I'm not a big Excel user, but I see errors that I get when I type in English function names while using a non-English version of Excel. Is it correct that functions (and thus this xlsb file) are not portable to other language versions

Not all universities are overfunded Ivy League. A risk of proprietary research is that the company can hoard knowledge, exploitation thereof, etc. It's the suboptimal quadrants of the prisoners dilemma.

If you see that I talk about a certain config of Sharepoint, it's much faster to point that out than being argumentative. What did you do to have concurrent editing (or what did you not do), and how does it integrate the various diffs?

by brnt 3y ago
'out' sharepoint does nothing for chance resolution, therefore concurrent editing is always problematic. Can you explain how you tackled this? This is a huge problem for us, but maybe I should ask someone yo enable something on th

Although there's not much tooling around it, being a better spec (see sibling) would mean it's easier to write such tooling. Also, ODF is supported in a wider variety of software, MSO included, than ooxml (at least for a sufficien

Then our Sharepoint server must have disabled sth. I regularly get a message on save that the document has changed meanwhile, with the option to overwrite those changes or discard my own... No change tracking is visible to me, other than a

Sharepoint is in-org, and lo and behold, that's not always, or not even usually how documents are formed. Plus, Sharepoint still has no concept of concurrent editing, so you better hope that nobody works on the same document at the sam

I'm not talking about final documents. Sure, only PDF/A makes sense (handily outputted in the LaTeX flow btw). I'm talking about what comes before. Most don't have the luxury of a publishing department producing a clean

Let's start with the use of OpenDocument formats. Much of Brussels operates on the exchange-by-mail of .docx files (unfortunately, this is part of my job, it's true for other governments too). I so wish that would change. My ideal

How can I find this out on a given model? From what I've seen only the i3 actually simplified this way, but I haven't gone in depth on it since then and that discussion doesn't refer to any specific models.

If you call what Xorg supports a narrow space, I'm not sure you've used Wayland. I read the exact same things about it a decade ago, and I remember that Fedora 31 (maybe 32?) defaulted to Wayland. Just as it was then: I get breaka

Wayland and the way some people and distros handle the move puts me off because they violate a core tenet of user facing software design: support most if not all of your users. Not just a happy path. Not a few either. It's _all about_

That's so obviously incorrect that it'd be funny if those sprinters weren't so mightily uncomfortable. I guess it takes a Calvinist to prefer them.

NS uses a wilde variety of materiel for intercities, only a handful of new ones now that finally come with sockets. Never had a single one here at Maastricht. I did have a sprinter on intercity duty last time I went up north. It's abys

German waste processing is however known for simply dumping things in Eastern Europe. In terms of actual processing I think only the Netherlands breaches 50%. I don't like the 9 trash streams though.

Check your municipal waste centre. Mine, in Limburg (NL), recycles diapers.

No, I'm saying that the government is failing to correctly address this crime. You seem to be arguing that the problem doesn't exist, because they mishandle things. They are orthogonal things.
