I think the point of "humanity will always have a desire and/or find reasons to want to go to war with itself, and the only way we can at least slightly stop that is because it gets too expensive" is quite poignant.

No it wasn't. HL2 was the first game released on Steam but it was used before that for CS updates and asset downloads. Both during the beta and after that.

Every "team" you make in Teams is a SharePoint site on the backend. Every "channel' under a "team" is a sub-folder on the SharePoint site. Each time you upload files to a "channel" via the "files" tab, it goes into the Documents area on that SharePoint site[1].

The exception for this, is private channels (the ones with little padlocks next to their names). These are created in their own isolated SharePoint site outside of the parent "teams" SharePoint site. It's done this way because the access security around teams/channels is the SharePoint security system. It's a totally nuts way to do it.

Teams is basically built using existing MS technologies in the same way that incorrect LEGO bricks can be forced together if you try hard enough.

I don't think MS have the ability to build an application from ground up anymore.

---

[1] The one upside of this, is that if you only care about the files held in Teams, you can "Sync" the site to your PC, and it appears as a virtual folder in File Explorer.
Not really.

The reason Steam exists and is as strong as it is, is because every other game developer abandoned PC gaming and went to the consoles, for an entire decade.

Including Microsoft.

People not only hated Steam, they hated PC gaming.

How to Have Better Arguments
FYI I was mostly trying to be funny throwing around TLAs to show OP that not everyone on HN is based in the USA.
One of the worst cultural crimes the US has committed (hyperbole for comic effect but a touch serious) is to remake Nueve Reinas, the wonderful argentine movie.

Certain things just have to be left as they are.
I'll bite... what's it called?
These launchers are the worst. I have five or six of them installed on my machine that are required to play the games I bought. Sometimes a launcher launches a launcher. Often both require an update.

Whenever I boot Windows to play games, I have to be ready for multiple GB of updates to download, on a metered LTE connection, just to be able to open the launchers.

I am not even sure what they do, when I buy a game the only thing I want is a URL to download it and a way to be notified of optional updates. Email or RSS feeds would to that just fine.

Why do we accept so much useless bullshit?
Even the simplest of program today is way bigger than an alternative of yesterday. I don't see your point.
Totally not my experience. I had long, uninterrupted conversations with my (now) wife. Daily. During my studies I organized group meetings with dozens of participants without many problems. Skypes original decentralized network design was genius.
When you see that art style, you know it's going to be good.
I haven't read many books that I felt weren't worth "investing time in". Books are good for you. A couple of favourites anyway:

- New Grub Street, George Gissing, 1891

- Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1867

- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen, 1813

- Candide, Voltaire, 1759
Maybe. But in teaching, the bulk of users expect Facebook-normal behavior. Dropping a file in a FB chat places it into the chat box but does not upload. Placing it into a Teams chat box will upload the file and give the impression that the 'task is done'.

As I mentioned, in class, every single day I have to remind students to press the send button.

This tells me something very clearly: that they did not observe users actually using this app before they released it.
- The mute/unmute button is hard to find, I don't think I've ever attended a Teams meeting without someone struggling with this. Teams should change its name to "You're on mute"

As far as the keyboard's concerned I think it's three buttons - something like cmd-shift-m where on Slack it's just m. Drives me mad.
I think the latency part depends a lot on the games. I have used stadia and geforce now and for single player games I cant feel any latency difference.

I have tried playing multiplayer games like CS:GO on geforce now, and that gave me latency issues and was not a great experience.

“I need the body” is still a running gag between me and my partner.
Our gymnasium extensively uses Microsoft products - Outlook, Windows, Office, ASP.NET. We've had some proprietary software before for writing on digital touchscreen displays in classrooms, but it was ditched in favour of OneNote. Now some professors prefer to use the classic whiteboard with the regular marker due to very usual malfunctioning of the software, sudden crashes, freezes, VERY SLOW undoing times, etc.

It's the same with other Microsoft products. Like someone else said, it doesn't matter how bad they are, money streams are basically guaranteed.

It's weird how their software almost feels like shareware or debian packages lurking in the repos unchanged for 10 years, just with ads and unresponsive UI.

Students and teachers really have no interest in being informed on the bottom of the screen that it's currently raining (we have actual windows for that), nor do we care that Ethereum's Ether fell by 10% in value this day.

Such things make no sense in an educational setting. Moreover even browsing the web when the teacher wants to show us some JS animation on a website (you know, such website that doesn't get updated, yet works, it's path starts with a tilde, and is only served via plaintext http) is uncomfortable, as Edge browser starts up with a screen filled with ads and random news articles about the war in Ukraine or political situation in the US.

