@ChappIO You mean like xterm etc?

I think you made the right choice. For development, it's all about RAM, disk speed and CPU.

Who needs touch bars....

@DomNomz java

@darkfire000 ah, I misunderstood. I thought you said it wasn't possible to append to strings in C. It is as long as there is enough memory allocated originally.

Obviously you have to manage memory yourself, hence realloc() etc.

I think C strings are quite good, but they get a bad press due to programmers misusing them!

@darkfire000 hmm...

#include <string.h>
char s[100];
strcpy(s, "hello");
.
.
strcat(s, "123");

No console access?

Why can't you split it into multiple tables, with the same key if necessary? What sort of data is it?

@stable-penguin and you were right! :) I don't know of any other system that does it!

@spl0 Was it just imported from excel or something? How many rows in there?

@azous wow.... good DB designer you have there!

@stable-penguin In this case, AIX!

AIX doesn't give out sequential PIDs!

How many columns are in that index? :-)

Lets see some data!

Does the new computer even have an ethernet port?

Talking of apple connecotrs - that lightning connector is rubbish - they dont make a good connection and they fail all the time....

Ever tried to remove the battery from an apple device? :)

@darkfire000 At some point though, you have to have some language that accesses the bare metal, so to speak!

Yes Java and c# are managed environments - they have their own runtime that protects from things like this.

@Epolepole Thats cool though! Whatever happens they will remember you stepped up to save the day! Good luck - you can't lose really!

@skonteam yes

@kshitij lets hope not!

@forkbomber nope...

@Jase yep personal projects or your last work stuff whatever. Don't worry that nothing is ready to get deployed. Most software is in a continual state of development, and half of it never gets deployed anyway.

Anyway for personal projects it's basically a learning experience right, and who wouldn't like that? The fact that you even play with this stuff when nobody is paying you says a lot anyway!

If the space bar and the : are gone you know it's Python!

As long as you can (roughly) justify what's on your resume, explain what your working on now and tell them a few things you've learned based on experience, that should be good enough right?

@azous Thats the way to do it! :-)

@wsloth 'Supported' is the key word though.

Why would you write a production app in a language/environment that's not supported for your platform?

So C# can't always be the answer.

@wsloth Is it supported on HP-UX?

How long have you been there?
