This is a smarter breakdown. I had a similar thought that this is a test to see how many people will conform to a random demand, basically fielding for which departments are fighting against his authority to know the areas to focus on.
Isn't this all from one event?
It's not like the Trump voters are silently voting. They're load and clear?
COBOL doesn't have a date type. And there were "people" in that "list" that weren't just 150 years old, and they varied in ages.
The real answer is that the list that they're saying is people getting social security, isn't the list of people getting paid, just lists of random ages in the database, which ultimately means nothing.
I think it makes sense that people who don’t have actual experience in making projects in a specific language won’t be aware of details such as the value 0 being the default in a certain kind of field in a certain language which makes it a good flag for “data unknown”.
The whole "COBOL's default date is 1875" thing is just a lie. COBOL doesn't even have a date type.
So the problem doesn't have anything to do with COBOL, someone just made it up
So spend a chunk of money to hire a team to upgrade the database that's working to one that's programmed in a new language, ~~might~~ will have errors, then have to fix those errors, and you'd also have to train the existing team or replace them with someone who knows how to use and maintain the new database. You'd potentially want to upgrade or change the hardware too from an old mainframe computer unless you want to only sidegrade to like C-90 since your old IBM computer won't support newer compilers. In the meanwhile there's a HUGE risk of breaking something or even just not getting anything accomplished
It's definitely an objective that's good but if you're chasing efficiency and cutbacks, it's the opposite of what you'd want to do.
I was mostly surprised because Spelunky 2 is so much harder, and Spelunky 1 is already hard enough for a newcomer.
No, being greedy is why America still has slavery, technically. As a whole they could get a ton more profit and save on costs if the system cared to develop prisoners, reduce prison populations and make them more productive members of society.
Individual and short-term profits are gained through this exploitation. The fix isn't to eliminate profit "waste money" then everybody loses. The solution is to address the externality in the market, thereby making it so that everyone can profit.
I don't get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.
Just delete Instagram.
Don't replace it.
Why do news stations make these stupid short clips with music and pictures? Just show the clip
