Ideally, yes. But so many people only know of Word, or have been writing using Word for so long that they won't change their workflow and they simply do what works for them.

Word is tons more powerful than Google Docs, has add-ins, way more formatting and styling. In my mind, Google Doc is not a direct competitor to Word when it comes to professional editing and writing.

It's $40k USD which means it's at least $50k CAD. It seems about right for recent graduates with less than 2 years experience. I'm in Montreal btw.

"Officially", SRT files are only timecodes and text, but most players support html codes directly like <b> <i> <u> to support more formatting options than the basic SRT. I wonder if some of them simply render the

A+ post. Funny rambling backed up by a crazy well detailed article and you get downvoted by the HN hive mind. Docker is the ...ahem... whale in the room that you shouldn't criticize ever!

I often hear my friends talking shit about the spotify desktop app and web app not working properly. I don't use spotify but it seems like something's not working at least every month or two.

I just started playing around with ffmpeg for a side project of mine. I'm sad because it's C++ (and I didn't write enough C++ in my life to be any good in it) and I was looking around for a good C# wrapper exposing a media pl

This page has by far the worst scrolling interaction I've ever experienced. First up : no scroll bar so there is literally no visual cue that I need to scroll. Scrolling "activates" the next portion of content. Somewhere arou

> Established procedure was not followed Why have a procedure if your support doesn't follow it? Even if you have a procedure, everything falls apart when it isn't followed. This is the same as having no procedure at all.

Montreal is still expensive compared to the suburbs. Urban sprawl and congestion on bridges at rush hour is a big problem. Québec is the most taxed province in all of North America too and salaries are lower than most other places. It'

If you contribute open source, your contribution will be out in the open. That's the whole point of it. If you remove it from Github, any website will be able to pull the same info and display it since it's all public information.

I don't care about my own contribution graph, but I still find the feature useful when looking at other profiles. It's informative and it even looks nice. I do 95% of my work on Github in private repos at work, and 5% on open sour

Is this an April Fools joke? I've never seen anyone who gave a fuck about their contribution graph and record streak, except for devs who developped clever git repos that make your contribution graph show pixel art (which is pretty awe

Feels like this "do [x] while npm install is running" silly project is turning into a running gag. Why not fix the issues with NPM install that makes it extremely slow instead? Not saying that people shouldn't make things jus

So far Telegram has done everything right. They have awesome native apps on all the platforms, no stupid web-wrappers that are slow and buggy. I haven't had a single bug, it's always been extremely fast and reliable. This is what

This is planned obsolescence, when the cables break like this the chargers normally simply stop working. And that cable doesn't carry 110VAC so it's safe to assume even if you touch it you can't really get hurt.

In our app, everything that's a timestamp (invoices, payments, registering to an event, sending messages, create/update timestamps, etc..) is stored in UTC. Having both depending on the use case is really the best for us.

We simply ignore DST. For example let's take a recurring event that happens every Wednesday at 6pm for 10 weeks. In the middle of those 10 weeks, this timezone enters DST. By saving the series' time as 6pm EST in the database, we
