I play with a Raspberry Pi. I got corrected that I should say R Pi so I get corrected frequently by the cognoscenti.
My agency uses Windows computers, so at work I use Visual Studio because that is what I have to use.
I use my Surface Tablet to work with my R Pi through a VPN.
I had an early bad experience with Mac (correct I hope) where I had to help a local ISP in the dial-up days to get the few Apple computers on line . It was hard enough to get Win 95 on line. There were more and better instructions for MS than for Apple.
My son uses Mac to code, and I am thinking of getting a Mac so that I can keep up.

It's worth trying a Mac for a few hours if you have a friend who has one, or you can find one to use at a local library or university.
You can do just about anything with MacOS you can with Windows, but lots of things are done differently; some are only a little bit different, and some are very different. It's mostly just a matter of using it for a while, at which point it'll feel natural. Of course, you might still find that you prefer Windows - which is totally fine. Or you might find that you slightly prefer MacOS. Or you might decide you don't really like either of them.
It's worth noting that if you get a decently powerful Mac, you can use Parallels or VMWare Fusion to run your Windows programs alongside Mac programs. It's pretty seamless for the most part.
And if you get a Mac and decide that you *really* dislike MacOS, you can always blow it away and just install Windows.

Medium Access Controller? Or are you referring to a Mac instead?

Pshhht, they are all asleep again.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Construction was not the problem today, but still I wish I had known this when I once led my brave troops: Remember now, if you get lost...[^]
Edit: Lost again...[^]

inspired by windows 10 on a pc,
you have to admit the square cornered oversized baby building blocks in mono color look really lets the capabilities of any machine down, would you buy a Ford GT if it had the look of a Model T?
"Retro" is for idiots who are lazy and can't come up with any new ideas.

I suspect that most CPians are quite capable of using a dictionary.
(QA questioners excepted )
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.

Just saw the word while reading something and thought it was a nice one I thought that each day someone could post an interesting / less often used word.

If manoeuvre is a word you don't use often you've obviously not slept with a fat lass.
|

The problem with a dictionary is similar to the problem with the MSDN documentation - you need to know the word exists to be able to look it up.
