Sorry for the late reply. Sharepoint is god awful for anything Confluence is good at - namely being a wiki aimed at technical documentation. OneNote is a little better but even the online OneNote isn't great great, and both are a few s

My employer (large Fortune 500) recently "soft banned" Confluence and Jira, meaning groups already utilizing it can stay on it until our enterprise license runs out at the end of the yearly support contract. At first I thought it

Maybe it's because I grew up on BBSes, IRC, and other text-based online communities before being able to reliably vocally speak and see online folks, but I don't see a huge problem with remote work and interaction. Yes there are c

Those stories seem to be about half of the restaurants on Gordon Ramsey's show. I know there's a lot of embellishment and added drama on the American version, but the crux of half the restaurants are "we thought it would be a

While I think having the equivalent of the Professional Engineer (in the US) for software or hardware/electrical is probably a good idea for very critical products (self-driving cars, medical devices, planes, etc) distributed to the pu

Elon Musk has some nice technology ideas but man is he a huge douche-bag. He's even telling his employees that the risks are overblown.

Sure, it's entirely possible the virus was accidentally released from a lab. Maybe we're all living in a simulation. Maybe this virus is punishment from God for PHP. There are all sorts of conspiracies and things to speculate on i

I would guess the average person shouldn't be scared, especially living in North America and Europe. First let the CDC, et al worry about it before we do.

I suppose you could get by with never learning it, but I think that would be hampering yourself. While there all "languages" that kick out CSS, it is one of the core building blocks of the web space. The basics are very easy to le

I think 5 years isn't necessarily a bad estimate for full self-driving cars, but I'm very skeptical that is in all traffic conditions, operating with mostly human drivers, in all road "structures", and especially in all

What I'm understanding from this article is that WeWork, as big as they are/were, and as much of a tech company as they made themselves out to be, did not host an enterprise version of GitHub that could reside inside their intrane

I'm no expert in real estate, residential or commercial, so I don't really see the big appeal of WeWork. Are there that many independent contractors and very small companies that need office space, currently don't have it,

For me, exercise and trying to re-frame my situation helps. I believe even if your exercise is just a 30min walk, it's better than sitting at home ruminating about things. By re-framing I mean trying to rethink my situation from a thir

I'm all for competition in the marketplace, just as I'm not likely to give up Netflix I'm also not likely to start paying for any other streaming service out there. I use Netflix and Amazon Prime not because I'm in love

Musk has some cool ideas but he seems like a petulant child and a complete asshole. I used to have some dream about working for Tesla or SpaceX, but the more I read about him and his companies, I'm happy to stay right where I am now. H

Perhaps I'm not understanding how useful BTC is, but what is the purpose of it at this point except as a short and medium term investment to make money on? The price is too volatile to be used as a currency imo.
