Yup. Chargeback and disputes _hurt_ a lot. Even small amount of disputes might be enough for the payment processor to raise the handling rates which might translate in thousands of dollars of loss monthly. If you sent them an e-mail notifyi

You can count me as 1. The only Google service I’m using is Calendar and only because my employer requests it, google search from time to time when I need ambiguous search result (“the movie with woman in red dress on poster”). Not one post

Looks like one of the answers in the Twitter thread mentions that this might be cached content. Is this confirmed that the network call is actually being made (by router for example?). Cause later down the line it seems that pf blocks the c

Yeah, all that FUD and EEE strategy. I still hear in my head adapted saying that "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become Microsoft" (which is especially valid when one thinks about the big corps nowadays). Younger pe

Is it just me or is here a great amount of Wim Hof articles lately? I have this feeling that it appears at least twice a day and everybody praises it. Is it really that good?

Do you have any backings for that? I was curious about it and the only claims I found is some random GitHub report and comment made by you from the last year or so.

I am also happy user of Inoreader. The best feature it has is the ability to subscribe to the "global" feed. For example, when I'm waiting for some specific thing (like product launch or announcement) I can make a global sear

There's a LOT. https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/Epic-games-store-exclusives Counter-Strike was Half-Life mod, and Half-Life was developed by Valve, so it's still the same developer. And yes, the Epic is the f

Uhm but you’re aware that CS:Source was developed by Valve company behind the Steam? The same goes true for Unreal Tournament. You want to play it you install Epic installer. That’s fine point. Rockstar and Ubisoft have their own launchers

Epic introduced the concept of exclusivity on the PC gaming scene. Earlier Steam (which arguably is monopoly) provided option to buy games but those games could be distributed from outside - and many games did so. Right now Epic locks some

I just canceled Spotify membership I had for years for now. I don't have anything for Spotify or their fight with Apple. It makes sense. But on the other hand I refuse to help Epic in any initiative they take or to endorse companies th

That was my experience as well. Usually upgrading years old codebase to the bleeding edge took way less than expected. Webpack on the other hand is a different beast to handle and a challenge in itself.

For my defense it was probably more than 20 years ago. Lazyness is always a good excuse.

Interestingly enough, nothing like this happened to me, and I'm using exact same features as OP. Bad luck I guess. However, it reminds me about some other situation that I'd like to share as it amuse me to this day. Some time ago

Oh, I wrote my share of scripts in Perl and parsed logs too (I remember when analytics was all about parsing access logs). But I wouldn't think to organize survey like that. I'd put this in DB. _Crafting_ site to utilize this is s

I find it lesser evil. On one side it’s hidden analytics but on the other hand I find it much more superior to cookies that I carry around and which a lot of different entities can track. I do find way of voting on this matter very interest

Based on article they didn’t switch to Elixir but instead are using Rust within Elixir in order to solve complex performance issues.

You're totally right. My mom absolutely loves her phone and yearly, iterative upgrades are godsend to her. And that's why i think Apple went into other devices to please gadget-loving crowd, such as watch or headphones. I think th

I’m probably part of that crowd. As a geek I wanted to have the newest and the shiniest for years. But currently iterations are boring. There is no novelty. Since I’m the payer for the phones of my family if I don’t see the point there are
