I totally agree. One reason I haven't moved yet is I haven't found something I would consider using that isn't proprietary.

Totally agree. Also handwriting is better for your handwriting! About ten years into my IT career my skills devolved into chicken scratch and I can't even read notes I wrote recently now. I need to do something about that.

EOL for old desktop version. There's a new terribly crippled UWP desktop version and the cloud based web app available going forwards. They are absolutely terrible bits of software compared to the old desktop version.

I remember the poll tax riots in 1990. That was the last time we made significant change through protest in this country. https://imgur.com/4ShiHgb

I have been using it for about 15 years so am in the same situation. I haven't found a suitable alternative yet. Annoyingly they're going to EOL the cloud connectivity for it in 2023 and then the product in 2025. I've taken a

I can understand why people don't do it. We weren't taught how to learn at school or college and when we turned up at university we were expected to know how. It took me a semester of alcohol fuelled hedonism, followed by screwing

I see it like this. If you're a single user, effective offline backups are probably a better investment. It's not that bad starting from scratch if you have all your data. It takes me about an hour to throw a usable build onto my

If it's a crash on the server, you should be logging it. if it's a crash on the client, you should apologise to the user and ask if it's ok to send the crash dump to the supplier and give them an option to review the content

It does ship with windows 10 but it's a UWP app and it's rubbish. It's missing on Office 2019. See: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/onenote-2016-is-mis... This one totally caught me by surp

Run away from OneNote quickly. Microsoft are not shipping OneNote desktop any more, preferring the horrid UWP app. Another vote for paper or neutral formats here. They persist longer than vendor whims! Case in point I wrote a lot of my work

Because it's very much an edge case and he hasn't passed yet. A lot of people get to the end of their course and realise they have thousands of pages of useless words and diagrams and have a nervous breakdown. It takes a lot of di

Sorry I should have used a different word. Write the name of the equation down / bullet points. Don't write too much. Just enough to jog your memory later or cover anything you don't think you understand.

No they aren't. They disclose vulnerabilities to US government agencies first and stil to this day have no transparency about what information they share with governments.

So you're saying: "shut up and these pills they're good for you!" No thanks. That's disrespectful towards the customer and quite illogical. Why? 1. We deal with a lot of personal information and we do not want risk

I don't agree with this. Perhaps it's possible for someone with exceptional LaTeX and vim knowledge, but even after using both for 20 years I wouldn't do this. The point of the lecture is to assimilate structure and basic und

Totally agree. I keep crowing IaaS only but everyone has their fingers in their ears going lalalalala. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not my funeral now.

Not wealthy - they just stole the fuel or put £5 a time in the tank after asking everyone in the vicinity to "gizz uz a fiver mate". I think that's where shed started. A lot of people got lucky / rich and actually finish

Yes AFAIK it started in Essex where someone would buy a “shed” car typified by the Vauxhall Nova with various attachments to it and drive it around town all night being a “Barry Boy”. As we all got older, grew up and went to work in the cit

He might be knowledgeable but you got shipped what is colloquially known as a “shed” here in the UK. They’re ok when they work but when they don’t they can burn your house to the ground or empty your entire NAS to a random IP in China. You

I keep seeing these and going ooh and ahh and then I realise I’m happy enough with my hack job T440/450 hybrid frankenpad which cost pocket money in comparison.

Actually sometimes they are inciting it. There was a “paki patrol” (their term not mine) that originated in a local pub in a town I lived in. They did do things about it. We pulled one guy out of the river and helped him after they had chuc

I've heard the same horrific shit in casual conversation in numerous pubs in the UK in the last 30 years and the people in there certainly don't know what 4chan or 8chan are. In fact the horrible things pre-dated the proliferation

Even worse. Doing something you love for work means you end up hating it for a lot of people. Then you spend your entire life drifting and finding nothing else you love. I do something I hate enough to walk in with a sword and fight it ever

Indeed. Epoxy even sounds like a stupid idea. I mean how are you going to repair that next time. It’s impossible to dig that stuff up.

It’s just as bad at Citroen here in the UK. I had to replace a wheel on mine after I dinked it. Citroen had a two week wait time for this. I managed to get a wheel off eBay next day for £60 and took it to the local hooky tyre outfit who put
