>> How to open links in external default browser directly

>> Details: For the last few updates, when I click links in an email, Outlook app first opens the links in an embedded browser, which then has a menu command to open in (an external) browser. I would like to open in the default browser directly like it used to be before. Thanks.

Due to the new Edge Webview feature that is rolling out, links open in the app, but we are listening to your feedback!
Feel free to help us make Outlook better by suggesting it as a feature if you think that would be a nice addition.
Just go to Settings -> Help and Feedback -> Suggest a Feature. Developments are made based on the statistics generated by the users in this area, so don't forget to voice your wishes there!
Thanks! Bye!

>> Edge webview may be rolling out, but that is no reason for Microsoft to impose Edge browser onto users. My preferred choice for browser is not Edge.

>> Why should this thing even be under suggest a feature? I am not asking for a feature. I am asking what Microsoft is imposing as a 'feature' onto the users to be taken out.

>> https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/293346-outlook-for-andr...

>> https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/hndgxn/outlook_for...

>> I guess it's getting into the old habits, hmm!

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience this problem has caused you. At the moment, all the links will open in the "Edge Browser" an inbuilt browser of the Outlook Mobile app.
To view the links on your default web browser you need to tap on "3 Dots" at the bottom and tap on "Open in my browser"
However, I believe this is a great suggestion hence I do recommend that you suggest this feature on the direct channel which directly reviewed by the development team. Developments are made based on the statistics generated by the users in this area, so don't forget to voice your wishes there! Just tap the App Settings Help and Feedback Suggest a Feature page. Vote it up!

We might not have all the features you are looking for but we are getting there slowly.

>> No, Outlook for Android was already opening links in the browser of my choice. It's getting 'away' from that. Just because Edge browser is rolling out!

That has been changed, but we may have the feature back per users' requests!
I have seen and used a close-door-to-start microwave. It was a regular microwave where the timer knob was broken. Every couple of weeks you would use pliers to turn the remaining spindle of the knob all the way to the right to reset the timer. :)
You might as well buy something like the shuttle rather than a small knob stuck between two keys

I've been on Grindr for years, and I know first hand that their support is as bad as it can get. _Seriously_. I know because they also have a big automated ban problem. In trying to fight their bot issue, they've started auto-banning accounts that trigger their filter in some way or another. I've been banned 4 times without cause. Each time you have to contact support, who seemingly are either unable or not allowed to answer with anything other than canned responses. Three times the support person realized the ban was erroneous and lifted it without further ado. One time the person affirmed it, all while refusing to break from the canned responses or provide any justification. Most frustrating experience I've ever had with a digital service.
At least phrenology was somewhat honest in their goals when no one knew any better.

> Let me emphasize what I wrote above, that I think this could be a fine research project if conducted in an exploratory spirit and not over-sold. When I say it’s “worse than phrenology,” I’m speaking of the science; I’m not making any moral or societal claims.

But in this case it is more like palm reading disguised in scientific terms, there is no science there.

I went through the process. They reached out to me, and at first I was very excited and I just wanted to see how good I was. Honestly I didn't think I'd make it far. When I reached the offer stage after 2 months I took a long time to think if this is what I really wanted, and the fact that it was FB was one of the deciding factors.

Oh, and high paying: it was like 3x my previous salary, but not high for SV standards.
I only heard of hacktoberfest this year and as soon as I saw the website my first thought was "this is going to be abused". I'm honestly surprised they didn't see it.

Github has become like a social media of programming. Even before I heard of hacktoberfest I had noticed people building hollow or shallow profiles on github to attract employers.

Most recruiters won't go deeper than your profile, so they'll see a bunch of contributions but those might just be Issues created, PRs rejected or documentation adjustments.
In your quote of the abstract, you conveniently left out the last sentence:

"The treatment is purely classical, but motivated by links between acausal structures and quantum theory."

