I was a student in 1988. In my first year I was given the option to do my own project and I volunteered to write a spreadsheet, in DOS, (windows did not exist then) in text mode, in C. Because I wanted to. it was my idea. Because I always wanted to write a spreadsheet. Nice program too, it has the same key commands as Joe/Wordperfect. Still use it occasionally.
A nuclear armed 3D printed drone with Anthrax spore coated plutonium blades that connects to the IoT, has iPhone connectivity with an app that hacks Tesla cars and then holds the car hostage until a ransom is paid in bitcoins and, using Stringray, sends the car's phone metadata to the NSA
In that case./ will go gaga about the involvement of the NSA and forget the rest.
Switzerland certainly has nothing of the kind. The are planning on voting on something like a BI next year, but for sure no-one get money rained onto them at the moment. Why, they want to I would not know. I get there a lot (live a few km from the border, wife works there) and considering the cost of living the normal income is pretty high.
My GF had a religious freak friend who insisted on giving me some religious tract.. The next time she saw me and asked me what I thought I told her "it warmed my heart". I was not lying. Thing is, my house was warmed with a fire, and I needed something to light the, em, fire.
And before you accuse me of bible-burning, it was some stupid 20-page religious pamphlet of some sect, not a bible.
I once did something similar. I had a screen on a web app which had a form. On the next screen the Delete button was at the same place the submit button on the form.
The nice lady user had a habit of DOUBLE clicking for some reason. Which means she submitted the form and then deleted the record directly in the next step because the second click went to the delete button.
Took us a bit to figure out why the docs were deleted.
I also see the multiple tab open thing on a old iPad 3, but I have to ask myself, what the hell do they need 1 GIGA byte of RAM to cache a webpage for???!!
I once did a sysadmin job for a, em, gentlemen's club. It was a script controlling an emergency button that wiped out the entire server if the cops arrive.
The last non-profit I worked for was a corrupt, badly run political horror. I left because I caught the boss committing tax fraud. She then gave me a bad review.
I mentioned to the board that I am a bit unhappy that I was penalised by the CEO considering that she is committing fraud. The board member asked me "she is committing WHAT??".
CEO lost her job. I still have a bad reference though.
That said, I sometimes do contracting for the new CEO and it IS a pleasant place to work, yes.
Tech workers are whiny bitches who think they know more than other people but have never left the mom's basement to actually see what other people do. I have of thos sitting right next to me, but he smells so bad I am not in the office that often.
I seriously hate it when my friends send a mail to me with some other people and my email address is not hand-delivered to the virus and spam-harvester infested horrors of my other friends. If ALL emails only went out by BCC this would not happen.
Mail server maintainers such as Postfix/Exim and such should band together and simply phase out CC and start treating the CC header as a BCC header. And then should begin rejecting mails with a CC with multiple email addresses in it outright. This would solve half of the world's spam problems in a few years too.
Adobe also uses it a lot. Their image processing engine code is written in C/C++/ASM but the UI code in Lua. As far as I understand most of Lightroom is written in Lua

Excel actually included a run-time version of windows at the time.
Me. I love spreadsheets.

I like databases too.
Look, "this is news for nerds", not "hangout for freaks".
Go back where you came from!
So you think that firing guns in a crowded football stadium at a very hard to hit flying object is going to IMPROVE public safety?
Nor is it going to testify before the house of Lords.
If you are still dating her she must have some other attributes. Does she fly with a remote control too?

Wow. Ever consider a career as a novelist?

Where do you get such a cheap etch-a-sketch?? My daughter's birthday is coming up!

I got my Nexus into that state :( After juggling and pressing some stuff it worked again, but that did freak my out a bit
Sigh. 3 weeks ago I left my iPad 3 on the roof of my wife's car and lost it. I miss it :( Was a nice tablet, actually.

I don't want to work all day but the bank says pay, pay, pay
I live in Germany and I can ensure you that the people I work for do not value Software Engineers.

CC is a horrible trap, BCC is not
She/He is an idiot because she/he used CC instead of BCC. Something that riles me in general.
Take out CC: in mails and only allow BCC:

I love maps. I want to actually see all of it
