WinCE (lol) had a feature that would let you change the ringer for unknown numbers.

I could tell instantly, without picking up the phone, if I knew that person.

Wish my current phone had that.

Yeah, Eric is wrong about this.

His argument boils down to, "If we let chefs have any knife they wanted, they'd choose the ones that cut most efficiently and proceed to cut themselves! We can't have that, now can we?"

In practice, it wasn't a huge problem, but there were times when getting around it was just a waste of my time.

This is a supremely good point that we (devs) normally fail to grasp-- you think the CFO gets talked to like that? The answer is no-- at the places I've been.

Ok- I'll tell you what.

In compromise toward the middle-ground, I'll only eliminate art that I don't value.

With some simple common-sense, I think we can really fix the art world.

My subjective, but firmly-held opinions, naturally.

> then take it down.

Love this idea!

But I get to decide what's permitted and what's not.

We're going to start with art that I don't understand, then off to literature that I don't care for, when all of that filth is cleaned out, it's on to expressions of thought that everyone intuitively knows are wrong, then we progress to purge politics of incompatible policy and incorrect voting patterns.

Ok?

I thought the book was pretty good- might just be me.

Is there a paid campaign to get this message out? How many times have we come across is in the last few days?

It was the first phone I'd bought in 7 years that didn't let you add your own ringtones.

That's how far behind it was.

I didn't get copy/paste for about a year. It's like you guys were -trying- to cargo-cult the iphone.

Unfortunately, Belfiore returned after his leave of absence.

God help you.

It's just the biggest issue he can virtue-signal on at the moment.

the article is just as incoherent.

Bot, I suppose.

Flag it.

My best guess has been changes they've made to slow down scrolling on ipads and similar.

My follow-on guess is that management figures you're scrolling past the adds too quickly.

Shock and amazement.

At this point, they're not pursuing IOT or anything similar and will have a very hard time trying to do so in the future given their behavior.

I'm sure the entire effort was losing money, but with their revenues, it's hard to believe it was significant.

I sure did waste a ton of time working with the Edison...

No, it died when MS decided to hobble its API in their thirst to get anything out the door.

3 months after release, it still didn't have major UI components released to devs.

A year later, they still didn't have it worked out with the phone companies to do OS updates.

A year later, and I _still_ couldn't add my own ringtones.

This was 2010. The last phone that I had that couldn't do totally custom ringtones was 2003.

Can you point us in the right direction on this? The wiki doesn't make it clear how it would be used for measuring soil moisture.

You'll recall that this guy was responsible for Windows 8...

No, it's not.

Also- wrt SQL Server ignore anything they say about GUID's as indexes. Just don't cluster them.

Also- enjoy the benefit of not having to ever ask the DB what the pk of those records you want to insert is going to be.

"Thank you for for self-identifying. Good day."

That would have been my response.

What's-her-face was good in both... (jeanne tripplehorn)[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000675/?ref_=tt_cl_t12]

Does the article never give us the actual frequency? Just vaguely 5.08?

Maybe I missed it?

Tells you how dead TFS is.

>HR is driven by data.

This is not my experience.

Maybe you've worked with better companies than I have.

what's your answer?

aren't there much more efficient ways of doing this?

You're also limited to just the species it can reproduce in- don't you want to clear smaller species too?

The games got me into coding- I had to know how it all worked.

Without games, there wouldn't have been any point to dig deeper than word processing.

The WWF is the NRA of environmental groups...

VS is probably the only reason that WPF is being touched at all.

Eventually, they'll say that VS is dead and VSCode is the new VS, then we'll be off WPF and win32 ties, it'll also put to bed the "Why is VS not 64bit yet?" line of inquiry.

Ended up dropping it in favor of the rPi-- the primary reason was that the sdcard (I was using the arduino-compat board) just randomly sets the filesystem to readonly anywhere from minutes after boot to days.

It's also expensive relative to the rpi3 when wifi's built-in. The community is alright, intel's responsive but it's not similar in any fashion wrt size and established articles on how to get stuff to work. Their flash update program also rarely ever worked for me.

Yes, but that's similar to worrying about running out of whales in the second half of the 1800's.

For fuck sake- you want to code on the backend, code on the backend.

Write good code, hit the deadline, deploy.

Couldn't care less what you look like, how you were born, etc.

These articles serve only to gratify people who enjoy inequality horror stories.
