Ouch. Should I have seen this coming? AppCenter is heavily integrated in our business' lifecycle. Our budget for 2024 needs to be readjusted

I have a strong suspicion this isn't limited to Baltimore. Not sure what they expected when they show officers they can get away with just about anything with little more than a slap on the wrist.

Thanks. This was the kind of answer I feared

I don't think the customers need or want to modify the software. Just open it up for hardware replacements

I'd like to see some concrete examples as well. What kind of repairs are you unable to do?

And what kind of repairs are that? As a software developer I don't understand what equipment is failure needs software change. Software don't wear and tear. Hardware does.

None of them have made a lot of money, but one is still generating a small amount. Guess which. Hint: Income is not proportional with the shinyness of the technology stack

I guess what annoyed me was that after thebeardedone said he'd googled for 15 minutes trying to figure out the difference between VS Code and VS, 4 answers to his post gave absolutely no clarification as to what the differences were, including yours. If you look up the definition of an IDE on Wikipedia, VS Code falls into that category.

>Obviously VS Code is not an IDE (as VS is)

OBVIOUSLY? :D VS Code starts looking more and more like an IDE to me :-) Still looking forward to hear what people define as an IDE!

Thank you for your detailed response by the way, not picking on your post, just curious what everybody finds so "unIDEish" about VS Code.

Do YOU know the difference? Would it hurt to be more concrete? I'm going to venture a guess based on my assumptions, which are probably wrong, but then we can at least start a discussion:

-VS Code doesn't support solution-wide refactoring like renaming classes or moving a method from one class to another

-VS Code doesn't support runtime debugging (breakpoints)

-VS Code doesn't have a visual editor

-VS Code doesn't have memory or performance profiling tools

-VS Code doesn't have source control integration

-VS Code doesn't have an integrated build tool (MSBuild)

-VS Code doesn't have NPM or Nuget integration

This comment thread is worth much more than the actual article

They do? Huh.. Think I still have a crossover cable lying in my drawer "just in case"

The concept of selling to the highest bidder isn't popular in NYC?

mhm

Does he elaborate on what kind of noxious chemicals, and how that explains why allergy has been on the rise in the 20th century? (I skimmed the article but couldn't find it)

Just an anectdote: I've made several apps for Android and Windows phone, but the only place I've made money is on Windows Desktop (an outlook plugin of all things). People seems to be more accustomed to having to pay real money for software on desktop. Don't even think about the donation route

.. Or sending the action "deal 1000 damage" when the maximum damage any weapon can do is 5

>Computer systems are designed to be figured out from their manuals or APIs.

Lol. If only every API was designed and documented well.

Haha so true. And then the mix of chronology just to mix things up...

"But Jean-Denis didn't always live a comfortable life in the suburbs. The first seven years of his life he grew up with his grandparents in Transylvania. The potato crop wasn't always good, and the long winters taught him about patience. A trait he's been needing in the search for the MH370."

I have also upvoted in case you wanted to upvote yourself. How's the balance now?

Why doesn't vlc work?

I'm sorry that would break my employers computer policy on copyrights

(nah not really.403 here as well)

...what do they do?

Interesting. How does this scale? Any idea on how the clients world perform with say, 10000 users logged in?

How does it affect built time and the feedback cycle?

This. It's not like being on Facebook is a UN-sanctioned human right.

Funny how everybody is "excited", "delighted" and "ecstatic" about being acquired by a mega corporate.

Fucked, fucked, fucked, fucked, fucked, not quite fucked aaand not yet fucked

>Honestly those commits should probably be split anyway. A commit should represent the smallest 'change' which is singificant.

Which again may result in that refactoring never getting done. Many times I've found myself saying to myself "I must refactor this class.. But I'll just finish implementing this feature first so that I can get a clean commit with only the refactoring afterwards". Suddenly it's 5 o'clock and tomorrow I've forgotten about the refactoring need.

What powers it? Google? Or are they doing their own indexing?
