I'm neither in SV nor a webdev. I just remember how many ordinary users hated the ribbon when it first came out. Presumably they adapted over time; I can't really speak to whether Microsoft would have been better evolving the existing menu system. Personally, I could take it or leave it--and at least intellectually the arguments for the ribbon made sense to me.

Startup Lessons from Pinboard
"Anonymity on the internet. People can say whatever they want without attaching their name, face and self-pride. This creates extremely unproductive conversations without consequences. Platforms such as Twitter propel this behavior to new heights. When it was local, you'd lose friends for being unpleasant, you'd lose credibility in your community for being inflammatory." [0]

No, that's not "by that logic". The entire point is that internet freedom is about things that are conceptually impossible to do on the streets. Like using a VPN or having net neutrality. It's not about whether you get to do things on the internet that are otherwise forbidden.
You can still download the history as a text file though - I did that.
Disappointed there was no mention of the ne plus ultra of first lines:

> It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Quite common if you were to watch a movie online for free. Not on Amazon Prime or Netflix of course, but not all movies that I am interested in is available on Netflix, Amazon Prime in my region.
This is disingenuous.

> If porn had no consequences then there wouldn't be a need for better sex education.

This is ridiculous. We'd need comprehensive sex education whether or not anyone watches porn. Before porn was trivially available online, teenagers still had plenty of sex. Sexual consent was still widely misunderstood too (and still is).

Of course pregnancy is a long lasting consequence, but if it is addressed by a program we need even without porn, it's irrelevant to porn.

> Exposure (regular or casual) to porn at a young age has some long lasting consequences.

If all you had in mind was condom usage and pregnancy, this is a bizarre choice of phrasing.
>Freedom isn't merely the choice between 'Fresh Stripe' toothpaste and 'Total Whitening' toothpaste - it's having the choice to go without even though it's dumb to have your teeth fall out.

Disagree, Vermin Supreme 2020.

That keep changing and moving about.

Top software engineering interview questions(with solutions) asked by me
The Premier of a German state is also the head of majority-party in the state legistlature. Also, they are sitting members of the state legistlature.

That being the case, state prime ministers have a huge amount of power and influence, directly through mandates and indirectly through party politics. And usually, they want to to retain the maximum amount independence for their states.

And as far as federal legislation is concerned, one state prime minister is not enough to pass, or trigger, anything by himself. For state legislation, they don't have to pass through the federal goernment anyway, holding the parliamentary majority anyway (minority governments are extremely rare in Germany).

I always thought it was odd the selfie stick was so hated. It seems like a clever solution for getting a better photo, and it’s not like it bothers anyone else around.

But I feel that’s why people hate it, it’s too clever. Seems to get derided the same way a nerd kid gets beat the fuck up in school.

Add a hat band to it to weigh it down. I did that with a really cheap Ebay Chinese broad brimmed hat. My hat band is made of Norwegian one kroner coins that have a hole in the middle, Some colourful string and fifteen coins makes a band heavy enough to keep the hat down most of the time. But sometimes that isn't enough so I added a stampede string (actually a bootlace) with a toggle so I could strap it tight when it's really blowing.

Sure, what can you expect, right? Imo not that any unrelated search yields porn. With google this never happened (actually I can't remember ever seeing porn images unexpectedly in ggl image search where I also had safe search off). It held me back recommending DDG to others. Though, as I said, things have improved a bit nowadays, and it happens less often.
I've used office daily for 20 years but rarely have to use the ribbon menu at all and, if I do, it's rarely off whatever is up there by default. But every time it is, it's way more painful to explore compared to a plain text menu and after I find what I'm looking for, it's hard to get back to the default.
Sometimes the views you see here are extremely biased. It's normal, we use computers all day, we are experts. We learn and adapt.

For some people, a computer is just another tool they've been recently forced to use in order to live in society (in many countries, you cannot longer reallistically do your taxes without a computer for instance).

As programmers, and especially those who work in UI/UX design, we owe some respect to those people, because those who take the extra effort to learn a radically new technology at an elderly age, are completely, utterly confused when companies decide to move stuff around just for the sake of it (or as a result of A/B testing?).

And yes, sometimes the only way I've been able to teach people how to operate a computer is by literally describing the UI and the icons. In my experience, finding a good way to teach via fundamentals to someome who doesn't care is extremely difficult. And believe me that I've tried it many times.

