And the ensuing throwing out forks protest?

Is this the actual article? It looks like some live twitter-style thread with a bunch a random updates.

I wish there would be some way to implement sponsorblock for podcasts.

> I get too many of those those “Hi Joe” pings without any content.

It's not Google's fault your coworkers suck at chatting.

That's one of the main thing I miss since switching to an iPhone. On a Pixel, there's almost always some company name displayed when I get a call from an unknown number. I'm guessing it's based on Google looking up the phone number.

Comparing the fr to the fr_CA texts though, the Canadian one is wordier for no good reason. E.g., "nous nous efforçons de les protéger, tout en vous permettant d'en garder le contrôle." vs "nous faisons tout notre possible pour protéger vos renseignements et pour vous permettre de les gérer."

> A glass condo copy and pasted in CAD software and then rotated to fit a plot of land without consideration for anything...

There's a similar issue in new suburban neighbourhood, where the same floor plan is copied and pasted down a whole street, yet the house on the corner lot lacks windows on wall facing the perpendicular street... It's so disheartening to see.

More precisely, French (cent soixante quinze) is actually: hundred sixty fifteen. Seventies, eighties (quatre-vingt = four twenties), and nineties (quatre-vingt-dix = four twenties and ten) are a mess in most French dialects.

I don't know. I suspect most software is actually internal or proprietary. I don't think that developpers working on some custom widgets factory optimization software actually use it to optimize their mini-factory at home. Or that many developers run their own telecom on the side and need all kinds of software to route calls. Same is probably true of FAANG developpers too: how many adwords engineers actually run their own advertising campaign? Or have a personal need to store massive amounts of data in their own bigtable?

Isn't that most software?
