If you are willing to fix stuff by yourself I can recommend Babun[1]. It's unmaintained but still works. Its biggest problem nowadays is running Cygwin update - some urls are obsolete and you need to substitute them. [1] https:/&

It took me years to realise that GDrive searches by file content by default instead of file name and that I need to prefix my search term with 'title:' to be able to find what I want. Now I just use their API to list all files in

Yeah, you need to master JQL to be able to find anything. Once you do that however (and once it's configured properly) Jira is actually quite enjoyable to use. I had a couple of episodes with other issue trackers and I always missed Ji

FBI got access to the phones in question. And you can do quite a lot with physical access to a device, including restoring messages from local cache. I don't know the technical details, but googling for "forensics whats app delet

In Poland legal consultation is not required and parting ways via mutual agreement is common here. While this system is often abused by companies there are many cases where it benefits employees too.

A company may threaten with disciplinary dismissal which in theory could diminish your prospects on the job market. I never heard of this being an actual problem (unless your position requires background checks) but maybe I just work in an

There was a little bit more to it. April 10th is an anniversary of Polish presidential plane crash that occurred 10 years ago in which many polish statespeople have perished (including Jarosław's twin brother). Since that crash Jarosła

I vaguely remember that change tracking was a feature in Word even before O365 era. Nevertheless, like others said - Office365 is what you need. Versioning in O365 is not necessarily user friendly and intuitive, but it works. It saved me a

Alternatively we could use public key cryptography and challenge-response protocol. Browser could generate a pair of keys during registration and send public key to a server. While logging in server would send a token that would have to be

Karate[1] has its own dsl for describing both json and xml. The output is short, but not very readable. For people new to the project it's rather cryptic. It is easy to maintain though once your team becomes fluent in Karate. [1] http

Don't let others influence you so easily! I personally know many people who are happy with LastPass, I've also seen many rave reviews. Choosing a password manager is a personal thing, almost like choosing IDE, so if you like it, s

Could you elaborate please? My company is slowly moving towards Thycotic, it would be great to know its pain points in advance.

Until not so long ago, the browsers' password storages provided absolutely zero security. They are better now, but still password managers offer some advantages. For me the most important is the ability to use multiple browsers. But th

Polish person here. Yes, the ruling party caters to ultra-catholic, right-winged people. While there are many people in Poland who don't understand LGBT and are therefore scared of it, they are a minority. We have a trans woman in par

Same in Poland - I've never heard of anyone asking for references here (at least not in IT). You need to bring some paperwork from the companies you worked for in the past, but it's for administrative purposes only, you do this af

Think of it as complaining about your ex-partner, when you are on a first date with someone you've just met. No one says that your previous company (or ex) wasn't bad and that you are to blame. It's just that people are not i

Just 3 words will not make a safe password. People are asking in comments why, so let me try to offer an explanation. First of all, we don't know how large is the dictionary. @Symbiote mentioned 132k words, but typically for diceware m

I think respect does not imply assumption of correctness. It's more like: there's a reason why the code looks like it does. The reason could be time pressure, some crucial information missing at the time when it was being implemen

It's ok to abstain from voting if you don't feel confident about providing an estimate for SOME of the tasks. However if team members cannot provide any input on any of the stories then you have a bigger problem. > usually resu

This is interesting. I was wondering yesterday why Wikipedia does not use CloudFlare or some other CDN, but then I thought that cost would be enormous. It also crossed my mind that CF could sponsor the service, but then again - even they ma
