It is already happening. If the most productive and smart people at your company are hindered by processes designed to basically hold them back, they are going to leave no matter how much you pay them.

Well, I have used Excel extensively so I know its warts very well. You can use Excel right but in my experience anytime I have seen even quite capable people working with Excel, nobody in that work setting would exactly describe it as fun.

Actually, at OrgPad.com my colleague Pavel (~Paul) is writing a collaborative editor in ClojureScript + re-frame/ Reagent/ React. There is even a very rough video about it (in Czech though) https://www.youtube.com/

I know it was meant as fun. I had a bitter laugh. :-) Actually, you want to work in a setting where you understand the need and value of a feature and how it fits into the overall design and feel of the (software/ hardware) solution to

Thank you for the insight. Certainly, "in the upcoming version" is a bit late for those affected and most of those other Exchange-related hacks in the past. The thinking around Exchange is still more or less left in the 20th centu

Well, I kind of am to be frank. OOP really mostly obscures an implementation and is often taught almost religiously as "the true one way". In the end, Exchange is a stellar example of the obscured and therefore unfathomable implem

Feature completeness doesn't mean the software is better. I think, many of those companies affected or the poor people there certainly wished for at least a moment they didn't use Exchange.

It is unhelpful to your business, if you get hacked and your customers lose trust into your ability not losing confidential data. The daily toil of using Outlook and Exchange is also substantial. You conflate functionality and complexity. I

Do they need table calculation or do they need Excel specifically? I am not saying, Excel isn't useful in any case. I am saying, it is very far from a good solution in many, many cases and state concrete examples.

You mean the industries, that are liable for most of the initial suffering during the 1930s, 2000s and so on? A case could be made that some of it lead more or less directly to wars. Accounting and finance should know much, much better to u

There just isn't much you really need e.g. Word or Excel for. If your corporate application doesn't run with a useful web interface, you probably have other issues too. Word is an application that puts looks, thousands of mostly u

The proper mitigation would be actually using much simpler, better quality software. Microsoft Exchange Server is quite famous for being an attack vector on corporate networks. At my previous job, the company was advised (by a very capable

Ammonia is quite ok. You can smell it :-) You can put it into water, where it is quite stable. We know how to handle it at industrial scale because of fertilizers.

It would be lot easier to just use sodium directly and have hydrogen as a by-product. (See my other comment.)

Well, I don't think hydrogen is the answer for all these reasons. It seems, that sodium (Na) can under certain conditions (very thin film, e.g. when applied to a surface with great speed of 10s of m/s) react directly with water an

Yes, this is largely by design. It should be obvious to you - the user - what the connection describes. If not, you can create a unit in the middle with a small title or something like that. You can also include e.g. an image, text, table o

I see this even with adults. You can certainly toughen up and work long hours and maybe even efficiently. Most people will probably do a better job with less than ~ 6 hours per day at least on intellectual work or learning. If you try to do

It also seems, that Starlink will not support IPv6 initially. At least the website and SpaceXs website are IPv4 only if that is a hint.
