Well, this was the week we learned that Denver Broncos MVP Von Miller is being fined $100 per ... um ... accident in training by Dancing With The Stars partner Witney Carson and admitted that he was getting off lightly as in the locker room at Denver it has a minimum $500 tariff! Seems the girls have finally decided to call out the offence in the offensive!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Anyone try out the Github Atom editor? Atom[^]
It's nearly an essential if you're an Apple developer - considering there has been no good ascii editor uptil now and also it can edit files starting with a dot - a very hard thing to do on OSX normally.

I use it on Windows quite a bit. It is a very nice editor. And to think it is written completely in JavaScript!

Wash your mouth out with SOAP!
Saying anything JS related is "nice" is pretty much a capital offence round these parts...

It is, though. Very fast. Loads up in a few seconds, and can edit pretty much any kind of file. With the right plugins it can even be a decent C#/Python/Ruby/Perl/etc. IDE. And there are a LOT of plugins.

While most of my work is done in Visual Studio, any web work is definitely done in Atom. It's just a better version of Sublime IMHO.

That sounds intriguing. I've played with Sublime, and while nicer that my old editor, for something that I rarely need any of the advanced capabilities of wasn't worth the $70 they wanted for a non-nagware copy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In difficult times like these when certain developers were assigned to port some Android apps to iOS I !@#$ Apple, iOS, Xcode and especially the webView object.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

It's a pretty good editor. I use it whenever VSCode is not available and I can't install it. Very clean looking.

I was using it, but switched to visual studio code.

Over at the Kalzumeus Software website, an article was posted Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names[^] which, in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, describes some of the bad assumptions made about peoples' names that make websites difficult to use.
We, as programmers, have seen the problems with last names (surnames or family names) such as d'Agastino, O'Dell, McDonnell, Rice-Davies, !Mbeki, la Fayette, von Helstien, duBois, Peñia, Dönitz or Null (Yes, that is a real last name!  ). Although not as common, similar problems exist with first names, middle names, honorifics, suffixes (Sr., Jr., II, III, et. al.)
Can we, being serious for a whole minute, come up with a set of sensible rules for handling all names of people that can be written in ASCII? — Adding rules for non-ASCII UniCode characters is an exercise best left for the future. Let's keep this to a discussion of rules and, for now, avoid the question of writing code to implement them – that belongs in other forums!

You know, the person could just write there name as "I am Null, from planet Krull". Problem solved. User's fault.

Why do you need any rules at all?
|
|
|
|
|
Because, once stored in a database, we will need to look up names and the person doing the search is not the person who entered the name. Having rules for names allows us to compare partial names to locate the records for the person we are trying to look up.

The rule is that you use nvarchar to store names in the database. You could also do away with names altogether and just assign everyone a GUID at birth. Problem solved.
