miaklesp··on DoorDash Changes Tipping Model After Uproar
Just set tip to 0 every time.
miaklesp··on DoorDash Changes Tipping Model After Uproar
I never pay any tips except in restaurants. I always set tip to 0 in Prime Now etc. I makes me feel good that I can spend the saved money on myself.
miaklesp··on The Future of Docker Desktop for Windows
Only reading about video driver issues and sleep/hibernation configuration puts me off Linux desktop. Windows is a great and modern user-friendly OS. Office 365 is awesome too. WSL is the latest missing piece.
miaklesp··on The Future of Docker Desktop for Windows
Updates were improved in 1903
miaklesp··on Jack Ma Again Endorses Extreme Overtime as Furor Rages On
Passion of his employees is very well observable from garbage quality products they make: trashy APIs, utter trash SDKs, broken endpoints, outages, broken user stories.

Amazon also treats its employees like shit but at least their products are usable.

miaklesp··on VSCodium – An Open Source Visual Studio Code Without Trackers
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Telemetry in this case helps in improvement of the product, it's good for you as end user. If you don't like, please switch to another editor. You paid zero but setting requirements how it should and how it shouldn't. Good luck with utter ugly but no tracking and "free" GNU Emacs with its ancient Lisp and garbage packages.
miaklesp··on Withdrawing from the Microsoft MVP Program
What's the practical function of MVP in the era of GitHub and open source where everyone can join discussion with devs and PMs without a need to be part of any elitist group? Just to keep a handful of folks still proud of their MVP badges they earned in 2001?
miaklesp··on So you want your app/website to work in China
Your site should be very important that everyone tries to hack it.
miaklesp··on A listing of companies that don't do whiteboard job interviews
How many nights and weekends should be uselessly wasted on LeetCode to get in shape before the whiteboard interview?

At least learning of new things in CSS will give you new useful knowledge which you can potentially apply in future.

miaklesp··on Huawei Trolls U.S. on Spy Claims with a Jab at Snowden
> I'd rather take the US government spying on me than the Chinese government spy on me.

Not everyone shares your opinion.

miaklesp··on I have chosen the wrong flight dates because your date picker is broken
It's not a bug, it's they business model. Why do you think that are so cheap and so successful at the same time?
miaklesp··on Instacart paying 80 cents an hour because worker received a large tip
Just don't tip. Tipping is bullshit.

It's company responsibility to set the pricing policy so everyone one gets paid.

If they don't pay their workers, it's not my problem.

miaklesp··on Amazon DocumentDB, with MongoDB compatibility
UPDATE: They are idiots.
miaklesp··on Amazon DocumentDB, with MongoDB compatibility
Of all possible names they managed to choose already obsolete name for a similar product from Azure?

Azure in 2017: forget DocumentDB, Cosmos DB is the new thing now!

AWS in 2019: We just released DocumentDB!

Are they so geniuses or so idiots?

miaklesp··on WhatsApp update will bring ADS to the popular messaging platform in the New Year
If you are a journalist reporting from a repressive county and living in danger - better use Signal/Tor/PGP. But if you an average human who just wants to share family photos or discuss work stuff and keep the data in privacy, out of Google/Facebook, advertisement agencies and court orders - then Telegram is much more pleasant messenger to use.

Signal is a messenger for sequrity enthusiasts, Telegram is a privacy-respecting messenger for average user. Quality of Signal apps is not that good in comparison, Telegram is just much, much better for everyday use. It has native (not Electron) open-source clients for all popular platforms, tons of features and stickers (valuable for average people) and conveniently synchronises between devices. It does not have goal of monetization, but respects privacy of users and does not cooperate with governments. Has anti-blocking mechanisms built-in.

Based on past actions of Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, there are no much reasons to not trust in integrity if his intentions so far.

miaklesp··on An Apology and an Update
Which platform would be better today from practical standpoint? for a remote team of developers. Matrix?
miaklesp··on I Do Not Like Go
It's good only for those who didn't see anything better.
miaklesp··on Hyper.sh cloud service will shut down on Jan 15
Azure Container Instance billed per second, specifically for short lived tasks.
miaklesp··on Corel confirms it has acquired virtualization specialist Parallels
Please don't use! Also don't use any JetBrains products (including Kotlin). Otherwise Commies will come and hack your brain.
miaklesp··on Is Windows 10 still telling what you're doing even if you don't want it to?
If you don't like, just don't use.
miaklesp··on Maximizing password manager attack surface
OMG, those Russkies trying to steal our democracy
miaklesp··on Microsoft’s enterprise products covertly gather personal data on users
I looked through the referenced document, didn't find anything about Microsoft.

Are you sure that pro-Microsoft agenda is against the community guidelines?

miaklesp··on ProtonMail Hits 5M Accounts
I'm using FastMail for two years already and it's good.

Only thing I don't like in them is lack of transparency how do they address customer feedback:

- no roadmap

- no uservoice

- no discussion forums

- the only big change I saw from them in past two years is the new Files UI (who does need it?)

They don't evolve and all feedback goes to /dev/null

miaklesp··on Apple's best product is now privacy
Can I do the following workflow on iPhone:

1. navigate to a download link in browser, download the file

2. change file extension to zip, and unpack it to a folder

3. open one of the extracted .docx files and open in Word

4. save it as a PDF file

5. go to Mail app and attach the PDF file

Is the $1000 phone with the 'fastest processor of the market' capable to do this?

miaklesp··on Apple's best product is now privacy
What's the point of having the 'fastest processor on the market' if you are completely locked down?

- no background tasks, OneDrive experience sucks

- file system experience sucks, cannot save file in one app and open in another

- no alternative browsers

- no apps like Termux, or other emulators

It's a joke!

What are you going to do with this 'fastest processor'? Make photos of food for Instagram?

miaklesp··on Russia tries more precise technology to block Telegram messenger
They don't. They just don't have power to do anything about it.
miaklesp··on TSA screeners win immunity from flier abuse claims: U.S. appeals court
They all are!

Normal people just choose another job.

miaklesp··on Firefox dropped below the 10% share value on Netmarketshare
Last redesign of Chrome was good. Very good browser, deserves to be afloat.
miaklesp··on GitHub removes IF_MS_BUYS_GITHUB_IMMA_OUT repository from Trending
Worried people are free to choose another service provider.

This is just childish show of immature people.

Commercial business did commercial M&A with another business.

Those people are trying to do outcry for something they never owned.
