Oh, everything popular before Zoom sucked so bad. Getting on a call was incredibly complicated, getting someone else in a call even more so. I got deflated whenever I saw a WebEx mail. There were alternatives... But Skype was getting

I fully agree, Video-calls are tiring. But I would say the same is true for all calls (where I cannot freely drift off or even work on something else). I would try to reduce the number of calls you're in :S

That might all be true. But working together efficiently means acting as a team, being a "human" (sorry all cooperative animals, you're human too) To act as a closely connected team that is able to sort things out and deal

So much vitriol :( I can say from personal experience that people tend to drift off more easily if their cameras are off, no manager present. My team even just agreed themselves to enable the cameras during refinements. Is the main problem

It is the same thinking as the "you need to start with C to become a good programmer". They started with ink, it worked for them, so we obviously also had to. For me it was even worse. My teachers argued that I must not use my Pel

To be fair, this has changed considerably over the last 10 years. GitLab was drastically cheaper, offering free private repos, and interesting features ahead of GitHub (although IMO always slightly less "sexy" than GitHub, using R

No, it doesn't. Something "making sense" does not mean mistakes are not possible. Assuming only idiots make mistakes is rather black-and-white.

I think most commenters on lwn are misunderstanding this gravely. RHEL not supporting LibreOffice doesn't mean you can still install it, right? It just means RH won't offer support for it? Also does not mean you must use Flatpak t

The Problem with Jira is not that it's dumb or too sophisticated. The first problem is that everyone, even in the same team or org, needs something different from it. Sometimes it is even single individuals needing one particular thing

Dude. Everything you said is correct, but: I responded to > Google could be requested to peer not just into the user's google account, but into accounts they have with other companies/organisations too Your response to my respo

Wow. Fine for what? Gag order? Does not help them. Legality? That would count, if it was something I could order them to do, but again, what do you think would happen there? "Dear Google, we know you have user TechBro8615@gmail.com, co

I think this is a little far fetched as a scenario. Under which assumptions should Google be forced to "peer into accounts a user has with other services"? This is not only not enforceable, it would be illegal . Companies can n

The whole idea of acidic/basic foods is not grounded on the scientific meaning of basic/acidic. Food considered to be "acidic" often has no particularly low pH, and vice versa. And most of all: you can't influence y

That's not what the rest of the world considers a "regulation"

As much as I have sympathy for the pain (besides the influencer thing) - what exactly do you expect from the government here? And I say this as European, I mean, we at least have some regulations...

With technical managers: how things are going, what needs to be solved to speed things up, what is holding the progress up. With non-technical managers (which I would expect to have 1:1s in the first place): - How it is going - How the team

Thanks for your comment. But I disagree -- almost no one has to "just accept his fate" and be stuck with Windows nowadays. Unless you are a gamer or you strictly work with Windows only software, there are plenty of alternatives.

Well, there are alternatives...

Nobody ever died because he did not have enough acceleration. That whole argument is as old and tired as it is wrong. Escaping from dangerous situations is not a thing. Speed got you in that situation in the first place.

This is the case for several laptops and computer displays I can tell from experience, even those from large brands (looking at you Dell).

You're missing the point. What a novice usually does not realize is: It is easy to be right. What is hard is being actually helpful, coming up with a viable solution (vs. an idea). In the posted article there simply was no such sol

Dude, the 2018 Citroen Berlingo (cheap family car) has a glove box without a latch. I didn't even find ours for the first week, because it is in an unusual spot where you would expect the airbag. https://youtu.be/cNpGQW

Ha. The newer VW models (Golf, ID series, etc.) had touch controls on the steering wheels instead of physical buttons. Of course what happened is what you anticipated. Bad customer feedback made them reverse that for future models.

It's not "perceived cons" - it causes accidents. It is distracting.
