I think the problem is that for a huge hotel chain (say like the Marriot) to get hit with enough chargebacks that a credit card vendor drops them, it means that a huge amount of people would need to charge back and be willing to be banned from Marriot until something happens. Kind of like a union, if you're the first to strike or protest, you suffer until enough momentum happens to make a difference.

Echoing that this has not been my experience either. I and my household use Firefox exclusively at home and at work for the last decade and I rarely have a website not work on Firefox but on Chrome. At least not work to the point that I noticed it. Sure maybe some websites looked ugly but tons of websites were ugly and I didn't think it was because it was Firefox.

I've had poetry take so long that I've just deleted the whole cache/poetry list and reinstalled the packages rather than wait for poetry to figure out whatever dependency hell it found itself in. I switched to uv the minute i tried it out

I think you're underestimating how "fast" uv really is. It's night and day different. The sentence that got me to switch and I echo still was: "uv is so fast, I sometimes don't even think it's actually doing anything". The first time I used it, I had to actually double check if uv actually was working and installing the packages that it was saying it was. There's a lot of reasons I've heard not to use it that kind of (not really) make sense (you don't want another package manager, you're happy with just base pip, etc). But if you're already using poetry, you really should just switch. uv is just poetry but without any waiting.

Even your most complicated projects should be able to switch within a day. The only reason I took any time was having to restructure my docker containers to work with uv instead of poetry. And that's mostly with my inexperience with docker, not because uv is complicated.

I mean maybe but if you told me you could take my code that runs in less than a second and make it more readable but it would take 30 minutes to run instead . . . hell no I'm not taking you up on your offer. I'll just comment and document the existing solution better and call it a day.

Weren't they already getting 0% since Epic snuck IAP outside of Apple's system into their app to bypass Apple's requirements? So Apple had no choice but to ban them. You're implying that by not kicking fortnight off the store, they'd still be getting 30%

Just checked my discord client right now and it's using Chrome 69 through Electron 4.0.8. Haven't had a chance to check a desktop version of Slack yet.

I think you should rules about it at the workplace. At mine, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've seen an @here. And one of them, the person was told he shouldn't have done it since it wasn't important. Really makes everything think before they use it.

I would recommend Panorama Tab Groups over Panorama View fyi just because panorama view doesn't see a lot of maintenance in recent months. They're still there, but in hibernation so they don't get new features right now.

https://github.com/projectdelphai/panorama-tab-groups

full disclosure: I'm the maintainer for Panorama Tab Groups right now so I am slightly biased. I do think photodiode and the guys in charge of Panorama View are way better than I am at this, but since they're not active right now, I've created a fork so I can have a more up to date add-on

You can kind of do this with firefox's panorama tab groups. It's not perfect, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless

except reddit wasn't exactly created for the mainstream community either. it just turned out that way. the reddit admins don't exactly have an incentive to cater to everyone, I mean help their giving away stock because they want to not because someone's telling them to or cause it'll profit them (although it might in the long run with PR and all)

I'm been working on providing a service to recommend manga. The only other existing alternatives are myanimelist and mangaupdates and I feel my project has a greater potential to be more comprehensive, up to date, and personalized.

http://mangarecs.herokuapp.com

explanation and writeup:

first writeup: https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/2eejdt/rmanga_heres_...

second writeup: https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/2fhlfl/rmanga_mangar...

There's definitely been some changes since then, so a third writeup is in the works. I know this project isn't very polished or professional, but it's something that I've wanted to work on for a long time and I feel that it solves a very niche problem in an interesting way.

The best way to start learning programming? Linux.

Do you consider Bitlbee with IRSSI a hack? I use that and it works fine for me.
