Mr. Satan

Two words: good fucking luck!

Lately I’m more and more disappointed in EU legislations. Especially having to live with them…

Thanks, but no thanks, sir. I’ll code my website myself.

Hey, you do you. I refuse to use anything apple related, but I’ll be damned if they don’t make great hardware and extremely convenient ecosystem.

Counter argument: Potato and Spacy

Notification syncing between devices is nonexistent in Teams and there are no conversation threads.

In general teams is way more buggy with worse UX. I don’t know if it’s a thing on Teams that our workplace disabled, but there’s no decent notification management. If I take a day off, I can set my notifications in Slack as mute for that day and I can manage notifications for messages vs mentions vs mute per channel.

On Teams I can’t permanently set Enter as new line, I have to click that rich text editor icon for every single message.
On mobile Teams started doing this thing in group chats where, if I move the cursor with drag on space gesture and then move it back to the end of the message, Teams interprets this as a desire to “attach a program”, like power apps (whatever that is).
Pasting in code block also gets me every time. I’ll start a code block in Teams window, go to another window, copy the text and click back on my code block. Teams just drops the cursor to the end of message outside my code block and by the time I notice I already hit ctrl+v.

My last pet peeve is about formatted copy pasting and applies to Slack as well but Teams having more text formatting options shows more of an impact. Never, and I repeat, NEVER have I wanted to paste anything with formatting, especially if I grabbed it form a website, word, excel, pdf or a code editor. Why is it the default and nonnegotiable? I can change the default on Libre Office, why not on Teams? It’s a chat app why would I need headings like in a regular doc?
Every time it gets me, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, fuck ctrl+z, ctrl+shift+v…

Tried salt and vinegar once, they were horrible

I scored 10/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Fair, sounds reasonable

What would 0 represent then?

Wouldn’t max value for 8 bit (unsigned) integer be 255? Like the number has 256 distinct values, but that includes 0.

Add Home/End buttons into your work flow to jump to the start or end of lines. Works with holding Shift as well.

Works with Ctrl too

Ok, windows “hacks” I use at work.

There’s a setting in windows that opens snipping tool when print screen is pressed. This allows to select a screen, window or a rectangle. More than that, it also has screen recording functionality. Very good for quick screen grabs with no additional software required.

Useful for multilinguals out there. Windows (and some linux distros) have an option to bind keyboard layout selection to open windows, meaning alt+tab’ing no longer requires switching between languages.

EDIT:
A phone thing. Some keyboards have whitespace and backspace drag functionality, that allows to move the cursor or highlight and delete text without blocking your view with your fat fingrers.

ANOTHER EDIT:
Having a mouse with at least two thumb buttons is a god send. Moving backwards and forwards between application pages is very useful.

Also, for devs. Go through you IDE shortcut settings and configure (ctrl|shift|alt)+click shortcuts. Having mouse controls to navigate between declarations, usages and implementations of different code elements with intention is awesome.
In the same vein: ctrl+(f|r) and ctrl+shift+(f|r) for find or replace in file or whole project respectively is really common use case.
Have multicarret shortcuts that allow edits in multiple lines at once. Don’t forget to add shortcuts like alt+(up|down) to move selected lines up and down.
Configure shortcuts for code folding like ctrl+numpad+ and ctlr+numpad- to expand and hide current block or combine with shift to manipulate the whole file.
And for gods sake use home and end keys, combined with ctrl and shift it allows for efficient navigation and selection within a file. Combine it with multicarret support and ctrl+side_arrow_keys and you have a way to sync multiple carrets and efficiently edit multiple lines.

Finnaly: f1 – help, f2 – rename, f5 – refresh / run, optionally with ctrl, f11 – fullscreen, f12 – devtools.

This, I feel unproductive when I use a mouse without side buttons.

I use zsh autosuggestion and syntax highlighting plugins it gives me usable history search and completion functionality.

Not a computer hack, but some phone keyboards have backspace and whitespace drag, the former allowing to select a range form the cursor to delete and the latter moving the cursor. Way more usable than trying to fat finger cursor position and selection.

Combine home and end with ctrl to move to the start or end of the file. As a dev I use this a lot.

I also have keyboard shortcuts for code folding and mouse shortcuts to navigate between usages, declarations and implementations. Onboarding people is a slog when they don’t have the same shortcuts.

Unless the page uses shitty “link” implementation where buttons are use instead of actual anchor tags. Fucking SPAs…

Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
After reading the comments I think I’ve never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn’t leave an impresion.

Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.
