Maybe, but it's a behaviour that shouldn't be possible to happen. If I have a personal account it's my account, and should be considered distinct from the account of a school/organization, there shouldn't be the pos

This really benefits when you first connect a client to a server that has to sync all the mail locally, and partially each time the client starts that has to check all the folders for new messages. But realistically when a client is opened

What is difficult about that? Every protocol works this way, nothing new. The fact that the server may send you messages even they are not responses... of course, otherwise how do you think notifications can work? The only other options is

Having two ways to update the system doesn't either seem great to me. Having the same software that can be installed from two sources neither. Also as far as I remember flatpack is something more complex than a simple package format, i

Well, fortunately I don't use Teams every minute of my day. When I need it it works mostly fine. Of course if you use Windows, on other platforms Teams works completely unreliably or doesn't work at all. But that is another issue.

It works mostly fine. It doesn't have the prettiest interface, for example message editing is not great, and search is not great (though it got better than 1 year ago that was unusable). Anther stupid thing is that handling multiple or

I don't think paragonating email clients to houses makes all that much sense. Unless you use them for personal stuff (but most people use mobile phones or webmails for that these days, that to manage 1 personal account it's fine)

Safari is the new IE. From one point of view it's good that Apple still develops his browser and didn't choose to use Chromium like all the others (except Firefox), but from another to this day keeping up with all new web features

Perhaps a better solution would have been not using the Linux namespaces but using LD_PRELOAD to preload a shared library to intercept all the FS-related API and normalize the path. Of course more complex and would only function for dynamic

There are a ton of desktop email clients that have that design: Apple Mail, Windows 10/11 Mail application, Outlook, Mailspring, whatever. Of client that have the UI/UX of Thunderbird... well only Thunderbird remained. I get that

Nooooooooo Why change the UI? I mean, I like Thunderbird exactly since it's the only email client that didn't go into the direction of emulating GMail or Apple Mail or other mail interfaces that shows you the messages in a convers

Why if you can do that in a browser? Isn't much simpler? I don't want to install an app for every stupid thing. It's just simper to open the browser at a particular URL. The browser is a runtime environment capable (with PWA,

I think the difference is about frameworks. Typically desktop application frameworks (Windows Forms, GTK, QT, etc) follow an imperative approach, where you design your UI (maybe with a graphical designer) and attach callbacks to events, tha

Yes, because GitHub doesn't support organization users (maybe you have to pay?) so the thing is that you use your personal account. That is fine, since the real account is the membership to the organization. The only thing is the stuff

Open source doesn't necessary mean that the code has to be share publicly on the internet, let alone on a GitHub repo! This is a common misconception. You can of course also decide to sell an open source software, that is have other pa

In my opinion in this case the fork shouldn't be allowed to be created at all. If this is the final effect it's better to inform the user that "no, we don't let you fork the repo". So he could have done it the norma

I see the fork feature useful since for example if you fork a project that is no longer maintained user can search in the forks and find that you are now maintaining it. I've found myself doing it a lot of times. Regarding forking a pr

In reality, who cares of what the C spec says? Unless you have to port code on different compilers (which is very unlikely, unless you are building a library meant to be shared with different projects) you only care about the fact that the

I think the reason is that Matlab is more oriented to people that are not programmers, such as mathematicians and engineers, since it's more "user friendly" than python. It has everything is needed (an IDE, interactive REPL,

I don't look at them for one reason, to me the great thing of PHP is the fact that is super easy and fast to add some dynamic generation to a mostly static website. By using a framework I can as well go to Next.js, for example. The thi

No, traits are not inheritance, nor is derive that is default implementation of some traits. Traits are like interfaces in OOP languages (simplified), the equivalent of a class would be a struct + all the impls of that struct. And that thin
