Aaaaah, I played with orientation for a little while but I missed "that is not" = "i.e. isn't" so I couldn't get it to fit. Instead, I decided to overthink it.🫤

As I recall, not everyone had access to upload files.

Okay, this seems a bit tenuous, but it's all I could come up with that also fit (somewhat) so here goes... Relative position = near by, or WARM Heartless = "without heart" so "not without heart" = "with heart", or as you might say (in speech) HEARTED. A definition of "not heartless" is WARMHEARTED. It seems a bit overwrought, but there you have it. I feel I'm a bit rusty on these, which is not to say that I ever could have been mistaken as competent.

Use WSL. Download Ubuntu from Microsoft store and you have a pretty decent Linux box. That’s what I do to save me the trouble of having a separate Linux box.

Yeah, Microsoft’s documentation can definitely be confusing at times. Good catch on the difference between &, &&, and ||—a lot of people miss how cmd.exe actually treats return codes. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly!

@OriginalGriff said in "Worst UI" competition.: It's been done: programmers were asked to crete the worst volume control OK, I LOLed at the bicycle pump.

@PIEBALDconsult Box office can refer to both the place where tickets are sold and also the total number of tickets sold. Another term for the latter is the gate.

Yay!! :bobs: back finally!

"Is water free?" "yes" "I'll take a million gallons please".

When I started my career in the mid-90s, I thought I'd try to learn everything there is to know about Windows development. It didn't take too long before I smartened up and realized it's an impossible task as the goalposts keep moving. Today with web development, and multiplatform targets, it's even worse - much worse. My approach these days is, learn what's directly applicable to what you're developing, and don't worry about the rest. But I still burned out. I still love to code, but it's been years since I wrote any hobby type of side-project for myself in my own time that's anything above the scale of "small utility".

@OriginalGriff I too didn't see it. What time of day are we posting them? I'll try to get back into the rhythm of things.

@realJSOP @realJSOP said in Blatant age discrimination: "we don't want to pay a lot for the person that fills this position" Indeed.

@yacCarsten said in More Fun With AI: (apologies to realJSOP for going so far off topic of his OP) No worries dude. :)

I read it this way: "fashinated by Perl ceiling function". I badly need your coffee...

@OriginalGriff Sorry for late reply, just saw this. Will have to try them. If you don't see me on here anymore, my heart probably exploded!

Thanks, I am not alone!

Enterprise AI, after a few prompts, says OFF GO. Actually fun to let AI play against each other.
