Oh yes, I hate this. OneUI has that as well. It makes searching for an app so much more conscious and bothersome. I don't want my app drawer to look as neat as possible, I want it to work with the least amount of attention that I can p

It looks really good. Like, really good. I have one thing that throws me, though: if you keep drawing over the same section, you don't get more coverage. It always looks like the first pass. But I'm so surprised at how well this w

May I interest you in another talk covering data in S3 buckets and how far companies will go to fix their misconfigurations? (Hint: not far) https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-projekt-bucketchallenge

For me a huge challenge is that I grew older (college years) in an environment where people were strongly convinced that opinions and tastes can only be right or wrong. If someone liked something else than the group, they just didn't s

They usually do Translation live, so I'd be very surprised if they didn't offer them in the stream as well. They always offer English and I think some talks have been live-transcribed, too, for people with hearing disabilities, bu

One reason is religion. That aside, people are afraid that this could be abused. People could choose this purelyto avoid additional cost to their relatives. It could be used as an excuse why more costly options to avoid pain and suffering i

I think that's the point? The title is grabbing for attention, but the point of laws to choose assisted dying is basically always that people with terminal conditions often are in such pain that they choose a peaceful death over extend

I read this as "answer within the hour when preparing an exhibition". If you are in full swing to get an exhibition up and running and this is the time you decide to throw yourself into deep focus work, you are probably hard to wo

It's the same in Europe with the 5-stars-is-normal scale. In my personal experience it's the app that fosters it. Many companies who ask for reviews follow up anything below 5 stars or 10/10 with "how can we improve?&quo

I agree with the author a little bit but overall I think she's mainly being selfish and ego-centric. What I agree with: We have built ourselves a society where it is far too easy to fall into a secluded lifestyle. That's not a pro

So going by what they aimed for in building the laser: No. The nominal power and wave length of all of these appliances is less harming to the eye than going outside on a sunny day and forgetting your sun glasses. The issue here I guess are

I've worked with a few sales engineers by now because I'm the person they try to sell to. I always saw sales engineers as the result of companies realizing that by now they often have to deliver sales pitches to engineers and not

Well, that also limits you to basically one style of looks. And that style is kind of hard to sustain, so if you don't really like it, it's a major PITA. Kinda surprised that Captain Picard wasn't mentioned though. He actuall

I read this entire thread under the assumption that we are talking about long term partners here. Completely disregarding HIV, there are enough other STIs that say unprotected sex is a bad idea, so if we are talking about hookups, the perso

I'm one of those low experience people currently accepting a job that wants you to do so 6 different jobs at a time. I'd love to be at a company that gives me one job and lets me get good at it, but somehow I can't find it. I

Also rice doesn't grow anywhere near Germany. Today that's not really s factor anymore, because it's so easy to shop, but my parents both grew up sticking very much to a local and seasonal approach to cooking, because everyth

I get it, though. I often crave salad when I have eaten too much fat for a day or two. Sometimes the body really just tells you what it needs.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I always feel like a complete tool when people talk about events in their adolescent years or even if we talk about the movie we watched at the theater yesterday. I remember what the movie was about an

This makes so many moments of my life make so much more sense. I don't have full blown aphantasia I think but mental images are always very hazy and dark to me and calling them up takes immense effort. Seems like I'm a 4 on the V

I feel like this is exactly what I'd be getting into if I had heeded the recent call at work to step up taking over the lead for my team. And there is one important factor in your answer that differs from most others here: You feel lik

I think the underinvestment has been going on for much longer than that. It's just really been starting to show more and more throughout the last ten years or so. I'm not very optimistic with it being remedied any time soon, eith

Not sure if this is a German thing or specific to my bubble, but I feel like at least my friends and I have a different interpretation of "kafkaesque" than the author of this article. Usually kafkaesque situations have something t

I like the entire structure that they put up for their kids to learn and I think it would work for many children. However, I doubt it would work for many parents. The author already pointed out that it worked because they both worked from h
