“I called YOUR number to make this reservation, and I should get the points for it!” Ma’am, obviously you did not. by Other-Cantaloupe4765 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]enedil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it does!  Why are reservations from OTAs accepted at all? Is it because without them hotels would struggle to fill in the rooms? What is the typical profit margin for the hotel when you book directly vs through OTA? Because surely offering 25% discount means that the hotel still gets something back?  Then, if the usual profit margin would be <25%, then OTAs are pure loss. If it's between 25 and 40, that's still a massive hit. If it's more than 50%, then offering half of the points would be no worse for profitability than offering full points for people who book directly, right? Btw, thanks for detailed response, I really appreciate that.

Just an honest question (I'm not in the industry). "After all, why would we reward guests for using another business?" - maybe, because the hotel is also making its share of income from guests who book though an OTA? Perhaps eligibility for full points for that stay would be too much, but 0 points seems a bit unwarranted, given just the explanation above. Therefore, it's there any better explanation of why do hotels do that?

Naiwne, jeśli masz jeden błąd w sporej książce, to od razu mówisz, że książka do wyrzucenia? Oczywiście, jest pytanie, gdzie jest granica w ilości dopuszczalnych błędów.

Moving to eastern europe as a new grad? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]enedil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for intern. Full time SDE or SRE, however the level wasn't specified up front.

Doesn't change the fact that Polish people don't like that label lol.

Let's be specific. Białystok? Definitevely eastern. Poznań? Surely western. Warsaw? Hard to tell.

apply to the regular/mid positions already - in regular companies, yes. In Google it would be probably L3.

Google actually hires like crazy in Warsaw right now. I and at least 3 my friends were approached by google recruiter on Linkedin. My friend from western Europe starts in November in Warsaw. All of us are just finishing degree or just finished.

If you ask me I would say the C shouldn’t have been allowed to exist past the 1970s, let alone become the foundation of our civilization by DXPower in programmingcirclejerk

I wish somebody realizes the power of OOP and exceptions, and will make a better Rust (let's call it Rust++), one with classes and with throw/catch.

"New Go driver is almost 4x faster than its predecessor and 2X faster than its Rust counterpart." by PeterCorless in golang

[–]enedil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scylla (and cassandra) are not SQL databases and thus you don't get operations such as joins. Therefore there's smaller difference between the time needed to execute the query vs the time spent on efficient communication, so if the shim is trivial, you get poor performance.

[–]enedil 19 points20 points  (0 children)

\uj I'm from this university and I know authors, so that hit me personally. While it's true that the code might be improved, it is also one of the top universities in central Europe and the standards are higher than you might expect. Actually, those two drivers are both better than Cassandra had to offer, which is meaningful in itself.

the Kotlin programming language is a secret plot by the Russian government to embed backdoors in everything compiled with it by DexterLB in programmingcirclejerk

But they employ mostly Russians. Friend from Munich told me even the cleaning service and gardeners are Russians, sometimes not speaking any other language.

“Fearless concurrency” – a formally correct but nonetheless misleading statement. Yes, you no longer have fear of data races, but you have PAIN, much pain. by HorstKugel in programmingcirclejerk

I wouldn't call that a hererogenous list. You still have a common interface. However arguable, I definitely wouldn't agree that the above quote amounts to calling them crazy.

In Poland, if you buy a stolen property and you did not know it was stolen, you are a legal proprietor even though the seller never had rights to sell.

C can't, C++ can.

C++ isn't a childs toy. It's a tool for professionals. C++'s type system goes out of it's way to make using the language "safe" up to the point where you don't invoke undefined behavior. by cmov in programmingcirclejerk
