Unfortunately I can't quit Facebook because it's the only way to know people from the other sex. I tried Tinder for a couple of months and it didn't work for me. My assumption is that people feel safer to interact with you if you have friends in common. That's said, I don't use Facebook that often, if I start talking with someone and we enjoy each other company, I kindly ask if we can use WhatsApp and if so, I will stop using Facebook for a period of time.

Office gives you an environment where you can meet people that you can be friends with. Something a bar/coffee shop..etc, cannot provide easily. My dearest friends are my coworkers. I have been working remotely for two months now and even though it's a great experience, I miss the occasional chit-chat or coffee. I still do that after work, it's just harder.

I was going to ask is there any Kindle version of this, then I skimmed over the book, and I don't think it will be readable on a Kindle. And even if it does, the reading experience will definitely be inferior.

I don't really see how MS teams is a "high quality product". We have been forced to move from Slack To Microsoft teams in the past month. And I'm already missing it. Even though that Slack's threads were a mess, at least they always appeared in chronological order. Now in teams I miss a lot of messages because the way it reorder them when someone respond to an old thread.

TBH the feature I miss the most, is reacting to a certain message with emojis! It added liveliness to the whole chat.

We're using NixOS for production systems for more then 5 years now (I only joined the company last year). and the functional approach has been more than rewarding.

We're strong adopters of the whole Nix ecosystem[1]. Having a reproducible, deterministic build of our applications and a functional configuration of our prod and dev server was a huge win for us. We can provision an exact-and I mean literally exact-copy of a cluster of machines in AWS with a click of button!
