One of the most awful pieces of software I've ever had the displeasure to use. It's decent for calls, that's the only positive I can name.

The chat experience is by far the worst I've ever had to deal with:

- My sidebar is riddled with old meetings chats nobody cares about anymore. Makes it hard to find actual important direct conversations with people.

- The text editor is absolute jank, I've yet to figure out how to get out of a quote after starting one, lists constantly glitch out, it keeps "bold/italic" state like office but with no easy way to remove it.

- Because it connects to sharepoint you get to enjoy all the lovely permission bullshit when trying to share a simple freaking file. Half the time I post a picture it glitches out for me and I can no longer see it. Or I can see it but not if I make it fullscreen.

Honestly the abysmal performance is just the cherry on top...
> There's an undescribable absurdism of this era.

One observation I've made time and again throughout my life: a large chunk people live their life using a very simple, greedy algorithm (not as in greed, but greedy in the sense algo theory): deal with problems when they appear, and don't think about them until they do.

This is why people build houses in the path of lava erupting from a volcano: it's never an issue until it becomes one.

The smaller portion of folks who do plan ahead (because they are capable of it) and anticipate problems before they occur is the portion that gets ahead.

I don't think this is something that is specific to this era.
> Azure's methodology is "copy whatever AWS is doing" (source: engineers inside Azure), so they inherit the same issues, which makes sense for Microsoft because they've always been an organization gone mad.

I guess this, but it's funny to see it confirmed.

I got suspicious when I realised Azure has many of the same bugs and limitations as AWS despite being supposedly completely different / independent.

And what percentage of people do those kinds of studies? And for those who do, what percentage of the time was still spent on useless things?

I'm about 15 minutes into a podcast with the author about the book (linked elsewhere in this thread) and from what I got so far, it's indeed about the majority case, not the couple of engineers that obtain applicable knowledge. It's also mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

You're right that it does seem like a youtube title among books and I get the frustration, but you're also exaggerating what the author is saying and posting that version online for everyone else to take home.

What has been broken for months is viewing images. When I click the thumbnail to enlarge it, the image viewer appears but the image doesn’t load. Rinse and repeat 3/4 times and I can eventually see the image. Other members of my team experience the problem. I cannot fathom why MS has not prioritised that bug fix.

One colleague who’s on a modern desktop with an i7 and 32GB of ram waits the upwards of 20 seconds to load a conversation.

In the past couple of years Teams has sores in popularity and perhaps the dev work has been focused on scaling. It’s clear to me MS need to allocate some developer for getting the fundamentals right.

When you join a company, you have to sign a NDA that covers not only the company's trade secrets, but any trade secrets of that company's partners that you are exposed to. So, Microsoft is somewhat free to share their source with select partners whom they trust will keep it secure, and only share with employees who need it.

I don't think Joe's Software LLC would have been able to get the Windows source code, even with an NDA.
BTW I will note that almost all Rust crypto (including that used by both packages) is all based on the ring crate, which is rather problematically managed and is itself a bunch of assembly and C code that's just taken straight from BoringSSL and OpenSSL.

The answers to your questions definitely vary by region. If you're building a house, one of the first things you should do is get a structural engineer's assessment of the lot before you plan the foundation, because soil type, bedrock depth, freeze lines, environmental concerns, etc. all affect this.

But yes, it's fairly common to do this if you care about structural integrity over the long term. In areas with soil type that support it, it's more common to do simple slab foundations without footings, but in most of the US footings are used and the foundation is built as part of a crawl space or basement. Sometimes excavation for a basement is deep enough to get below frost line, or to bedrock itself, it depends greatly on the region.

"Reasonable cost" is kind of a subjective thing, but I'd say starting with a a good foundation is a bare minimum of requirements for what would end up qualifying as "constructed properly", so at least as far as I'm concerned this is an absolute requirement.

Maybe I'm missing some aspect of the text? AFAIK, "feel sad" and "eat chocolate" are different things (with a cause and effect relationship) and "see a problem" and "spot flaws" are the same thing expressed in different words, so what's the cycle here?

I've been impressed with AndiSearch so far. I use a mix of Google and DDG and this seems to do a great job at search relevancy. I'm still hesitant on a few things before making this my default search engine but I'm really excited to see where AndiSearch goes.

- How does it handle privacy concerns? Personal information collection, tracker-blocking, etc.

