'the imperative goto == the object oriented if', both have their uses and allow misuse. The degree of misuse is telling ...

Can't say much but will be going 'there' to try and fix it. It is not the people 'there' themselves that are to blame, they can do it and are of good intent.

Forgive me saying so but having been around for 30 years I have noticed inflation here on CP (quality of articles deteriorated with exceptions) and battle on SO for getting points. I used to contribute heavily to Experts Exchange in the past and learned a lot helping other people there. I do see a pyramid with a few experienced and knowledgeable individuals at the top and a bulk of wannabees under that. Once again, forgive me saying so.

No BSOD yet after upping to 10 but there are some nasty quirks here like the start button or task bar becoming disabled after some time and video stalling or losing sound after some time. Hoping it will get fixed.

Indeed, dropped it for being almost a complete waste of time.

similar crap experience here with windows 10, it is a shame, a bloody shame, considering reverting it all and stick with that what worked properly

I second the article, did very well on experts exchange 'in the old days' until amongst other reasons it closed itself in a way. I see wannebees that are hunting points inflating the qualtity of it all, and that is not just on stack overflow unfortunately. Too bad.

Generalists for sure, with the ability to specialize in whatever, that's the ticket :)

if from the hard copy variant then yes, otherwise no way

Without going over other comments, we use it in a best of its class type of product so yes, it is good :)

roflmao!

Those I did not refer to, it is the amount of articles that are shallow and coming from, well, let's leave that aside, and are not really worth the read, regards

I second that, seems like an advertising board a lot of times when looking at posted articles. Luckily there still is quality content as well.

Thanks for the link! Used it to check my banks, all ok as far as that link can tell.

sure, we went through the first two already so it must be the third one coming up ...

we do and without them we would not exist so as for us they are still an important assett

I can't write a book here and there is no single answer. The invariant in all cases is having a group of people that are all different and have different additions to the team. So who are they, what do they want, what are their abilities and what are they willing to commit to the common thing. And then you, having a feel for all of that trying to enable and combine them into a smoothly working team moving forward. I do so in a cooperative way but I do lead.

Stopped that long ago without problems, it is just a matter of being savvy enough to not do things that would harm my machine.

Server-side rendering versus client-side rendering, which is better and why?

You do not want to block indiscriminately but you will want to be the one that controls what does and what does not get thruogh (this isn't fred). Too often you wonder 'how can I get rid of this?' only to find there is no easy way. Then they think 'if we make it too easy they will turn off everything' and so they make it hard. Crying foul play when there is some successful ad blocker is rather childish and is provocative. You could sponser a site by allowing its ads selectively which is a good thing and a site could mention it. But I do not like my freedom of choice being taken away from me. It is all a matter about respect I guess.
