1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

So you try to be a nice developer, try to be as transparent on your tasks as possible and hand guest access to your YouTrack... They can only view and check back what's happening.
Then there is this one guy, Project Manager of course, that is totally misunderstanding the purpose of your kindnes.
So now he want's access to the System, wants to be able to write Tickets, edit them and check who else writes tickets... Why??? you think and deny the request...
The next day you get a mail: Request from XXX :"Why can't i see this?"
You ask kindly what he wants to state with that.
You can guess the reply...
"That's why i need that system, if i send a request i want to be able to edit it and check it back"
 R.I.P. to my Software plannings...

So I've started a new job, where part of it is being in charge of Health and SafetyI have to watch various DVDs and select the most informative to be used as part of our training schedule. The manual handling[^] one is presented by Diane Youdale - best known as Jet from Gladiators[^].
F*** knows if the information is any good as Ive spent the whole time imagining what I'd like her to manually handle. oh and I don't even need to watch the rest, but I might watch this one again just to make sure.

Not to be confused with the Manuel Handling one I watched by accident once...

Along with dropdowns with more than a few items.

I don't mind dropdowns with many items that much - but if the dropdown-view is then only a few lines long... or if, however many items there are, the view is exactly one item shorter

... that are not sorted or in any recognisable pattern
Also, those that have wide line spacing so you can only see 5 items without having to scroll down
|

Websites that are designed to only work on developers' uber 4k monitors -- for example, dropdown menus whose bottom disappears off the bottom of the monitor and then dismiss when you move the mouse to the scroll bar to scroll down. Not everyone's system has a 4k monitor. Bad developer!
Websites that STILL don't know there's a 97003 zip code. Paypal (a financial institution  ) & UPS, I'm looking at you.. it's been 5 years now. Get a clue!

Wow, you're right. I just checked the zip code database I use for websites. It's using data from 2007. I can only imagine UPS and PayPal are using a similar source. How long ago was 97003 created and where is it?
Here's the two entries I have where it should fall into. It's in CSV format...
"ZIPCODE","LATITUDE","LONGITUDE","CITY","STATE","ABBR"
...
"97002","+45.224241","-122.819800","AURORA","OREGON","OR"
"97004","+45.247636","-122.468991","BEAVERCREEK","OREGON","OR"
...
Google says it's Washington County, Oregon. I'm thinking now it's a good time to update my data source.

Like I said, 5 years ago, so 2012. It was official on July 1st, but the post office was still delivering mail to the old zip code until the following January.
Where is it.. well.. unincorporated Washington County, Oregon. I could provide the info, but I don't know what the official location designation is (so I'll probably be wrong), and it'll be in the updated zip code database anyway (this isn't the only new zip code).

|
|
|

Gotcha, just updated my cached info, but it's only as recent as Jan 2012 now. Although, after a quick google fu, turns out thar be sources that are more recent that offer zip/postal code data. So there's hope for UPS et al...
Postal Codes 97003[^]
As a bonus, seems you share a zip with Mexico and Guadeloupe.

I'm not sure if this is a worse tease, but Amazon sends me spam every 2 days, almost without fail, and those messages contain items they simply won't ship to Canada - no reason given.
If you won't ship it, stop trying to sell it to me!! Of all companies, you'd think Amazon would've figured this out by now...

Been a while, so I'm working from memory here...I think it's built in.
Settings...Devices...Typing
There should be an option "Add standard keyboard" - turn it on.
Then tap the taskbar keyboard icon, tap the keyboard in the bottom right of the soft keyboard and you should have a button to select it.
Wish it had HOME and END though. And "swipe typing" like GBoard does.

There is on mine - you have scroll to it, but it's just below the "use all upper case" option.
And i wish there was some indication that you can scroll.

Yep. Many mammals and birds display quite high levels of intelligence so the line isnt between classes (or is it order, or family?)

No - cardboard is what happens when you're tired of playing poker.
But, be that as it may, is anteing up to see the next card the original paper-view?
