Many, many years ago, when I was doing my first internship in a big company, we got a new manager who in the first meeting told us that "in the next couple of years CASE (Computer-aided software engineering) tools will make software developers redundant and that we should focus in other aspect of IT if we wanted to stay in the field. users will be able to model their requirements and the tools will write the software for then.". Even though I was 20, I was smart enough to understand how stupid this guy was, that CASE tools were a fad and started searching for a new job that same day. Within 2 months I was out of there. 24 years later, me and several millions around the world still have a decent paying job developing software.
Thinking that, in the near future, AI "something" will be able to replace humans in such a complex stuff as developing software fall withing the same realm of stupidity IMHO.

Right, so AI will replace software engineers and developers!?!?
And exactly who is going to tell this brilliant AI what to develop? Brilliant technical management who can't even figure out how do to a time estimate properly?
Oh I forgot... The AI will have results immediately so no need to tell it anything...

"Development"?
Collecting "user requirements"? ("Uh ... let me see ... yeah ... this is what I want ...").
Translating said user requirements into a system that doesn't kill?

It's times like these I wonder how much money was lost even with such a short downtime considering the size and nature of the business.
Site is mostly back up for me. Sidebar still not loading properly though.

Hi guys, thanks for tuning in to another video on Forgotten Weapons... 
I love his channel, I like his style and I also like InRangeTV a lot - enough to become patron of both on Patreon.

I'm more of how & why it works type, more than a gun nut, so I never really got into InRangeTV. I was under the impression I was the only viewer...

I usually skip the 2gun matches on InRange, mostly I watch their tests (wandering zero, barrel heating, mud tests) and their discussions.
I'm a gun nut but I prefer actually shooting rather than watching someone else do it unless it is an historical piece or I'm trying to figure out something about some gun I wish to buy (i.e if Hickok45 has difficulties controlling a particular weapon then it's probably better for me to avoid it).

I am always astounded at not only his control, but speed as well.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

And he's not the best shooter out there! Karl of InRange is a war machine, especially with rifles.
He's still miles ahead of what I can hope to become

It would be nice if youtube could show a message "we are down" instead of an error message. I thought it was a problem with my device or internet connection and tried to trouble shoot on all my devices before finding it out from internet.

I think Maps is the only thing I actually DO want installed  Maybe Google will be bros and just stop bundling worldwide otherwise I'll still be stuck with all those "Play XXXXX" apps and the Newsstand

I use it quite frequently. For the other Google apps I don't need/want, I just disable them. I wish I could do the same with the preinstalled AT&T apps.

I don't think "those" apps are bundled with Android, you must've installed them yourself.
Don't worry, we're not judging (a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do)

Nah there definately bundled. Well at least on the Sony & Acer devices I have here in the UK.
All I ever use is Maps, Chrome and GMail.
The rest are in rom though, so I can uninstall the updates, but not the actual app.
Not a big deal on my phone, but the tablet only has a few G of memory, and I'm lucky if I have a couple of hundred meg for my apps.

Same 
And Google Play to download new apps, suck as FB and WhatsApp.
Oh, and Skype came bundled, which I've been using for work lately.
Otherwise I've disabled as much from the bundled apps as I can.

dunno why I've got ms word and excel on my phone, can't uninstall, can only disable.
never even bothered to try it to see what happens. (probably a trial, farkin ms sales phishing??)
as if I would ever want to edit documents/sheets on a 4" screen?
does anybody actually use orifice on a phone? tablet maybe if desperate, but a phone?

I do occasionally when I'm traveling between clients.
Sometimes, If I'm in Cattle class on a train, there's no room to get the laptop out, so I'll use my Tablet instead.
It's really not that bad, and it's saved my bacon a few times when I've had deadlines to meet.

Yup, I use it on the phone.
I've got serious problems with damn ever-updating Windows 10 on my private laptop, so if I only need to write a 3-line-notice-that-insurance-letter that I don't want to write on my business desktop, I won't boot my laptop for it. I do it on the phone and print it right away. That's really faster than having that laptop pulling updates half an hour before I can start using it.
It's really free, but pushes everything on OneDrive. And it doesn't have as many features as the desktop version - which you really don't need on your phone (and 99.999 % of times on your desktop neither).
I'm also doing some Excel for calculating e.g. our house building costs. Works fine. Don't need to start the laptop for entering “123.45 € for screws“.
By the way: does ANYONE really pay for Office 365 for private use? For what I'm doing most times Wordpad is sufficient - and if not there's always Office online and / or the apps. For those mentioned 3-line-letters or that tiny Excel sheet collecting costs prices for Office are WAY too high, IMO.
