Well, the corporation has drunk the kool-aid and gone full in MS. Which is fine, but I should have just emailed it. Instead, I dragged the file to Teams and off it went. So the boss made his edits, and was waiting on me to complete the doc. I had no idea I SHARED the file. I have three computers and a dozen VMs. I actually do not know where the file is.... The last time I sent a file through messenger, it was just a copy, not a live doc. I guess it makes sense sort of... but it would have been nice to know Charlie Gilley “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759 Has never been more appropriate.

Thanks. I don't think I want to change old code for the sake of change. I just want to make it possible to steer the team towards better/modern coding practice. Especially for new code or code that needs maintenance. CI/CD = Continuous Impediment/Continuous Despair

I wish them luck. I am still fighting my Homeowners Insurance company from Hurricane IDA 2+years later. :sigh: There is NO way to prepare for a Hurricane. Take it from me I have lived through many hurricanes in New Orleans. Blown Away...

Primitives are what "comes before". And it depends on your model. If you want to "generate constellations", then you need stars. "Generative AI" is where you tell it to write stuff; or draw stuff. You need to find your stuff. "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen.

Normally, these mysteries boil down to… I turned off the autobuild setting!

right, so google, ms search etc all put their crap in there... just signaling, does nothing useful.

I would suggest having a look at the built-in functions of the compilers that feature an overflow check. According to this post most recent compilers (GCC, Clang, Intel, MSVC) provide them. Documentation: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Integer-Overflow-Builtins.html bool __builtin_add_overflow (type1 a, type2 b, type3 *res) bool __builtin_sub_overflow (type1 a, type2 b, type3 *res) bool __builtin_mul_overflow (type1 a, type2 b, type3 *res) bool __builtin_add_overflow_p (type1 a, type2 b, type3 c) bool __builtin_sub_overflow_p (type1 a, type2 b, type3 c) bool __builtin_mul_overflow_p (type1 a, type2 b, type3 c)

The year is 1999, a COBOL programmer, tired of all the extra work and chaos caused by the impending Y2K bug, decides to have himself cryogenically frozen for a year so he can skip all of it. He gets himself frozen, and eventually is woken up when several scientists open his cryo-pod. "Did I sleep through Y2K? Is it the year 2000?", he asks. The scientists nervously look at each other. Finally, one of them says "Actually, it's the year 9999. We hear you know COBOL."
