I can’t think of the last time I took an unscheduled phone call. And there’s no notifications that require my real-time attention.

VYTSKA , to memes in HUP!

The amount of massive excel sheets I’ve seen in various departments, when I was working as an office IT was ridiculous.

Some people had to wait for 30 seconds with every minor change and that was “normal”.

Excel != Database

Track_Shovel OP ,

I have word documents that do that sometimes. It’s fucking terrible.

heird ,

I’ve worked for a massive corporation in which they had 300mb+ excel files they bought high specs computers just to have them load fast enough and searching would take 3 to 5 minutes we suggested that they’d try moving it to Microsoft access and the query became instant, I can’t imagine the hours wasted waiting for the queries to run

ReadyUser30 ,

My rule of thumb when Excel is still just fine:

  1. The data fits on the screen. Roughly 40x30 matrices are fine. These rules aren’t set in stone, so there are situations when it’s still justified to use matrices larger than that.
  2. You can see all the sheets you need. Roughly 10-14 sheets. If you need more sheets than that, you should probably split the calculation into several files.
  3. You need complicated VBA macros and you need them to run perfectly every time. In my experience, this programming language is infuriatingly unpredictable and unreliable. Random things happen all the time and no amount of debugging is able to solve these types of cosmic problems.

You can go beyond those general guidelines, but using everything gets more and more annoying the further you go. Pretty soon you’ll realize it would have been better to build the whole thing in Python, R or something else. Once the file size hits 15 MB you know you’ve gone way too far and it’s about time you rebuilt the whole calculation using some nicer tool. I try to switch as soon as possible when I realize my calculations are about to grow beyond these limits.

Why is Musk obsessed with the letter X anyway? It’s like he saw two lines and said, “this is the pinnacle of mankind!”

    Old_Dude , to lemmyshitpost in Overthrow a Government and Install a Puppet Dictator? The CIA will do it for Bananas!

    A show called Snowfall touches on a CIA agent working to bring in cocaine to the US to fund anti-communist militias in South America. Good show overall. Not the best, but interesting.

    It’s weird how people honestly learn more history from drama nowadays than actual school or something. And this isn’t a diss of any sort, I do that all the time; watch an interesting drama “based on reality” or something and afterwards I fact-check what things were actually historical and what weren’t.

    Iran-Contra affair used to be pretty well known, actually, but there’s a clear generational gap and I’m other side of the gap. But I know it used to be known better. How do I know that? Well, from an American Dad bit, obviously (“Wow, I just learned while I was being entertained!”)

    I love how completely bonkers the iran contra scheme was: we’re gonna use drug money to buy missiles and f14 parts for a country that imprisoned a bunch of our own people, because… reasons?

    Dasus ,
    @Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

    to be fair people doing what is essentially high-treason while having access to an unlimited supply of cocaine might lead some of them to do a bump or two for the stress, leading to a horrible negative feed-back loop.

    mojofrododojo ,

    while simultaneously writing new laws to persecute cheap cocaine (crack) users militantly. it’s all so fucking nuts…

    honestly the only people I would except that sort of shit is from people who are chronically somewhat psychotic from having abused stimulants for a loooong time. or ones who’ve not necessarily abused them long, but have stayed up for three or four days straight with stims. starts getting freaky at that point.

    either or explains most of Trumps verbal output imho

    That whole fun idea was proposed by Manucher Ghorbanifar, an Iranian/Israeli double agent

    MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles’s hypno kink.

    Well, voyeurism kink too. When they ran brothels in the u.s. and dosed the clients, then filmed them. You know, normal stuff we all do, but usually don’t get paid for.

    In fairness, when my scrawny ass was working refunds and continually hauling water heaters from the front entrance to the compactor in the far back, it was garden that was full of jacked dudes who helped me every once in a while.

    Garden and lumber had the best forklift drivers. Building materials and hardware had the jacked dudes from lifting bullshit weight all day.

    someguy3 , to lemmyshitpost in Risk your life with this one easy trick!

    At the end of my geotech class the Prof put up a joke slide that said something along the lines of “now you should know the difference between soil and dirt”. We all looked at each other because no one knew. He didn’t teach us that. He was also a shitty Prof.

    gencha , to linuxmemes in I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project

    If you don’t like snaps, don’t use the distribution by the company who tries to establish them.

    And also warn newcomers not to invest time into those distros.

    haui_lemmy ,

    Exactly. I hope pop moves away from ubuntu at some point though.

    jj4211 , (edited )

    I agree, have seen so many people trying to document how to “desnap” Ubuntu and wondered why bother, you are fighting against what is now the whole point of Ubuntu while trying to use Ubuntu while so many other options exist.

    I do happily encourage folks to explain why they left Ubuntu behind as I did (snaps). No confusion, just a reiteration of disappointment that they went from being my favorite distro to completely off my list with the snap stuff.

    trxxruraxvr , to linuxmemes in I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project

    They also called unity successful at some point

    Successful_Try543 ,

    Unity was a nice DE. Being on KDE since 12 years, I still miss some of its features, e.g. merging the menu items with the title bar.

    trxxruraxvr ,

    And yet they abandoned it.

    acockworkorange , (edited )

    Yeah, I was pissed when they went away from it. It was great for small screen devices.

    At least you could use a different desktop if you didn’t like it.

    Buying the Google Pixel and getting upset that it needs the Google App to fully function seems silly

    sgibson5150 OP , (edited )

    I haven’t had the opportunity to test on another brand phone but atm I’m assuming from the developer statement that this will be true of Google Translate on all Android phones. Thanks for your contribution, though.

    Edit: If the Google app is disabled on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, the same behavior occurs.

    merde ,

    many people buy oogle Pixel to use it with GrapheneOS. It doesn’t sound silly at all

    Rustmilian ,

    You have to switch the ROM completely for that, this seems to be a stock pixel thing.

    Adjusted for inflation, the heist was the most valuable in Canadian history until the 2023 Toronto Pearson International Airport heist

    Did they steal an airport in 2023?

    milicent_bystandr ,

    Also, does that qualify them to be called the Sticky Bandits? More professional than Marv and Harry at any rate.
