I have a 365 family subscription thing (got it on discount from MS friends) and looked into the custom domain but it was missing important features like catch-all. Glad I didn't adopt it now.

Those monitors trigger me. Uneven heights, one is tilted, there's a gap big enough to fit a hand through, and they're miscalibrated (different color temperature).

C++ is not going anywhere. All operating systems and almost all compilers for every other language (plus many of their runtimes) are written in it. <s>When the heat death of the universe is upon us and all other languages have ceased

Interesting; could this be because you've been using outdated C++ ? (legacy codebases started before C++98 tend to be particularly painful) FWIW, I prefer the power of C++ over Rust's hand-holding; but can also see its appeal for

We're doing cross-platform client applications (primarily Windows desktop apps with some macOS and a bit of iOS/Android).

The comments here worry me. I've been programming C++ professionally for 15+ years and I think my comp is pretty good. I didn't shop around though (maybe I should just to see what the market is like, but I hate LeetCode or whateve

Seems unnecessarily complicated. I self-host Vaultwarden at home (and expose it to the internet via WireGuard), nice and seamless.

That's surprising; I wanted to make a picture book (with a bit of text the kids wrote) to send to grandparents and stumbled upon BookWright; seemed an affordable choice but was very surprised they actually included an ISBN with the lit

I moved my network from PiHole to AdGuardHome after running them in parallel for a bit. Resource-wise they're about the same, but I found AdGuardHome to reply faster (with the same upstream servers). Haven't really explored featur

It's surprising you can live off $4200 / month in Sweden (after tax I presume that's about $2000 / month ). That is below minimum wage in a place like Seattle for example ($14.49 / hour ~ $2,500 / month gross)

I don't know why developers are so infatuated with laptops (and at this point I'm too afraid to ask? :)). But seriously, I need a full-sized keyboard, a mouse, and at least 2 monitors to feel productive. Yes, I realize you can pro

> Headcount was 87,314 as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 28% year-over-year Oh wow, that was misguided. Other companies have been slowing down hiring significantly (especially after the war started in February). I don't see h

Insert "BUT WHY?" GIF here. Seriously, if you're in a position to be running native code in your environment why would you chose WASM? If you're building WASM for the web, is it really more expensive to build a pure nati

Oh, stop making sense, you... :) I've found Musk fanboys to only be worse at downvoting / flagging any criticism than Apple fanboys whenever you mention privacy is just PR BS peddled while they're building their ad empire.

Oh, that's disappointing, I was hoping they're entering the MVNO space with a consumer offer. Instead, it's an offer for companies to further spy on their employees :(
