Apology if someone already mentioned this but... Soda cans are designed to make the loudest noise possible when you pull the tab, in order to get the attention of others and suggest to them that it's time to get a soda for themselves.

I think of software engineer as the guys who write compilers, device drivers, implement network protocols, design operating systems, frameworks, and that sort of thing. Programmers make use of the stuff created by software engineers, in order to build higher level applications. Generally speaking, software engineers build stuff for programmers, while programmers build stuff for everyone else. That being the case, I started out as a software engineer 20+ years ago, but am now a programmer.

So what's the problem? Just install Razor first, then you can install Razor and be done with it!

Hmmm... A wise use of machine learning, I suppose. Well alright then. It was my fault after all! ;P

So, I'm trying to download a mobile app to my android phone. It's just over 1 MB in size. I go to the Play Store, find the game, click "Install", and it churns away for what seems like a long time (in internet time). Finally, it says that I need ONE HUNDRED MEGABYTES FREE in order to install the app. I wrote the app, so I know it truly DOES NOT require so much memory, but apparently the Play Store "Installer" seems to think that 99.9 free MB is not enough room to prepare to download and install a 1.2MB .apk file. Seriously, I had to uninstall 100MB worth of apps just to (re)install a 1.5MB app. Mind boggling.

I was ok with it until I saw Michelle Yeoh get beat easily by a Klingon. Not an army of Klingons. Not a small band of Klingons. ONE FREAKING Klingon! Michelle Yeoh??? I don't think so!

Same here. It works well for me also. On chrome for android you can "Add to home screen" from the settings menu, which lets you launch CP in browser as if you were launching an app.

A little background... My wife runs a medical billing business, and the primary software she uses to do her work is the web-based application of some service provider whose name I can't remember at the moment. Anyway, yesterday the software was producing all sorts of errors, causing much grief to my wife, which in turn was distracting me from my all-important game of SpaceBlaster.io (shameless plug!). So I thought to look at her JavaScript console and network activity, to see if the problem was on the client side or on server side. Still awake? Good! Here comes the interesting part. Here I am, poking around in Firefox, snooping at this application's HTML code, and what do I find? An tag! My wife, being a bit startled by my intense GASP, asked what was wrong. I mentioned that "these guys" are still using Java Applets, which as far as I know are not supported anymore by anyone. She acknowledged this and immediately responded that the new version, which is in beta, does not use Java at all, and proceeded to load the new version up in her browser. I immediately start "inspecting" the code, and sure enough, the Java Applet is gone. However, I also noticed that a bunch of the JavaScript files had names containing the word "faces" in them. So I'm thinking "Java Server Faces???". Nobody's talked about that stuff for years that I know of. Anyway, it kind of boggled my mind that someone is still using this stuff, and would upgrade from one ancient technology to a less ancient technology :) Any of you guys still coding JSF or Applets? If not, when was the last time you've come across either in your work?

Only the people who are working hard to squeeze every last ounce of performance of the CPUs, GPUs, display controllers, storage devices, network adapters, compression algorithms, etc. so that your spouse's car can receive map information from a satellite 13000 miles away, in order to tell them how to get to where they are going, while your kids stream reruns of SpongeBob videos from the comfort of their own home, all while you are at your office, cranking out applications in the most inefficient, crappiest way possible, and still managing to look like a rock star when you deliver your product.

No, those drone coders tend to retire somewhat early and very wealthy, after creating an entire industry that never existed before. And the ones that dont, well, they're still getting paid better than most in the industry. Incidentally, I would consider myself about a 2.5 on that matrix.

+ If I was away from home and needed to make a phone call, I had to go to a phone booth and pay $0.10 for 3 minutes of talk time. + If I wanted to learn about something, I went to the library. + In my favorite (or maybe most) movies, there were always people with a cigarette in one hand and booze in the other. And that was COOL at the time. + A fist fight would end as soon as one person said "ouch", basically admitting defeat. + If I came in from outside too often, Mom would say "Get out and stay out until dinner time!". + I could buy a slice of pizza and a soda with $1, and get back $0.25 change, which allowed me to play a game a pinball. There was more but I lost my chain of thought. :-)

I am lucky enough to be living in the path of totality. From my front yard I was able to see about 1.5 minutes of totality, and it was really one of the coolest experiences I have ever had.
