The Azure service game is indeed incredible. Every experience I've had with them has been excellent. A client once requested we file a support ticket with Azure to help deal with a performance issue my team was working through. It wasn

I'd add to that, team dynamics can't be discounted. Feeling part of a team is good for morale, and in turn productivity. People tend to produce better work, on a faster timeline, when the respect of their teammates is on the line.

I can't find it anywhere anymore, even on their site. They must have realized they weren't reading the room well with the ad and modeling. But I did screenshot it previously: https://imgur.com/gallery/bxcK7zb

As another anecdote, I've had the same ad targeting for this last week or so. (Which is really unfortunate timing.) At some point I must've clicked on the wrong article while seeing what the "other side" was up to. And n

I'm sure a lot of us can relate. One of my best memories from my career: I was sitting at my desk at 8pm "working" because I had "so much to do". When in reality I was just dreading going home. A coworker that I bar

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually a combination of a new feature being recently rolled out, along with the sudden spike in load this morning. The holidays are actually the perfect time for Slack to roll out a risky deployme

I can't believe this is a thing. I recently switched back to Windows after deciding I wanted to play around with VR development (and honestly, get back into gaming) and was horrified to see a notice telling me my computer was going to

Thanks for sharing. You've described my own stutter and struggles perfectly. Like you, I can tell I'm going to "block" on a word before I even say it. So it's less of what's thought of as a conventional stutter

True, hence my follow-up sentence on this point being mitigated in a world where we felt more free to work in alternative work spaces. It's not like I don't get out to run, go to the park, or even occasionally meet a friend for a

My apologies, you are correct. I took some things for granted in terms of why I made the comparison, and on further reflection it probably isn't a fair comparison. For example, I took it for granted that when I said there were 1500 ret

That's a fair point, and definitely something to keep in mind. Thank you for highlighting that. I know you're not debating NC, but looking again at the state, it was mostly the last few weeks that looked flat. If you compare to th

Because we're talking relatively small numbers. It's easy to create large movements in small numbers. If one person in my town is murdered this year, and 2 are murdered next year, that's a 100% year over year increase in the

I spent from around 2008 to to 2019 carrying a decent camera with me almost everywhere I went. I loved taking photos, and I wanted to make sure I was capturing them in the best format I could. I also only shared on social media photos that

I'd be really interested in how they plan to implement this. I'd certainly hope it would be more sophisticated than a linear adjustment of salary based on differences in the cost of living. I live and work out of St. Louis at the

Thank you for articulating this so well. This is indeed how I'm beginning to see the divides shape up, and I tend to include myself in the 3rd group as well.

Source for Nebraska turning into a hotspot? Looking at all the trackers I have bookmarked I'm not seeing much of an indication of this. Yes, confirmed cases seem to be up in the last week, but that seems to track with increased testing

Very true. As I was telling a friend of mine, it feels like a collective case of "misery loves company". Any indication on my social media that someone is stepping out their front door to be proactive about their mental health is

I'm guessing they're confusing profit and margin. It wouldn't surprise me if margins were higher now, but I have a hard time believing overall profits are up, anywhere. Especially when you consider a lot of restaurants make a

>3 deaths out of ~750 known cases Actually it's 6 out of 705. [0][1] May seem like a small difference, but a 0.8% chance of dying is 8x more than the flu. Never mind the fact that the data out of China, Italy, Japan and Iran is all

More annoying, to me, is how much of a struggle it is to determine the names of streets that a navigation route follows. I'm the type that prefers to look at a map to see where I'm going, and it drives me absolutely insane to have

You sound exactly like how I felt before seeing a doctor about my insomnia. If you haven't already, I'd suggest just seeing a doctor, and asking for something that will help you sleep. I was given 50mg Trazodone, and I feel like i

A therapist of course can't fix a mistake you made in the past. However, they will most certainly help you change the way you think about that mistake. Which can be extremely helpful in moving past those mistakes and making the best

I have plenty of people in my extended friend group who are in their mid to late 20s, and most of them are still quite active on FB. Nobody thinks it's cool or fun anymore, of course. But it's still the go-to spot for sharing life
