Of course I can understand the psychological part of it, but that's what I contest here.

You write an insightful message in a forum. Perhaps 5,000 people read it, 100 upvote it, 200 downvote it, and let's say that 5 reply with disagreement or trolling.

So in the end you find yourself frustrated with the 100 downvotes and the 5 trolls. It's irrational.

I can understand how people who profit from likes, upvotes and comments in forums and social media can care about their "Internet points". But for an individual person to care if their post has any kind of vote or to track the number of likes, sorry, I don't think that rationalizing it is any beneficial, productive, sensical.

Moreover, why do you only care about the downvotes? Why don't upvotes bother you? Something to think about :)

So this comes from Play Services. It appears the launcher has an exclusive hook for Play Services to show content in, and is being used for this purpose.

I am still reverted to the original Android TV Launcher because it takes less clicks to reach some functionality and is simpler, but the recommendation banner ruins it somewhat.

In your work calendar: Settings -> Settings for My Calendars -> Access Permissions -> Get shareable link.

In your personal calendar: Other Calendars -> Subscribe to Calendar

With this, I've managed to remove all other traces of work from my personal phone.

There's a value if you provide a CLI tool for that, for automation.

In the end your senior developers will end up better developers and better in technical stuff than you. And that is fine.

Opening a jira issue to document a change that everyone should be aware of can take me literally one minute, and I've even assigned it to the sprint and version.

"Developers don't like JIRA, they love GitHub": these are some generalizations that can often be true. However, you can also automate JIRA using your VCS of choice. You somehow make the assumption that only GitHub git + GitHub issues can be automated.

I would sign up for the newsletter in a heartbeat. I subscribe to many newsletters by Cooperpress (Javascript Weekly etc) and the weekly "best of js" rankings, and this would be a great complement to them.

Perhaps I'm a bit old school or not as invested in open source "marketing", but I appreciate some more humility and honesty in a project description. With amazing open source projects like n8n and nodered around, it's usually best to wait and receive the title of the "best" from others rather than give it to yourself.

Still waiting for them to contact me at the email _they_ used, to ask for their money back. I have no way of contacting them as the sender info is hidden.

I love mutt and have used it in the past, but I'm very productive with Gmail in the browser, especially with the vim-like shortcuts it provides and with an inbox-zero-like workflow.

In Prefereneces -> Sidebar set slack to only show "Unreads and starred conversations". This reduces the list of channels to these two things. (Edit: it might be a good idea to star all conversations that need followup, first).

Muted channels (which I make use of a lot) will still not trigger notifications, but now you'll know that, if it appears in the sidebar, there are unreads there.

I star any conversations that comes up and needs followups or actions. When I'm done with it, I unstar it and it goes away.

This has worked wonders for me and I highly suggest the same workflow to everyone.

Note that after the latest Slack update, it should be possible to make use of the groups feature and use them together with the workflow above. This way you can have multiple statuses like TODO, awaiting reply and delegated, like in the parent article, rather than a single set of starred conversations. So far I haven't felt the need for this personally.

Oh and one more thing. In Preferences -> messages and media set it to "Compact", it will declutter the UI a bit.

A trick I used to do was to jump up to the NTSC equivalent (640x400) which was flickering less in my standard monitor.

With https now prevalent, filtering with a proxy server remains annoying. I vastly prefer the model of uBlock Origin for desktops, and a combination of Firefox + uBlock origin and a dns blocker (Blokada) on Android.

They still have some more unique features. I'm not sure which of the following have now made it to Google Maps but here are my favorites:

* Recommendations for routes that involve combining bike sharing with transit. (They call it multimodal labs)

* Commute alerts in case of disruptions.

* Map with all the transit features nearby.

* Shows car sharing options as well (such as Zipcar), in addition to Uber / Lyft of course.

* If you start a "Go" trip you get notifications on which station to get off at. On android it also works great with a smartwatch (full support for Android Wear).
