Oh yes, I remember that when we swapped out a bunch of terminals at an airline.. The users complained it was all way too slow on the new Windows machines with MS SNA server in between... I was wondering what it was all about, as a young and

I would say these people were in a relationship with the mainframe, if that makes sense. And also having worked at IBM in the past where I sat adjacent to the mainframe support team for Business Services, I totally get it. Mainframes are aw

Not a COBOL developer, but working at a sizeable bank I witnessed the phasing out of their mainframes and AS400 systems. They ran some critical systems, both in retail and wholesale banking. They either converted to java, and optimized that

I have used Thunderbird in the past, but ultimately gave up. I am currently on google for my private email, and for other reasons tied into MS / Office365 anyway for my business so decided after having my business email at my internet

One can hope... There is some precedent in Germany, esp. in Munich with LiMux. No clue how successful that project now really is though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux

Agree, this is deceptive, and highly annoying as consumer too. There must be some consumer protection laws in the EU that can be used against this?

I am also deterred by the never ending shady descriptions and filtering. Too many times, selecting something with two bedrooms, and when you look and read closely, it shows a couch in the living room which is the "second bedroom".

Most definitely, like I also mentioned. Actually at my current gig there is one engineer in the networking who is basically the load bearing wall of the department. Internal, will never even think about going external (or ask for a raise ev

I have heard this so many times indeed, and as a contractor myself, it is so tiresome. Taxes, pensions, insurance, reservations for sitting without a contract, courses etc etc etc. Those "30 Euro p hour" People actually easily cos

This kind of article makes me sad, as why should we live in a world where we (or at least some people) need to even think about this.. maybe I woke up this morning in a foul mood, but honestly, the idea of even having to think about burner

I would think another issue for a lot of existing large VMware customers is NSX (incl. dynamic firewalling), orchestration (vRA/vRO), vROPS, and the gazillion integrations that have been built with tight coupling at both ends. Swapping

I have had plenty fun and made good money writing KiXtart, VBScript, a variety of outdated shells and niche product specific DSLs etc etc. Also had great fun reversing VB6, and remember there was a wonderful VB6 decompiler from Russia with

I would agree typically, but for repositories which have a link to the main website for the product including visual examples like this one... not so much. It's one more click.

Well, thanks! Sometimes GUI makes for easier discovery than a wall of text, even when the docs are good.

Would it be reasonable to say that BMI is a bad measure at an individual level, especially at values close to ideal range but at the same time it is a useful measure at population scale? As stated on the NHS Scotland website: "BMI is u

looking at it, it seems to be geared towards connecting to a database. My needs are to generate a DB like schema image from a custom in memory represntation of tables, columns and relations. Thanks for the tip though, it does seem like a us

Don't have my work laptop at hand, but I'm quite sure that you can manually order regular folders as well as favorites by simple drag and drop. In our current version at least.

Yeah, that's my line of thinking as well. All these isolated metrics on health are only useful to a degree imho.

Also comes across as a relatively useless metric. Even if right, which they likely are as far as I'm concerned, the statement says nothing about how much it deteriorates health (as opposed to improving) and besides that, for most peopl

I tried this but unfortunately you do not gain any vertical space as the tab bar is still in use as window title bar (or whatever the proper names are for this). The vertical tab bar is also fixed width (!) and to top it off, after testing
