15 months at my current job. I've sent exactly nothing to the office printer so far.
I've done a fair amount of printing total, but that was all due to a project using thermal receipt printers that were flakey enough that print to PDF wasn't able to detect all the problems that needed worked around.
I don't do a lot of internal email here, Slack and Jira are our main communication tools.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I can see chat bots replacing email for a lot of status check / process enquiry type emails that we use currently... for example most HR interactions.

Migration watch: Windows 10's share of all Windows PCs is now expected to exceed Windows 7's by September 2018. Even so, large numbers of users will still be using the older OS when support ends in two years. Hurry! You only have two years to install Win10
Depending on how many reboots it makes you do, you might be in trouble

Operations engineers have a few complaints about working with developers that shouldn’t be dismissed as merely rants because they are very real issues that Ops faces. "The servers are fine. It's your code."

There are right and wrong ways to ask for a higher salary. Experts weigh in on what to say and when. "Gimme your money please."
or, "I'm looking for pound notes, loose change, bad checks, anything. Gimme some money"

Intel has now officially responded to these reports, calling them “incorrect” and “inaccurate,” and saying it had planned to discuss this very issue next week. "Billy did it too!" always works

Tabby's Star, also known as KIC 8462852, is quite a mystery. Located about 1,280 light-years from Earth, the star puts on an interesting light show every now and then, dimming and brightening at unpredictable times. Someone's leaning against the switch?

Is there an opposite to "Occam's Razor"; where the first answer is the most incredibly complex, unrealistic and convoluted?
Always amazed when people buy into whatever that word is and get very upset when you suggest it may be something simpler.

A new compiler tool from Altimesh, Hybridizer, is intended to address this issue by providing C# developers with a way to target GPUs by producing a CUDA binary from their C# source. So you can really see what a garbage collection cycle looks like?

It's a game.
Networking is part of playing the game. Trimming the fat is part of playing the game. Promotions based on likability versus merit and skill, is part of playing the game.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone, if it does, you are not playing the game, and if you are, you are a terrible player.
With that said, not all Employers/Companies play the game, and if they do, they may only play on Friday nights. So, with an employer like that, you may have an easier time playing the game with greater odds at actually winning from time to time.

Acquired December 1997, Hotmail was the gift that kept on giving—for good or ill. I'd make a HotMail joke here, but I think they've all been said by now
Almost as good as "aol.com" for identifying the age of the sender.

I got a Hotmail address soon after my Yahoo one, about sixteen years ago. Hotmail was a regular spamfest, far worse than Yahoo. Since then my address has migrated to Outlook.com. I like it, but I have so much crap connected to my yahoo account, that I don't have the energy to change. Though given how bad Yahoo is becoming, I may have to force myself.

|
|
|
I think the funniest part was how they tried to implement Hotmail on Windows Server but performance was so bad they bagged it and went back to the previous implementation on Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
To clarify, the implementation wasn't on Linux, but a combination of FreeBSD and Sun Solaris--a HUGE difference at the time.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember that. At the time, Sun was huge in the server market.
Thanks
