Modern televisions have made me wish they were just dumb (as possible) monitors with no software interface. Just select the input, power, volume, brightness etc those things no Roku or other smarts.
My father's uncle kept moving the fence between our property and his so he could drive to the back of his own property. This was an ongoing thing. I think eventually my father just gave up and let him have the strip. Now neither property is in the hands of family and no one will know unless a survey is done in the future.
Before you speak to the judge you speak to the prosecutor who can decide to add to the base fine of $173 + $25 court fee even if you don't go to court and it is at their discretion to increase the fine. A prosecutor involved for a speeding ticket no matter if you are going 5 over or 15 over is insane.
Yeah and knowing the programmer personally at the time I have no reason to believe he would not have known what he was helping to facilitate. Eventually the two programmers asked for their pay to be in diamonds like they were working for a James Bond villain and that is not how you do if you are ignorant of what they were doing.
I learned a few years ago that I actually worked closely with one of the two programmers who worked with Madoff and was part of the "Madoff Five" the year before he started with Madoff. I feel the judge went too easy on the programmers involved as there is no way they did not understand what they were helping to orchestrate. I also worked closely with another programmer a couple of years later who wound up being a drug kingpin. I hope that it ended with those two!
I feel like I'm living the dream currently. I have AT&T fiber with gigabit up and down that runs through my backyard and Google Fiber with gigabit up and down running along the street in front of my house. But many other homes even in my neighborhood have neither and that is not right.
People can justify all kinds of things if they are making money. I knew one of the programmers who was caught up in the Madoff Ponzi scheme. He went along with it for a long time and enriched himself. He had to have known what was going on.
I had an issue like this with Power Automate Desktop yesterday and today. It was trying to retrieve my automation script from their servers I'm sure and there was no response.
After a study with the same findings came out the school district my son was in changed it's start time. To an earlier start time. This is in Texas so not surprising.
strcpy is a coding challenge where I work for interviews. I typically ask them to write it as the standard version and ask them why they might not want to use it to see if they are aware of the risks. After that I ask them to modify the code to be buffer safe. And for those claiming C++ knowledge ask them to make it work for wchar_t as well to see if they can write a template. Some people really struggle with this.
I thought that one of those book covers looked familiar so I went over to my vintage computer books shelf and found the "more" edition. I think it's a 10th printing and in nearly perfect condition. Not sure I could handle typing in all of that code from the book like I did back in the 80's due to aging eyes but the book is very nostalgic for me.
It will make you want the cancel process to be just as easy as the subscription. Instead you have to chat with a person who will try to retain you as a customer.
I used to have a, I believe, three processor Alpha computer when I worked at Microsoft. I had a MIPs, PPC and X86 based computers as well and all were top end and the Alpha always seemed to outpace them all. I was sad when it was discontinued.
It's quite different to switch between tasks when one task doesn't need your attention for a moment but quite another to switch in the middle of the tasks.
I think part of the appeal of the retro computers is learning to work within their limitations from memory, sound capability, etc. Sometimes having boundaries can fuel ingenuity.
The only downside to this approach is that you have to use a modern computer to do anything with that retro like hardware. Not that that is a horrible thing but it's another layer.
Some of the benefits of retro computing is learning how computers work on a lower level than you might with a modern computer. While modern computers are far more complex than any retro and there isn't a one-to-one analog for how they work the fundamentals are there. I learned starting in the 8-bit era and advanced as computers advanced. Also a great impetus to learn how to write small optimized code to work within the limitations of the platform.
My wife and I were out driving looking at Christmas lights a few weeks ago and I tried to reverse the car with no other cars around but the car did an emergency stop because the lights confused the system into thinking someone was behind me or going to cross behind me. Automatic can be good but also too easily fooled.
I'm happy to lead as long as I also am allowed to work on the code itself from design to actually writing code. I have been doing this full time for 35 years and I would be miserable had I switch to a pure management role at any point including now. Meetings kill motivation for me.
I priced Amazon's prescription drug service and it estimated I would be paying my co-pay on each of the drugs. Sounds good if you usually go to CVS but at Walmart I get the four prescriptions I get for $26-30.
I have used it to graph large python projects and c++ projects. It is great for visualizing the classes and relationship of classes and functions along with references to all the program elements.
The hardest part for me has been setting up the list of files and folders to scan for the project and trying to eliminate errors. Fortunately you still get useful data depending on the errors.
