Yeah sorry, by foreigners I was mostly referring to tourists.

I just wish they would allow foreigners to use it as well. I live in Hong Kong and go to China quite often to visit friends, but it’s a pain in the ass to pay. Usually my friends pay for me, and I give them cash. The rest just split through

I agree, I might not use it, but it's a good example of a real world product that I can learn from. Quite often when I'm stuck on something, I look for OSS to see how they've done that particular thing.

I mostly think it's because Angular is the whole package, it comes with a set of standards and concepts that you have to stick too. Where React still kinda lets you do whatever you want, it has the concept of components, but other than

And for every way, there will be 10 people who will call you names for doing it this way, and that you should really do it another way. Just do whatever makes sense for you.

I've been doing the same, however I just SSH into it, pull my git repo and run a command to generate all static files.

I still read the news, just to stay up to date, but I gave up trying to engage in discussions about it. I still like discussing politics, but only with close friends who I've known for years, they won't blatantly disregard my opin

I really love reading things like this, on the other hand I also feel very demotivated seeing how difficult it is to earn money through a side project.

That’s a terrible metric in my opinion. Yes, removing redundant code or optimising code is important, but I wouldn’t want to be judged on it.

That's what that phrase means, people saying "hand over your phone" or "leave the door unlocked" or "livestream your life" completely missed the point, which doesn't even resonate with what the articl

I still don't understand what drove me to buying an Apple Watch years ago, I had to force myself to wear it, and it only brought more distractions. I ended up muting all notifications, so eventually it was just a dumb piece of tech on

Which is why I used "You say that as if...", because it would be very easy to interpreted your comment that way.

You say that as if everyone will be doing this. I believe there was only one case where a woman travelled through France and bragged about it online. People also hide drugs to get past airport customs / security, does that mean securit

I found it immensely frustrating, eventually my local colleagues got let go because it just wasn't working out (even though it's a HK office, we mostly worked with people overseas). There were plenty of other reasons why it didn&#

I've also seen this in HK. The team I worked in, used to work mainly with people in Singapore, my local colleagues just didn't know what to do with their manager not being in the office with them. Half of the time they would just

Also working in HK, everyone is encouraged to work from home. I’ve been going into the office since my company issued laptop just isn’t equipped for software engineering. Our company VPN was also down the entire day, so not sure how anyone

I think it all depends on what you use that data for. I have no problem with a developer tracking me throughout the app, as long as they use the data to improve their app. The same goes for crash reporting. But as soon as that data is sold,

by woutr_be 7y ago
I agree with the first bit; however it's hard to find a balance between accepting that your code can be improved, and standing by your solution. What I see in my team is that someone else has another solution, and whatever that is, sho

That's a lot of assumptions tho. My experience with online dating has been the same, however mostly it's; match with a person, exchange a few words, exchange numbers, move on to WhatsApp. Yes, I do need to go back, but the middlem

by woutr_be 7y ago
Correct, and if that maid is a match, you proceed. How is that different from a dating site? In theory they only have to match you with one other person. But my main point was; on dating sites the middle man is almost always cut out instant
508.
by woutr_be 7y ago
Don't people usually cut out the middleman on dating apps straight away? From my experience, after the initial connection, and before the first meet, you usually exchange numbers, and continue through anything else but the dating app.

I've always wondered how things like this work; how do you actually get all the routes and price information? Do you need to scrape every route on every possible data individually?

It's a good training ground to learn to control yourself for sure. But as soon as there's filtering and up- / down-voting, you'll quickly learn that none of that matters. I tried to engage in some Reddit discussions rega