OTOH, note that none of my points apply to early education (school). In that case, I completely agree we need to teach the fundamentals, not UI.

Hell with saving the rich, the number of carve outs that benefit only the wealthy under the guise of protecting the environment should catch your ire instead.

instead of funding EVs and solar panels for those well off enough to pay for them we should be directing the same money to covering schools in solar panels and replacing petrol school buses.

just saying, there is outrage when it comes to government expenditures in every direction but people tend to only focus on what upsets them now.

But, the new ribbon interface was much more inconvenient.

If I recall correctly, pasting data while removing duplicates in the ribbon interface was Alt+AQORT, but only Alt+XY in the old Excel (I don't remember what X and Y were, but I know it was a 2 key combo!)

I wouldn't jump to conclusions and blame western reporting. I don't rule it out entirely but they could very well be taking those numbers from our media/sources which goes back to my original supply and demand argument. Our history has been re-written multiple times between 1944 and now and much of the data you'll find in the books since then has been written by someone with an agenda. Data from the periods before that were destroyed the day the red army set foot here. Coincidentally I own an almanac of Bulgaria from 1898 which survived (my family literally hid it in the woods, along with many other books which would have been confiscated and destroyed otherwise). Now they all proudly sit in my library and I'm certain that if there are other copies left, they are not more than 2 or 3. The official numbers which we are presented with now are very different from what this book states. And given my knowledge on my own family's history, I'm willing to believe the data in the almanac is a fairly accurate representation of the reality back then, which is arguably comparable to what we are experiencing now: not perfect but overall pretty good.
Memo to dev team - pay attention to tech stack risk
No, not really. Some 1 or 2 key shortcuts became 5 key shortcuts with the new ribbon UI.

It was a real nightmare! Especially when the old shortcuts were also remapped to a completely different function, and your moving s so fast you don't realise where your data has gone!
My reading was that private place could be read as bathroom or an unkempt bedroom rather than, say, a well decorated study or private photo studio.
My personal anecdote: I’m parked over on the side of the road because my carplay habits of Spotify and Waze both kept crashing to the dashboard.

I couldn’t help but notice neither app worked even after a reboot, yet google maps did. I was thinking there was a carplay bug and then thought: “oh boy here we go, what are the odds, let’s check hackernews” and bam, of course it’s the Facebook sdk again

I’m thankful that googles iOS-chrome and google maps doesn’t use the Facebook sdk for something...
It should be the default that my home folder isn't cluttered. I have tens and tens of pieces of software, it's very impractical to keep track what does what and if I have to get them to behave somehow.

This is an incredible tour de force of rhetoric/writing quality backed up with concrete, technical information. I've only read a few sections, but so much of it sounds like it could have been written this week, right down to the first sentences:

"Privacy and anonymity have been eroded to the point of non-existence in recent years. Our personal, private information is stockpiled and sold to the highest bidder like so much inventory at a warehouse."

The fact that such a trove of knowledge is published anonymously makes the work itself even more mysterious and compelling. This is the kind of WWW experience I want more of. Imagine all the countless other products of mad geniuses lurking out there beyond the meticulously maintained facades of social media and Medium-style blog platforms, styled with base HTML without a script, ad, or tracker in sight.
Cool, but needs a (2014).
> Not a twist at all, it was pretty obvious that the reason those laborers worked there was because it was better than the alternatives.

I don’t find it obvious at all. Children don’t get to consider alternatives, they do as they are taught. That’s the whole problem with child labor.
That whole forum is a dumpster fire. When a search takes me there, I brace myself to read a poorly-written, incorrect, dismissive answer. Nine times out of ten, the questioner is clearly more knowledgeable about the problem than the person answering it.

Please, visit! The Buffalo National River is one of the most amazing natural attractions in my neck of the woods. Nearby in Bentonville, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is the best world-class museum in the state, if not the region. I think we have some pretty famous art, if you’re into that kind of thing. Also in Bentonville is the corporate HQ of a little store which started in Arkansas, and kept growing, which you may have heard of: Walmart. A short trip from there takes you to Fayetteville, AR which is currently #4 in the nation for best places to live, according to U.S. News & World Report. Doesn’t hurt that the University of Arkansas is also in Fayetteville; my time on campus was longer ago every day, but the campus and its surrounding metro area is as vibrant as ever, and I hear good things about its Walton School of Business.

