Been using Teams for 6 months, it's awful. Being asked to log into another Teams instance, for example, results in baffling issues; I had to switch to the web version and that only works sometimes. Turn off a VPN? Be prepared to sudde

Sorry for the late answer but only if you get an addon and those aren't provided by Heroku.

Heroku does not have a CDN. IMO you'd pay for Heroku because of the ability to have one vendor deal with your full stack, including Postgres, and having the ability to roll back / scale up with relative ease. You pay for that eas

I went to one of the Universities on your list, and the thought process of my fellow students was markedly different, depending on which faculty they attended. I don't think you know who the Canadian elites that you dislike so much ar

Anyone who lives in a Japanese house will attest to the awful feeling of waking up in a freezing house in even a mild winter in Tokyo. Or the murderous hot of summer that it has its own word for trying to escape it (避暑). The poor insulati

I have had to move from Slack to Teams. Despite what everyone says about Slack, Teams is much, much worse because of the complex and incomprehensible integrations with Active Directory. I have had invitations to meetings that I can click o

The poster mentions using Canvas to fingerprint browsers (which is new to me). Is there any obvious way to block it on Firefox? I found this addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canvasblocker

Yeah, I had completely forgotten the plot where the Captain of the Concordia and a former fighter pilot is sent on a commando mission (!). We never even find out why the Concordia was sunk (although I assume it was in some book). I think a

If I can drop in another, "The Humane Interface" by Raskin ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Humane_Interface ) gave me a lot of confidence to offer feedback about all sorts of interfaces.

The parts of that story involving Cobra are almost uncomfortable to discuss. It was an attempt to raise the stakes but I didn't like it at all. Even putting the weird "we should exterminate them all" Cobra character aside, t

I was so hyped when this game came out; I remember waiting 5-10 minutes for each mission to start on my computer at the time (a 486 dx2? Or a Pentium? Hard to remember). Clearing space to play it was a pain too. I missed some of the wc2

Hey, I was hoping you could share some resources about this subject! I always have a hard time finding any useful information about hydroponics and would love to learn more.

We have colder weather where I live, but I see I used 550 kwh per month (at most). Even if my house is half your size, 70 kwh seems like a lot for a daily baseline. I have a similar situation (kids at home studying, me working at home). D

I definitely feel that. The number of weird database issues that come up with flows (SOQL limits that non-developers don't think of) is mind numbing. My take away is you can't mix custom (APEX) code with flows without a lot of ef

Sadly that option doesn't even exist on the Canadian site for whatever reason. I did manage to find this ( https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=3&lang=en ) which they claim to honour. I probably should be purging cookies

I love the concept. Kudos! Some feedback; I have an iPhone and Firefox running on Ubuntu; they could find each other, but the iPhone couldn't send files to the Firefox instance. It did work with Chromium though (which was very cool)
