This is exactly the same situation that web developers faced with Internet Explorer 5 and 6, and it sucked for end users!

What kind of grants?

This simulation looks like it assumes that your investments stop growth upon retirement, as if you'd move them all to cash. Makes it seem like your savings won't last as long.

I like to use https://tld-list.com/ for registrar shopping. It has a lot of data on costs and features for many registrars.

What a corrupt way to view the world.

You expect a 22 year old to know this? How was Mitchell supposed to have discovered this?

The video is not private or deleted. Isn't this it?

We could have implemented less painful solutions 30, 20, or even 10 years ago, but we didn't, so now we only have drastic options remaining. Time is precious and immediate action is needed, even if we don't agree on the best solution. All options should be attempted.

Power metal? Check out Unleash the Archers. Excellent band.

"Lars Knoll is The Qt Company CTO and Qt Project Chief Maintainer. He has been working on Qt for more than 13 years starting as a software engineer to later leading the global Qt engineering team in Nokia before the Digia acquisition in October 2012."

There is no scientific, consistent way to define race. The groups we put people into is fairly arbitrary. They don't correlate to appearance, genetics, country of origin, etc.

An interesting question in the U.S. is "who is considered white?" There was a Supreme Court case in which someone who was literally from the Caucasus was ruled not white. This is why it's sociological, not scientific.

What is your budget?

Emoji support is currently the top requested feature for Windows Terminal.

His blog seems to be excluded from archive.org, but I have found archived copies elsewhere. I don't want to link directly but you can find it with a little searching for his "Evolution for Windows" blog post from 2005.

> We don't even have nearly enough hardware to give every engineer access.

This is the problem I always run into too. An emulator should be standard on any system development program that has software interacting with hardware.

TikTok sorts you according to it's interests, not your own. Just because they notice that you are more engaged with irritating content doesn't mean you like irritating content.

Python-centric forums, like r/Python:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/

I think the RealPython site is excellent for learning, even for mid to advanced users:

https://realpython.com/

They also have a great podcast:

Also just browsing the Python docs and release notes.

Teams has worked great for me. It's comparably fast to Slack. Calls and screen sharing work perfectly. I am not sure what is different about my situation versus the other users here. I use the native app on Windows, and my org currently has channels and most integrations disabled (Outlook, OneDrive).

This is a great article. Many good thoughts on subtle design decisions that I think anyone writing Python should ponder from time to time.

Ah, it's interesting to see how it has changed over time! Thanks for doing some digging.

The cited BLS distinguishes between "Software Developers" and "Computer Programmers". It says Software Developer employment will increase by 22% over the next 10 years, while Computer Programmers will decline by 9%.

I have always been a bit perplexed by the distinction. What are examples of "Computer Programmer" jobs in the US? Why would you want two distinct classes of "software creators"?

The term "SME" is common in engineering. It is equivalent to "domain expert".

By the time you are specifying things in such unambiguous detail you should be writing code and iterating.

The current revision, V3, was published in 2013.

I currently maintain an app that uses wxPython and it still feels dated and clumsy. Everything is named poorly, the documentation has large gaps, and there are numerous pitfalls and gotchas. I am in the process of moving to PySide and will not be considering wxWidgets for any future projects.

I've loved computers my entire life. You don't suddenly become a different person when you enter a new decade. You do start to recognize how young (30minus) software engineers don't have perspective.

Didn't say that. It's not clear to me what happened, could be a number of things. Probably coincidence.

Just felt like I had the same experience as the person on Reddit. Went to buy an unregistered domain, and it got registered by someone else immediately after I searched for it.

I just tried to buy wow.quest 2 minutes ago and it feels like the same thing just happened to me. Between me searching and checking out it got registered:

  Registrar URL: https://namecheap.com
  Updated Date: 2021-03-03T14:30:25.0Z
  Creation Date: 2021-03-03T14:30:20.0Z
  Registry Expiry Date: 2022-03-03T23:59:59.0Z

Namecheap gave me a "Oops, looks like the domain was taken by someone else, so we removed the domain from your cart."

I'm from the U.S. and the phrases "potter around" and "potter in the garden" are new to me. I have always used "putter".

My pronunciation of putter is "puh-ter" (same sound as under) and potter is "pah-ter" (same sound as father).

Wow, this blows my mind. I have been working on manufacturing test software which is essentially this.

And it is made by Ball! The company that makes the glass canning jars! Who knew they had an aerospace division...