- Technical search. Google isn't perfect at this either, but sometimes I want to search for a specific piece of code/error message and resort to appending "site:stackoverflow.com" to Google. But this limits my search results to SO. It seems like the search input for this kind of thing is pretty different than regular, "conversational" search and there's a need for a tech-specific search engine that caters towards code searching/technical string parsing.

- Not a huge fan of the "conversational" UI. I see "Assistant Mode" in the menu but I can't seem to disable it. Maybe I'm missing something. I do like the simplicity of having just a free-form search bar. There's a higher bar of entry for use if I have to learn how to interact with the search bot.
There is almost no way you can handover any HomeAssistant installation during a home sale, not unless you want the buyer to be calling you for help with technical issues/gremlins months after the sale closes. Every single Home Assistant installation is effectively a custom install - there can be almost zero commonality between two different setups really. Things break because you don't update them; they break because you do update them. It's a small but constant stream of maintenance tasks once your HA installation reaches a certain degree of complexity and new owner is likely not going to be interested in that at all?

For me and my own HA install, I accept I will have to revert everything to how it was when I bought the home, which is itself a really tragic statement on the state of home automation in 2022. I get satisfaction from running it, but it does require running. It is not an "appliance", and there are still no real building codes/standards for ensuring these things stay compatible for years to come.

Similarly, if the seller tried to convince me to take a house with their own home made HomeAssistant setup, I would likely request it be removed completely before I closed the sale, regardless of any perceived quality of the work. If nothing else, I couldn't trust they hadn't left their own remote access ability somewhere in the stack and I don't have time to audit what might be years of quite hacky integration work.

There is an old saying, "Never sell a car to a friend". Home assistant is like that, but you should never sell it to anyone, regardless of how good you think you've got it running today.

I went though exactly that, and it's disheartening, indeed. I was fortunate enough to finally get my financed offer accepted, but only because the sellers were explicitly rejecting cash offers from investors. It was a family home, and they wanted it to go to someone who would maintain and live in it. Keep looking, keep trying, and maybe you'll get lucky too.

>How does the Canadian government know the wallet addresses?

These so-called 'wallets' are cryptocurrency addresses for receiving donations. Therefore they had to be made public knowledge so that people can donate to them.

>what stops you from transferring your balance to a new address that isn't on the list?

Probably nothing. Anyone who has the private key can do that, and possibly has plausible deniability. The money can no longer be moved through any Canadian exchange though, because the exchange will freeze it, according to this government order.

I see Google search decline in three stages:

- When they became ad obsessed where entire search results are filled with ads or YouTube recommendations

- Developed recency bias, aka if it's new it must be better, which has incentivized frequent content regurgitation rather than originality

- They became Woke, disappearing results that apparently aren't passing the Woke Filter and/or that don't align with political ideology/objectives

As for reddit, does anyone really trust reddit? Reddit is absolutely inundated with crap, spam, blatant marketing campaigns, political bias, and all sorts of screwy stuff. It's also highly manipulated, and no more trustworthy than Yelp, slightly more than Yahoo Answers.

Search is ripe for disruption but it's a tall order, and user/marketer generated crap like reddit certainly isn't it.

I had a similar issue but with an i9/16GB RAM/SSD. Teams would open really slow, hang a lot and the best, drop off meetings in between as soon as I activated other applications. I use Slack/Outlook a lot and this aggravated the problem. Solution was to upgrade to latest Macbook with 32GB RAM. It now runs though I still have issues - just the audio goes out between meetings. I was lucky to have the work laptop upgraded.

In short, Teams is crap. My daughter uses Google Meet at school and its so fast/fun/easy on an old 8GB laptop.
Yes, I suspect you may be correct in suspecting your USB dongle or keyboard from sending a power-on signal. I ran into a similar confounding problem where bluetooth keyboards and trackpads in a drawer were being pressed/activated and constantly waking my laptop up when it was connected to an external monitor!

I don't fully understand the task you were trying to complete, but Preview is not an image editor so I don't think it can do what Photoshop (or other image editors) can do. It can however combine multiple PDFs into a single document by drag-and-drop, and this is documented in Preview > Help.

I was trying to say something that is perhaps a bit more nuanced than "it's easy once you know how to do it" or even "it's easy to find once you know where to look" – specifically, the Mac UI was originally intended to be fairly discoverable by exploration (and relatively clearly documented), and although some of this has been lost due to iOS-ification, much of it still is:

1. Menu items such as Shut Down are easily discoverable (but in your case it didn't work, perhaps due to an external keyboard turning the system on.)

