Wow you get to phone yours? We get an awful convoluted website where you have to type in all your details every time, including pointing on a diagram of a person where it hurts and explaining the problem. It takes forever to fill out and you submit it and then wait however long they want to triage you. Tbf if it’s fairly urgent they are fairly quick but it’s the worst experience when you’re sick.

Then maybe you get a phone call with a doctor who basically just tells you to wait and maybe they prescribe something which then the local pharmacy won’t have in stock. Contact your doctor again to get it changed to something else? Good luck! Many days later you get your prescription after you finish needing it.

Every few years since the mid 2000s I’ve dual booted Linux (often Ubuntu) briefly before removing it again and just using windows and then I stopped for many years. I’ve gradually become less happy with windows, increasing ads and tracking but then the announcement of recall made it clear I had to switch. I was going to wait but then windows 24H2 update broke my Bluetooth audio so that was the last straw.

I installed endeavourOS on a separate drive and really liked it. GNOME at first. Then I installed nixOS and for me was almost perfect but I couldn’t get a few things to work like PIAs GUI app and doing some software development was more awkward than I liked.

Now I’m back on endeavourOS but with KDE plasma and it’s great.

Loved playing It Takes Two with my wife, such a great game I wished they made another one. The more couch coop games the better.

Just like when they were going to replace all their delivery drivers with drones. It’s just bullshit.

A boolean value only needs 1 bit (on or off) for true or false. However the smallest bit of addressable memory is a byte (8 bits) hence 7 are technically wasted.

For low memory devices you could instead store 8 different Boolean values in one single byte by using bit masking instead

I think in many cases it results in separate discussion over slack, probably between managers but it still often ends up in a follow up meeting.

Nope, all in a teams meeting discussing something, topic diverges or becomes too complicated and is slowing the meeting. Manager says “let’s take this offline” or “we’ll discuss offline”. Keeps the meeting focused but I hate the phrase. It’s not offline because it’ll just be another teams meeting!

I guess it depends on the company, so far mine it’s just making more meetings but keeping the current one focused. I’m fine with that, just hate the expression because it only makes sense if the follow up meeting was in person but we’re all remote

I really wish they’d use drill down instead

Especially if the MVP ends up with a lot of scope creep for features that are not MVP

Let’s take that offline perhaps better as let’s discuss that separately/later.

Double clicking should just be something like “to go into more detail” or something. I get why it happens, easy and quick to say, i just find it so irritating.

Leadership at the company I work for started saying “let’s double click that” to mean let’s go into more detail on that topic. Hate it.

Also “let’s take this offline” which just means let’s have a different meeting about it, it’ll still be online because we’re all remote.

Yes! 2s handle is too big, 5s is a good size