This is not unification of QM and GR, it's a classical construction which the author speculates might lead to such a thing. Such things have been around for a long time; the obvious (and far more progressed) example is string theory.
When I found gatsby, I immediately stripped everything out and hooked into the dynamic createPages so I could just give it a list of components to turn into pages. (I thought the graphQL parts were horribly bloated boilerplate, so I didn’t want to even touch it.)

It also works well with async import for runtime loading of components.

Other then that, I don’t use any of it’s features. (I found a markdown react on npm and manually move the images to the public folder and use normal image tags.)

I’m quite happy with the runtime results, and develop re-render works pretty quickly. However, the production build takes about 30 secs which is pretty slow and I also ran into “out of heap memory“ on node during build and had to increase node’s heap size.

So I’m sure I’ll end up needing to build my own SSR eventually, but it should be easy to do.

You mean those anticompetitive deals that basically prevent manufacturers from building competing mobile devices or else Google will block their access to Google Apps - the scheme called Open Headset Aliance?
Indeed. If you're an ISV packaging an application that uses OpenSSL, $DISTRO version N and $DISTRO version N+1 can easily be different OSes because they ship different incompatible OpenSSL versions, so what you do is provide a .deb/.rpm/.tar.gz that bundles a statically linked OpenSSL.
LXC/LXD both are open source projects not dependent on specific vendor or cloud provider to run. Indeed one can use LXC/LXD combination or use Proxmox, OpenStack, Opennebula cloud management platform all of them suppor LXC/LXD now. All these communities using LXC/LXD contribute to it.

Funny enough indeed Debian, RedHat, Suse and Canonical contribute to LXC project as well.

If you had issues with LXD try asking your questions on LXD forum and community will support you with your issues. It will not need Canonical’s blessings to support you. It’s unlike if you had issues with anthos k8s from google, you need to be a paid subscriber to get support.
Yep, the title is not a perfect match with the text indeed. I documented our interaction in the post.

They will just turn into a ephemeral place to get free books rather than the PirateBay.

It's a cultural loss turning them into something that just saves money.
Same in Germany but the tax is a fixed price of EUR 17.50 each month per household and no escape from it except for very few special cases (e.g. university students receiving financial support from the state).

Personally I agree with a mandatory monthly cost but it is way too high, should be in proportion to household income and the people in the upper ranks of the broadcasting companies shouldn't earn absurdly high wages and pensions.

Despite that I like to support proper journalism that is accessible to everyone and content that is often ad-free to watch/listen/read.
I've honestly found that the learning curve for Gatsby is too high. I've been using Next.js and I absolutely love it!

> Signaling bugs is as much work as it is to send a patch.

No it isn't. Adding new features a user wants, providing a way to test them and confirm they build and do what they're supposed to in different platforms is a huge amount of work that needs deep specific knowledge of how the app works and what is maintainable.

Reporting problems is useful and necessary. But don't compare it to actually contributing to the app.
GDPR enforcement against non-EU companies has not been tested yet, but this might be a juicy test case if there are any lawyers out there.
I know why it's slow, how this happens:

"How much RAM should we put in the TV boss?"

"Well, what is the requirement?"

"Right now, 1.5 GB."

"Then put in 1.5 GB exactly!"

"But we might need more after the next update!"

"You need 1.5 GB, not one megabyte more, that's the requirement, so that's what you're putting in. End of discussion."

... six months later...

"The next upgrade to the TV OS will need 2 GB of memory boss!"

"Who cares? Just let it use the swap volume, the slowdown will encourage people to buy the next TV generation."
A microwave only work with an on/off cycle. It runs on MAX for x seconds and off for y seconds. If you want 50% effect, it runs 5 seconds, then wait 5 seconds. Cooking it on low is just letting the food distribute the heat naturally for a while, instead of building up an energy bubble that will expload in steam. So low effect is good. It's still max effect but on half the time.

When cooking oatmeal porridge I usually do one cup oatmeal and 2 cups and a little more of water. In deep plate, full effect in microwave for 2 minutes but I watch it the whole time. When it starts building a volcano I let it go on until the edges of the volcano goes to the edge of the plate. THen everything is nicely cooked and I stuff my butter and a bit of salt in there and stir it until it's the thickness I want. Add milk to stop the thickeninig and eat. Maybe with some applejam on top. Oh, and make sure the oatmeal is not the generic type, it tastes nothing. There are really nice types around that makes oatmeal really great.

