This app is supposed make the ordering experience quick easy and convenient. It doesn't , it makes it harder & doesn't work at all . First time I tired to order my partners credit card was linked to the app - ordered within app while at home - got to the restaurant- app didn't know I was there - even on full signal 4G - connected to McDonald Wi-Fi same eventually location picked up by the app - tired to make payment -error message " there has been a problem with your payment " called my partner to make sure there was no issue with the card - tried again 3X still same .then staff member knocked on my window and handed me a bag with one burger -not my order -still hadn't gone through on the app.
Placed order inside in the end on self serve machines .
Ordered using app for the first time, appeared to go through fine. Arrived at McDonalds & app couldn't tell we were there, using either full strength 4G or their own WiFi. Tried drive thru who couldn't access order & sent us inside. Queued for ages while retrying the app which connected and let me pay just as I reached the front of the queue, then gave an error. Showed app to staff member and was required to pay for order again at the till. Ordered was prepared by three people who seemed utterly confused and it was brought out on trays without bags or cup holders, because it had been marked as an instore order (even though I had requested take out). Got it bagged up & took it to the car, food was cold by the time we ate it. Checked my credit card app and have 4 pending payments for the order, one for zero but three separate transactions for the full amount. Staff member said the app ordering has been problematic since it was installed, and they've only had one day of it working. Great idea but very poorly executed, won't bother using it again unless reviews improve. McDonalds should pull the ordering functionality from the app until it works consistently.
Crap but good money maker.
We used the app for the first time last Sunday. My husband ordered the food at home and his card details and drove to McDonalds. He got to the car park and paid as per instructions tell you to. 3 times it came up as failed so he went to the window at the drive though to be told he had no order. He drove home collected his wallet and went back and tried it for the 4th time still come up as failed so he was asked to go into store. He went in and was told it wasn't going though for some reason & he would have to do the order instore with the college. Which he did and he was given our food. I checked the bank and the 4 orders had come out of our bank plus instore order. £68 for breakfast is a bit excessive so we rang the branch and we had to go back with the bank statement and they would refund us. Which they did £49 back to us. The Tuesday came and I noticed the bank had cancelled the transactions and gave us our £49 back as well. So £49 profit from a crap app wasn't all that bad in the end, just about covers the petrol we used driving back and forth to the restaurant. App is now deleted complete waste of time and effort.

CNN: Pilot in deadly plane crash had no experience landing 777 in San Francisco
8 July, 2013 By Karen Ejecutiva Magazine
The cockpit voice recorder of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 appears to show the pilots tried to abort the landing less than two seconds before the plane crashed on the runway at San Francisco International Airport.
Miami, 8th of July 2013 (CNN). The pilot of the Asiana Airlines plane that crashed in San Francisco on Saturday was making his first landing with a Boeing 777 at San Francisco International Airport, the airline said.
But it wasn't his first time flying to San Francisco.
The pilot, Lee Kang-gook, had flown from Seoul to the city several times between 1999 and 2004, the airline said.
He has also clocked 43 hours flying a Boeing 777.
The cockpit voice recorder of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 appears to show the pilots tried to abort the landing less than two seconds before the plane crashed on the runwayat San Francisco International Airport, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday.
The plane's voice and flight data recorders show that the flight from South Korea was coming in too slow and too low and that the pilots appear to have increased speed seven seconds before impact, Deborah Hersman said. A stall warning sounded four seconds before the crash, and the crew then made an internal decision "to initiate a go-around 1.5 seconds to impact," she said.
The NTSB's preliminary assessment of the plane's cockpit and flight data recorders appear to indicate that the flight went from a routine landing to a disaster in a matter of seconds. But when asked if pilot error was to blame, Hersman said the crash landing was still under investigation.
"I would discourage anyone from drawing any conclusions at this point," she said, adding that investigators are still working to corroborate the information on the recorders.
But what happened inside the cockpit of the Boeing 777 may well be the key factor in Saturday's accident that killed two people, injured 182 and forced the temporary closure of one of the country's largest airports.

