Thank you for explaining this so succinctly! People just don't seem to understand that to do SSO properly and securely for your app it costs decent money and support time. Regardle…

I'm in the same situation! Not in the Carribean..yet, but traveling around U.S. coast in a trawler with my husband. Never would have been possible without Starlink. I would have ha…

Yeah, and not every scrum implementation needs to have a ton of meetings. We do 1 week sprints with no 15m daily stand-ups and a monthly or so retrospective. If someone is blocked …

Thank you! I had to scroll too far down to see this. There are many useful implementations. Copying code, copying a long number, etc. Just make it clear what is going to happen whe…

I was disappointed with MariaDB and tried it before using MySQL. It is so far behind MySQL that it can't be considered equivalent anymore. And I really wanted to use MariaDB instea…

I'm sorry, I was wrong in that Postgres does let you specify a few character collations at the DB level, but they are pretty much ASCII vs UNICODE with no case-insensitive configur…

A lot of comments for Postgres, but it's the only major DB in 2023 that does not let you choose your character collation when creating a database. That is pretty much a deal breake…

I don't get Latinx term at all. And hardly ever see it used by native speakers. It's like they're telling Spanish speakers their language is inherently bad because it's gendered. I…

Redis is great, but sometimes it isn't always the best solution. We almost configured it, but instead implemented our own Cache web service and used the built in memory/cache manag…

The company I work for is in the healthcare tech space and we all generally despise Epic. But when I saw the MyChart app, I was really impressed. Also, we were in the ER recently, …

Google Photos is that silent offering that wasn't a big deal initially, but just slowly grew into easily the best option to store your years of smartphone photo memories. I pay for…

It's unfortunate Tumblr made the move to ban explicit content in the first place, but it's definitely not dead. It may not be what it used to be 10 years ago but it's still what I'…

We did the same thing in the healthcare sector, but for safety event reporting! It's not like we even did anything groundbreaking with UX. One was just making it so it's easy to fi…

To start, you should choose an instance that had been around for a while and isn't too small. Instances do shutdown occasionally but the admin(s) will give you plenty of time to mi…

You can be a part of a large or small instance and your consumption/conversation is not limited to users on that instance. You can follow people from other instances as well as scr…

From my experience so far with pandemic WFH that turned into permanent WFH for our company, if the employee was generally good or performed pretty well they are performing even bet…

Our company did a restructuring a couple years ago where the web/user-facing part of the dev team was moved under the same branch with Product. At first I was skeptical, but it has…

I used to be more adamant that links should never open modals and should be buttons. Until we ran into an action column in a grid having 4-5 items. Having it be all buttons would l…

There are some cases like accounting departments that may definitely need the extra features from Excel. I guess I weigh the collaboration features Google provides over the extra f…

I won't argue that Excel is great. It is by far Microsoft's best product. It is an amazing accomplishment. Google has been able to do 85% of it and also added some great collaborat…

I don't understand this sentiment at all. I have to deal with Outlook at work and it is hot garbage. I can't believe this competes with a web application from 2004. Yes, I get desk…

I moved from Ubuntu to Mint mainly because of Snap. I couldn't take it anymore. Couldn't be happier.

I think if people were more diligent about where and what to order for delivery it would turn out better. We rarely have issues with food delivery. Arrives hot/warm and in around a…

Also, apparently this area is going to be prime wine producing country in like 5-10 years. It already produces decent white wines.

Honestly, just staying in the Upper Midwest Great Lakes region of the U.S. is looking like a great option for me. Winters aren't great right now, but will only get milder and summe…
