If their boss doesn't let them just get to work without thoroughly documenting everything that's a larger problem. As good a time as any to start looking for jobs with bosses that don't suck.

There's nothing quite like having to spend a load of time justifying everything your team wants to do to the team above because they need to justify the things their teams need to do to the team above them. Sometimes things are just ob

I’m relatively sure it’s the lack of several host to host hops in the network requests that makes an on-prem install so much faster. The way Atlassian’s hosted services handle requests is mind-bogglingly awful and necessitates several round

Atlassian products in general spray out a huge number of requests to dozens of hostnames for even the most basic of actions. It scares me to think how their organisation is structured internally given the outwardly visible result. If you’d

What a horrible amount of overhead. Why does Defender need to scan the contents of a bunch of non-executable files? I suspect the answer runs deep and is at least somewhat horrifying.

I appreciate your terse explanation! The "Historical significance" section on the Cape Bojador is impenetrable in my current tired state.

Ah, you're right. I did actually click that link but something about the way that article is written made scanning for the specific thing I was after while tired very difficult. I'll re-evaluate this perception after I've sle

What about Cape Bojador made it impassible for so long? I know essentially nothing about navigation or ships in general besides that they don't travel over land particularly well[0], so if you know of an easy to digest resource I'

On the topic of blocking distractions, I've found that creating a separate user account for focus time helps quite a bit, since it's sufficiently annoying to remove that particular barrier. Choosing not to configure a keyboard sho

It's not about risk, it's about it being annoying. When I click a link where the hostname is i.imgur.com and the path ends with jpg/png/gif, I want my browser to load a single image resource and not an HTML page.

Without even bothering to check, this seems like it can't possibly be true. You are surely not saying that the billions of Chrome users worldwide have no browsing history from September or earlier, right?

I can confirm from monitoring the traffic coming out of Ripcord that it doesn't track anything about you at all. It's wonderful. It'll check for updates on launch, performing a single HTTP request, but if you really like you

If you would like to try an alternative Slack client which doesn't require Electron, give Ripcord[0] a try. I'm not affiliated in any way, just a happy user. If you really wanted, it's so lightweight that you could use it jus

They've also mentioned cmd-F7, though, and that is the same key you are referring to. It strikes me as odd that they would call it splat and then cmd in succession, if that is what happened.

It would have been helpful to have quoted the sentence you did not understand as I cannot be sure that I now see the same thing you did. However, in case we are seeing the same thing I’ll reword the following sentence for you: > By that

I personally wouldn't bother arguing with this user on this topic unless I were really bored and in the mood to waste a bit of time. Check out their comment history for yourself and decide whether it's worth it.

In a similar vein: "Why are you using a Mac for development in the first place unless you have to develop software for Apple devices? Why not run Linux if everything you write runs on Linux servers?" Your post reads less like a si

Why would such a device need to be connected to a network at all, never mind the internet or AWS in particular? A user’s floor is typically contained entirely within their home. Is there an app shoehorned into the product just to spy on use

A query need not be started with a bang. Just add 'g!' or 'yt!' anywhere in your search terms and it should work fine.