Beautiful Mid-Century Modern Reimagined
June 25, 2019 June 25, 2019 by jjfdesigns
To meet demand, developers are bringing back the 'midcentury' home. The most iconic image of midcentury American architecture is arguably Julius Shulman's photo of the glass-walled Case Study No. 22 house in Los Angeles, which appears to float weightlessly, almost magically above the city. The appeal of the image—which Time magazine called "the most successful real estate image ever taken" (and which was in fact staged with models in cocktail attire)—lies in the way that the silhouetted inhabitants appear to live in another plane, absent any extraneous furnishings or walls, yet safely enclosed and bathed in the home's light. The luxury the home evokes is neither gaudy nor accessible; it is desirable because of what and who isn't there—walls, clutter, crowds, or street. Shulman's photo and the architecture it depicts have in years since helped stoke a mimetic desire for a weightless, minimalist, perfectly curated life, a desire that now drives an entire industry of midcentury real estate, furniture, and associated lifestyle goods.
But midcentury modern homes are increasingly rare and can require expensive repairs, while suburban upper-middle-class homes built after the midcentury period, with their thick walls and frequently Southwest or Mediterranean features, tend to be the formal opposite of the Stahl house. With actual midcentury homes out of reach for most, developers and architects are now attempting to satisfy—and of course sell to—this desire with midcentury-inspired construction. But the new midcentury-inspired home does not look quite like the Case Study house in Shulman's photo. Comparing Case Study House No. 22 and its ilk to new midcentury-inspired homes tells us not just what was so appealing about midcentury architecture, but also what architecture has lost since that period.
Midcentury modern architecture has been less popular with practicing architects than with homebuyers, since architects are incentivized by their trade and its publications to architect forward, not backward. Several architects I spoke to said that even as the midcentury fervor has grown, many refuse to rebuild the old styles, favoring new work in organic and futuristic forms over repetitions of old designs. According to architect Ray Kappe, who is known for his glassy, transparent midcentury home designs, "most graduates of schools of architecture since the '50s, '60s and '70s have wanted to move architectural ideas forward. They are interested in having their work published in the magazines and books, [and] most publications are presenting other work."
Skinner House – Beverly Hills, California
"We would rather design for this era than a 70-year-old era," says Palm Springs architect James Cioffi, who worked in the '70s with iconic midcentury architects like Hugh Kaptur and says he is often called a midcentury architect but doesn't consider himself one.
But even when architects are amenable to reproducing them, certain classic features associated with midcentury modernism are no longer allowed by construction codes. "As we [got] further along in time the thinness of structural elements tended to change," Cioffi says. "A lot of that was code-driven. We can no longer use 2-inch square columns to hold up overhangs." That's only one reason why the seemingly sky-high glass-to-column ratio of the Stahl house cannot be replicated. In California, where many of the most famous midcentury American homes were built, new homes must use tempered glass for windows fewer than 60 inches from the floor, meaning that the midcentury's untreated, single-pane floor-length windows have been left behind. California codes also require ever-increasing measures for energy efficiency to reduce the amount of solar heat that can penetrate the window. According to Kappe, "In the midcentury there were no energy codes or limits on glazing sizes so the detailing of glass could be simpler and, in my opinion, better."
Kaufmann House
So what happens when the market demands architecture from a 70-year-old era? The resort town of Palm Springs was the site of many iconic midcentury developments and is now at the center of a wave of what developers are calling "midcentury modern" homes, though they are being designed and built today. Looking at these replica midcentury homes from the street can be a bit hallucinatory at times: They look like something out of a photograph from the 1960s, except that everything is smoother, thicker, and brighter, with perfectly sculpted desert landscaping and hardscaping out front in place of the midcentury's well-watered green lawns.
The degree to which new midcentury developments attempt to remain faithful to midcentury models varies. "It's a choice between whether you want 70 percent midcentury with a contemporary inspiration, or 70 percent contemporary with a midcentury inspiration," said Tyson Hawley, an agent with KUD Properties, who is developing a collection of houses in Palm Springs called the Desert Eichlers.
