San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

Three years ago after trying Unity for a month I chose to learn Godot instead. I see now how right that decision was. Well done past self. Have a future cookie.

For me the rule that has always worked is "bet everything on open-source". It has always paid off.

When people at uni used Matlab, I learned R (before R-studio even existed) and python. I moved to linux as soon as I could. I never wanted to learn anything MS or Apple specific, or proprietary technologies such as visual studio, excel, vba, c#, SAS. I went on docker ASAP...

Now the world in my field runs on open source tecnologies, and I am the leaders of the "new stuff" wherever I go.

On the long term learning open source solutions is always a win. Best case scenario it becomes the industry standard, worst case scenario it gives you the know how to master proprietary tools

I agree for the most part, but Excel is just so good.

They say “Excel excels at excel”.

I prefer Google Sheets over Excel but cannot tell you why.

[–] DichotoDeezNutz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it the UI? We use Google sheets at my work and I hate it. Missing formulas & formatting options that I like.

It works fine if you do the basics, but its not as full featured as I want it.

Really? My Google Sheets has so many formulas and conditional formatting. There's so much I can't do in Excel that I can do in Sheets :/

Also, adding checkboxes in Excel is a pain lol. They made it so difficult.
