I can not survive in a support role, my default response is to rewrite. If it ain't mine it is not perfect...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Better said. I guess that's the problem -- my code may be perfect, but somebody else can always make it better.

My first misheard lyric (many many years ago), and still favorite, is Fishmaster by Nightwish[^].
It has hard pr0n, cunning soap and Steven Seagull. What's not to like?

I've gotten rather addicted to the series.[^] Unfortunately, Netflix only has the first 3 seasons. "If-Then-Else" (season 4) is supposed to be awesome.

That is a good series and I was disappointed that netflix only had the 3 seasons.
Jim Caviezel is excellent in this roll, I really liked him in "Play it forward" where he played an addict.

I was floored when Finch, giving advice to a young programmer, says something about "if you want your program to be multithreaded, you have to use atomic variables." I mean, that's actually right! How often do you here techno-babble on a TV show that is correct?
And how many people watching had totally the wrong idea when he said "atomic", hahaha.

Seldom.
I wrote a longer response but my tablet updated and it disappeared… POC

Same here. Jim Caviezel was rather excellent as Mr Reece.

 Thanks for the tip. I was looking for something new to watch.
The last series I binge watched was "Halt and Catch Fire".
What we got here is a failure to communicate

There was a spot the difference picture and it was pretty clear what main feature was different as it was against the skyline of a building so stood out quite clearly, I thought it might have been a diversion for some other more tricky tiny change between the two pictures.
I then thought about image diffing, a quick search online and found an online one http://huddle.github.io/Resemble.js/[^]
Works a treat!

...why don't they "play nice" with the desktop in Win10?
Try this: open Windows explorer, and browse to an image file.
Right click the file, and you get a context menu.
Click on "Send To" and select "Mail recipient"
What happens?
Well, it depends. If you use Outlook, as I do - Office 2010 - then a new mail message appears with teh image set as an attachment, ready to go.
If you use the MS Mail app that comes with Windows 10...you get an error message that no mail program is installed, and explains what to do to fix it. Try and follow the instructions and you find that you have got a mail app installed and registered: "Mail".
Why is this a problem? Because I'm upgrading a friend's mother's lappie to Win 10, and guess how she used to do it on XP?

I tried to uninstall an app from the new Win10 Settings/System/Apps & Features page.
The app just would not install, no messages, no popups, no nothing. Switch to the real page in the control panel and 1st attempt gone......Spent ages as well looking up why this app wouldn't install or looking for any uninstall executable in its install folder etc. etc. Should have just gone to the control panel in the first place would save me some effort, and its better looking than all this crappy new dull forms.

I also hate the fact that you cannot uninstall most of the built-in apps by just clicking "Uninstall" (it's grayed out). You have to go and use PowerShell to remove them. And some system apps (like Edge or Cortana) cannot be removed at all unless tempering with the installation image (which might lead to problems since these are so deeply integrated into the OS now). That's why I use my own custom windows image with all the crap I don't need removed (which is all of the apps except for Edge and the Calculator).

Hi there!
Windows 10 has a "god mode" like its more recent predecessors. Do those settings behave differently after "god mode" is enabled?
Regards.
|
|

|

I don't think so. AFAIK the new "god mode" is just the result of searching the Settings app using a wildcard ("*") which will simply present you with a list of all the settings that are available in there. But the old god mode is still there, although some of the stuff is less useful and has been removed in favor of the app.

Er ... no ... I get a polite message telling you that no mail program is associated which is an entirely different matter.
