   I grew up with a mouse too and am excellent with it. I was born in the 90’s for reference. However recently on the job I have learned to use keyboard to navigate mainframe menus and editors and it’s very nice. While I don’t find a mouse bad

   Seems everyone commenting on the post from earlier today totally missed the ultimate point of his post, which was UI bloat and failing to take advantage of keyboard efficiencies. It's almost like the large majority of them only read th

   The begging of his rant was was very much all over the place but towards the end he very much honed in on the loss of keyboard efficiency. I'm sure everyone who has experienced keyboard efficiency can agree. I think the part you quoted

   Windows gives you a lot of control, but some of the stuff requires going to the registry to stop windows bs. But, we have a registry.

   Way more convenient. Before I moved, I had a friend who made them. I knew they were safe, since they were pure cannabis oil. No solvents. Now I don’t have access, so I do opt for herb vapes. But I can’t understand why some would use carts,

   Unfortunately brands are sold online in the form of empty kits that anyone can then fill and sell. So while there are some brands out there, not all of them are really reliable. The same black married brand in different states is unlikely t

    But which one is more consistent? Are you gonna trust wide spread laws and regulations or that high school kid selling carts out of his Honda Element to be more reliable when it comes to safety checking?

    So because it still has some downsides, we should just let it be unregulated and notably more dangerous? I don’t get your point, especially when all the information is pointing to unsafe and non-standard solvents being the cause of these ca

    I learned of a theory that sacred geometry—often seen after ingesting psychedelics—is simply the ‘signal noise’ within our own brain. The removal of filters allows us to see this noise and would explain why these patterns are so commonly se

    I’ve only had one professor that cleared my memory, that and AP exams. But even then, I would archive my programs so that they wouldn’t get deleted during the memory clear. I’ve never seen a professor that knew about archived programs.

    I’ve always figured they wouldn’t throw so much money at it if it wasn’t working. I assume the advertising makes them massive profits. I’m sure there are pretty of studies out there.

    It is substantially cheaper to train people and training people in COBOL is easy. Some businesses are starting to realize and even try to encourage IBM to do more to promote their products. As another user said, allowing people to spin up z

    I got hired as a COBOL dev just recently, in a low cost of living area, fresh out of college, for 55k. Salary will certainly go up. I see average in my state as 70-90k/year with some experience. I agree cobol dev's salary aren&#x2
