muds were the only way we could get games on the university network back in the 90s
the mud of choice back then was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GodWars
It may be work sometime in the future, but having to prefix every query with a null check sounds bonkers.
A view can be optimised to do all that for you.
I made the what the flip expression reading that they did a prefix on everything.
SAFe seems to be a pyramid scheme to get you to pay for the latest SAFe badge
its overly complex and seems to be there to make management feel better about itself
0-day ... what they mean is .... I found an issue. Its hardly a 0-day, they've not posted any evidence of it actually being used in the wild, just that "it can be used".
Why is a normal "ooh look a bug or two" all of a sudden hair on fire world is burning news.... oh yeh ... I get more attention this way by exaggerating
Apple may have a terrible bug bounty and response process ... but call a spade a spade
... I saw a bird this morning ... help theres dinosaurs on the loose!!!!
we have this thrust on us ...
we get pull requests for point release updates but it misses entire versions
it decides that packages that have legitimately been forked by a manufacturer should be replaced by the original package because it has a version bump
generally it been a pain in the backside
My house is on land that’s on a 999 year lease since 1870(ish) from the county that moved boundaries 40 years ago...and we have no idea who the the lease holder is... so that’s fairly perpetual
I used to work for a large US corp that called us all professional developers, just so they don’t have to pay overtime... professional grades don’t get overtime
I'm not sure you got the entire impression of what was going on in the early 90's and late 80's then. There was a massive scene in the Amiga and Atari ST market.... over here we also had the Spectrum and Amstrad things in the mid 80's with the BBC Micro too.
The cheap home computer era only really came to a crashing halt once Windows 95 got bedded in.
In 95 I'd just started Uni and there was still a large user base on the Amiga and Atari ST.
I've intentionally not mentioned Apple here... as they have never been called cheap....
Yeh $1500 computers.... you where looking at the wrong thing.
Everyone else was looking at the not Microsoft market... commadore, Atari etc. I bought my first computer with Christmas money when I was about 10 for under £100 in the mid 80's.
The whole girls weren't into computers is looking at the bubble from the inside and not looking at why there's a bubble.
Parents in the 70's tended to point the boys at building and engineering toys and the girls at dolls etc. Those children followed on in the same fashion. That's left us in the gender bias we have now.
As for ethnic groups... that's complicated and depends on local demographic, plus imigant families tend not to be overflow in spare cash....
i was going to post a comment along the lines of... and once again everyone has to have perfect colour vision....
what is it with these "experts" that think the way they see things is correct?
ever met someone with less than perfect vision... ever heard of someone with less than perfect vision?!?!
this is why you have high contrast modes on your operating system, and colour blind mode in some games (not enough of this)
not sure ... was it the time I deleted the table space containing the unbanked transactions for a local council which was about £1 million (I did a very hasty recovery) or when i accidentally deleted the table space of the last 3 years data for another council ... which took 3 weeks to recover ... or when I setup an ISDN modem to dial the wrong number every 30 seconds for 6 months costing £10k after discount (the bill snapped the table legs when it was dropped) .....
If you find a feature nobody has used for the last 6 months... and its to do with some long term calculations... probably safe to say they use it annually.
We have the end of year reports that generally kill the database when people try to run 5 years worth of data through them every christmas... they never touch them during the normal working year though.
i work for a large US corporation, and also did in my last job (i'm in the UK) .... it seems to be a general thing to forget the US is not the only place people live in the world ... the majority of memo's we get spammed with are US centric and only applicable there. It seems to be a mind set in general thats pervasive in the staes.
I've found that those in charge also have a budget to run you on... how do they justify you spending x hours updating code to do exactly 0 as far as anyone is concerned? ..plus all the regression testing?
They just don't... it gets left as it is
