I got a BahnCard 25 for 3 months, and one month before it expired, it automatically renewed for a full year. Even though I canceled it, I still had to pay for the entire year.

I bought a train ticket to Austria, and they announced strikes just five days before my trip. They didn’t refund my money directly. I had to fill out a form in person at DB, and I only got 80% of the money back.

The trains are unreliable; they are often delayed.

If such apps exist, why aren’t they widely available?

The screenshot for my dashboard: https://ibb.co/2Vy5CRJ

Cursor Version: 1.2.4 (Universal)

The pricing and usage of tokens hugely changed recently. To test I gave a simple task to Cursor which would use a 192 line swift code, including comments. This file has 1213 tokens according to https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer .

Here is my prompt: "There is a bug when i click on a raw it plays the audio and it deletes it afterwards, even though without clicking the delete button."

The Cursor dashboard says it used 269,738 tokens, and records to usage accordingly. I am a pro plan user.

Is there anyone else having similar issues?

For simple, immediate-feedback cases like button clicks, the specific implementation becomes less critical.

Platforms like Reddit are excellent for complex discussions, but they’re overkill for simple queries like “What’s Michael Jackson’s age?” and not efficient for straightforward information needs. Your profile is tied to the questions you ask.

I am building a proof of concept that puts both the creation and ranking of information in the hands of users, supported by AI for speed.

AI will gather answers from various sources, offering a range of perspectives, articles. One answer per source, rather than unifying them into a single response. The World Wide Web is wonderful. Knowledge sources should remain distributed. People should visit the original source to get the full context.

Users can contribute their own answers and points of view, allowing others to see multiple perspectives and real world expertise.

Instead of algorithms deciding what ranks highest, the community will upvote or downvote answers. The best content will rise based on real user feedback, not hidden ranking systems.

Please let me know what do you think about it?

I submitted my iOS app to the App Store 4 weeks ago(14th Jan), and it's still "In Review." Attempts to get clarity from Apple haven't yielded much. I'm looking for advice:

Has anyone faced similar long review times? How did you handle it? Any tips for expediting the review or getting more info from Apple? Suggestions to avoid such delays in future submissions? Would really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thanks!

Go's strings package depends on the substring size tries different approaches like Rabin Karp algorithm, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin%E2%80%93Karp_algorithm)

I couldn't find a similar solution so building and experimenting on it.

Let me know what you think!
