I'd say it mostly depends on what you work on, and that is not "a field" or "a job". I've had jobs where yes, I could easily be on phone support during the tasks and I've had projects that were usually hou

People are different. I can usually even answer a question on Slack without breaking concentration but if someone is talking to me everything's gone. Same as going to fetch a glass of water. In the office? Locking the computer and walk

Those 1$ offers usually come with just a single 10GB disk, so pretty useless for storing anything. Unless you manage to store the files elsewhere, which will probably have costs again.

You can't really say one is "superior" or even objectively better. Apple's touchpads are <unspecified amount> better than others but I still hate them and would always use a trackpoint (if I can't have a mouse

Two companies ago we had an actual old traffic light hooked up to that, but that was maybe a bit over the top.

The problem is that all the old digital cameras I have at hand are either too old or not high-price-segment enough to support any sort of looping video through, which is a shame. I have 2-3 of those and while they're not awesome, the v

Wow, I have a semi-old Sennheiser PC 320 G4ME (with a cable) and the hw mute has never let me down, also I'm pretty sure it's actually in HW, so how would the software fail?

Where would you draw the line for people to be an actual maintainer? Stars on Github for your project? A committee? Does it work if I have 2 users?

Even as someone who likes unique logins with email and usernames, I just double checked my Github account and I've used that to log in to 6 sites. As I finally deactivated my Twitter account last week and didn't check... I'm

Sometimes I'm wondering where you draw the line between influencer, "youtube personality", and "person with quite a few followers" though. I mean, on a basic level the third category seems to not even live (or just

I'm not sure the shape of the earth is good example here, because I, as someone not doing any geodesy professionally or at all, can accept the "sphere" as such a good enough approximation, like probably millions do. Every m

I see. I don't have kids but from what friends have told me, something like "only allow Peppa Pig and Sesame Street" sounds kinda useful. Guess it depends on the age.

I dunno, I've used Qt. You can argue that it's not "proper windows development tooling" and I can argue that 90% of apps I've written in my life have benefitted from being cross-platform. Happy to be corrected here,

Maybe it depends what you see as "littering" - when I'm talking the city center here, without bike racks, people 99% line them up against the walls of the houses, or lock them on to streets signs, which are usually ~30cm from

Genuine fondness? I suppose if I wasn't interested in languages per se I might as well have zero positive things to say about German. Being on the internet for 25 years, working in international teams, playing online games on internati

I think you're missing the fact that car infrastructure with curbside parking has evolved over decades, and cities have not managed to even provide ample parking space for standard bikes, as they have been in use for decades as well. N

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I've written the whole Linux application in the same time that I needed to get my build environment working on Windows. I still don't know how people can like developing on Windows, especi

Technically it's not the fault of the videos that web standards now allow easy embedding, it's still the people abusing it to show you video ads. Just saying it's worse than Flash... it's like saying browsers should not

But first you much reach the pension age, that's not a gamble I'm willing to take (don't remember any relatives who reached 90 years) and until then, good luck if you want to buy a house, as these jobs are usually not on the

Also completely missing the part of the population who likes async communication with friends and family via any sort of messenger or text, and deliberately not anything interactive like video. But ok, we might be a minority.

That's indeed a very nice explanation but I think it's wrong to completely discard pop music with its covers. You can have the the problem, but usually only on a title level, not on an album level - so the metadata thing can be tr

It still kinda works fine (ymmv) for me in Firefox on Linux, you just need a full 2 minutes to join a call, so maybe click early if you don't want to be late. The connection is usually (90%) followed up by a small hiccup where it seems

Not to defend Teams here (it's still worse) but I've had the Zoom client crash on me 100% of the time when I screenshare on Linux, only since the latest version - and of course I could not stay on the old one... Reported it and ho

No change, programs old and new should document where they litter their files. And if they do, you'll easily notice where in .config it will be.

You seem to have no problem with the looks of it though, people don't want "trendy" but maybe just don't like a certain color or style at all. Also when did you come into possession of that bedroom set? Was it your first

That's exactly me. If I could actually trust the stuff to be of high quality, I have no qualms paying for that. But if I can't find out/research it well enough, then I'll stick to cheap stuff. I happen to like IKEA a lot
