1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Today was a good day!
As some of you may know, I moved to a new office in February, together with a business partner.
We decided to give the office a makeover (from red floors and yellow walls  ) and the last of the furniture arrived last week.
Today I tidied up a bit and for the first time I feel like I'm in my office 
Pictures: JUUN Software on LinkedIn[^]
The large office with the books, the meeting table, and the LEGO Millennium Falcon is mine.
Notice the view, I look out over the Haringvliet (a large inlet of the North Sea) and one of the world famous Delta Works!
And I see a lot of ships too

Very nice. Congrats. Happy coding in the new office.

For a moment I thought this was going to be a joke about MS Office... 
Nice! Good luck!

How does one get to larger versions of the pictures? Want to see which Lego version of the Millennium Falcon it is.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I decided to buy an Akura (a stealth helicopter) because ... why not?
And the trade price is $1M less, so I thought I'd do the Doomsday Heist Prep mission which gives you the reduction for the first time.
But ... you have to do those in a open Freemode session, which means all the Griefers get told what you are doing and can come get you.
OK. Look at players list. 26. Gulp.
In, shoot, shoot, run. Get the chopper, back to the facility, done. Less than ten minutes in total ... and nobody even tried to attack me (other than NPC's)!
Maybe GTA V is growing up?
Anyone else noticed this?

Pick one: SLUMBER or RUMBLES

Oooh! Bidirectional!
I had come up with SLUMBER anagraming around to RUMBLES as the definition of NOISES. Going the other direction hadn't occurred to me until I saw OriginalGriff's response. But, it works that way too. If I hadn't found slumber after a while I would have reversed my thinking to assume SLEEP was the definition. If I had then found RUMBLES I might very well have given the solution of anagraming RUMBLES to SLUMBER as the definition for SLEEP.
So, would you have accepted either answer when you set the clue? Was it intended that way?

When I saw OG's reply I realised I had to accept either answer - it really wasn't a very good clue

You missed the rest of the statement:
Programming == Coding ? "I am a programmer" : "He is a coder";

Not watching that.
The activities of "Computer Programming" include(d) the process of plugging wires into very early computers -- which, I dare say, is not coding.
Like those early computers, I don't know that "Coding" really exists anymore. I'm sure others on here can provide a more accurate view. I never used punch cards, but is it not the case that an engineer would define the program and then hand it to a "coder" to punch the appropriate cards? (An early version of pair programming?)

The early days of computer science was discrete in functionality. In this Youtube video example, a person went from a paper trail of equations, to a flow chart then to programming statements (in Fortran, Cobol, Algol, ...) to be compiled into an executable piece of "code". very step-wise. I know I was there. Later pseudo-code took the place of equations, flow charts, etc. then directly programming into the computer language of choice on a keyboard-terminal computer interface with either real-time execution such as Java, Python, etc. or into a complex collection of executable statements compiled and linked with libraries, etc. The programming/coding functionality is blurred toward a usable piece of "code" aka a program.
Just saying.

Anyone seen "Dr Strange in the multiverse of madness"? Saw it this Saturday. Amazing, never-ending CGI. Entertaining. Sticks in your head.
