Same could be said against Windows. Ever used Windows 8? "Everyone" hated it. Windows 10 has gone for the hybrid UI; both "modern" and traditional. At the same time. I'm not sure why you say it's hard for UI&#x

Yet you're fine with others forcing you. I don't use anything Adobe, yet I don't remember having a problem opening such files (regardless of OS). If so, I'm not afraid to respond with "Hey, can you export/save

IDE vs CLI has nothing to do with it. Windows isn't the only OS that has a graphical IDE - likewise Bash is available on Windows. (all of my tools are available on both systems)

I develop for Windows, but I use Linux. I find Windows to be a hindrance (I've used it from v3.1 to 7, so it's nothing to do with unfamiliarity). Microsoft may be trying to become developer friendly - but their OS certainly is not

I thought that was also the case in the UK, but it turns out you need to have been employed for 2 years for that rule to apply.

Same story here. Although, I was halfway through my journey home when I felt a huge weight had been taken off my back. Sometimes getting fired is good.

It's done to prevent a loop where an automated response causes an automated response.

The fact that you feel the need to ask "is this a red flag?" on HN is the red flag. I was on a 1 month notice, and they let me go after 6 months for "performance" reasons. No mention of any performance issues in my 2 r

I agree. GD/LO spreadsheets are an appalling database engine. I don't want to tell you how to do your own job, but if it's normal to handle millions of lines in a spreadsheet, you might be doing it wrong. (2 mins in excel; 2

By the way, the chips of smartcards are enough to perform encryption, as well as storing keys. (fast enough for streams in 'real-time' - I don't know)

Ping isn't the easiest - it uses physics and is 'real-time'. Simon is the easiest, in my opinion. Simple logic and graphics.

I'm now old. VB actually got me into Windows development - coming from C & DOS, at the time the message pump was difficult for me to grasp. For LOB apps, VB1-6 was the most productive language by far.

A few authors have Google to thank, as I've bought many books due to the content showing up in search results. On the other hand, I've also "consumed" some book content without purchasing it. In those cases, how is it di

There's no need to be "grilled" on something you did 10+ years ago (unless it's a requirement of the job, of course). Perhaps a "have you used Pascal since leaving ...?" would suffice.
