I can only listen to certain types of music, usually instrumental. Can't listen to anything with vocals in it.

I really wish I could find a game that captures the 5-person PvE experience that was early WoW classic without it turning into a grindfest or a raidfest. You don't even need the loot or the crafting elements. It was the beauty of the t

I really wish everyone was competing on efficiency. Most journeys require nowhere near the range capabilities of current EVs, instead carrying around excess weight when not required. Similarly on the acceleration side, other than showing of

Different frameworks and language run-times move at different paces. It's very often the case that projects don't match their product pace and life-cycle to their toolset pace and life-cycle. "Standards" be it ABIs, APIs

This is especially bad with anything based on Chromium/Electron and fractional scaling at the moment. The Ozone/Wayland back end is still a way off it seems.

High end tech procurement is more like your average market stall haggling than you might imagine. It tends to be the middle ground that's most stable.

The first of these certainly does happen, in this case though I suspect it may be a bit of both. When it comes to negotiation this will likely go both ways, the prestige and association of a project like CERN is worth something to large tec

This is perhaps the most poignant comment in the article: "CERN has enjoyed special conditions for the use of Microsoft products for the last 20 years, by virtue of its status as an “academic institution”. However, recently, the compan

How is having another vote, to establish a revised opinion based on new information and two long years of public debate and analysis of the original campaigns, undemocratic? We could well be on path for a third general election in six years

This is something that I've been intrigued about too. Most of the cli/text based creation tools out there focus on text based content as well. But, for many people myself included, the desire is really for a text based creation to

As someone who interacts a lot with front line support for a fairly large organisation I find this balance interesting. Support channels are often a strange mix of FIFO with priority based queue jumping. I was at a talk by Kate Russell of B

Topics aren't mandatory in Zulip. You can enable the "no topic" thread which makes them effectively optional. Yes Slack has threads, but they aren't implemented in a way that's conducive to ad-hoc interaction over l

This is exactly the issue with the style of threads used in Slack, Teams, Hangouts Chat etc. Their useful half-life tends to them being forgotten quickly.

It's more real-time capable than classical forum software meaning you can use it as a channelized chat system.

Yes, Discord, IRC, Riot/Matrix and Zulip for example make this very clear. Some of the others have it but not obvious. One thing that Spectrum has that's similar to forum software is a reputation system. Others have admin/mod

I couldn't for the life of me understand how many people I spoke to didn't see the problem that lack of threading and async catch-up posed to linear chat systems as Slack gained in popularity. to me it felt like a forgetful, prett

I spent a fair bit of time trying out many of the different chat systems out there for our tech community. In particular I looking for solutions that could do a half decent job of combining synchronous as well as asynchronous communication.

Often the addiction comes after the homelessness as a mechanism to combat boredom and cold. Mental illness, financial circumstance and relationship breakdowns (family or spouse) are indeed common initial causes. Especially PTSD in veterans.
