Search is horrendous across the board, list of conversations is where messages go to die, the "teams" part which is a weird hybrid forum has an awful UI and no way to not collapse messages by default (and little to no options). Wh

Microsoft has a solution to that problem: Teams. It is so painful to use and to do anything in it that it encourages people to actually use the bug tracker or other venues to discuss any serious topic.

This is great, I knew this was in development for a while, but I did not expect it to land this early. 1 to 1 audio/video calls using Conversations and other apps work already perfectly, but group video chat using standardized technolo

The difference here is that the company actually wants to hire people, and is generally not that efficient at reaching out by itself (hence headhunters, etc), so sending your resume is helping them. Me, on the other hand, I do not want to b

This is a terrible analogy, because I certainly don’t have billions to spend to put billboards of me near the places I want to be hired at. Sending a resume to recruiters is part of the hiring process (although, arguably, in our trade, it i

edit: my bad, I expected it to be the case but it turns out I had it in my gitconfig instead. They are just going along the git default, so yes, a new repo will be on main branch by default.

I am unclear what is the value added by this link, other than to rekindle some inflammatory discussion that was had at length already? It shows that the go build tools are especially brittle and making assumptions they should not. And that

I clicked expecting some broken analogy between https://tinc-vpn.org/ and the Catan board game, but instead it is a Catan implementation. Fair enough.

I like the idea, but as other commenters have already pointed out, it only recommends brand name items, which is a bummer (off-the-shelf vegan substitutes are generally very expensive). It would be great if there also was a section "

Catalan independence is not generally advocating from sedition from the united states, which is obviously the only territory covered by this law.

This was a partial view, yes, the viral charge is lessened when the vaccine comes into play, which is a good thing, but it does not help much that much the several hundred thousand people for whom the vaccine is useless, nor the ones who go

Regarding 2, France is still not in lockdown despite having a much higher number of cases per capita than the US (400k cases for 66M people last monday), and schools are run to the ground in a similar manner than what is described in the re

I can confirm this testimony. Managers and directors are doing everything they can to keep people in the building, despite more than 10% of employees testing positive for covid last week.

But the author is specifically complaining about the technical phone screens using vastly inferior tools and processes than what you work with day-to-day. Being asked to write code on demand in a notepad with no way to test or compile is no

It is generally not the case in modern construction or outside cities (because you need "gaz de ville" otherwise it is a real pain, and that is infrastructure). This 2015 document indicates 39% natural gas in heating, and 35% elec

France is mostly nuclear, but most of the heating is using natural gas (it has gone up more than 30% in price this year alone for consumers).

The worst part is that an inactive background TCP connection is mostly free (of course, a Tor client is slightly more involved), so there is exactly 0 reason to forbid it, as long as apps are reviewed properly for abusive behavior (they are

iOS only has high market share in the US, even in other, similarly rich western countries, Android dominates. Additionally, iOS prevents you from keeping a background connection, which means anything else than polling or (apple-controled) p

Actually the chain wanted to close shop due to the high number of union members (which McDonald’s never wants), and planned to sell the restaurant to some other asian fast-food chain, getting rid of the employees at the same time. Not sure

Maps.me, from which this is derived, uses third-party data (e.g. booking.com, etc), to integrate both booking and reviews into the map. I ultimately went away because maps.me is a real sinkhole of personal data, but experience is otherwise

Yeah, I’m not complaining and it’s entirely fair to sell your work, but I’m always wary of relying on a closed-source (+ licensed) tool for things as critical as backups. I may be partial though, having interacted with the Borg author in-pe
