Bro’s not saying you have to memorize the manual, just like … read it. Even a bit of familiarity goes a long way.
If you have literally no memory then command line is 100% unusable but otherwise every little bit helps.

Have you tried sfc /scannow?
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.
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 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.


Me, via my taxes I would expect.


Bins in woodlands do not get emptied often and will often overflow
Think I found the problem— why not do the obvious thing and empty them more often?


I may have misunderstood, I was interpreting your comment to say that you were sticking with Windows — a paid commercial platform — while complaining about the cost of software.


I’ve got no problem myself, just pointing out that it’s silly for people to complain about price but then use a paid platform over a free one.


Yes but it is more “the manufacturer decided not to pay us to test it” rather than “it actually won’t work”


looks at empty wallet after paying for rent and food for the month :P
continues to choose a paid platform over an arguably-superior free alternative


And that’s why most (all?) things that are well-designed to provide external access have permalinks. Dropbox, Google, OneDrive…


That usually doesn’t apply to external access though. You don’t share stuff publicly by NFS or SMB.


What the hell shitty system does that?


The first is the only way that makes sense, the second too easily becomes post-grease-queue-el. Which is horrible.


What’s the difference? Those read the same to me. Do you mean that you want a strong gap between “gre” and the S in S-Q-L?
I find them okay, but I am much more concerned with consistent fonts than with a variety of decorative fonts.
The default fonts feel very old-fashioned though.
Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.