We have a legacy to bear as well, but I think we honor our mistakes and errors as well as our virtues. On that note, one of the projects I’m most proud of in NWA is our massive bike trails network that connects the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers-Bentonville-Bella Vista area. This area was on the route of the Trail of Tears; this section of paths is the Northwest Arkansas Heritage Trail, part of the NWA Razorback Regional Greenway.

> The US does not have the population density to make HSR viable.

The Democrats, after they take the Senate and Presidency, should launch a $1-$1.5 trillion regional HSR development project, partnering with Japan.

Here are the regional routes, generally speaking, that make tremendous sense and should be built this decade:

Oklahoma City, Dallas Ft Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Houston

San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Bay Area, Sacramento

Milwaukee, Chicago, St Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Baltimore, New York City, Boston

Arguments can be made for linking up New Orleans initially; then later using that to link into Florida and Atlanta. Later on you'd link Atlanta to Nashville, and then Nashville to Louisville, completing the Texas to NYC connection. You'd later take Dallas or San Antonio out to El Paso, and then to Tucson & Phoenix, and then to Los Angeles, completing Texas to California. You could also debate Atlanta to Charlotte to Richmond to DC, completing Texas to DC & NYC by another path and creating an easy link from NYC to Miami. No idea what to do about Portland, Seattle, Denver and a few others.

If you build the three major regional HSR sections, you get a de facto national trivially with just a few more connections.

Ideally we would work with Canada and they'd simultaneously fund HSR using the same tech from Japan for max compatibility, and we'd link across the border to Toronto (and they'd link Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City.

This can be done. All it requires is the Democrats to have the gumption to steamroll the zoning / regulatory / environmental bullshit out of the way using executive orders and being abusive with federal power as necessary to the loads of idiots that will inevitably try to get in the way. Knock them down, push them out of the way, build the fucking rail. We might get one good shot at doing it before we drown in debt and it's too late (ie we might as well drop another trillion dollars plus in debt into the never-to-be-repaid ocean).

The ribbon interface is one of the best things to happen to office.

It was horrible to use before that.

For an app as complex and feature rich as word or excel, the ribbon interface is a great way to organise commands.

Not to mention context specific menu tabs.

Especially in Powerpoint, my productivity has increased tremendously. I just create a table and automatically go to the last tab to format it.
First, consider what your goal is. Is your goal to use programming to get into something else, or is your goal to make a long career of it?

If it is the latter, consider that you will be running a marathon, not a sprint. Early on, look for positions and people to work with with good mentoring possibilities. Also, cultivate relationships with healthy and optimistic people.

Later on, look for positions where you can be the mentor, and don't be afraid to strike out in new directions. If you never fail at anything, you likely have not pushed yourself enough (a cliche, but true).

Like any marathoner, you need to take care of yourself. Physically, if you do not actively cultivate healthy habits, you will not last in this career. Drinking, smoking, drugs, unhealthy food, lack of exercise - they all take a toll. The couch potatoes who were ubiquitous in this field when in their twenties are gone within 10 - 15 years, or they are in a stagnant niche job.

Interesting; in British English in service applied to a human being means in domestic service, like the servants in Downton Abbey; applied to inanimate objects it means that they are functioning or that a bus, for instance, is ready to take passengers.

This isn't meant to say that your way of saying it is wrong by the way.
I am looking forward to future development of LibreOffice. For me it has become better and better. I've never had a new installation, or update of LO which made me think "If only I had stuck to the old version!"

More and more I am using plain text formats these days, which I then convert into other things, but from time to time it is nice to have LO at the ready, knowing, that it is free software and as such will always be available, in our collective resources.

A friend of mine recently complained about pictures disappearing and floating over text area margins in their document and having to put them back in in a 200 page document. I've never had such a problem. However, there seem to be some rough edges left to improve.

I cannot complain about the user interface actually. To me it is quite intuitive and I find everything I usually need rather quickly.
Unfortunately, my touchbar removed my escape key. Yes, I took a few minutes and remapped the caps-lock key to escape - but, I now have a single mb that has a different key configuration than every other mb and mac keyboard that I use.
