I can’t put any numbers to this, but yes, it’s probably the case that as the ATV increases the dispute rate also increases, and probably particularly rare in the food service industry. In my experience it can be rare even with an ATV in the

On the other hand, you have to worry about disputes and chargebacks, of which you can only accumulate so many with your processor, and which also tend to have unfavorable outcomes for merchants. The pros may still outweigh the cons, but it’

Defining it succinctly is hard, but I’d describe ‘wokeism’ as a kind of opposite of ‘traditionalism’, or the belief that any traditional societal views & perspectives are necessarily detrimental.

I don’t know that I’ve heard anyone claim that C++ itself was a mistake, although there have obviously been many (acknowledged) mistakes made with C++. All things considered, for the time, given the paradigms we understood to be effective

An overly-simplistic explanation may be that most engineers don’t care about “how red a red is”, whereas most designers are super interested in their reds being very red. Both camps can be very vocal, but most of us probably hover around

Sounds interesting. Let’s call the markup language “Hypertext Markup Language”, and we’ll make it XML-like versus Markdown-like so we have at least have a well-designed spec to work with. It won’t be pretty, but it’ll work well enough. And

It’s not directly comparable. Svelte apps have an extremely minimal runtime, because Svelte compiles components into largely freestanding chunks of code. The benefit is that for smaller apps, SvelteKit can be extremely lean, but the cost gr

Agree with this. Iterating with Array.map and returning nodes to compose, say, unordered lists in JSX is most decidedly un-HTML-like. I can see the drawback to learning yet another templating language, and on this point I’d just say “to eac

I’ll vouch for chi here as well: if I’m building a Go web service and I really need to go one step above http.ServeMux, it’s the only library I consistently reach for.

One example that comes to mind is a GUI for interactive rebasing, which lets you re-order commits with a drag-and-drop interface. I’m thinking specifically of the one that (I think ) is included with the Git ReFlow VS Code extension. True,

Weirdly, this isn’t the first bias I’ve seen against the golden delicious — which is still one of my favorites — and excessive fawning over the honeycrisp. I suppose I don’t disagree with a lot of elements in the general order ranking, but
