny bit more expensive. 3% instead of 2.9%.
C# support page shows a library on github. Not sure if that's a good or bad
thing...

   Simple is good.

 I did get an email from someone at eway who mentioned that its not
 necessary to get bank set up before using eway account. Might still need it
 down the track, will investigate.

  Straight out PIN is much simpler - business model and API, it¹s quite
 similar to stripe in the US. Its been a while but last time I checked you
 still need a merchant account for Eway, if I was Œbootstrapping¹ a
 business today that was going to deliver a slick experience with minimal
 cost upfront - I¹d be using PIN.

 Eway has been around for a long time - they¹re very good, and I¹ve
 supported their platform for a long time (registering COM components etc
 on win2k) - they¹re great if you have a bricks and mortar business already
 with a merchant account.

 They also appear to have turned into the Godaddy of payments here, without
 being cheap.

 Hi Jorke ,
 
 I've just read your part about eway,  Can you be more specific what you
 didn't like about eway  api?  I'm just curious,  because I haven't found
 it difficult or not working.  I'll have a look at your recommendation.
 
 Thank you
 Jiri

 I use Pin and its really good ­ started out with Spreedly in the US which
 was for subscription management, (at that time the PG was worldpay ­ I
 cannot recommend against them enough - but was best option at the time
 for AUD and USD billing) - Pin acquired spreedly ­ an AU company
 acquiring a US company ­ weird eh?
 
 They have a really nice API and billing in USD to your US account ­ and
 their fees are pretty reasonable. Much better all round experience for a
 developer than eway/paypal

 I've never used one, but there was a bit of hype around PIN
 (https://pin.net.au) when it launched.

 Hey all,
 
 Hope good Easter is being had by all :)
 
 I'm going to need some kind of payment gateway and would love to know if
 anyone has any good/bad experiences with them.
 
 Looking for something that deals with Australian banks, as well as has a
 good .Net friendly API.
 
 Have been looking at what eWay can do but don't want to rush in with the
 first I've come across without some research.
 
 cheers,

What's a million lines of code worth?

2014-04-22 Thread Paul Evrat
Hi All,

 

Collins Class Submarine - 6 million lines of code.

 

Joint Strike Fighter - 19 million lines of code.

 

Seems plausible OR Over-bloated software development mismanagement ??

 

Not saying one way or the other, just interested in your professional
gut-feels ?

Considering that there are a number of systems it doesn't seem that many.
Do they include the unit tests? There are unit tests aren't there in the
missile launch systems!

19,000,000 million lines of code for 21,000,000,000 dollars for 58 planes
averages out at about $19 per line. Now there's some incentive to code
fast. But I enjoy deleting lines of code as well, I wonder if they pay for
that -- *Greg K*

19 trillion lines of code? That is impressive.

I have read somewhere in the media before that TDD is not even being used
for the F35's development.
I thought writing something so complex without it would be crazy, myself.
Not that TDD is a silver-bullet, but in my experience it does make a
substantual difference to quality.
Hopefully they have some sort of automated testing process in place.

They may have other tricks as well. While they're probably using the Ada
programming language (which is known for its robustness), simple things
like making variables immutable by default can help reduce side effects -
especially in concurrent systems (which I'd imagine the F35 probably is)
since the precise order of execution is not known.
