American work culture has always heavily favored extraverts to begin with. I feel really resentful because extraverts finally got a small taste of what it means to be forced to adjust to a workplace they’re uncomfortable with, and now they act like we all need to go into the office again to keep their needs met.

There’s never been any real consideration of introverts when it comes to office culture, other than to ridicule or minimize us when we express our needs. And btw I work a highly social job and interact with people all day long. I’m expected to adjust but extraverts aren’t.

What’s the cube?

I think the problem is that practically every place that serves tea serves Lipton, which does suck. You have to go out of your way to get quality black tea in the US. We just don’t care about tea at all here, unless it’s sweet tea, which is basically sugar water

You can straight up buy loose leaf Chinese tea like oolong in the US from basically any Asian/international grocery store. I don’t like tea very much, but that’s the best tea I’ve had including the English black tea I’ve tried, which wasn’t that good imo.

I tried tea in the UK and didn’t think it was very good either tho. I think I just don’t like tea that much.

Ironically the best coffee I ever had was a cappuccino in London. Which I paired with a full English. Still one of the best breakfasts in my life, that shit was dank

Give white tea a try sometime. It has almost no tannins and less caffeine than black tea. The flavor is much lighter and more fruity

Didn’t slack just revamp their entire UI? And also what’s functionally wrong with it? I haven’t had any issues with slack

It’s a huge dlc from the looks of it though, and they also released Armored Core during that time.

2-3 years is a very fast turnaround time these days and that’s where From is at. Look at Horizon by comparison. It was 5 years between the Horizon games despite using the same engine and some of the same assets.

Horizon is a bigger game with more cinematics and voice acting, so that’s part of it. But From is definitely faster at pushing out AAA games than most studios.

It looks fun as hell if you can get it down, but it was just too difficult for me. I really didn’t enjoy dying repeatedly until I figured out the rhythm. The other soulsborne games felt more fair somehow, and often give you a way to make the boss fights significantly easier.

It’s still the same engine and general gameplay concept though. The combat was the big difference.

I really disagree with your first sentence. A few of the icons are obvious, but most are extremely vague. I actually use a Mac every day at work and I can’t tell you what half of these icons are for (I guess I don’t use them). For example the rocket icon, the book (is it a reader or a dictionary or what?), Safari’s icon looks like a map app since it’s a compass.

I don’t know what the history/clock icon is for and the app store icon is just terrible, and has even fewer context clues in languages where the word “app” doesn’t start with a Latin A character.

Icons rely on all kinds of assumptions and cultural cues. They might as well be hieroglyphics to people who aren’t familiar with them, which is why they need to come with labels or tooltips.

Gnu, Firefox, and gcc are not terrible

Ads are the main reason for all the junk though.

Aha asks for Ruby on rails experience in their job listings, so they must be using it as well

It makes sense from a pure UX perspective. But of course the real goal of GitHub is to make money, and their paying customers are mostly corporate entities using it for enterprise development. Unless those companies decide that a download button/better release feature is desirable, it’s not likely to happen.

Most corporations tie GitHub into their own build system so such a feature isn’t likely to be considered useful. They pay for GitHub to reduce development costs, which is why GitHub spends so much effort on analytics and the dev experience instead of open source/public users.

Ubuntu resets my default audio every time I put it to sleep. I have no idea why, other distros didn’t do this. Sometimes it fails to detect the speakers on my laptop completely.

I’ve found Ubuntu to need a lot less effort than other distros so I’m not planning to ditch it yet, but even Ubuntu still has weird quirks like this.

Also, some apps fail to open in x11 for some reason so I have to switch to a Wayland session every now and then. And then switch back to x11 because other apps won’t open in Wayland.

Linux always has some weird usability issue no matter how many distros I’ve tried. It’s getting a lot better but it’s not there yet.

TDD is not appropriate for everything or everyone

Node isn’t a language though.

Catholicism requires about a year of studying to convert or you won’t be allowed to take sacraments. Although in reality no one is really checking and you could theoretically fake your way through it.
