Ideally, yes. But so many people only know of Word, or have been writing using Word for so long that they won't change their workflow and they simply do what works for them.

Word is tons more powerful than Google Docs, has add-ins, way more formatting and styling. In my mind, Google Doc is not a direct competitor to Word when it comes to professional editing and writing.

It's $40k USD which means it's at least $50k CAD. It seems about right for recent graduates with less than 2 years experience. I'm in Montreal btw.

Formatting really adds a lot of depth that is important for deaf/hard of hearing people. Maybe you should try thinking about people with disabilities some time.

"Officially", SRT files are only timecodes and text, but most players support html codes directly like <b> <i> <u> to support more formatting options than the basic SRT. I wonder if some of them simply render the text as html and could be vulnerable to similar attacks. I say "Officially" because SRT has no standard, it just evolved through usage and it's a fucking mess, as I'm a software dev working on a subtitling editor software.

A+ post.

Funny rambling backed up by a crazy well detailed article and you get downvoted by the HN hive mind. Docker is the ...ahem... whale in the room that you shouldn't criticize ever!

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE - MONTRÉAL

Your app has performance issues? Scale issues? Your database queries are slooooow? I'm a performance/design/architecture expert looking for contract work. Web or desktop apps. Specialized in everything Microsoft : C#, ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms, WPF and WinForms, WCF, SQL Server, Azure but I am also fluent in many many other languages and frameworks.

Email is in my profile :)

I downloaded Ingress yesterday because apparently Pokemon Go pokemon spawn locations are based on data from the Ingress map that was collected over the years. Ingress is sooooooooo complicated it's a major turn off for everyone who wants to play casually.

I often hear my friends talking shit about the spotify desktop app and web app not working properly. I don't use spotify but it seems like something's not working at least every month or two.

I just started playing around with ffmpeg for a side project of mine. I'm sad because it's C++ (and I didn't write enough C++ in my life to be any good in it) and I was looking around for a good C# wrapper exposing a media player that I can simply use in a desktop app, but everything I found was extremely buggy and laggy.

I'm currently trying to make an exact copy of ffplay.exe (since the source code is available) in C# using an tiny SDL2-C# wrapper and a tiny ffmpeg-C# wrapper, instead of finding a library that does everything. I'm glad to hear that ffmpeg is reliable and solid, I hope I can make it work in C#! (I'll probably put everything up on github if it works)

If I thought that was a really nice product and sent the link to my dad (he likes gadgets and cars, after all), he'd have no clue what to do after landing on the page. He usually drags the scroll bar to navigate a webpage. Good job on alienating a huge portion of your potential users.

This page has by far the worst scrolling interaction I've ever experienced.

First up : no scroll bar so there is literally no visual cue that I need to scroll. Scrolling "activates" the next portion of content.

Somewhere around the middle part : I can scroll and see the scrollbar, but WAIT! Another portion of the page starts hiding the scroll and hijacking the scrolling to show something. Uggggh again?

Scroll some more : Scroll bar appears once more! I am free to scroll to the bottom of the page. Nothing makes me hate a webpage more than some shenanigans like this that breaks what a webpage should be.

It's not better on a desktop browser... I have to right-click "View image" because there's no way to show the full size within twitter itself

I hope they enjoy their subtle and extremely hard to find errors.

I'm having a ton of issues with an Asus laptop that worked perfectly on Win8 and now every time I open it after sleep it's a gamble if I'll get a BSOD or not with "FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE"