I went quite off course, but Teams is no different. As soon as the teacher logs in to the computer, Teams is starting to launch. Why? It would be somewhat okay if it just launched in the background, but no, after 20 seconds a Teams window opens, wastes 5 seconds of lecture time, because it doesn't immediately have the Close button drawn.

Maybe theese are all just issues our IT team could solve, but given the immense amount of money siphoned into MS both by the school and the country's educational ministry, some reasonable defaults could be expected.
It is 2022, we have the internet and long histories of everything everyone has said and done. A 5 point list of things you don't like isn't really an argument in the modern era. You really should put the effort in to link that into an actual complaint. Anyone or any company that has done anything of note has got a few points about them that aren't pure and perfect.

Valve pioneered a lot of those things before anyone even realised that they were profitable. The way they stumbled into the gambling market looked, from where I sat, like an accidental evolution of a company that was experimental and evidence based. Particularly on DOTA - unless something really changed since the last time I looked you can play the whole game for free and the winner is determined purely by skill. Valve is being entirely reasonable in how they make money - giving people who are huge fans of the game a way to spend money on it.
It's not just you — even as a Brit with an upper-middle class accent, even when wearing a suit, even though the other UK airports I've used have been fine, Heathrow in particular is bad. (Not used St Pancras/Eurostar enough to really compare).

I had such a thing, fond memories. I had to buy a stereo set with MD recording capabilities to be able to use the small thing on the road with my existing music, but the little remote stick and the overall form factor were very nice. I remember there was some bulge on the back for an AA battery. It was a lot of swapping batteries and discs. I used it for a couple of years in between my last Discman and my first MP3 player. Music from the 'Club 2000' cd's are forever linked in my mind to this little MiniDisc player.
Yeah. I log in and type "Morning" as is the routine in our main channel.

I'm sorry that we ended up discussing this because all you did was invent situations and argued with people who didn't even state any of what you managed to read.

No one is telling you not to deal with CORS your way. Fact of the matter is that you can avoid it, but you're making up reasons why you can't. The only reason you can't is because you won't. You're free to use whatever approach you like, there's no police here, just don't state that I or anyone else wrote what we didn't. It'd be grown up thing to do. Thanks and best of success with your projects.
It's funny you say that because since The IT Crowd ended Chris O'Dowd has been cast multiple times as the relatable normal but still handsome hunk in comedies.
The performance problems arrive very late, you can go very far with python.

So it makes sense to start with something that let you be as agile as you can, when you don't have money, and then, once you are filthy rich, spend the resource you have massively to solve your new problem.

Starting with something that is less productive to avoid a problem you might have later if you are rich doesn't seem practical to me.

This is another issue witha clear age divide.

Younger generation is overwhelmingly aware of the problem, but our decisiojn makers have an average age of 70 or some such. Older voters hold more power too. Brexit was overwhelmingly voted for by older people.

The west is in crisis because the young peiple are getting shafted at every step, from the housing market to the environment.

I love my grandparents, but I would never put them in a position of power - they just aren't as sharp and switched on as they used to be

Edit: for people downvoting, look at how age of politicians has increased in US. Look at how politics has become more disfunctional. The change is real

Sorry I am commenting in a hurry, but I just have to say... Our way of living - is not a desirable standard. Your mileage may vary, you may be "making it" - but most people aren't. We find reasons to be thankful, but most people are lonely, insecure, unfulfilled and comforting with junk food or media, 'retail therapy' or drugs.
Most adults are 'feeling their age', unfit or overweight, medicating. Surrounded by and even consuming materials untested by natural history, that may be contributing to rises in autoimmune
and cancer. Some goods are in relative abundance, but also overall as many ills.
Another issue, which we tend to forget about in this age of 4K and so on, was that a lot of these shows were filmed on digital betamax or similar (and before that on analog magnetic formats). For a British show, that would typically mean 576i 50Hz PAL, and it would just not look great on most equipment when transmitted as 480i 60Hz NTSC. Some shows were filmed on film (I think this was more common in the US) and those were easier to deal with, but horrible picture quality would have been a concern.
Firstly, the guy never said anything about European values, he could just as well have been talking about his party. That said though, the "value" being breached here is the value of having a free society where you can exist outdoors without government cameras scanning, identifying, and tracking you. I would like to think it's more a human value than anything else.
Absolutely; or at least, I have fond memories of it from the early 90s when I was a kid myself.

On the hard drive thing, I had an old HDD which (after years in a drawer) would not start up (wouldn't start spinning).

After trying it in a couple of different computers I accidentally dropped the drive and it hit a metal table leg.

After dropping it, the HDD started up and worked fine, and I could copy the contents off.

