This was the dream of C#, Managed C++, F# and VB.Net on the .Net runtime. It worked out OK for some people, but IMO not all that great -- all the languages trended towards being syntactic sugar on top of C#. The hard part is rarely the lang

This is actually somewhat common in epee competitions (i.e. I've seen it multiple times in national level tournaments), because they are high variance and defense is hugely advantaged. It's also a reasonable strategy because a tou

Your second paragraph is incorrect. Withdrawal is not an orderly transition to a previous physical state, it's the presence of previously unseen symptoms, typically due to biochemical adaptations to the presence of the foreign substanc

Do you have regular 1:1s with your now former mgr or current director? If so I would have been bringing this up on the regular, not to complain but to talk about how much you’re enjoying the new role and looking for feedback on how it’s goi

It's an incorrect implementation of the protocol, yes. That message should only be sent from the server to the client, and the server should not take any action (besides dropping the connection) when it's received.

And if you want a 99.99% confidence upper bound, it's (384-88+19)/384 == 82%. (the .01% is the probability of false negatives in the survey data). Again, pedantic, true, and useless, but cited for balance.
