I use fullscreen mode a lot. For work I will have VS Code and a web browser side-by-side. Every ticket I work on gets its own instance. I find it keeps me organized so I can focus on the work. If Apple ever got rid of…
I use Teams on the daily, and think it is a legit question. On the one hand, the app crashes at least once a day. On the other, haven't seen this issue of distracting notifications or important discussions being drowned…

Code coverage can show the absence of good tests, but not their existence.
When I started my career, most teams at my company were doing waterfall. The team I was hired onto was one of a couple guinea pigs for scrum. The other teams would spend 6 weeks doing nothing but planning activities.…

Those videos all sound like things that would be _very_ popular and if we could see it have a very good like to dislike ratio. They would likely be over 99% like vs dislike. If dislikes were still visible, you'd merely…

Because those like me who don't install any of those apps don't have anything to share on HN. Showing that you have a nearly default desktop isn't interesting except when people are claiming that no one does that.
What is the alternative people should be using then?

Same here. I found old reddit really easy to understand and found twitter to be much harder. I bounced off twitter a few times just because I didn’t understand the UI.

This fits my perception as well. I'd also add that the political compasses and candidate choosers have been a place where you can see the leftward lean. I think it is a similar root cause to the coverage selection…
I'm not a fan of this. There are two theories for why school improves outcomes for students: 1. Human Capital Development Theory: School improves students. 2. Signalling Theory: School ranks students. Both predict that…

I really hope that if Apple is ever forced to open up their devices, that it takes the form of allowing other app stores and not allowing side-loading. If side loading is allowed the amount of tech support I'll have to…
