I had a not great experience with Notes. It was slow and cumbersome. I had become used to Outlook for e-mail, plain simple e-mail. It was fast, light and didn't treat everything as a note. Notes is this heavy app that was slow to load anything with an early 90's aesthetic.
I worked for a large financial (~80,000 employees) that decided to move to Notes from in-house exchange servers well after it was obvious Microsoft had won the productivity wars. Rumor mill suggested it was brought in at the direction of a board member who just so happened to have close interests with IBM.
It set overall productivity back by at least 5 years before executives were forced to make a very decisive and quick move to O365. The reason given were scalability issues, the overwhelming cost of purchasing P-Series hardware (6-digits for one server) by the rack to keep up with demand along with the cost of developers attempting to make something useful for all of the different business needs.
Last I checked they are still stuck with some small, but essential work being diverted through Notes despite the move back to Microsoft.
I haven't used Solaris since the last time I used it for work over 10 years ago. Agree ZFS and Zones are both exceptional, I would still use Solaris now where it made sense.
Block Communications just closed two papers in Pittsburgh this year. The Post Gazette has been around since 1786. There are fewer and fewer[1] options available and I suspect this is a disturbing trend across many locations.
The standard playbook. If its not nuclear weapons, it's the spread of democracy, or "helping people". The global police just securing their natural resources, nothing to see here.
Nope to all of this. It’s impossible to get everyone to follow the rules. I also dislike Salesforce and what Slack has become. Less slck if you please.
My summer camps were spent buried in the Lone Wolf book series. The smell of the books. Keeping all my fingers at all the choice points so I could cheat my way back to the book end.
The transparency and clarity is something others should attempt to model in my opinion. If a child can understand it, then what does it hurt to be childish in the report? As a professional I wish more would report in like fashion.
I found https://ohmyposh.dev/ works for me. There’s something about transient prompts that (at the time?) was a problem for starship. There are several other alternatives I’ve tried with meh results.
I've used Powerlevel10k for ages (https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k), but it seems it's no longer actively developed / maintained. I think it's a lot cleaner, how I have it set up right now it shows some information like timestamp, Ruby versions, command runtime etc on the right side, whereas Starship shows it right at the prompt.
Starship only supports this in PowerShell for whatever reason.
Edit: Doh. I see what you linked to now. Yea, maybe it does work in more than just PowerShell now?
Transient prompt basically removes your prompt decorations and replaces it with just `>` in your scroll back history in your shell sessions. In my case it's a slightly more complex transient prompt (datetime and exit code of the command), but still greatly simplified.
Makes cut-and-paste of history in to docs and stuff super nice.
oh, wow, didn't realize powerlevel10k was no longer maintained. that's a bummer. I liked it better than Starship last time I yak-shaved my local cli workflow.