Maybe the liquid nitrogen worked the same way (thermal shock in place of mechanical shock).
I played Dota for years without ever feeling the need to spend on cosmetics. Valve prides themselves on a free-to-play, pay-to-look-fancy-in-game model. I didn’t care about the looks, so I played the game for free.

Other games have a free-to-play but pay-to-win model. League of Legends requires you to pay if you want to play with the newer, more powerful characters. Hearthstone is free to play but adds newer, more powerful cards every season. Building a competitive deck of cards could cost $150-200 per season.

That’s not to say I like this lootbox bullshit. It preys on people who have a weakness for gambling. If I were wired differently I could have spent thousands on them. I think they should be regulated out of existence.

The slightly more fun version of that example is that cos(x) and sin(x) have zero correlation. But if you plot a bunch of coordinates that are generated that way, you'll quickly notice a pattern...

You can easily view cos(x) as causing the value of sin(x) to change - if cos(x) starts going down, sin(x) will too soon afterward. If cos(x) starts going up, so will sin(x), soon afterward.

In fact, if you allow for a time lag between your data series, you will find that sin(x) and cos(x) are perfectly correlated.
Not really, Steam is big enough that they could nudge the industry in the right direction.

For example, GOG does not sell any game with DRM or Internet connected crap, even if it requires making tough decisions like removing the Hitman reboot from its store.
> Denom makes a second call to "disregard" firing the entire floor that doesn't work as a team

Yeah, that part was weird because Denom in the US remake is portrayed as a manipulative manager instead of a crazy manager. Maybe the writers had a different character in mind.
I think it'd be fair to say that the US has now somewhat embraced the less happy cheerful variety of sitcom; a lot of modern US stuff falls into that category. It definitely hadn't in 2005 when the US Office came out, though.
Yup, MindAlign was born out of an internal product in UBS called 'Interchange'.

Interchange was a java client, that fundamentally spoke standard IRC to IRC servers, but also used extra external databases to auto-connect users to channels and secure sensitive channels. The client also forced real names (via Active Directory), and was hardcoded to only connect to the UBS IRC servers.

The IRC servers themselves were altered to only allow Interchange clients to connect[1] and to only allow approved bots in channels most of which did full chat logging for compliance purposes.

Interchange was so slow it was nicknamed 'Interchug'.

The IRC server network spanned the UBS WAN network globally, and all staff were encouraged to use it. For the era, no other large banking corporate had anything similar running (officially).

Source: I worked in UBS IT during this period.

I would take a lot of the unevidenced narrative in 'Sapiens' with a huge pinch of salt.

Both the book and the author have been criticized, rightly in my opinion, the former for elevating the theories of a very specific and ideological branch of anthropology to facts, and the latter for being a grifter who does not know much about anthropology.
Australia only requires returns for defective products. Valve used to be in violation but now they are well beyond the legal requirements in allowing change of mind refunds as well.
Why the hell were they storing it? just delete it after marking the account as verified.
Fair comment, but steam is, or at least used to be, worse in this regard than valve. They gamified sales. Flash sales, loot boxes for buying stuff, trading said loot on steam marketplace, etc.

I e, they pushed gambling and gacha stuff to children. I've always felt they had come up with a perverse incentive s structure with these sales.
That sentence is factualy accurate.

If you are not comfortable with that, it suggest you are engaging in double think.

How far we've come that near-real-time multidimensional dynamic views onto multi-GB data stores is considered 'a pure document' by someone. Why, just because it uses links and URLs and instead of buttons and fetch?
It makes sense to me. Nowadays, all the GAFAM has solved most problems python is good at: glueing a lot of things, experimenting with ideas, bootstrapping new product, hiring and training a lot of new people fast.

They now are in the optimization phase. They first picked the low hanging fruits, but after 10 years of doing that they need to fine tune. For them, gaining 20% of speed can add up to millions of dollar a day, so it's now the new priority.

Just like with JS in the 2000', today they have to decide if it's worth rewritting python code or just improve the platform. For some projects, they made the calculations and it was just cheaper to improve the plateform. We got V8. Now Python is getting the new focus.

> - Seriously, that is a godsend if you are presenting a lot and have a two+ monitor setup - have the presentation up on one, still see your participants on the other one.

For me, apps that spit out windows became a PITA when you have many apps open (which I always do).

Two screen benefit can be had from following the lead of an app like Resolve, which has a built-in two-screen feature.

Why not use tabs to accommodate the two functions? Or some other widget? Currently, it honestly feels like two apps stuck together. The fact that, when previewing a file, the chat window visually presents exactly as Word, Excell or whatever does not help.
