Honestly, if you’re sharing office files you’re probably using office 365. This means everything is a web app first and therefore Linux compatible.

I tried using the desktop version of word on a Mac last week, and the latency was so bad on a shared document that I had to switch to the web app anyway.

Basically, if you just want to use Linux you’ll be fine. If instead you don’t want to use Microsoft, you’ll probably have lots of problems.

Microsoft have been brutally effective in getting their tentacles into academic institutes, and you’ll find that everything from email to logging into internal sites relies on an office 365 account.

It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.

It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.

Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.

It’s good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.

For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it’s generally good here.

Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn’t be able to Google for, and just forget it.

Lots of the cheap Chinese watches Xiaomi, amazfit etc do a rectangular face. Rectangular lets you use standard screens and is cheaper and easier to get.

Dev jobs and data scientists often get a lot of leeway.

Very big tech companies tend to be more open to it. When I was at AWS their threat model was basically to treat every end user device as untrusted, which then meant that they didn’t rely on keeping laptops locked down for security.

I don’t think you can buy the book. It was 20 volumes in 1989, and they’ve been working on an ongoing update since then. There’s no plans to physically print a third edition.

But yeah, it’s a serious scholarly resource, and they do put out free small dictionaries as well.

Eternity is fine. You just need to log out and back in. I’m using it now.

It’s difficult. Perjury requires intent. If a badly trained employee in a hurry makes a mistake that’s not perjury.

This means it’s legal, under the current law, to badly train your employees and to set them quotas for the amount of DMCA takedowns they have to serve.

They’re not intentionally making false statements.

To stop this, you need to create new explicit penalties for bad takedown requests.

Most curries you can get in the UK were invented there.

As a quick rule of thumb, if it looks like it has gravy or thick sauce someone from India wouldn’t recognise it

Doom on the switch was amazing for this. I tried to play Doom eternal on the ps4, afterwards, and it was just such a disappointment because it didn’t have gyro.
