How do they handle rough seas?

English is vague, even when accounting for that fact. It's much more difficult to detect or correct misunderstandings over text.

My biggest issue with this concept is time. You write your wall of text, I see that you've failed to account for some factor, so I write my wall of text. You don't completely understand my wall of text and ask for clarification. Back and forth, asynchronously. In a call this can be resolved in minutes. Over text this could take days

I don't agree with the overall conclusion of avoiding AI tooling but this was really wonderfully written

Here in Calgary we use cloud seeding to reduce the impact of hail storms. If meteorologists predict a hail storm, they will seed the clouds outside of urban territory to reduce the property damage caused by the hail

I recently moved jobs so I could be in-person again after 2+ years remote. Whiteboarding and micro-interactions (bouncing ideas, quick clarifications, brainstorming) are very difficult to duplicate remotely and I felt the lack of these were having a significant negative impact on my work. This is a way bigger deal to me than any of the negatives that come with coming in

Was going to reply with WPF. The best I've used for UX dev

This is my guess. They're worried about precedent. If this is allowed to stand it gives other jurisdictions a roadmap for how to shut this down

I've always thought that Excel is the greatest piece of software ever written. The ease of entry, the extensibility, the impressive collection of built-in tools/formulas/charts. It gave regular people the ability to do data analysis and in so doing became perhaps the most ubiquitous business tool in the world aside from email. Happy birthday, Excel.

Our high school's local admin password on every machine was the name of the school district. Used it to install P2P software and emulators on lots of the machines throughout my time there. On grad day I was setting up a slideshow with my CS teacher and the domain login wasn't working. I said "just log in with local admin". He said "I don't know the password". I did it in front of him. His words: "I don't want to know what you've done with this"

I assume the registrar was also the nameserver in this case

I think one of the main issues with 3D is that you are forced to focus on what the director intended you to focus on. This is not true in 2D, you can focus your eyes on a blurry area over the characters shoulder without a problem. It will be blurry but your eyes can focus on it. In 3D, your eyes try to bring that unfocused bit into focus like they can in regular 3D space and that's what causes the headaches/vertigo/eye strain.

Use Authy instead of Google Authenticator. It allows multiple devices and backups

This exactly is why I use LastPass

This article was trash. If the author thinks that Twitter's main function is finding out what your friends ate for dinner then he's an idiot and doesn't use Twitter. Twitter's problem is exactly this. The general Internet population thinks it's like Facebook but less useful and with a character limit. They have a branding problem