The Desert Palisades
Unlike most of the midcentury replicas that are on the market, the Eichlers are based on original midcentury plans—for developer Joseph Eichler's Bay Area tract homes—and the final product adheres fairly closely to the original Eichler look, with a living plan surrounding a glass atrium that provides views between several living spaces. Even the thin roofs of the original Eichlers appear to be replicated, although according to developer Troy Kudlac, that appearance is more a matter of proportion than fact. "The original Eichlers were tongue-and-groove with a rolled roof right on top; ours have several layers consisting of foil, plywood, insulation, and foam," he says. "But they look thin compared to the other midcentury replicas around that are thicker."
Like other new "midcentury" developments, the Desert Eichlers have a kind of technicolor perfection that differs from the more muted, sunlight-tempered hues of original midcentury homes, utilizing brightly stained wooden ceilings and a new "Eichler" multicolor paint palette co-branded with Dunn-Edwards. The reinterpreted Alexander Construction Company homes that James Cioffi built in 2014 have a similar hyperreal look, like the Palm Springs originals but brighter and weightier: The architecture is nearly identical, but the roofs are higher and thicker to accommodate energy efficiency and a modern desire for higher ceilings. Cioffi's Alexander homes, unlike the original Alexanders or the new Desert Eichlers, also produce their own solar energy.
The "midcentury modern-inspired" Skye development, also in Palm Springs, creates a less faithful, larger-than-midcentury look that incorporates elements of midcentury design into a contemporary format. In Skye, the ceilings are higher and the rooms are larger than in a midcentury home, but in midcentury fashion, the great room features a slanted roof, an articulated brick fireplace, and a wet bar with views onto the pool. Skye's preponderance of white tile, white walls, and white beams is in contrast with the more mod, bright accent colors at the Desert Eichler and new Alexander developments, but remains brighter than the original, sun-faded midcentury homes, which seem sepia toned in contrast.
The Skye development
Kaptur Court is a complex of three homes designed by Hugh Kaptur, the architect of many of Palm Springs' most iconic midcentury and late modernist buildings. Kaptur Court in Palm Springs makes faithful use of midcentury accent materials like rock-faced walls, square concrete brick, and clerestory windows; however, the heft of the walls and roofline are clearly of the contemporary era. This heft, in service of insulation and energy efficiency, is perhaps the biggest reason why new homes, however "midcentury modern" inspired, can never quite assume the elegance of the Case Study houses. And of course, while Skye, Kaptur Court, and the Desert Eichlers all deploy abundant glass panes to achieve Palm Springs' requisite "indoor/outdoor" feeling, the use of glass remains limited to areas like patio sliders and windows, rather than entire lengths of the home.
New "midcentury modern" homes have developed their own dialect for midcentury modern design, raising the question of what the phrase "midcentury modern" means in a contemporary context. If it can't mean the specific form of Case Study No. 22 and similar architecturally obsolete glass boxes, "midcentury modern" then must become a way of trying to capture the feeling the images from the period inspire. What the Shulman photo depicts beyond the architecture itself are two women in party dresses, appearing to be in animated conversation, surrounded by slim furniture as lightweight in appearance as the home itself. Beyond our insatiable desire to live in floating glass homes, what the Shulman photo engendered is a sense that midcentury modern means effervescent social life, perfectly dressed and curated and yet also apparently at ease, like the women in the photo.
To buy a new "midcentury modern" home, then, is to buy a vision of oneself in such composed yet carefree happiness. What one can't achieve in full glass walls one can approximate with minimalist decor and large, open entertaining spaces. This is what the new "midcentury modern" developments are building and selling: not necessarily replicas, but homes focused around large, airy entertainment space, with clean angles and unadorned edges in place of what in recent decades were curvy, decorated facades. The new "midcentury modern" housing development, in addition to recreating the sparkling, effortless cocktail vibe associated with the period, is about creating a home that in its sleek, minimalist, sparsely decorated lines works hard to make the viewer imagine that the more ornate '80s, '90s, and 2000s never happened.

