Everything in your first paragraph usually flies at a typical suburban Courtyard Marriott in the USA. However your story took place at a 5000-room megaresort in Las Vegas, where security has to be much more serious. Most visitors appreciate

It's all good. I opened up a can of worms at the start by expressing doubt, it was all kind of a joke but as we all know, text on a screen lacks expression.

How is identity verified in Europe? Every hotel I've checked into there wanted a passport.

"escorted to my room" is entirely different than the story described here. And "other hotels/resorts" don't have over 5000 rooms and thousands of additional visitors to the casino, clubs, shows, restaurants, wh

As I mentioned, there are numerous parts of the story that don't add up. The MGM Grand, as I stated, has over 5000 rooms, a random front desk agent would not be able to verify identity by describing the layout of one specific room (nor

The MGM Grand is massive, over 5000 rooms. It's about a 1/4 mile from self park to the front desk. Nobody "pops" anywhere in that building. Also, who drives without ID?

If MGM refuses to pay up then it must have confidence that they have sufficient backups and can get everything up and running again. I had (still have) serious doubts that they have the expertise and discipline (as well as all the vendor sy

I'll be fine, thanks. The context from allenrb is that casinos have no value to society, so that eliminating them (and therefore all the related jobs) is not a loss to anyone. That includes the employees you are referring to in your co

Your opinion is valid, however I'm currently on a plane heading there, likely a third of the passengers won't be able to check into their hotel. Same with dozens of planes. Kinda sucks for them.

Casino-based attacks aren't really because the casino has a lot of money around. 1) they have large, very detailed databases with extensive customer records (photos of drivers licenses, for example) that can are desirable on black mark

The companies themselves are not owned by VICI, the land and properties are, and Caesars and MGM (and other casino operators) pay VICI rent.

Appreciate the suggestion. Even if it helps SEO it degrades the user experience (extra clicks before getting to the actual job listing) and a lot of resources (already sending a somewhat large payload to the client). The source listings the

Not hostile at all, and we arent degrading the user experience -- much improving it, in my opinion. With HTMX you can do real-time validation on each input element on the server and provide instant visual cues to the user anytime one fails.

Damn, for a second I thought this was like weedmaps but for linguini (which would be an awesome site) and then I looked a bit closer. Still cool though!

I see it as much more, many things can be stripped out altogether. Client-side state management. Client-side input validation. Fallbacks for when data hasn't been loaded yet. Less async-based code, less coordination-required and event-

Not a valid excuse, dude. You have every right to be skeptical or to avoid "bleeding edge" but to assume the whole thing is just a front to raise someone's speaking/blogging/social media profile, to buzz in from now

With a little creativity, HTMX can enable some extremely UX-friendly interactive sites. Keep in mind that it makes it trivially easy to entirely swap out small, or large, sections of a web page. So things that used to be standard boring for

There was a gap between the beta expiring and me reaching out and requesting an update, which you supplied. I think the first replacement also expired and we had to make another request but I could be wrong, I'm no longer at that compa

Our initial purchase was made while v2 was in beta and with a promise of a free upgrade to the final v2, which was expected soon. Except it was never released, until now.

That's your opinion, and it's ok, but my employer bought the business version (4.5 whataburgers), and it bought multiple licenses (about 20 or 25 whataburgers, where's the tipping point?), plus I personally spent a lot of tim

ModernCSV is a good tool. However, from the viewpoint of a paying customer, it feels too much like a side/hobby project and that you aren't taking it all that seriously as a business. The v2 beta was announced in May 2022 with ind
