I'm so lazy that I defer even procrastination.

Too funny. I live in the world of embedded systems where nothing ever dies. Nothing. We've contacted customers before that have no idea our product is running on their production line (until it dies). So, Microsoft had perfectly good support with usenet groups - but well - we need to pull them into Microsoft. Then they modded that to their forums which were okay - but clearly there was a move on to hide data from google (screw you developers and customers). Now they have the catastrophe of learn.microsoft.com where nothing is organized the magical search button and tags (generated by users) will find the data. It's a fluster cluck. Good luck...

It's a good counter-point. A junior full-stack, for me, is a junior that can be effective in all parts of the stack, and takes ownership of the work until it's done. I have one, and every time he doesn't fully grasp something, he asks the most experienced full-stacks within the company on how they would approach the problem, and he openly discusses complex issues with other front-end specialized people. He collaborates effectively. I strongly believe front-end specialists are valuable and needed within every company. I just don't agree that a full-stack team cannot be effective. :)

I was wondering if anyone would point that out. IMO a 1-2 pizza team is me. :^) TTFN - Kent

Elon has lost the benefit of the doubt… I suspect more people will take the severance package than expected.

I say it's a trap (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - It's a Trap !!! - YouTube[^]) Now management *knows* when you aren't paying attention. Worse, I suspect their are backdoors to allow management to cheat. :) 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.

Given the idiocy I've seen surrounding bank cyber security, I'd say it's closer to 100%. - Things like passwords can't be more than x (where x is a single digit) characters. - Requiring you zip and password protect the zip file before you upload it - sounds to me like they're using a non-secure upload back end (FTP over SSH comes to mind). - Requiring you install their software to use their services - this is very common in the business side of the bank. - etc.

I trust you are muting in just one app, not globally. Or set one app's mic volume to zero? Or in one of them, select an input device that doesn't exist? Many ways to skin a cat. ;P Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

Ehem, ehem... Last training I got was more than 5 years ago and was actually non technical... M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In one fell swoop, we still save the email, but we reduce our productivity. Same thing happened at my old job. Between people exporting their PSTs to thunderbird, people using acrobat to dump them to PDFs, people saving off messages as individual files, people copy/pasting to Word or OneNote, and people just burning their PSTs to DVDs and stashing them just in case; I suspect that at least in the short term they've probably made discovery more expensive not less. Longer term, well I'd say turnover would solve the issue but they've been in bunkermode for about a decade and have hired very few new people. Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Data receive events occur when a character arrives at the coms buffer, not when a message is complete. So when you call ReadExisting you will get a string containing all the characters received since the last call - and with modern processors being fast and serial coms being slow (9600 baud means a fastest data transfer rate of 9600 bits per second, which translates to around 960 characters per second at best) the most likely result is that each time it's called you will get one and only ever one character at a time. And since your code overwrites whatever was in the jb_serial_read string each time the event happens, that means that you will never see the complete message. You need to buffer data, spot teh end of data, and feed it back up the chain as a message instead of character by characters.
