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 …

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 f…

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-buc…

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 …

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-transcri…

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 …

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 …

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…

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 star…

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 t…

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…

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 h…

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 Capta…

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 …

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 g…

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 …

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 t…

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 …

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 …

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 opti…

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 artic…

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 alread…