Of course there is a slowcook method too but I haven't tried that yet. Let the oatmeal just stand in cold water over the night, no cooking included.
While I'm neither an expert in data backup or an archivist I'm willing to guess that it would highly recommended that anyone using a method such as this to use high quality acid-free archival grade paper to avoid the inevitable ink fade that occurs with lower quality paper types.

I think you are referring to the Youtube gurus teaching stuff.

Its actually 2 fold, the short term goal of raking up some youtube views and getting the youtube ad money. Second is to pad the CV as an "advanced developer with lots of knowledge to share", it helps to put on CV and also be considered for some training positions which is demand as many are rushing to get into tech where "even kids are minting money".

I know a guy that put up some coding videos on youtube to be a "youtuber" and one of the big tech firms in India hired him to train their new recruits.
At the risk of mirroring antirez's response, and on top of that I suspect I might be misreading you, but still:

> If the guys deploying it have skin the game and you don't, your helping out encourages the dynamic that FOSS author time is worth less than paid dev time, that rather than send patches just complain and let the little people take care of those details. For free.

A good bug-report isn't merely whining, it's a contribution to the quality of the project. It takes some amount of time and effort to file a decent bug-report, and it helps the project better achieve its goal. It's less valuable than a good quality pull-request to fix the issue, but it still counts. (The same is true of good quality feature-requests, but to a much lesser extent in my view.)

That's different from someone having a sense of entitlement. Unless you're on their payroll, you aren't obliged to prioritise their bug. More generally, you aren't obliged to continue your involvement in the project in any way.
> Admitedly I'm not sure I followed. Like the link I provided. IPCC is predicting only 1.4c increase. Could you point to where the IPCC got that wrong?

From the report:
"This report uses mainly RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 in its assessment, reflecting the available literature. RCP2.6 represents a low greenhouse gas emissions, high mitigation future, that in CMIP5simulations gives a two in three chance of limiting global warming to below 2ºC by 2100. By contrast, RCP8.5 is a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario in the absence of policies to combat climate change, leading to continued and sustained growth in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations."

In my estimation, you too easily dismiss RPC8.5 and take the RPC2.6, the high mitigation, low emission scenario, as the default one. We're not currently on path for RPC2.6 and given that no industrial nation responsible for any significant proportion of our CO2 output is anywhere near meeting the necessary reductions, I dare say we're rather nearer somewhere a high-emission, low mitigation scenario.

> I feel like this is a bad argument because if the IPCC models are bad, then I question the beginning assertions that climate change is even happening.

No need for that. We've seen in the past that the climate models tend to be very 'conservative' in the changes they predict. But there are many known path-dependent variables, feedback loops and tripping points that are missing from most of the models. So, if anything, incorporating these into the climate models would result in much more dramatic changes. (see https://e360.yale.edu/features/as-climate-changes-worsens-a-..., https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/12/climate-change-tippin...)

> The Eemian was 2-4celcius warmer; but there was no extinction despite it coming on very rapidly. There was migration. Florida people might prefer Michigan for example.

A change in 2° C will already result in migrations that will put a never-before pressure on our political systems. We've seen the effects of a 'small' migration wave during the more active phase of the Syrian civil war, where we had some 6 million refugees. The refugees from the changing climate will number in the hundred of millions. We can expect some quite volatile situations to arise from this.
This. Since becoming a father I realised how annoying our analogue microwave knob is when you just need to blast something for 20 second while dealing with a screaming child. Either it's too short and you get 2 second, or it's too long and you get 60, now you need to do your best to cool the thing down quickly

In the time before baby, the analogue microwave was refreshing, now it's a nuisance.

