Not to mention the yearly price breaks for continuing to subscribe to their services. I think I pay less than $15 USD a month for their All Products pack, and it's worth every penny. Much more economical than buying every release of Vi

You're bringing back waves of nostalgia. I used to frequently read AllAPI.net and come up with mischievous implementations for my own amusement. A quick Google Search netted the following project ( https://github.com/mic

It's also crazy how disparate the values of older guitars are as well. I inherited a pristine 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Blue Sparkle; one of 250 made. Despite its rarity, it's not a super high demand guitar, so it barely clears

So to give a bit more insight. We've been back in the office since May of 2020. The vast majority of the office works in close contact, and no mitigation efforts are taken to prevent infection. The vast majority of the office is also u

How rare is it actually though? Just a bit of anecdotal evidence, but my office has had several outbreaks in the last several months. Many in the office have caught it multiple times in the that timeframe, a couple of which I know are fully

Any particular input as to where developers should move their projects? I've had wonderful luck with self-hosted GitLab, but while it meets our organization's purposes, it doesn't seem like it'd be the best general purpo

Alternate data point, I live in one of the major cities in Oklahoma. I work for a mostly blue collar shop. The overwhelming majority of our workers are unvaccinated, and I'd say a large fraction of them are very vocal about their use o

Well I'm obviously in the wrong market then! Down here in Oklahoma, I'm a Senior Software Engineer, and I'm only at $110k, plus around $10k in bonuses a year. There's very few opportunities for salary increases unless I

A couple months back, I read an article on how California's indigenous peoples used to do controlled burns to help prevent wildfires. Apparently it was something California put an end to, despite the indigenous folks' insistence.

You still need to enable the subsystem, but I don't see why most users need it on by default. It seems like an easy enough feature to prompt the user to enable (or enable for them automatically) if your application calls for it.

The problem is that both heart attacks and panic attacks share a variety of symptoms and even just learning about certain symptoms of heart attacks (after our CFO died of one about a year back) has made those symptoms manifest during my pan

We initially tried Metoprolol for, but we found that while it stopped the palpitations, the panic attacks still happened just as often. For me, Lexapro really was a win/win drug. My personality hasn't changed much aside from the f

I was only recently diagnosed with anxiety after spending thousands and thousands on an emergency room visit and visits to a cardiologist, and I work for a healthcare company with free access to GPs! I had a variety of symptoms and none of

Actually, the developer that designed the system was laid off over two years ago, and the database has since been maintained by one of the other managers at the location. Everyone at the company has stated how he was a hard worker, but didn

Any recommendations on the best, I have minor experience with SVN, and I've only used GIT for github related stuff. Everything here is windows based, everything. So I was even considering going with TFS, but I also have been thinking a

Yes, the company I work for is an electrical contracting company, and specifically the branch that I'm working for is based inside a massive data center. So power wise, everything is golden.

They are very set in their ways when it comes to their severs, they wont even implement Active Domain services... So virtualization may be out of the question for now.

I get to sit down with the branch manager sometime soon and go over everything he wants implemented or removed for the next version of the application so that should help. I try to be fairly communicative throughout the day as well.

Luckily I've used the backups to setup my testing environment so I know they're good! Can you recommend anything else I should start doing? Development journals? Version control system?

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying one in the near future, regardless of the battery. I have a full featured Windows 8 laptop (Samsung Chronos 7) for most of my high end uses, and the ability for the Pro to literally double as a Cintaq tablet i
