Sounds like a very standard Google experience. To anyone stuck in a similar hell in the future - once the company has demonstrated that they aren't willing to help, there is no point continuing down that road. Escalate it to your credit card provider (with documentation) and they will clear it up pretty quick.

They'll clear it up by banning your Google account and blacklisting you for all Google services. Just be prepared for that.

How did they not block based on nationality when they literally blocked a nation?

Skype for Business, works on prem. Matrix is probably good too. Confluence can be installed on prem already.

SfB is ok for one-to-one or one-to-few communication, but the chats are pure garbage.

Probably the infamous "thumbnails in file picker" bug that is a meme on 4chan's /g/:

But that's not a bug. It's a feature request

My team recently ganged up on me to tell me my line spacing was f*cked. Upon reflection, it seems that as I'm writing code I group lines into 'working well - one line, 'not sure - two lines', 'probably will change - lots of space', 'hey look at me! - off by itself'. Apparently, this unconcious invisible system drives others crazy. Developers are so picky! ;-)

We've actually got a bunch of automatic eslint rules, but it doesn't correct for this. Looking at the various beautifiers, I couldn't find anything that really cleaned up line spacing very well, and ended up running a bunch of sed commands to remove lines and then spacing out things manually in a "sane" way (so picky!!). Having a formatter that actually parsed the AST and rewrote the code like gofmt will be very handy if it works - I'll have to try it out.

There's a eslint rule for multiple blank lines

I really don't understand why developers use macs at all. They're not good dev machines. All production systems I work with are some flavor of linux (mostly ubuntu). There is actually a real impedance mismatch when I'm using my mac for work purposes. All those cores and RAM become meaningless when I have to do everything in a VM anyway. My personal dev machine is a project sputnik running ubuntu 16.04. I can understand why designers would use them but programmers never made any sense.

> It has polish and care that the stereotypical raging neckbeards who espouse the mantra of Linux on the desktop are unable to appreciate (or, apparently, build), and it has to exist, even if merely as a counterpoint to all the ugliness.

Yeah, but we could have a big, standard library polyfill, and it would quickly find its way into everybody cache, just like jQuery.

We do. It's called Lodash.

I currently have non-Wi-Fi programmable thermostats. I have no experience with Nest directly, but from the description of how it determines when to turn the temp up or down I don't see how it would be that "smart" for me. I work from home, but my office is nowhere near the downstairs thermostat. So any motion detection it might do would assume that nobody is home, when I in fact am.

On the other hand, my simple Honeywell thermostats do wonderfully because I can program them to my actual schedule and only need to adjust things twice a year. Sure, it's probably not as efficient as a dynamic algorithm, but I'd rather to do this than worry about waking up freezing in the middle of the night, or worse, having my condenser unit fried by an over-eager thermostat by starting/stopping it constantly.

I am thinking of getting something Wi-Fi compatible though because setting the temp from my phone would be really nice. Too bad not many work with multi-zone systems.

The Nest thermostats do let you set a schedule manually. I set that up a long time ago because their "smart" algorithm was pure garbage.
