Sorry, but LibreOffice remains a pale shadow of Microsoft Office. While I tend to agree, the premise here is mainly 'is a poster child' and not 'is at least as good or better than alternatives'. Just looking at LibreOf

You need the key, but there are ways to get a .pfx out of it. Which I unfortunately don't remember, but that is probably documented by whoever you got the key from. And otherwise signtool can be used with the key, though it is not alwa

Powershell + ChocolateyGet (+ DSC if you want) does a pretty good job already. Apart from specialized software it's been years I had to install via tedious hunt for link + download + execute + go through wizards or similar. That being

The most common failure is just listing down the changes done in the code (the ones you can just read with `git diff`), I hate that Exactly. But I have noticed for some people this seems just really hard, don't know why exactly. Even

A good way to find a lawyer is to talk to good lawyers you have worked with in the past. I.e. none for me. Is it that common to have worked with lawyers then? I honestly wouldn't know how to find a good lawyer. I don't even thin

Works extremely well indeed. Like git was basically made to be used like this. However, only because of that 'squash and merge' aka 'sculpt a nice history with the emphasis on story' bit. Not doing that is in my opinion

You just have to know it is called 'network connections'. So like most other GUI things: hit Start button, start typing 'network connections'. For me it pops up after typing 'net' already. Which is actually eas

Still I wonder if you'd author all non-proprietary packages how many of these violations you'd find. Especially in smaller projects. Don't have any examples ready since I also try to avoid anything but established software, b

Well, those are 2 different PCs, so it's hard to compare them. Anyway I'm sure we all can come up with opposite stories as well, so to continue with anecdotes: unlike back in the days, blue screens (well, the ones I encounter, lik

Mountain bikes, gravel bikes, are slow Given the huge difference between the 2 I'm not sure what you mean? Also because these days 'mountain bike' is an umbrella term, whereas gravel bike is still rather specific. E.g. that

These aren't the types of bikes meant by the one you're replying to, I think: these are basically mountain bikes with modifications for day to day road use. The other are gravel bikes (which is what I assume means the ones used in

That's a good point actually. I've had my fair share of complete overkill designs in the past myself. Once I learned the problems it creates years later in large codebases I actively try not to do that anymore though. And to fix t

Most but not all apparently, though I don't think it's as bad as the one you reply to seems to imply. E.g. there's already some 'a lot of anti-Israel is also antisemitism' sentiment creeping in in some comments, wit
