   That's actually a problem. Too simple, too convenient, too easily portable. Investors hate this. I wouldn't be surprised to see Facebook's and Alphabet's stocks rise up the day they announce that they will stop allowing

   Fully agree with the author except two things. First, I think he is biased by his own job and missed looking beyond the curtain: the problem he describes is not specific to software development. What he describes as "Institutional reck

   On my laptop, I made it somehow "cheaper" to run Teams by running it in a virtual machine with limited resources. I lost video calling but I just tell them "Teams is unstable on my laptop" and nobody ever questioned this

   Weren't the first Facebook users female student profiles stolen from hacked student societies databases? (I assumed the movie "social network" was somehow telling some truth.)

   I'm exactly one of these people you're referring to. For some reason people around me tend to thing I am much smarter than I am. It's not modesty of sorts, I am often involved in life or work situations where everyone around

    Just curiosity: it seems SJ was including himself in cc to his own emails. Why was that? I can only guess another email address, or some productivity technique to make sure he also had is own emails sorted in specific folders (i.e., not the

    Last time I tried: 1. Poor battery life 2. No Office (and running a VM brings me back to 1.) 3. No hibernate 4. No full disk encryption 5. Trackpad works better with Windows 6. Too many people working on their own distribution and competing

    Frameworks and SDKs serve three populations: 1. Developers who understand it's not efficient to reinvent the wheel, and also very often more secure. 2. Developers who wouldn't be able to do it without the framework. 3. Personal da

    Corollary to my comment in relation with the swiss banks example in another thread: when all actors face the same problem, it's not a problem.

    Very interestingly, most comments seem to focus on trying to propose you a "magic" product. The problem you are trying to solve is not a technology but a human issue: most organizations don't have the resources anymore to han

    Let's see what "shared responsibility model" means. If Microsoft is not lying to customers, this means the first thing they should do is investigating whether or not the flaw was exploited in any of the tenants at no cost fo

    Same here. I stopped clicking IG/FB shares for a long time thanks to their gated content. Added to Reddit's anti-browser policy and now Twitter, those are all great opportunities to spend less time on my smartphone :)

    In cryptography, a brute force (BF) attack should be the last resort for the attacker. Unfortunately, many designs involve poor crypto thus creating a context in which a BF attack is cheaper than other attacks. Unless BF attacks cost you mo

    I woukd say it doesn't matter and the mere fact that we are discussing this here indicates that we are in a bubble. To put things in perspective, if Apple's customer size is a football terrain, we are likely the needle in a corner

    I quit early 2021. Among other things, the fact that my employer was okay seeing me commuting 3 hours daily and paying it out of my pocket. Honestly, I didn't mind the commute (first class train, direct line, time deductible if I work

    I have many personal grievances against Apple, most of which are very likely to be the result of my personal biases. Still, this sudden outbreak of negative responses to this new feature seems unjustified to me and I fully agree with what y

    The analysis looks very reductive and seems to ignore the scientific knowledge about what motivates employees to quit/stay. One thing we know for sure: most people don't quit a company, they quit a manager. Companies are tradition

    One thing you could try if you haven't yet is share your issue with your son and try negotiating a set of rules that could be okay for both of you. There are two prerequisites. First, you did not mention how old he is but I can only ho

    I tried Keep a few years ago and I'm pretty sure this option wasn't there and needed to uncheck all items. I gave up at the time. I just reopened it after reading your comments and found this "uncheck all boxes". It look
