I currently have 2.
One is my own personal account.
One is my 'work' account for projects with my current company. As I'm leaving there, there's a possibility I will need to start a new one for work with my new company.
I also have 3 Visual Studio accounts, one for this job, one for my previous job (each had it's own MSDN sub), and my personal one. Possibly I had another one that was linked to my student ID or is dreamspark separate?
I said the same thing last week when something in another article was described as the size of a 'baby aspirin'. What the fuck is that and how big is it??
In my mind, a dustbin is a small bin you might sweep into. A medium sized one wouldn't be very big. Maybe they are talking about a dumpster??
Good, I can't wait to spend my days fixing code written by a script instead of by a contractor who barely even speaks English let alone whatever language they are supposed to be programming in. It's sad when they are getting paid more than me.
Am I the only one who has never heard of IoT?? Is that really a real thing? I gotta spend more time on the twitter or something to learn the cool stuff.
Not just rights, this is just more misogynistic basement-nerds taking jobs away from women!
How so? A booth can still hire promo girls, they just need to dress them appropriately.
I used to do promo work back in my student days, we did heaps of jobs wearing hoodies and caps rather than short shorts and halter tops. You can still get peoples attention / hand out the fliers or whatever. I did do one job that required shorts but it was on the beach, so fair enough. Pay wasn't bad actually!!!
Stand up for your rights, people... and the rights of your children. Once you give fingerprint or DNA data to the government (or big business), it will NEVER be erased or restricted
Don't go to Japan then, they take your fingerprints on entry (started in around 2007).
Right, currently, in Australia, there are automated border gates, just like the ones in the UK and the US. I personally object to them because I do not wish to donate a dozen "perfect" photographs each year (I travel regularly) to the government's facial recognition training database.
Just look down when they take the picture, it will spit your card back out and tell you to go to the desk. This has happened to me several times by accident because I get bored and look away before it has finished.
This proposal is to extend the scheme to domestic travel (Canberra has no regular scheduled international flights)
Un-true! There are now 8 flights a week, 4 to Wellington and 4 to Singapore. Hardly a major hub, but they are regularly scheduled.
Agreed.
I did the trial, then unsubscribed. Apparently it's ok if you like documentaries.
Now I'm in Australia we have 39 of the movies on the list, one behind Canada. Our Netflix still sucks though with 1/6 the titles the US gets. Plus our internet...
But how about first fixing the proxy server thing so when I'm using it at work I stop getting those annoying pop-ups telling me that auto update can't get through the proxy server. Either add a setting to turn off auto update or make it actually work, I'd be cool with either. Opera mini / mobile also can't handle wifi connections that require a redirect to browser signing, making them pretty much useless. Maybe I should just make my own browser. With blackjack, and hookers.
I want to write an algorithm that uses data from wearable fitness bands with heart rate monitors to identify people who masturbate at home. Maybe the University of Rochester will fund my research.
No on wants to pay us enough to do things properly.
No one wants to keep a bunch of developers around on a long term permanent basis, in case the work slows down. Better to get them on three months contracts, use them for the project's major development phase, then get rid of them. Just get more for the next project. The short termer's don't give a shit what kind of code they write, because they won't be there to maintain it, and they'll have another contract after this one. Then they'll write more garbage code, collect the bucks and move on.
Yet no one is keen on the idea of having a permanent, well trained team who are invested in the quality of the product, even though it probably would be cheaper in the long run. But most projects run on a 'money now' basis.
Then there's the look from the project manager you'll get if you say at stand up, "yesterday I re-wrote a bunch of existing code." They need to understand that's not a waste of time.
Workplaces use the web pages I work on. Most are VERY behind with the upgrading and don't allow users to install other browsers. We just upgraded from 8 to 11 at my workplace about 18 months ago. It was a big deal and took about 6 months of planning. Luckily as a developer I can install wherever I want on my own machine! (Though am not allowed on the main network outside of a remote connection....)
As an Australian who lived in Canada for a year I was initially excited to see better game prices, then realised I couldn't actually BUY anything with my AU credit card. So couldn't shop in AU store because it knew I was in Canada, but couldn't shop in CA store because it knew I was Australian. ARRGHH!!!
In the end I changed my address to Canada and got a pre paid credit card. Just to play The Old Rebuplic when it first came out, and it's free now... (well that was on Origin, but same thing happened on Steam).

Then I looked at the actual code. Wow! It's like a developers worst nightmare. I kind of love it.
I also have 3 Visual Studio accounts, one for this job, one for my previous job (each had it's own MSDN sub), and my personal one. Possibly I had another one that was linked to my student ID or is dreamspark separate?
So I could count as 6 developers?
Er, Community didn't exist prior to late 2014... People have been learning C++ a lot longer than that.
If you are willing to consume a McNugget, you should be happy to eat actual meat, not matter how it's produced!
Wait, are you saying an Adam Sandler movie LIED to me?
In my mind, a dustbin is a small bin you might sweep into. A medium sized one wouldn't be very big. Maybe they are talking about a dumpster??
Perhaps they should finish the Azure back-end and maybe even fix some of the bugs in Visual Studio too!

I'm just going to go home...

I'm very confused as the popular opinion is that NV is awesome, and much better than 3. I like them all, personally!
Better beer yes, but the wine is truly terrible (and overpriced) ;)
If the healthcare is 'free' then why were BC Health charging me 50 bucks a month for it?
I read the link and I still have no idea what a 'Bot Store' is. I wrote an IRC chat bot 15 years ago, can I sell it?

identity bare boobs from high altitudes.
This is probably why they need to be unmanned...
Our 'Rockstar' left, and I'm still trying to reverse engineer some of his methods almost year later, to uncover their magic. Lesson learned.

Win 10 and Edge at work? Hmmm.... maybe by 2020?
