Same. I do occasionally get weird declines, but it's pretty rare. My Apple Card is the only one I reliably use and I've used it thousands of times since 2019, so I've got a pretty solid hit rate.

I've had the Apple card since it was launched and have had one or two fraudulent charges, they were trivially easy to resolve, everything occurred via iMessage for Business. I don't mean to diminish your negative experience, but i

There's also a lot of substance, though. AI tools are useful for real, shipping products today. Sure there's a lot of hype and people overselling their capabilities, but under the hood there's honest-to-god useful shit. Unlik

It's completely inappropriate to repurposes the word "slavery" for H1B visa holders. Sure, being tied to your current employer in a way that makes it hard leave is a terrible position to be in, but these folks are also well-c

At one point, I was fastidiously replacing the word "ask" with "request" in every Google Doc I had edit access too. I've since given up, it's just too overwhelming. For every "ask" I squash, there&#x2

Image you have a feature branch where you changed a block of code two times and are rebasing that branch onto main, where that block of code was also changed. During the rebase, you'll need to resolve that conflict twice. If you had me

How do you correct the following commit history? 1. New function & unit tests 2. Switch existing code to use new function 3. Whoops, new function broke some existing code 4. I guess I need to fix tests too 5. Speli

That's true, but merge conflicts are the easiest possible conflicts to resolve. Main branch and my branch both changed this line, no matter what, you must resolve that conflict. Rebase conflicts might be just as easy or they might be a

> I have never understood the "squash a branch to one commit before merging" attitude. I prefer small commits, both during code review and later, during looking into repo history (which is needed once in a while) or bisecting.

First, my feature branch commit history is always fragmented and unusable. I commit extremely liberally, every few minutes if I'm actively making changes. Why not? If I always squash before I merge, nobody seems my junk, and being able

Rebasing isn't that hard, but you also spent 8 paragraphs explaining it. Explaining merging just takes one paragraph: Copy all the changes from the main branch into my branch, if someone changed the same line that I changed, then creat

The 718g last a week though, so it's more like $2 for a 5lb bag of seeds. I have no frame of reference for how reasonable that is, but it's more reasonable than $.25/5lb bag.

IMHO, this is a perfect little example of why so much blockchain/crypto/NFT stuff is silly. a) Everything you mentioned here can already be done with just a database. Trading a hotel room, rescheduling, swapping across chains, etc

I'm not arguing in bad faith here, every nefarious action that people in these comments suspect TikTok may do someday, is currently being done today, by American companies, in service of foreign interests and corporate interests.

In the same way Shell targets[1] the youth and attempts to change/form their views to be favorable to fossil fuels. I still don't understand how TikTok is doing anything worse than what any other popular American-based social plat

As this whole situation evolves, I'm interested to see what the Democrat's strategy is. Are they hoping to throw the House GOP into chaos, because if so, it seems to be working pretty well. Before today, I kind of assumed they&#x2