Q: Query a Firestore Map property inside a document I have a collection (groups) with documents that has multiple properties, one of them (members) is an array of Maps with the following structure:
members:[{"is_admin":true,"user":"users/someuserid"}]

When "members" was an array of references (to user documents) it was easy to find all the groups a user is member of:
   db.collection("groups").whereField("members", arrayContains: db.document("users/"+UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "firebase_uid")!) ).getDocuments(){

I'm trying to achieve the same thing (get all the group documents a user is member of) but I can't find the right way to query the inside of the map property.

A: You currently can't do this type of query with Firestore.  You can only match the entire contents of some object in an array, not a specific field in an object in an array.  If you want to match an array field containing exactly {"is_admin":true,"user":"users/someuserid"}, you should be able to do that.  You will have to provide the exact fields of all the fields of the object to search for.
If you want to just find documents with a particular string value, consider breaking that value out into its own field in order to make it possible to index and search.

A: Seems like there has been an update sometime in firebase
now you can say :-
i come from dart so syntax will be different below
CollectionReference _collectionReference= FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('groups');

String _searchingForThisUserID = users/someuserid; // which is the value u were looking for

QuerySnapshot _collectionSnapshot = await _collectionReference
    .where('anotherFieldNameIfYouWant', isEqualTo: 'otherValueIfYouWant')
    .where('members.user', isEqualTo: '_searchingForThisUserID ')
    .get();

I guess you will get my point here regardless the syntax
you will see this members.user how I could access a value of a map inside firebase array by this map's field name

Game Date/Time: Saturday, October 3, 2015 – 1 p.m.
Game Location: Warrior Field, Waterloo
Live Webcast/Stats: OUA.tv
Audiocast: None
Tickets: limited tickets available at tickets.laurierathletics.com
The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (1-3) look to bounce back from a tough loss on Homecoming when they travel across University Ave. to take on the Waterloo Warriors (0-4) in the 55th edition of the Battle of Waterloo.
– Saturday's meeting between the Hawks and Warriors is the 55th all-time as the OUA celebrates Rivalry Week featuring some of the best rivalries in the league
– Both teams come into the game looking to snap losing streaks as the Hawks have lost three straight games while the Warriors have lost all four of their games in 2015
– Laurier's playoff hopes took a hit when they lost to Windsor at Homecoming last week but a win on Saturday will put them right back in the thick of the playoff race
– The Hawks have shutout the Warriors in two of their last three meetings, including a 44-0 win at University Stadium last season
– Laurier will be look to spoil the Warriors Reunion Weekend as a large crowd is expected for Saturday's game
The Golden Hawks lead the all-time series against Waterloo with a record of 39-14-1. The purple and gold have won the last 11 meetings with the Warriors dating back to the 2003 season and have not lost against Waterloo on the road since 2001.
Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (1-3)
The Golden Hawks went back to work this week following a tough loss on Homecoming to the Windsor Lancers. The story of that game was penalties and head coach Michael Faulds vowed his team would be more disciplined moving forward.
Despite the loss to Windsor, the Hawks had a few bright spots from the game, including running back Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., who ran for over 100 yards. In total, the Hawks put up over 200 rushing yards in that contest and currently rank fifth in the league in average rushing yards per game.
The other bright spot was the Hawks kicking game as rookie kicker Nathan Mesher of Waterloo, Ont., earned OUA Special Teams Player of the Week honours following a perfect 4-for-4 day kicking field goals.
However, the key for Saturday's game for Faulds and his team will be finding the endzone. The Hawks have gone two games without being able to celebrate a touchdown and Laurier will be looking to end that drought early against Waterloo.
Waterloo Warriors (0-4)
Following Windsor's win last week over the Hawks, Waterloo enters Week 6 of the season as the only winless team left in the conference. The Warriors have struggled on both sides of the football, averaging a league-worst 10.1 points per game while allowing a league-high 51.3 points per game. However, despite those numbers, the Warriors always get up for the Battle of Waterloo and the Hawks should expect nothing less than Waterloo's best effort this season.
Leading the Warriors under centre is Lucas McConnell of Waterford, Ont. The second year pivot has thrown for 1,026 yards this season while throwing more touchdowns (5) than interceptions (4). He is supported in the backfield by running back Ryan Di Risio of Burlington, Ont., who has rushed for 259 yards this year.
McConnell's favourite target this year has been second year receiver Mitch Kernick of Elmira, Ont., who is averaging over 23.4 yards per reception and leads the Warriors in receiving yards with 327.
Defensively, Laurier will need to be aware of defensive backs Lucas Merlin of Burlington, Ont., who leads Waterloo in tackles this season with 21, and Christian Mahler of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who has a team-best two interceptions.

