Speaking as someone who tried to cut tech out of my life outside of work as much as possible... there's also the chance that your circles slip away as a result.

A lot of that stuff depends on the proctor. When I took the driving test the first time in my state (not CA), he almost failed me because I failed every single left turn. Thankfully at the end he asked a question, and realized that I had do

On the c# side though Jetbrains has possibly suffered a little bit. I know a lot of people have ditched ReSharper because it's just too slow in VS2019 and the built in stuff is often 'good enough' for them. Others either deal

Here's where I'm at. Does some weird/shady shit happen? Yes. But one would think with all of the firings and forced resignations he's done, that would be a department he would 'clean up'?

There's a difference in certain contexts between 'null' (i.e., a reader that is not initialized) versus DBNull (the value has been set as null by the db or something else). I still think its technically correct. I get that it

They are also forced to by market realities (which you bring up). They can't just ratchet up the prices to where they would get the same margin as for an SUV. But many people can't afford that. The big 3 made a conscious decision

N4000 at least is OOO. I'm pretty sure the 330 was the early core that was (to my understanding) more like a p5 than p6 in design, In order but with HT. A lot of low power cheapie cpus from the era of the N4000 have similar trade offs,

Does it? I mean, if I see a good developer who is interested in learning F#, that means I have found a good developer who is interested in learning something off the beaten path. For certain organizations that is exactly what they need.

idk. Null in an object versus null from the database could mean something different so DBNull makes sense. Also, I don't see how you could say DBNull is responsible for forcing object on us. They could have just as easily made it a str

I'll agree with you there. I'm not a fan of the scaffolding and the overall obtuseness around applicationbuilder, before I understood it the thing felt more unintelligible than a monad burrito to a first year cs student.

You are correct that it has gotten worse since the arbitration decisions. Also, if you think its hard to resolve something when you're a customer, wait till you see how they treat you if you aren't! To wit: I spent months fighting

SQLite works well for app files. Bentley uses it for all sorts of stuff and I had way fewer corrupt files in their format than Autodesks. :) Do note that sqlite itself doesn't have the kindest handling of date/times, you are at th

I think ORM might have been brought up because in many embedded DBs there is some level of language native bindings that eliminate the need for an ORM. A couple of examples that come to mind would be mnesia (KV store rather than SQL but sti

Ironically I saw it more as profiting from folks who would have such as a domain as a showing of pride, but i am fortunate enough to work in an environment where people are comfortable enough to do that sort of thing.

This is not legal advice. WRT receiving stolen property... typical remedy is to either simply return the item of pay for replacement value. So, in a worst case, you could probably hold on to it for at least 2 years [1]. [1] - I am not a

WRT CoreRT... It -is- a bit of a shame, yes. But 'not productized' isn't quite the same as non functional. Streets of Rage 4 actually uses it for some environments. The problem is that it seems Microsoft more wanted CoreRT as

I've never worked at a company which spoke about work-life balance that did not mean 'work is the balance of your life'.

More of the same. Bootcamps to try to push down the salary of software developers by flooding the market with folks who leave messes for others to clean up. Then they wonder why everyone is less productive afterwards.

Oh good. For a minute I was worried Telerik was launching a bootcamp.

I have at least one theory. High pressure environments make people loopy, especially if they are already marginal. In one past project Hell (60 hour weeks for a good 6+ months) I got all but propositioned for a tryst by a colleague of the o

Trust me, it's just another smokescreen for all the problems they still have.

Can confirm, buying my significant other an iWatch cleaned up my call history from that point forward considerably.

Depends on the size or structure of the data. If you're having to do things like updates over a large dataset, SQLITE can be nice because of the performance boosts from indexing.

Odd, I usually dont have too many cable issues with USBC. Perhaps I'm blessed by always going with Startech or QVS for cables. Paying a little more has always been worth it in less frustration.

This doesn't really surprise me. The Java toolchain has always been a bit painful to me, although I come from the world of .NET where we were able to learn from Java's early mistakes and settled on a fairly simple toolchain. But e

Yeah and it's easy to see why it happened. In the 80s the fairness doctrine was killed. In short words it required certain forms of opinion pieces to give an opposing viewpoint. [0] Bringing this back would probably have a bigger impac

FX fighter is my favorite example on PC. Sure, the mechanics were a little shallow and camera bugs because it's 3d in 1995, but it ran on a 486/66 surprisingly well! Tie fighter and X wing are other examples in their own right as
