Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It is common knowledge that hardware is cheap, and programmers are expensive, and that most performance issues can be easily solved by throwing more and bigger hardware at it. But is it really cheaper in the long run? Is there still some room for optimization work? MYGNI: Maybe You Gonna Need It

Programmers new to the game are more prone to think more hardware is better because they assume that the compiler de jeurs is already optimizing for them. Those of us that grew up in the PC dev industry when 4k of RAM was king and 320k was considered "a lot of disk space" will always do things with optimization in mind, even though we use .Net.
The kings of optimization are assembly language devs, but nobody I've worked with over the last 20 years has ever done assembly language. It's a lost art.

Not quite; compiler writers, and those of us who have to mess with high-performance, time-critical, software still know and use assembly language (in judicious quantities).
If you mean that no one writes entire applications in assembly language anymore - you are right.

before i got out of the image processing biz, i was writing a lot of assembly.

Believe me - I can write code that brakes ANY hardware... The difference between me and a newbie is that he does it natively, while I have to concentrate harder

On Wednesday, Dell announced that it had discovered a security breach on November 9th. This breach tried to extract Dell’s customer information including names, email addresses, and hashed passwords. If everyone else has a security breach, would you want one too?

if its trending why not #securitybreach !!!

I pay quite a lot for unlimited data on my phones, because I figure that it costs less than the price you can pay for using wi-fi networks set up by people who don't have a clue what they're doing.

IIRC the ones in the Insider email were setup as redirections so that when they screw up and put a bad link in, they can fix it serverside and people who read the email later will get to the correct story.

Then someone in CP screwed up because in email you have:
https://www.codeproject.com/News.aspx?ntag=19837497634336955&_z=7245998
Which is correct.
The one from previous post I copied from here:
https://www.codeproject.com/script/News/List.aspx
so there is no point in doing some mambo jumbo redirection.
Oh and in today newsletter there is no link to 'View online at' also... oh well.. They've doing it for how long? 20 years? And still not perfect

Hey, that's my post!

I've just come across someone's CV on Github. They don't have any other repos, just their CV. Is this an accepted platform for posting your CV online? I would have thought building your own site (or using one of the excellent free online ones) would have been a better alternative. Seems very strange to me but then I may be missing something.

An option could be to post in the right forum, couldn't it? I think you wanted to post in the lounge

This is wonderful, Mark ! The main character in a story I'm writing could have, should have, said this If I have your permission to use this, I'll attribute it to you, or, for a very reasonable up-front, cash, fee, not attribute

Damn this on-screen keyboard!
Atcherly, I think that comments posted to a discussion board such as the lounge qualify as "discarded", so you and the police are entitled to rummage through them to your hearts' content.

Yes I did mean to post in the Lounge. Having a senior moment lol 
Maybe one of the Admins could move it for me
