typically in that case the boomerang is they come back but as a consultant. just doing the same thing they were doing before but at a different rate. usually higher to cover health ins plus a bit of a bonus.
Honest question how many of that 2k are just the same webpages but just different days? I personally am a close the whole browser out at the end of the day guy. With bookmarks for things I just have not got to yet. With…

More than likely nmap type scanning across all devices on a segment. I had one customer that saturated our AAAA server with requests because they though sending in data on every even was just dandy. For one device in a…
Also many had fun easter eggs. One of my favorites was galaxy quest. You had to watch the movie then after you watched it there was a new option to watch the movie in the alien dialect. Now some menus are just 'in the…
I had one customer that managed to figure out which stored procs were tied to which reports we were using. Then he would deliberately break it in weird subtle ways them and call tech support 'just to see how we would…
I have ruined my fun of many games by activating cheat modes. I strictly avoid them now until I have felt I have 'completed' the game to my satisfaction.
> There isn't ever a good reason to have an infinite loop That seems to be a very broad statement. For example in a system where interrupts mostly control things this sort of 'do not close the program' could be useful.…
I would not bet on that assumption. I have seen some wild code over the years from devs. With 'ai' type coding going on now too you may see them be used even more.
Most of the time it isnt mine either. But here and there there will be large swaths of some site that are just not archived. At one point if someone put up a robots text file history would just vanish. Have not checked…
Even Archive.org is rather limited in what it keeps. I know of a very large site that recently disappeared. archive only has part of the web html part of the site. Everything else is either gone or non accessible.
There are. Several model maker communities use it to put stuff up for sale. It is a nice way to find other model makers. The reason I joined FB no longer exists for me. I remember why I stopped talking to many of the…
'always online' has created a whole new set of buggy from a lot of companies. For example cyberpunk is NOW a playable game. Launch date was a very mixed bag. 'fix it after launch' ugh.
Having just put a battery into my existing system. For the power company I use the answer is no to your question. Many power companies charge that fee depending on the size of panels. Now if you do not hook to their…
I did something similar in win16/32 at one point. Think we wanted something special with graphics on the button. We basically had to recreate all of the actions of focus/unfocus/etc. Everything a normal button could do.…
and sometimes you can not do that. if it is some sort of historical thing.
Probably talking about swapping it in from some external datastore. These days you would open the file and dump it into a single buffer and rip across it, and not even really stress about it. Even 256 meg of hard drive.…
Unfortunately not all of them. It depends on the device you are using, and the storage device, and the kernel, and the CRT you are using. The process I was using went from like 20-30 seconds to run to less than a second…
Also you need to be careful what you read/write. In some cases. As many examples out there use int/char etc to show how to use the thing. But if you switch to structs that fwrite can totally burn you if you use the…
There is one game called 'hack n slash' on steam. You manipulate the 'global vars' to win the game. There is even one point where the game has you open up its data files and change things. Interesting mechanic.
On some systems/drives if it detects an error that is big enough it will reset the carriage. You can here it reading and rescrubbing over and over. That can cause the carriage motor to overwork and burn out. Not sure of…

those story points do not earn themselves!
Start simple add the rest later when you needed it. How will you know you need it later? At 3AM. If it makes you feel better add a comment what will be needed when it breaks. I see over and over wildly overdone code.…
