Likewise! Been running the snap version on a $5 DO droplet for half a year now and there's been nothing making me want to go back.

Sure the UX can be improved a bit, but it's been rock solid so far and gets the job done.

I got another one for you!

It's 2019, and Office for Windows still uses Internet Explorer to render add-ins built with OfficeJS.

This is slated to be switched to Edge (regular edge, not the Chromium-based build) with Windows 1903 and a newer Office version, but damnit if my life isn't going to be hell debugging IE for a couple months.

This supports what I've always wanted in a markdown note taking app...

being able to directly copy and paste an image from the clipboard.

We don't live in that time period anymore. Our current Era is tough in its own ways, without people like you invalidating someone else's troubles. Done be a one-upper.

Any title that's posed as a question can simply be answered with "No".

"#10 Recruiting: Gets involved with the recruiting process, such as outreach, screening, and interviews. Gives referrals to potential hires. Takes an active interest in new hires and onboarding. Is part of screening calls, interviews and code tests."

I can get behind taking an interest in new hires and helping out with the screening/interview process, but outreach?

No, that's the job that recruiters are paid to do.

I'm annoyed how the author never actually explained what Corium was. Just described it as "the most toxic substance" and hoped readers would go along with the ride thinking it's some new material.

All it is is an amalgamation of melted fission materials and reactor components like control rods.

Sorry for asking the obvious question, but this website seems like a play on words for McAfee.com

"This study, as well as other research on the connection between diet beverages and vascular disease, is observational and cannot show cause and effect."

And there we have it. The entire article written around what is actually not a study at all.

In my opinion, it seems to be the case that people who consume diet soda do so because they are trying to be healthier, but don't want to do the real healthy thing of giving up soda altogether.

That lack of discipline would surface in other aspects of their life and contribute to a unhealthy lifestyle as a whole.

And I'm sure that Apple or Samsung could rebrand and have that become the fastest growing smartphone.

The Pixel line is literally a new name for the same Nexus line, which was stagnant for years. Forbes is cancer.

Then don't buy an iPhone?

I don't understand why people keep bringing up this point.

Yes, it's your phone but it's not your app store. One can use an iPhone without ever opening the app store.
