There are three types of developers:
- Complete newbies - they need guidance.
- Those who have to deal with this type of coworker (or even student partner)
- Those who ARE that type of coworker

Pfft, etc. Mine is 221dpi (15" MacBook Pro 2016, 2880x1800)
Recently was involved with a display that had <1 DPI
(Roadside display the size of a billboard)

Like any sane person in 2018, I have a gym membership. This is where I go to ride a stationary bike, stair simulator or run on a treadmill. To get to the gym, I drive my car then take the elevator, of course. You want me to walk or climb stairs like a caveman
I had a gym membership for a decade. Did absolutely nothing for my health :( [it was only at the end, that I found out one also needed to go there ;) ]
For me the most annoying was being on the 18th floor (of a 23 story building) where there was no elevator for a while (weeks).
@rhywden said in Software toggles that dont do what they should:
Turn off your devices" rule
I love asking "does that include all portable electronic devices?"
Crew:: "Yes, sir"
Me: "Is there a Doctor, hopefully a cardiologist on board?"
Crew: "What does that have to do with it?"
Me: "He will be needed when I turn my pacemaker off"
Just an observation. For a few years now, I have been involved in Coder Dojo - with kids as young as 5.
Scratch is our typical second level (the first being "An Hour of Code").
Some of the kids are now in their mid-teens and doing some serious programming (we try to stay in touch). Most of them credit the Coder Dojo sessions as being their starting point, and are appreciative of it.

@thecpuwizard Bear with me, English is not my native language. :(
All meant in good fun :) :) Rest assured your English is much better than my flailing attempts to speak/read/write any other (human) language....
The image of a "leveled apartment" (in the sense of the picture above) and an automated vacuum was just too much for me to resist....
@masonwheeler said in Xamarin's contiuing barrel of cross-platform, XML-encoding fut the wuckery:
Nothing is wore than XCode.
I disagree. Having "nothing" is better than having to deal with xCode ! :)
I would say you basically have it covered...but, interpretations vary, and there is an entire industry profiting from filing claims of license violations and then settling (as the cost of defense can be high).
I think long and hard about including GPL (any version), and will go to fairly extreme measures to avoid it, if at all possible.
@loopback0 said in I hate printers, with a passion:
because I'm reliably informed inkjets don't do networking?
I can attest that InkJet printers do a very good job of not-working...... oh, wait a minute.....nevermind.....
@BernieTheBernie said in RabbitMQ WTFs:
hat's perfect Kevin English!
Remember DataEdit? Kevin will tell you that it is "Daten bearbeiten" in German, so "Daten" (="data") comes frist, "bearbeiten" (="edit") comes second. Of course, that's the way English has to work, too!
Depends on what you want to happen when you run various (mental or programmatic) analysis and soft/group the results.... Do you want all of the "data" items to come together, or all of the different "edit" items...
Same as why yyyy-mm-dd is a preferred date format even though it is not used regularly in any human (not computer) language (that I know of)

- insanely long-term mortgages
Hmmm.. for my residences, I have used 15 year mortgages, paid them in full early also.... Now for investment properties it is all about timing the gains, so different equations...
@Zenith said in Am I doing non-UI threading right?:
code too brillant for their microbrains
Decades ago, I had to deal with such a person. Honestly, he was a genius, only person I ever met who could hand write Pentium Assembler and keep track of the pipelines and caches in his head.... but oh so dangerous. My role at the company was to find the smallest possible box that he could be put in where his talents provided value and keep him away from the rest of the code base to protect the teams.
Write code for the reader. If you are willing to hire and pay someone (even at H1B levels) then it is a failure to have code that they can not understand.

The Electron "issue" is that you can't force users to download a new version of the desktop app.
Ahh, but with some initial design you can (or at least can stop the "old" app from functioning.

WPF/MVVM training
Utilized FULLY, WPF is a complete mind/paradigm shift. When the rright people (with the right training) utilize it, the results can be amazing. Alas the ability to totally FuBar it is very high if a person has not adopted the proper approach. (and yes, I did use a singular "The").
@BernieTheBernie said in CodeSOD collection:
MyClass x = MyClass.Create();
This allows for many options that direct "new" does not.

now will you drink it?
That depends, do I have to write the Fortran part and/or the JavaScript part?
The JavaScript. The fortran and apis will be written by ol spectateswamp. In VBasic 6, transferred to fortran by lowest bidder outsourced contractors.
Why not have him just write a FORTRAN77 interpreter in VB6? Think of the savings!
RatFor.NET - For the win!
Ancient, but still funny (though some elements could use a refresh for those under 50)
@boomzilla said in Joinphobia:
Does anyone really use anything other than the dbo schema in SQL Server?
YES.. In fact our DRC [Design Rule Checks] flag any usage of the dbo schema! Schema should be specific to a business case (large scale) so that associated tables, procs, et. al. are grouped in meaningful ways.

@TheCPUWizard said in Force CMake to use release/debug build of a package:
Possibility...
- Create a project you control, have it always reference the release versions of the libraries...
- Have all your other projects reference project just created above
That means duplicating all the library definitions of the original project, I think. And there are, I don't know how many but several tens of libraries in that project, so the is raising its head here... Though I guess that would be a relatively clean way to work around the problem here, so I appreciate the idea.
Thanks
To clarify, I was not really talking about wrapping all of the definitions... More along the line of:
