WinForms - It just works.
Any system that needs a straightforward UI for kicking things off, stopping them, logging them, and dragging data files into them..... WinForms.
Bugfree, hardened by the test of time, works on Windows X, Y and Z.
Everything else is just consumer silver sprinkles, and involves faffing around with multiple config files and obscure layout issues.
I love how entire cohorts of students across a country are used in education experiments!
America dropped the "phoneme, sound it out" of decades past and taught students to recognise word "shapes" and learn what they said. It was a complete, and total failure. Children did not learn to read.
What never comes up in the news is the absolutely crazy approach to rolling this out..... "Amazing new education idea is here! We're all doing it!"...... 8 years later, school graduates fail at X, Y, Z BECAUSE of that amazing idea.
There's no accountability, no recompense. Just a news article saying "5% graduate this year! Oh no! Education is terrible!".. papering over the accountability.
That's EXACTLY what the blanks for! It lets you see what to expect with "All things being the same - just not with the sample in place."
You sure you're a coder?
Shouldn't have bothered....
Seeing people squish at a young age - and I am not being flippant here - helped reduce my teen "I'm immortal! I'm unstoppable!" phase.
I saw very quickly that what separates a live person from a very deceased flat person was a moment of sillyness/forgetfullness/stupidity. "I didn't SUSPECT that is even possible to happen to a person!" - "We're....fragile?!" - "Ah, bike helmet... I think they're REALLY GOOD idea...."
PSA's just aren't listened to by teenagers. But something that's real - that happened, with the security camera timestamp in the corner... kids learn safety.
IMAGINE A WAR.
Now - wouldn't a government LOVE to know who's saying what? Rather than shutting down the entire $$$$$ international corporate internet.
Money concerns as usual.
Gullible to believe its about kids - especially when there's a million options to limit the internet on devices already.

I look forward to the sweet kiss of death to solve the retirement funding issue, and forever declining health while working struggle. Working for "The man" takes everything someone has.
Isn't a comp-sci degree the barely relevant "license" in IT?
Always been a "Dev"..... "Senior" is often a trap for longer hours, less pay, and more responsibility for nothing. I do like helping other people out with their code, and giving them ideas for alternative easier/better to maintain code. I love talking to our end users about their experience and needs. So often the Jira ticket isn't matching the users "Vison" (however rare users having vision is.... if you ask the right questions, they DO often know what they want, just not how they want it)
I've given lots of help in the past but my name never appeared on tickets. My green boxes were few and far between. Sadly when the redundancies came - my boxes were mostly white. Axed. So be careful!
I think "Senior" is a massive extent of skills - and most people aren't on the same page of its meaning.
Some would even say "Senior" is that grumpy old guy that over-engineers everything and shouts at the youngsters if they say he's making stuff 9/10 other dev's can't maintain even with the documentation.
Not in the UK. We get to email a problem. Wait all day for a reply. It works! Before a reply comes back - people self triage. It gets better - no problem! It gets worse - A & E.
The coming of Satan is foretold!
They could always foster some gay kids.... obviously being gay they won't be having gay kids via sex.
With this new gene information, we may be able to make every Down's. The world would be a much nicer and happier place.
PROXOMITRON!
Local proxy filter that is like a Pi-hole, but locally!
It's OLD, and became obsolete when browser plugins were invented, but now more relevant than ever!
Because it's between the server and the client - it can do what it wants!
"Bullshit jobs" are the rubbish required to keep the paperwork tidy, assessed and filed. No company pays someone to do -nothing-.
AI isn't going to generate those jobs, it's going to automate them.
ALL our bullshit jobs are going away, and those people will be unemployed.
something humans have done since before recorded history
Inuits would leave their old out in the snow, and walk away. Just saying.
Far right talking points!
They'll be as Danish and any other Danes, just choosing to live life as they see fit.
"And as a result, they won’t be nearly as economically productive as Danes, ", how does someone with a different religion, or choice for music make them less economically productive? Are you suggesting they don't know white collar skills? Or are less intelligent due to were they were born?
I bet it streams the video like a protected HDMI movie... so the video stream isn't part of the WDDM's Team's Window - but placed on top of it.
Interestingly that can be overcome by moving the video just a little between two screens, which reverts it back to a WDDM surface. =D
Or TWO monitors, with "Duplicate" selected, and a camera recording the second monitor under the desk.
Dude on the left looks like my doppleganger...... I had to think back to remember what I'd being doing recently - nope, no holes in my memory!
It is clear now that paper archives are far superior to digital ones.
Digital archives don't degrade over time - but they are so easy to destroy. Unplug the disks, or hit "Erase", or take the site down - and history has been erased.
We'll know more about the 19th century than we ever will of the 21st century.

It's BROKEN!
Updates to the browsers have broken the audio of it.
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE think of the children, and fix the audio for us please?
That doesn't work on Codepen.io, in the latest Chrome.
Back to the drawing board.
