Off-topic, but.. > refused to update or support our Windows machines past 7 What's your long term strategy? Is there a silver bullet?

IMO, €32k is decent for a junior position with 1 year experience. Isn't that the average wage, generally?

Honestly, from not ever using nginx to having an auto-renewing "A+" HTTPS site took no longer than 3 hours.

Same could be said about their IRC gateway.

This is good news for me. My company was considering Slack - the only reason it was agreed was due to the IRC gateway. So it looks like slack is out of the question now.

I'm guessing it's cheaper. Why else would they?

Sounds like half the workplaces, too.

> The one thing it's good for is as a replacement for a rolodex That's the only thing I use it for. It was "ok" a couple of years ago, I even went premium for 2 months while looking for a new job (not worth it, at all

Well, it's unfortunate that we have people like this who make employers feel the need to track their workers.

At companies that let you decide for yourself (I've worked at 4), it's Mac and Linux. Windows is rare.. but there's usually one or two. Different IDEs. Just use whatever your more comfortable/efficient with. Admin use Wi

You shouldn't treat multiple monitors as a single display.

Is Minecraft still a thing? Have my kids (10,13) just grew out of it?

I know. It doesn't apply to Amazon - I wish the workers all the luck.

I know this doesn't really apply to Amazon, however I think it's irresponsible striking on the companies busiest days. If you want to keep your job, your company needs money. If you want better wages/conditions, your company

Then why did they drop Mobile?

I would love to see what you develop. My graphics card supports the native UI elements of Windows. My users don't want a "Save as" dialog with life-like water refraction and fog, rendered at higher FPS than their monitor.

Did you check for Linux support before you purchased it? If not, you can't blame Dell for your choice. (I'm the type of person to buy the car before choosing the tyres)

> no professional UI development is possible In your opinion. I'm a professional. My skills relate to the domain/subject, not a specific software package/language/library. I'm able to transfer my skills and learn

by beavis2 9y ago
I find that to be irrelevant for development (except games, of course). In fact, my graphics card (the cheapest to support Vista) is the only thing I haven't upgraded in the past 5+ years. And it was from eBay, used.

Hopefully a JetBrains C# IDE is also on the way, then we can finally be rid of the pig in lipstick!

You list "benefits" that you're able to discount (there are far more), and your "costs" are straw-men quibbles (1st & 3rd are the same, 2nd only relates to Windows users), it's obvious where you bias lies.

That's for performance because I guess the majority of users would probably not notice the difference. They can be represented in JS, but not natively.

It's not an issue. I've noticed dart2js performance is as good as hand-written js. At least with dart2js I have just one "VM" to target - Google have sorted the x-browser issues for me. Imagine the peculiarities you&#x

Mobile + cloud to me just infers "thin client + central server". Ironic; The very thing that MS helped the world move away from. Anyway, they were late to both parties, now it's full steam ahead to catch up with the rest, wha
