Off the top of my head: * UX/UI issues. For example, in dark mode I can barely see some icons. This is minor. * Laggy scrolling. If your mouse scrolls too fast the spreadsheet doesn’t go as fast. * Buggy automatic range detection. If y

This is such an important project that I think I will setup a recurring monthly donation. I mostly use Calc and I’ve held back donating because honestly it is not that good (irrational, I know). Specially if you’re an excel power-ish user.

This is super cool. Are you guys hiring remote engineers in Europe? I am an electrical engineer turned developer. I would love to be able to work on something that merges both to some extent.

I just switched to Linux because Windows is _really_ bad lately. I recommend Linux Mint. It has the windows feel for sure. I am not exaggerating when I say it works better than Windows. I didn’t customize anything. Just installed it and con

Recently switched to Linux Mint from Windows and it has not only been good. It has been cathartic. I enjoy computers again! I am self-hosting some services, what an absolute joy.

I’ve been using Windows my entire life. In the past, I tried Linux without much success, switching back within a few weeks. However, Microsoft’s software is just beyond bad these days. Simple actions take seconds, the UI/UX feels desig

Credit cards offer rewards which are really beneficial to people that properly use them. In my country, credit cards are safer because they offer better fraud protection mechanisms than debit cards. Credit cards make it easier to spend mone

I have found that it’s way more effective to reward good behavior than to punish bad behavior. Rewarding good behavior takes more effort than punishment though. It requires more patience because you don’t immediately see the results of your

I don’t have kids. However, this same concept can be applied, and verified, with dogs. I have made it a rule to never deceive my dog, and she trusts me because it. If I pick up her water bowl to refill and clean it while she is in the middl

Death's End, the third book in the Remembrance of Earth’s Past series. The book has so many great concepts and touches upon many of the fundamental questions of life itself. I fully recommend it if you’re into space sci fi.

I bought an Intel i7 like 2 years ago. My takeaways: - I would rather buy a MacBook now, the whole ecosystem is nicer. This is not Framework’s fault, Apple’s ecosystem just works and at some point you just want stuff that works. I absolutel

I haven’t read the article but Bartosz articles are so good and enjoyable to read that I get excited whenever I see a new one pop up. I have already set some time aside tonight to read it with care. Bartosz if you are reading this: thank yo

While I do agree with the author’s general proposition to create an environment that fosters creativity and “ambition”, it seems very shortsighted. Quoting from the article: > …from employees who fastidiously guard their work-life balanc

Honest question, not trying to be confrontational, just curious every time I see these kind of posts/anecdotes. It seems to me that finding a job in tech is easier than finding a job in any other professional field (e.g. chemical engin

Hey this looks pretty awesome. Currently I work in LATAM for international corporations and it is also hard for us, developers, to find a good fit. Dealing with Latin American agencies is always a pain, it seems Astro might attract companie

This post really resonates with me, specially this line > Just keep in mind the cost you’re paying, and be extremely cautious if you ever find yourself resenting your downtime. Currently this is happening to me. Downtime is not an enjoya

Thank you. You can be average and still make a small dent in the world.

by edferda 11y ago
The problem is that the things you mentioned(car with cash, helping kids, community projects, etc) are average. And there is nothing wrong with it, I know. It is not about trying the best you can be, in fact most people self-improve themsel

That is it. I am aware of that fact, I am absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. How do you deal with that?

I think people have different moods for similar activities. Someone might enjoy classical music while coding while others might enjoy dub step or the like. And if you have to provide your mood how is it different from songza/spotify? N

Yes,I thought the same, I even looked up the specs for some of their models. I thought they were bullshiting me. And I think they did, that was not 10 gal per minute.
