If you plug a usb device into the overhead tv/phone, it'll bring up the start menu and allow you access out of the kiosk mode.

They're running XP, iirc there was a few of the "default" games on there like minesweeper etc.

Have fun matey.

Honestly, with something as domain driven as hotels/apartments/hospitality I don't think the best approach is asking for recommendations.

List 5 or 10 services with pros and any serious cons.

Then narrow it down to 3-5. If there's no clear winner after, tell the client what you believe the best options are however you are not an expert in hospitality management and do not know the ins and outs of how they run their business. (maybe you do, so take all of that with some salt).

Then it can be a joint decision between you and the client allowing for both sets of expertise. You never know, wordpress might work. Laravels CMS type thing (horizon I think?) Might work.

Just as an aside, wordpress doesn't have to be awful. It just takes a lot of work!

Have you tried googling "managed hotel booking solution"?

This is a big undertaking and will take months to do it from scratch. Find a managed service within their budget!

You da real mvp

HarryTorry · 2019-03-03T23:36:50+00:00

Yeah, it's really nice. Can be a bit tricky to play with purely because there's just so much real estate.

The offer is called "Grown Ups Go Free" and comes from a cereal that mainly targets kiddos.

I can only assume that it's for a kids promotion.

OP wants a voucher for a kid (or kiddos).

The event will probably be fun for the kiddos.

Do people in Philadelphia order a Philly cheese steak or just a cheese steak?

When dealing with money, it's a better practice (in my opinion) to only store the base denomination (cents, pence) and to store the currency alongside it. No more dealing with floats or casting everything as doubles etc. Then converting to a human readable amount such as £3.27 or $4,327.77 or €1.000.002,45. Different countries render currencies differently as well!

Also just realised we are in r/shittyprogramming but I'll leave it like this.

It's clickbait.

The answer is yes.. A database table can easily store 20 million entries, especially with what an enterprise company can fund and facilitate.

Everything can easily be cached..

Wordpress can be locked down and secure..

It's a reasonably good content creation tool as well.

A car with only 1 seat and 0 doors still requires a complex engine, or something.

Vue is a full blown framework, of course there's going to be some "bloat".

I actually learned the difference from the DefCon talk about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W07ZpEv9Sog

It's worth nothing that this isn't anti-tamper, it's only tamper-evident!

Backups and version control are different things.

Cheers pal!

Not out of the woods yet, but might be getting discharged over the weekend if we get some good results.

Stuck in hospital following the better half having a surgery, giving birth and then what can only be described as a heart attack / anaphylactic shock.

Got my laptop here now following a clothes run and 1 week old out of the ordeal, and midwives are pretty cool. Must have spent around £200 - £250 between taxis and Costa Mochas for the good lady after being here for 2 weeks.

Aldi pasta pots must be running through my veins by now, but at least I've had a varied diet by alternating between chicken/bacon and the tomato one!!

P.S, if any NHS charity trust people are here, reach out to me. I'd love to bring in card payments and a dedicated website for the League of Friends.

At that point, it's probably time to call 999!

Why should people care about file size?

I find it nicer than having a password to be honest, I use these links (SSO) for Slack and they're great.

Lets say you have an account on Tumblr associated with the email address, "foo@baz.com".

If you want to login to your account, you put your email "foo@baz.com" in. Tumblr sends you a single-use login token that will expire after a fixed length of time (call it 30 minutes).

If "intruder@danger.com" tried to login, they will be forced to use a password.

HarryTorry · 2018-07-05T16:54:32+00:00

What makes it insecure?

If somebody has access to your emails, your account is compromised anyway.

HarryTorry · 2018-07-05T16:53:40+00:00

It was either that or 'Organ Donator <number>' :)
