Ouch. Should I have seen this coming? AppCenter is heavily integrated in our business' lifecycle. Our budget for 2024 needs to be readjusted

Nilzor | 8 years ago | on: In Baltimore, Brazen Officers Took Every Chance to Rob and Cheat
I have a strong suspicion this isn't limited to Baltimore. Not sure what they expected when they show officers they can get away with just about anything with little more than a slap on the wrist.

I don't think the customers need or want to modify the software. Just open it up for hardware replacements

I'd like to see some concrete examples as well. What kind of repairs are you unable to do?
Nilzor | 9 years ago | on: Farmers look for ways to circumvent tractor software locks
And what kind of repairs are that? As a software developer I don't understand what equipment is failure needs software change. Software don't wear and tear. Hardware does.

I guess what annoyed me was that after thebeardedone said he'd googled for 15 minutes trying to figure out the difference between VS Code and VS, 4 answers to his post gave absolutely no clarification as to what the differences were, including yours. If you look up the definition of an IDE on Wikipedia, VS Code falls into that category.

>Obviously VS Code is not an IDE (as VS is)
OBVIOUSLY? :D VS Code starts looking more and more like an IDE to me :-) Still looking forward to hear what people define as an IDE!
Thank you for your detailed response by the way, not picking on your post, just curious what everybody finds so "unIDEish" about VS Code.

Do YOU know the difference? Would it hurt to be more concrete? I'm going to venture a guess based on my assumptions, which are probably wrong, but then we can at least start a discussion:
-VS Code doesn't support solution-wide refactoring like renaming classes or moving a method from one class to another
-VS Code doesn't support runtime debugging (breakpoints)
-VS Code doesn't have a visual editor
-VS Code doesn't have memory or performance profiling tools
-VS Code doesn't have source control integration
-VS Code doesn't have an integrated build tool (MSBuild)
-VS Code doesn't have NPM or Nuget integration

Just an anectdote: I've made several apps for Android and Windows phone, but the only place I've made money is on Windows Desktop (an outlook plugin of all things). People seems to be more accustomed to having to pay real money for software on desktop. Don't even think about the donation route

Lol. If only every API was designed and documented well.

Haha so true. And then the mix of chronology just to mix things up...
"But Jean-Denis didn't always live a comfortable life in the suburbs. The first seven years of his life he grew up with his grandparents in Transylvania. The potato crop wasn't always good, and the long winters taught him about patience. A trait he's been needing in the search for the MH370."
