SAP is more likely to go the way of the dinosaurs than Cobol.
Which reminds me of this joke:
In 1998, a programmer who had been working on Y2K fixes started to get anxious because he couldn't believe how pervasive the problem was. He switched from company to company trying to get away from it, but everywhere he went he became regarded as the Y2K expert and immediately became the team lead for that company's Y2K contingencies. He finally had a nervous breakdown, quit his job, and decided he wanted to be knocked unconscious when the Y2K actually came about.
A month before Y2K he was put into an artificial coma and cooled down to a near cryogenic easily sustained long term life support.
Unfortunately the life support notification system had a Y2K bug, and no one revived him for 8000 years.
Finally he was found and revived. He woke up, and saw himself surrounded by lots of glass, light, stainless steel, and tall beautiful people in white robes. He asked if he was in Heaven.
They replied, "No, this is Chicago. Actually but it's a lot like Heaven to someone like you."
"Someone like me?"
"You are from the 20th century. Many of the problems that existed in your lifetime have been solved for thousands of years. There is no hunger and no disease. There is no scarcity, or strife between races and creeds."
"What year is it now?"
"Yeah, about that - it's the year 9,998. You see, the year 10,000 is coming up, and we understand you know something called COBOL?"
OO is good for cases where you have use for multiple instances of known items. That is applicable to many solutions but it comes with a cost too. That cost is added overhead caused by inheritance since not every object uses all stuff it inherits, only parts of it - especially when the model is built by many persons that need a very general solution to a problem.
Maintainability is also a problem when you get stuff that's obsoleted - it may be impossible to remove stuff from the parent objects because at least one inherited object still seems to use it. So code rot can be a problem in a system where people don't have full understanding of what was written a decade ago.
Republicans are conservatives so they only care for big established business, never for small business and startups unless they can show a huge profit or impact the trade balance.
Just ad Honorary to the title Dr and you are good. Then it's up to the reader to put values into that - or do their research for why it was a honorary awarded title. Some people just do a heck of a good job without hunting titles and some of them can rightfully get a honorary award.
Of course there are people knot knowing anything of the subject that also get those awards because they have at least promoted the subject, possibly as an actor.
And you can have a doctor title without being involved in health care at all since doctor titles can be for anything. Even cleaning toilets (yes it has happened).
And spaghetti inheritance is especially prevalent in some solutions where there's an unnecessary amount of interfaces declared - so that everything is just declared and accessed through badly documented interface items so you can't figure out how to create new objects when you need them.
Don't get me wrong - interface declarations are good too, but they have to be documented so others can understand how the objects they carry are constructed. The overall system design strategy is also something that has to be well thought out. Too much work put into abstracting away the physical world can create a system that's hard to maintain too. Layers upon layers hiding how stuff really works means that nobody will be able to understand it after a while.
Strong typing with static declarations may seem to be cumbersome to many but the good thing with the strong static typing is that you get slapped already when compiling and not late during execution when an obscure obnoxious condition is fulfilled. Of course unit testing should capture even obscure obnoxious conditions but since not every test is updated when the code is updated then it's easy to miss.
However sometimes lambdas are also useful - but they shall be used with care. There's no golden solution that can capture everything, instead different parts of an application shall be implemented in different ways to get the most effective solution. It will of course mean that developers have to know more than one programming language and paradigm.
When I have problems with outsourced developer not even able to read specifications and get the intent of the specifications written I know that the article is telling the truth - and may even be whitewashing the actual state.
It's more about the body confusing thirst with hunger when the thirst is mild an you are resting. It's common that people get dehydrated easily when they are stationary and have to remember to drink.
So next time you feel hungry - drink a large glass of water.
I got a CAT S60 last time. Only bad thing on that device is the cameras, otherwise it seems to do what it promises. It do have an IR camera, but (un)fortunately the images are quite fuzzy. They are probably intentionally fuzzy to prevent military applications and revealing nudes.

You obviously never tried to develop for Windows Phone. I tried on a 6.1 and it had a kiloton of unimplemented api calls.
Twitter and Facebook wouldn't be a loss to me if they disappeared.
The signs are in place that Turkey is moving to a totalitarian regime. And they have come pretty far in that movement.
That was probably true in the 60's and 70's but since then things have become extremely polarized.

They are specialists in traffic routing and traffic shaping.
What the traffic consists of is a different matter.
Which in most parts of the world means that you are an Engineer.
As soon as you get a degree for engineering then you are an engineer in the perspective of most jurisdictions (common outside the US).
It's only if you claim "Licensed Engineer" while not having the title that there is a problem.

None of them have coverage where I live.
He's not truly dead until he's forgotten.

Been there with the ASR33, but on an Alpha LSI with core memory.
And it was Basic on that monster.
ZX80 Basic for me, followed by ABC80 Basic then some Forth and Assembly followed by Pascal on a MicroVAX II.
Cobol FTW!
Skype for business isn't Skype anyway, it's just the name they grabbed. On the backside it's still the crappy Lync.
And we are using it where I work, I'm not sure how Microsoft will handle enterprise solutions when it comes to this strategy.
Also - putting all your docs online is a risk - it means that M$ can read all your documents and get access to all your business strategies.

I don't even have Netflix and neither any of the listed apps.
Good to get a list of apps to not install though.

You spelled psychopath wrong.