Q: Running Visual Assist X and ReSharper 5.0 at the same time VS 2005/2008/2010
I have latest Visual Assist X and Resharper 5.0 installed at the same time. I found some Resharper shortkeys and functionality became disabled or stopped working. Do these 2 plugins conflict? How do I check what has been disabled by Visual Assist X in ReSharper? Thanks.
EDIT:
Also, Visual Assist X overlaps some of Visual Studio's functionality: Navigation bar, quick info, parameter info...
So I have to go to option and hide VS's navigation bar. I also wonder if I need to turn off VS's intellisense, since Visual Assist parses all the files anyway, so the intellisense might be wasting CPU time despite not being in use.

A: Visual Assist does not knowingly disable any Resharper feature.  Current builds of Visual Assist will disable some of its own features when it detects the presence of Resharper.  Contact Whole Tomato support for any issues you may be experiencing.

FIDELITY CREATES BEACHHEAD IN ARGENTINA'S FUND MARKET
Thomas Ciampi and Margaret Price
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Fidelity Investments opened what is expected to become the first of several Fidelity offices in South America.
The new subsidiary is part of Boston-based Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Co. It will market offshore Fidelity products to Argentine banks, brokers and other institutions. Fidelity already had been doing this without a local presence, but decided to open the office to step up its marketing efforts.
According to Fidelity spokesman Andy Trincia in Boston "we have been selling funds to banks in South America for a few years. But this is the first time we have had an office on the ground there." In Argentina and elsewhere in South America, Fidelity has been selling its Advisor World Funds, a family of offshore funds domiciled in Bermuda. The tax-advantaged vehicles are especially attractive to wealthy individuals.
Beyond Argentina, the company "has plans to open offices elsewhere in the region through this year and possibly into next year," said Mr. Trincia. He would not say where the additional offices will be established.
From Fidelity's perspective, Latin America is "an untapped market with a lot of potential,"he said.There are "a lot of excellent banks in that area that are expanding their business and looking to forge new relationships. Fidelity sees this as an opportunity, since we are already well-established in Europe, Canada and the Far East," added Mr. Trincia.
In Argentina, Fidelity is not the first foreign-based money manager to set up shop. But its arrival has caused a stir in some quarters, especially among local players. Although Fidelity is targeting institutional clients, some fear the company eventually will set its sights on the retail market as well, and gain an edge because of its size and financial muscle. One of the big concerns is that Fidelity would offer funds for smaller investments that could significantly cut into banks' own business.
And at this point, it appears Fidelity easily could get the competitive jump on some local players. Quite a few Argentine banks - especially their branch offices - still focus on promoting certificates of deposit; only about three or four banks aggressively market mutual funds.
But Fidelity's Mr. Trincia denied Fidelity is eyeing the local retail market. "Our customers are the banks, not individual investors. The banks, in turn, sell to individual investors.
"We've had some relationships with Argentine banks already, and we intend to expand this . . . through additional marketing" provided by the new Buenos Aires office, he said.
Although some other foreign-based money managers already have set up shop in Argentina, sources say they, too, appear to be overlooking the local retail market, at least for now.
Donald F. Reed, president of Templeton Investment Counsel, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said Templeton's Buenos Aires office, set up at least three years ago, has two functions: research for Templeton's emerging markets group and product marketing to financial institutions and to pension funds in Latin America.
To Mr. Reed, regional opportunities are still in their early days, and "there is still a lot of development work going on." But looking forward, managers can expect marketplace success in Argentina to hinge on many of the same factors as elsewhere.
"At the end of the day, people should be using funds they are comfortable with, that they believe can produce a good return, that meets their own measure of risk and that are properly serviced," said Mr. Reed. In light of these criteria, "it doesn't bother us to compete with Fidelity. We do it everywhere," he said.
