Excel in browser is unreaponsive, laggy and unproductive for power users. It is like a toy version of the standalone app. Also it sucks with lists, pivot tables...

Many people here are very knowledgeable: they have Putnams, they are CEOs smurfing, run 300 people teams, made some software that all know (e.g. we have the Diablo 2 guy), people from hardare side, VCs.. Some are probably multi millionaires

If you need to use Excel at work, you need x86 since Excel for Mac is a gutted toy (MS wants your company yo buy / subscribe to windows too). And google sheets in my opinion is not good for complicated stuff - the constant lag..

This article is so poor. Could be 2 sentences. Language designed by a king. Also its sad that they put the years 1393-1897 first. As if it took 500 years. On page 3 we learn that 4 characters are not used anymore. We dont learn which charac

Reality is that simply very few people use this functionality. If those two open access sources become big enough, it is quite clear that someone will make a project to reconcile the data between them. If any of those projects skyrockets th

If the kids are "parented" by terror, not actual teaching, they will have a problem once they leave their bubble. Never met that guy who drank every day at university or that opressed girl who fucked 50 people in the first year? S

More like snobism: reading classic books for the sake of being able to brag about them. As if that made someone a better person. If the author at least did something creative... but nooo reading Brothers Karamazov as a kid is better than pl

I find it fascinating, that hacker news, the literal community for people tinkering with stuff seems to be full of people who want to gut their kids instead of teaching them how to use stuff responsibly. Probably tons of people here know ho

Nadella didnt build anything though. He is there to outsource. Microsoft products start to feel cheap and buggy. But hey, they are probably made by people who are earn less.

Copilot works with MS office apps and is monetized by microsoft via subscription. Of course it could be better, but of all companies it seems that Microsoft managed to monetize best - sice copilot gets integrrted to the MS Office package

Most of the "free market" people dont understand that many markets can be cornered and oligopolies (or duo- or even mono-) can form. A lot of the stuff assumes that it is 1850 and everyone can buy land and farm potatoes. With &quo

So you go to university to get usable skills, or to meet people? Would you prefer a doctor who studied hard and was the best of the best, or someone who bribed their way and checks notes played basketball with the president's kid? If
