I’ve wrote my first pre-emptive multitasking OS as a teenager. I also wrote my first compiler back then. I’ve worked on everything from industrial controllers to a Cray YMP. And I’ve forgotten more programming languages than most hacker kids can list. I consider myself as a seasoned programmer.

Not only in code. Documentation for the end user (or at least halfway there, the final document is done by a separate department), is important, too.

There is a reason that my job description is “Embedded Systems Architect”. But I see this ccomplete packet as “programming”.

An OS, a compiler, any complete application. Or at least significant parts of it. And I mean programming from A to Z: defining, detailing, implementing, verifying, documenting.

For me, that is all integrated part of “programming”. You missed the documenting the code part, but i consider this as an oversight.

“Code was never the hard part” is probably made up by someone who never had to program anything serious.

And even from those savings, one will have to subtract the costs for fixing or rebuilding essential services in the future.

Keep an eye on them, and as soon as they start drilling, put the cuffs on them and confiscate the equipment.

Sadly, that meltdown was still not strong enough to give him a stroke.

Funny, because I can still see a lot of slop still on the site.

Unsurprisingly, another Republican sex abuser.

I wonder about the DOGE bill in the long run. Including the costs of rebuilding important infrastructure they destroyed just for fun.

This criminal loser still toots propaganda?

Here, if you report spam calls, they can retrieve the real call origination, and go to the source.

Some years, I reported some scammer calls, and within a week, they shut down the spoofed originating numbers, the advertized chargeable numbers, and confiscated the money the scammers had collected.

If the government wants to fix things, they can do this.

It could be worse. I’ve seen someone buying a big LEGO set for several hundred dollars, and they just slapped an address sticker on the box and sent it off. Not only that the sticker ruined the box, but the postal disservice ruined it even further.

Have you tried laws like civilized countries do? That, like in France, punish companies with up to 375 thousand euro per unsolicited call?

Not at hand, but there were a number of news items about this in the last few weeks.

Transformers and inductors.

Keep in mind that quite a number of those AI based “breakthroughs” in mathematics turned out to be wrong.

The LEDs do not hum. Their power supply does. Usually, it is caused by bad coils. I’d check which one is humming, and just replace it, but this might not be a method recommendable for anyone.

He should get a medal instead.
