Some of it is just familiarity but I found Google sheets to be a breath of fresh air and still find Excel just painful.
Although Google has really gotten pretty cluttered lately as they add features and slap them in whatever menu they pick at random.
Similar but with an interface that refuses to do anything new for 20 years.
It’s just some mostly-unwritten rule of English grammar. If you do it wrong it sounds wrong but most English speakers don’t think about it.
Edit: reference.
I guess I was thinking of “special characters” like Ł, ñ, ă and such.
ruby shoes that are red
You mostly nailed it but this one would be “red ruby shoes”
determiner, quantity, opinion, size, physical quality, shape, age, colour, origin, material, type, and purpose
Special characters suck in on-screen keyboards
Not as much as they do on physical keyboards with their “hold alt-gr and hope” approach.
Not true at all. (I see someone else already mentioned it but…)
I love mazes that intentionally defeat this method.
I’d describe it as making computer systems reliable.
Why is that? What do you feel is the downside?
Yes, kind of.
Someone might correct me if I’m wrong but it’s that, plus extra tooling to redirect the stuff that needs to be writable, plus more extra tooling to allow you to temporarily unlock the read-only parts in order to do system updates, plus a system updater that puts the whole system more-or-less under version control.
You mis-spelled “to-day”.
I only use it incidentally but my biggest gripe is the total inability to perform its one function of teleconferencing.
The bit where it lags the audio badly and then speeds it up to catch back up to real-time is absolutely infuriating to listen to, and such a failure of a tool that had. one. job.
It’s both, and they are in a sense the same.
Cheaper less skilled or less experienced programmers take longer to get similar results. One week with a a skilled programmer is a lot more value than one week with an unskilled programmer.
Even more if you want to invest some of that experienced programmer time to get the new guy up to speed.
Kinda but … they go together, and Active Directory is more or less LDAP+Kerberos with a sprinkling of standardization on top.
Busted. Pedantic smart ass it is.
That said I think the windows PIN code system is absurdly insecure but … eh you do you.
implement the Windows PIN thing for startup on my PC
If you’re that specific in your requirements, you’re gonna have a bad time. I don’t think Microsoft makes “Windows PIN” for Linux.
I love filter views, no real complaints there except that other people can’t manage to figure out the difference between filtering the whole sheet and setting up a filter view.
Tables seem kind of pointless but better than a separate database app I guess?
Not sure about “little pills”, do you mean the drop downs? That’s in validation, and it’s a little odd but better both in interface and function than Excel. There’s really only one version and two ways to do it: “data validation” and “insert drop-down” (the latter is just a shortcut to the former, but with relevant options selected). Checkboxes are the same (both live in the insert menu).
I’ve never known the “paste style” menu, I mostly use keyboard shortcuts when pasting. I might be misunderstanding what you’re describing there.
