I can corroborate this. My family was involved in a chemical manufacturing business in India from the 60s onwards. My understanding from what my family tells me is that the 80s and early 90s is when a lot of these base manufacturing inputs became readily available.

I've had to use Google Sheets a lot recently, and it doesn't hold a candle to excel. There are a lot of basics missing esp. when it comes to charting.

But I don't like excel much either. If working with spreadsheets was a bigger part of my day job, I'd switch to excel

Janky LSP support is easily Sublime's biggest weakness. Hope they fix it in ST5 if that ever happens

I also paid for ST3, but I switched to ST4 for the hardware accelerated rendering. I don't like their licensing policy anymore, so I just dismiss the purchase signs. I want to get my company to pay for it because paying 100 USD _again_ is just absurd for me.

I have no plans to switch off though. This is still a heck of a lot faster than the alternatives

I was curious about how many inserts Postgres could handle so I made a synthetic benchmark to measure it.

Try BetterSnapTool.

As others have mentioned, this feature is patended. `BetterSnapTool` is $3 is for a lifetime license and does what you'd expect coming from XFCE/windows etc.

It's possible that Xbox serves as a loss-leader for introducing/keeping people in the brand.

For kids who may only have chromebooks at school, and macs at home, an Xbox may be the first time they make a Microsoft account. That account then goes on to accumulate digital assets and stays with them until much later when they're ready to make bigger financial commitments.

Anecdotally, for the past few years, gaming has been the only reason for me keep a Windows device around at all.

I'd argue that even as engineer 2, or VP of whatever, you're still replaceable.

Outside whatever thin veil of prestige your job offers you, the larger world couldn't care less about what you do or what you make.

> recruiters are bottom-of-the-totem-pole, lowest-common-denominator, bottom-feeders

Recruiters are just people just doing their jobs. It's a shame that you've labelled a diverse group of people so heavy-handedly.
