Thunderbird, for classic email usage is the best option if you don't want to pay for Outlook.

And you are right the interface not only gets in your way, most of the time it doesn't open the email when you click on it. Incredible that at Google those praised engineers make a unusable product.

in redux there's so much repetition that most of the time you do copy->paste->find&replace entity name.

Re:Ask HN: What's the strangest place you wrote code? on Thursday May 10, 2018 @09:55AM (#17038854)
a web-based administration software to handle various things related to the Vatican's library and university, like physical access, people registration, accounting etc. kinda boring but still exciting for the good and the bad of working in that environment
Re:Ask HN: What's the strangest place you wrote code? on Thursday May 10, 2018 @09:22AM (#17038576)
literally, sitting in the street, next to the Vatican to fix a bug before a demo with the Holy audience
american people who judge indians is pathetic, and the fact the they feel "superior" is really funny. i bet that with the same education an indian is way more smart than an american.

most of the comments in this thread are bullshit.

Re:I Almost Left Tech Today on Thursday July 27, 2017 @04:27PM (#14869142)
from the article looks like everything started just after the author posted a link on the slack channel. maybe just avoid posting this articles on slack. you are supposed to work not to rise a fire. if you had problem about sexism in the company you should leave/complain and not trying to fix something chitchatting on slack.

Re:Uber’s Complicit Board on Monday June 26, 2017 @06:01AM (#14635484)
yeah of course, too bad people who drives Uber are not using Waze. Personally in various cities i had to rely on classic Taxi after having issues with Uber, like calling 20 times a ride and the guy never show up/canceled after 20 minutes (Amsterdam, 3x) or driver got lost with the support of the GPS of course (Lisbon, 5x), or the time i had to tell him the way ( he was using gps ). For my needs it's a useless service cause they cannot give a standard good service.
Re:Uber’s Complicit Board on Monday June 26, 2017 @04:43AM (#14635094)
no is not better. Taxi people know the fucking streets. Uber driver dont know how to go from A to B without a gps.

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone here have an art degree? on Saturday January 07, 2017 @09:57AM (#13344386)
I have a degree in Digital Design, basically 3 intensive years about graphic design, 3d modeling and video editing etc, before that i studied a lot of programming and math in high school. After the design school i wanted to work in the Film industry, so i took some gigs as a 3d Generalist, maybe 5 or 6 projects, but in the mean time i was already working as a developer and making more money in one month of coding compared to 6 months of "design" work. So at some point i just decided to not "waste time" in any other design project but try to become a better developer.

Today i apply my artistic knowledge a lot when i do prototypes or when in the company there's a lack of designers. The other good thing is that when i enjoy myself building little games or web apps, i can create the assets myself.
