It's a question to filter out people who don't know a lick of Delphi for a position where the person was coding Delphi. It's like level 2 after the hello world chapter. It's easier than asking a database developer the di

Ya sorry, this was way back in the late 90s-early 00s. It's still only relevant in SQL dev.

We do this too, works fine. We ask open ended questions like, "What's your favorite thing you've done in your career and why?" and "What was the most challenging project in your career and why?" If you listen,

Ok, that's pretty damn funny. Thanks for bringing light in a sea of whatever the hell this thread is.

I can certainly see that. I try not to consume daily news. If it's actually important, someone will tell me about it.

Sure they will. US car manufacturers ship parts to Mexico where they are assembled and shipped into the US for sale. If that method now costs 25% more, they will probably move some manufacturing back home to avoid the tariff. Apply that to

Globalization is a big one. There are no good jobs for average people anymore, they all got moved to Mexico or China or Vietnam, etc. Tariffs can help with that if applied correctly.

I've read a hypothesis that it's because when you learn to speak, you remember things in a new way. You don't know how to access the memories you stored before you knew how to speak.

A decade or two ago Wranglers were the cheaper option compared to most pickups. They've been in decline for a while, unfortunately. They seem like fun vehicles.

Obama wanted to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Was that unconstitutional as well? I don't remember reading any articles about it being that. As to the constitutionality of Trumps order, it certainly isn't as definitively unco
