What a great summary! Thing is, if the keys work, I love typing on them. I read that the new releas has improvements and I hope they work. Concerning the second point; I use some Mac-only tools plus Microsoft Office plus developer tools lik

Have been working from home for four years. After moving into a larger apartment, I learned that a dedicated room for work is a must (at least for me). My office is very minimalistic and only used for work. I hardly work outside of it - mai

I also really like the new keyboard. It’s definitely the best non-mechanical keyboard I have typed on and I really enjoyed using it. However, like five or six keys are stuck, space and shift work only if I hit them in the center and the 7 k

The grid editor layout is a major improvement I have been waiting for! Can’t wait any longer to try it out.

Sounds messy. However, this VB app is literally just 15 LOC, pretty straightforward. And it is the only solution we have found so far that allows us to leverage Word.

Have been in the US and CA for a couple of weeks lately and used both Apple Maps and Google Maps. And I have to say that Apple Maps was way better during my stay. The navigation was more precise, even telling me the exact lane to stay in. A

We basically process the template with a node.js library. We then have a node.js server on a Windows machine that takes a file, saves it onto disk and runs a Visual Basic application on it which itself starts Microsoft Word headless to save

We have built something similar internally. Macroservice running a cluster of headless Chromes that turn an uploaded HTML file into a PDF. Used for reporting. We now switch to a Microsoft Word rendering backend where we process Word files w

Also using a HHKB Pro 2, without prints. Best keyboard I ever had. My alternative would be Atreus, but I am not that into building keyboards. https://atreus.technomancy.us/

I am in the US at the moment and actually on WiFi, so I guess that’s not the issue. But interesting that this happens to you. Never had that in Germany.

How annoying Reuters included ads that redirect on mobile to pages informing me about viruses on my iPhone and an incredible huge lottery win. Too bad, it’s impossible to read the article on my phone. edit: mobile

Skype has basically become unusable for professional communication. It’s getting worse with every update. I kind of expect the same for Github then. That’s my concern.

The thing is, affected persons can not only request a data deletion, but also the pausing of data processing. In that case, you are not allowed to delete them but they must not be used any longer, which is essentially a soft delete. So to b

I am not an Erlang programmer, but that style of programming bothered me, too. This variable per function application is a code smell in my point of view and should be handled with function composition or partial application (not sure how

Thanks for pointing that out, that was, indeed, not clear to me either. But I expect this will change at some point, for the sake of simplicity for end users. Giving up security for convenience.

I really like 1Password, it has been my daily driver for years. The creators gifted me versions for macOS and iOS years ago, so I never had to pay for it - which I would have done happily and, in fact, just recently did. But the push to the

I prefer Postgres because of its (in my opinion: better) features and my familiarity with it. It wouldn't be a challenge to setup a MySQL/MariaDB database if I wasn't already running a largerish Postgres instance where I want

I was on board from the beginning! What a great product. Too bad they dropped support for Postgres at some point, otherwise it would still be my platform of choice!

I started with k8s beginning this year and from my point of view, the documentation is not good - and a major pain point when trying to get started. Each part on its own is good and well written, but it lacks the overall picture and does no

I was thinking about something similar. Making the webpack configuration accessible using a drag‘n‘drop editor, where you can define environments (prod, test, etc) and build configuration per environment using building blocks. JavaScript ge

Too bad the installation requires a dedicated Ubuntu machine. I was hoping that I could deploy it with little effort on my k8s cluster to try it out.