Well it lacks the infinite size tape so technically it's not a "real" Turing machine. It has the basic boolean operators though, so you can compute anything you want as long as your computer has enough RAM.
If the App Store is more complex than Ticketmaster is by Apple's own doing. Certainly nothing that justifies taking 30% of all transactions that go near it.
> Open source is different

I believe the attributes given to open source here are wrong.

There is a ton of open source code that is crap where not even the author had any interest in making it actually good (the same is true for writing). There is code that is the result of what's alluded to be "copywriting work" that's open source.

For me, this reads like a strawman, or maybe super idealised version, of open source is like compared to a vague strawman of what working in a company is like. It feels like this is neither true nor are those the only options out there.

> So if a user of your software is addressing you because some part of your code sucks, and is willing to work with you to do something about it, and is very demanding, don’t think they are abusing you because they are not paying you.

I don't feel the users that are called "abusive" to maintainers and contributers are the ones because some of your code sucks and they want to make it better.

It's the ones that want you to pander to their use-case. That have unreasonable demands. But even the ones with bug reports and telling you your code sucks in some way, should have some basic civility while communicating. No power of refusing pull requests shields you from insults and the mental burden of being harassed because you refuse pull requests (or close an issue someone opened).

I personally expect other people to value my time, not necessarily in money though. This is a general rule of life, not a matter of open source.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the field.

An accomplished team leader, mentor and architect, I'm skilled at taking a leading role in the overall architecture of a project, in driving team developments and employing proven industry disciplines and best-practices to deliver successful software projects that frequently exceed client expectations.

I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully delivered large section of an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.

+ Successfully designed & delivered large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.

+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud web application and API with advanced OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

+ Successfully lead project to deliver a market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.
puts on hat from the second level of the pedant hierarchy

Assuming P!=NP!=co-NP, that computational model is equivalent to either NP or co-NP depending on the multiverse semantics you are using, not P^NP. If you can send the computation through multiple universes and get back a 'YES' or 'NO' answer, depending on whether the 'YES' or 'NO' is quantified existentially or universally on the leaves of the computation tree, you get NP or co-NP. Intuitively speaking, imagine you have a 3-SAT instance; you can send one assignment of truth values to the variables to each parallel universe for computation. If the multiverse answers you 'YES' if there exists one universe that says 'YES', that solves NP problems in P-time. If the multiverse answers you 'YES' if all universes say 'YES', that solves co-NP problems in P time.
Some context for readers: This is Antirez, the creator of Redis. Dude's insanely smart (saying this not yet having read the article).

Guess you didn't bother reading.
Be's IP (or the entire company? I can't remember) was sold to Palm for $11m at the end of Be, Inc's life. Palm actually ended up suing Microsoft for anti-competitive behaviour (on the now defunct Be's behalf), and that law suit was settled a few years later for $23m. I don't think Microsoft had to admit any wrong doing, they just paid the money to settle the situation.
> Open source is different, it's an artifact, it's a transposition in code of what you really want to do, of what you feel software should be, or just of all your fun and joy, or even anger you are feeling while coding.

Open Source does not always mean hobby project. Plenty of people make a living writing Linux kernel code, for instance.

Except for FX, there is no need for 24/7 and plenty of drawbacks; both in terms of overhaed and execution quality.

In fact the trend is in the opposite direction, towards shorter trading hours as well as more turnover in the opening and closing auctions.
Shorter hours especially would be a huge win for work-life balance and diversity in the industry, and just as importly for reducing costs.

Having the markets open longer only spreads liquidity thinner across the day, and moreover having announcements made, corporate actions processed, etc etc is better done when the market is closed so everyone can be on the same page when the happen.
When I file a bug report, I often feel I would like to add a disclaimer, along the lines of:

« I'm filing this bug report because I found a bug. This isn't a complaint that the bug exists, or a suggestion that you prioritise fixing it, or a support request asking for workarounds. It's just a report that the bug exists. »

But I think actually writing that would come over as rather snotty. Maybe the right thing is to write a post somewhere on what I think is the right attitude for filing bug reports, and discreetly link to it.
