I remember the day you posted that online!

I wonder how many Googlers would lose their job if Google dropped those contracts.

The post is about "the real reason" and the real reason was never for impaired workers and it is not "the real reason" in almost all cases!

Quit using the minority to represent the majority!

Quit making up things I never said.

I did.

Not every new argument, decades later, is valid either and this is a dim witted one. As made up on the spot as they come.

It makes less than zero sense to me as to why a BSD programmer would even consider wanting Microsoft .NET frameworks, libraries or software on BSD. You have as good or better tools and languages already there. Perhaps in the off chance of porting a program written with .NET but those are rare and the only people who seem to want this are Microsoft and Windows/.NET programmers who also happen to use BSD.

I have been programming FreeBSD systems for 15 years--actually longer--and it's never crossed my mind to even once think about using .NET or any Microsoft product. Makes no sense at all.

I will put people who say this in the same category. Anyone who thinks added sugar is the same as fruit sugar...well...

Yes, it's what I meant but it will be lost on so many people.

Maybe some Vitamin C?! Orange juice is 71% vitamin C! And there is NO added sugar except maybe in the cartons you must be buying at your grocery store.

Olive oil is basically "just fat"?! You make me think that you think the fat in olive oil is no different than the fat in pork or beef.

With those thoughts in mind, most of what you eat is just a little of this and just a little of that and "basically just fat" but it's too early in the morning for me to give you an education.

That's not the point I made to the statement he made so your comment has nothing to do with this.

Most? I've never worked anywhere that uses it.

I will immediately tell my Mom to not rely on such services and install something else.

People who don't live in the area are thoroughly clueless as to the geo-political makeup of what we citizens here call St. Louis. Proof of that are the countless articles pointing to the population of the city being less than 300K while completely ignoring the nearly 3 million of us who live in the area outside the 66 sq miles of the city.

And I haven't a clue how they make a connection between Anheuser-Busch--which is just as active in the city of St. Louis--and Glendale down the street from me.

People get far more done if they spend less time labeling things and thinking there's a new canned technique that's better than what's been done before.

nginx is written in C. The new hotness, h2o, is written in C.

6 of the 8 things you list are C or C++ which is, essentially, C with benefits--most of the code in C++ is identical to C except for interfaces--classes/inheritance/and all that. AI/ML are a small slice of the programming pie that is performed by people who wouldn't use C at the top level but you ignore the fact that, when speed is needed, C is used even there.

I'd go into this more but I don't feel like explaining these things to people ad nauseum. C is one of the most used languages around the world, in new projects, too, and nothing you've said changes that.

You are incorrect in everything you said.

In the meantime, it's one of the most used languages in the world and embedded in every device you use.

Well I'm glad that other languages prevent experts from writing wrong code.

And, yet, almost every program you use on your computer and phone has at least some portion written in C.

One of the biggest fallacies I see spread on forums is the statement that the age of a language or a program is an indication of its failings and a need to be replaced. Typically spoken by amateurs and other hobbyists.

And yet almost all security problems on the internet involved PHP and JavaScript.

When you read about people who have had problems with C, you will find that these are people who never really learned the language and the language is as simple as one can get which should also make one question their abilities.

Which has nothing to do with my comment to the poster.

The subject is wasted food at home.

You can do that but most home cooks don't make soups or sauces from scratch and don't know how.

I already stated why I was leaving.

I sold to a fellow longtime franchisee.

First, I need to say I was a multi-unit Subway franchisee for 33 years until late last year.

When Subway field agents inspected our stores, we would be marked up "out of compliance" but that statement sounds more serious than it actually is. Yes, you could technically lose your franchise for a handprint on the glass but, unless it was a constant problem, agents would only point it out with a remark on the form of "need to pay more attention to the glass".

I need to call out the article treating the slicing thickness of cucumbers being a minor problem. It's not. It's sloppiness that should never happen but yes it happens to the best of us.

We had a problem with one older store where some of the ceramic tile was breaking and coming loose. It took a while to get to it--like months--because we were shorthanded, extremely busy, and the tile was a type that was difficult to find. While our field rep would constantly get on us about it, because it was in the customer area, he was also understanding of our issues.

Something to point out. You needed to be written up on compliance issues three times before you could get into trouble. We were inspected monthly so you had three months to fix issues.

I never felt threatened about losing our franchise. I always felt respect from our DA. Most of the groaning I would hear at meetings was more from newer owners than "original owners" as we older franchisees sometimes called ourselves.

Other groaning came from other areas not mentioned in the article. One was about marketing that didn't work including pricing of advertised deals. The other is the remodeling of older restaurants which would cost around the $200,000 level. If you owned 10 restaurants, that's a $2 million investment that someone of my age would never recover.

Fred DeLuca was stuck in his ways and wouldn't change with the times. His sister, when she took over, was more amenable to change but didn't have the respect from higher ups in the system. That she "retired" is not the right word.

The problems for most of us was marketing not competing well with the new competition causing sales to falter over the last several years. I sold out for that reason and because I didn't want to spend the money on remodeling.

So the problems with this one development agent (DA) in California is something I never heard of before so it really is an anomaly to me, at least.

I said no such thing. I said they aren't looking into your data just because you called a foreign entity.

Is this on topic to the subject at hand?
