I have been programming professionally since 1986 and still nothing beats logging or having chunks of specialized code to do dumps of some data to files so you can analyze them with tools better suited for the purpose. Ideally though you do

The only thing I dislike about it is you are committed to a whole year and timing on cancelling is painful.

I worked at Microsoft when Windows 95 was released and I'm certain that is the key we use to install it internally.

There has to be a lot of value in it for me to pay that kind of money for temporary usage of software. The closest thing right now is Jetbrains all products pack. I consider every November when the renewal comes up if I am going to continue

If I find a product useful and a 1-year subscription is available and doesn't feel expensive I will subscribe, then cancel renewal on it. This forces me to reevaluate if it is worth it every year.

I worked in backup software for 22 years until a few years ago. My suggestion is to make a backup and store it for long term on an external drive. The to the cloud full followed incremental backup daily so you can go back to any point along

I don't know if I would remember enough to be able to read an RPG program nor would I recognize RPG III and newer. We did use a third-party app that gave us RPG 2.5 where I worked last doing RPG. I still have 8" floppy disks with

I have an early 2013 15" MBP now running Ubuntu and a late 2013 13" MBP and it is running the latest macOS that is supported on it and Windows 11. I have a new M1 MBP but those other two machines are just slow compared to this. Th

I did RPG II programming on the successor machine the S/36 for a few years. That was available in a micro form not bigger than a PC to mid and full size.

I searched for "dog" and it found dogs including in cartoons but it also tagged photos of myself as a dog as well. Not sure if it's due to the facial hair or some other trait I share with dogs.

I saw a quote from him a few weeks ago where he did say they were overpaid.

He is brilliant. Thinks very highly of himself so I suspect likely also a sociopath. Encryption is one of the things he is known for.

I worked with Paul before he went down the path of the criminal. He seemed really smart too bad he went bad. This would be in 1991 or 1992. I also worked with one of the programmers caught as part of the Madoff 5. I'm hoping that is al

I did the upgrade without issues but when it rebooted the final time it signed me on and automatically started everything I had running before and I didn't even realize it had completed until I checked the OS version in the about. Prob

I love IDA but it is too rich for my blood so I have gone with Binary Ninja. Not perfect but continually evolving.

I started playing with that one the last week. Sadly Kaspersky AV decided it was malware and deleted it without prompting me first.

I got the e-mail to grandfather me in due to my recent purchase of the second gen device. It was a tough sell for many due to price before a subscription may doom it further.

The computer I was using at work in 92 had a whopping 16mb! It was amazing. It might have been a 386 20MHz (before the cache was added to the systems so was very slow compared to a 25Mhz that came out soon afterwards).

It helps that those tapes can be read in the future easily as well. HP at one point asked the company I worked for at the time if they could use their tape copy program with their new drives so that customers could copy older DAT tapes to a

I pay for Jetbrains subscription as well. They offer a bargain compared to many others. There are products I pay 66% of the amount I pay to JB for far less overall functionality. I don't mind subscriptions but I am weary of some of the

There is an amazing plugin for Visual Studio that makes searching blindingly fast almost instantaneous and the price was $10 for the longest time (now $20) and trying to get developers to buy that thing was a chore. They didn't want to
