Officer, I'd like to report a murder committed in a side note!

Sadly, I'm in Germany. Which is a third world country when it comes to decent connectivity. They are rolling out some fiber now in Berlin. Finally. But very slowly and not to my building any time soon. Most of the country is limited to DSL speeds. Mobile coverage is getting better but still non existent outside of cities. Germany has borders with nine countries. Each of those have better connectivity than Germany. I'…
> Mobile coverage is getting better but still non existent outside of cities. According to the Bundesnetzagentur over 90% [1] of Germany has 5G coverage (and almost all of the rest has 4G [2]).

I usually lose connectivity on train journeys across Germany. I'm offline most of the way. Even the in train wifi gets quite bad in remote areas. Because they depend on the same shitty mobile networks. There's a stark difference as soon as you cross the borders with other countries. Suddenly stuff works again. Things stop timing out.
I also deal with commercial customers that have companies in areas with either no or poor mobile connectivity and since we sell mobile apps to them, we always need to double check they actually have a good connection. One of our customers is on the edge of a city with very spotty 4G at best. I recently recommended Star Link to another company that is operating in rural areas. They were asking about offline capabilities of our app. Because they deal with poor connectivity all the time. I made the point that you can get internet anywhere you want now for a fairly reasonable price.

#55Nice to see that Microsoft is dog-fooding Azure DevOps. It seems that more and more Azure services only have native connectors to GitHub so I actually thought it was moving towards abandonware.

As a German, I assumed he's talking about poor connection speeds.

#57> we have folks in Europe that can't even clone the repo due to it's size. What is it about Europe that makes it more difficult? That internet in Europe isn't as good? Actually, I have heard that some primary schools in Europe lack internet. My grandson's elementary school in rural California (population <10k) had internet as far back as 1998.
Let's pretend you didn't write the last 2 sentences... first of all "internet in Europe" makes close to zero sense to argue about. The article just uses it as a shortcut to not start listing countries. I live in a country where I have 10Gbps full-duplex and I pay 50$ / month, in "Europe". The issue is that some countries have telecom lobbies which are still milking their copper networks. Then the "competition committ…
What european countries still dont have fiber?
//Confused swede with 10G fiber all over the place. Writing from literally the countryside next to nowhere.

#58For those wondering where this new git-survey command is, it's actually not in git.git yet! The author is using microsoft's git fork, they've added this new command just this summer: https://github.com/microsoft/git/pull/667
I assume full-name-hash and path-walk are also only in the fork as well (or in git HEAD)? Can't see them in the man pages, or in the 2.47 changelog.

#59Did anybody else shudder at "Shrunked"?
English is my third language, also yes.

To be fair, we were impressed with Google Docs 15 years ago. Not saying office.com isn't impressive, but Google Docs certainly isn't impressive today. My company still uses GSuite, as I don't like being in Microsoft's ecosystem and we don't need any advanced features of our office suite but Google Docs and the rest of the GSuite seem to be intentionally held back to technology of the early 2010's.
Google docs certainly haven't changed much the last 5-10 years. I wonder if that's an intentional choice, or if it is because those that built it and understand how it works are long gone to work on other things.
Actually I did see a few long awaited improvements landing in gdocs lately (e.g. better markdown support, pageless mode).
I think they didn't deliver much new features in early 2020s because they were busy with a big refactoring from DOM to canvas rendering [0].