2. Export to PDF is very discoverable, but isn't universal; print to PDF is discoverable, and is documented in macOS Help, but is perhaps more subtle than it should be because it's in the Print... dialog. I suspect its location there is due to historical and implementation reasons rather than testing users who are unfamiliar with the system. "Preview" after all is named as a "print preview" application rather than a "PDF viewer" app.

3. Screenshots are discoverable by searching for "screenshot" in System Preferences or macOS Help. If you forget the keyboard shortcut it's in a fairly logical place: Keyboard > Shortcuts.

4. On macOS, the Help menu is contextual based on the current active application. Overall system help, titled "macOS Help", is located in the Finder's Help menu. This is perhaps a bit subtle for Windows users who may not know what the Finder is (it's like Windows' File Explorer) and might not realize that the Help menu is contextual. There are "macOS Help" entries for each of these tasks, but you need to know to look in "macOS Help".

While much of the macOS UI is still fairly logical, discoverable, documented, and consistent over many releases, that doesn't mean that a Windows (or Ubuntu) user will instantly know how to use it without learning some important design differences, or vice-versa. The good news is that once you learn them they're fairly consistent across the system.

An interesting point that you might be suggesting which I definitely agree with is that even after 40+ years of development, traditional desktop GUIs can still be greatly improved even without changing their fundamental design.
Yes, it's because it's shipping with an entire web browser. Although I agree with others here this is only part of the problems with MS Teams. It's not a very fun application to use, honestly. Everything is sluggish and many UI decisions are not great.

But at least the performance should get better some day. Microsoft has now made the "personal" edition of Teams that is shipping with Windows 11 into one that instead of shipping a browser, uses Edge as a renderer (WebView2). Since that's probably already cached in RAM anyway, it launches near instantly and consumes much less RAM than the clunky edition that doesn't share resources with anything else.

However, MS Teams for Business still does not exist in such an edition although I assume they are working on it.
You can have an opinion about everything, but others are not obliged to like it and/or give you a platform for it. Baseless opinions are not interesting to read, and if there is a base for it, then that would be worth posting. Also, not sure why you're afraid of troll responses given that your comment is literally trolling (merriam webster, definition 2c).
I'm not clear that IPv4 doesn't offer at least one measure of reduction against a DDoS, and that's just one time hits every second from 1 quadrillion unique IPv6 addresses. You simply can't have that level of problem in IPv4. However, I have never been on the inside of a DDoS attack, so I don't speak from experience on this.

In regards to mitigation, what we are talking about is an exclusive network with central controllers in the form of ICANN. Every packet has digital footprints, so what ICANN could do is permit IP address blocks to be seized and transferred when it is demonstrated the owners are consistently using the network for purposes of doing harm, even when it is through negligence. This would work its way through the service level agreements between various ISPs. As in the rest of the business world, you cannot just dump your garbage onto someone's property without eventually being forced to pay for it.

And if somebody comes in and upgrades your knowledge, be cool about it. They just did you a favor.
They almost certainly are. Retroactive studies of climate predictions made by the IPCC found that they were consistently much too conservative.

And there have been multiple climate related events in the last few years that were worse than the worst case models. (The heat wave in the US's pascific northwest last summer.) Others that are occurring way ahead of schedule - for instance, models predict the equatorial region having days of deadly heat by 2080, it happened in 2020.

So, any time you see a climate prediction put forth by a major institution, I would assume it's going to be too conservative. That has been our pattern so far.
I’m super bad at this, great advice.
I can't speak for Google, but as a Microsoft eng/manager, I _CERTAINLY_ keep an eye out for discussions on my product not only here but on other social channels, and will, if actionable/relevant, try to get it in front of the right eyes; you can likely find some of this in my comment history.

Full disclosure, this is not some MS policy or otherwise, and I don't want to convey that I have some deep system/make assurances that I catch everything, just to emphasize that I find keeping an ear to the ground valuable, and that peers often appreciate hearing the news as well, even if (and sometimes especially if) it's bad news.

In terms of what they "make of it", that's obviously situational, but I've usually seen it approached constructively or as a potentially novel/holistic source of insight.
you don't really need a 'source' for that do you? - it's common knowledge that people reuse passwords across sites. It's not best practice for sure, but plenty of people do it. If some low quality site leaks your email and password and if you were dumb enough to use that as your master password for your password manage, you are at more risk than if the bad actor didn't have that information.
