The number of times I've had to hold a conversation via Teams on my phone instead of on the desktop because the chat on the desktop just refused to update... ugh, geez.

I did the same. Teams on my brand new (in 2019) laptop with 32 GB of RAM had vastly, vastly worse performance than even the web version of Excel. Slack, when I started using it more than ten years ago, was vastly more usable than Teams is

Teams is great for functionality, and also the worst, most unperformant application I've ever had to use for work. Somehow even Word/Excel on the web are more performant than Teams itself has ever been. It's slow to switch fr

Ideally it takes a full year for them to realize that you're not competent, at which point you hit your 1 year cliff and can snag 25% of your options or RSUs before you get PIP'ed out.

Also, architectural changes. They describe how ES can't parallelize a query unless it's spread across multiple index shards, which has its own tradeoffs. Their query engine can parallelize a query on a single index shard, which me

Rust also has the benefit of eliminating a ton of classes of bugs, which is great for the core of a product that connects to the network, fetches untrusted content, parses it, and (presumably) stores it somewhere. Not that you can't st

I honestly cannot believe that Rails doesn't have this built in. This was something that was in Django for as long as I can remember; I was looking at it in I think 2006 and it existed at that point in a very similar state to what I&#x

And then they took this strategy into the XBox One generation: everyone gets a Kinect! For $100 more than the competition! And it's always listening, and you have to have it connected for the system to boot! Piling onto that with &quot

I'm on metformin for diabetes as well, and diarrhea issues are the biggest concern my doctor has. I can't tolerate too high of doses (when we tried I ended up laying in bed for an entire weekend because I felt so terrible), so I&#

We got a Panasonic combination microwave/broiler/oven/air fryer/etc. I kind of assumed it would be pretty mediocre at everything, but during this past summer where temperatures were unseasonably warm and our kitchen has

The brighter the pixels are, the more power they are using. A pixel uses 0 power at 0 brightness, and it goes up from there.

The OpenZFS project added support for ZSTD a while ago for transparent compression, and it's fantastic. I was seeing substantial compression rates given the type of data we were storing for basically free.

The GPL v2 requires that any code that this code is linked to is also released as GPL. For example, if I want to use Pango, which is GPLv2, in my application, then the GPL requires that I also release my application's source code as GP

Turn off voice chat by default for everyone. Let people opt-in to the toxicity that is online gaming. I played a lot of Destiny, and it doesn't (didn't?) have voice chat. No problem. I also played a lot of Overwatch, which has voi

I implemented my company's SVN to Git migration, and so I was familiar with Git notes because KDE's svn2git program[1] supports using git notes for storing information. Unfortunately, we immediately had to rewrite everything using

I think video games are very comparable to chess. I mean, chess: 1. Is dull 2. Promotes laziness 3. Is sedentary 4. Stunts societal progress and growth 5. Limits the mind 6. Promotes violence The list goes on! Yet can you believe that peopl

Worth mentioning: 1000 hours over the last six years that Factorio has been released comes out to about 27 minutes per day, on average. 1000 hours since release in 2020 comes out to about 1 hour and 22 minutes per day on average. Regardless

I wonder how many Musk fanboys at Twitter got the axe in the first round of arbitrary, poorly-conceived layoffs. I wonder how many of them are still fanboys.
