Why don't one of you post the answer then ?

I can only speak for myself, but when you have to use an anagram solver to find a word you never heard of before, it kind of feels like you don't deserve to win.

Is that what you think they did ? I didn't think it was that obscure - I'd heard of the word but have to admit I looked up the meaning

It's what I did! I The structure was pretty clear so I tried to find the word, couldn't, so used an anagram tool to avoid having to wait 4 hours to learn a new word. I think pkfox has won this one...

I gave up as soon as I counted 3 "T"s... that's way out of my league

How else can a word be "new" to somebody?
To get from the anagram to the answer, you must surely already know the target word? I suppose you could try to find a word that sounds like it might be a real word, and then look up to see if it is a real word, but then... not much different from using an anagram solver at the point.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the usage of "new" in this context.

Hi yall,
Wondering if anyone has any tip about that...
Doing git operation in VS2019 is becoming increasingly slower at work here, to the point it's really annoying.
I suspect that the huge number of branch (one per ticket, I auto delete my branch on PR accept, but other let them hang there), but I have no clear evidence that's the problem. And anyway we keep 1 branch for every forthnightly release, so there will be a hg number of branch no matter what.
Anyway, dunno what to do about it nor how to diagnose it! need help on... how to diagnostic!

VS2019 and git is working fine for my team and I. No issues. We are running latest version of VS2019 and DevOps.
where is your Git repo? Devops, GitHub, Bitbucket?
In the past, performance issues have almost always been tied to database/db server issues backing DevOps. Fix/optimize that and we were back up and running at normal performance levels.

Somewhere in Azure...
I noticed other developer have left hundreds of outdated branches in the repo that have already been merged...

we perform branch cleanup once a week on Fridays. It is a good thing to do, but it is most likely not responsible for your git performance issues.
Since you mentioned Azure, than I am suspecting you are using DevOps with Git? If so, then your git performance issues are most likely database related. I would get with your manager/IT dept. and see if they can focus on the database for DevOps and troubleshoot from there.
When you push changes from VS 2019 to DevOps - using Git (or anything, really), you are storing information in a database in DevOps. If that database or database server (which was in our case) is having issues, then once you fix those issues your "Git" performance will improve.
I believe, if I am remembering correctly, the issue with our DevOps database server had something to do with some 3rd party security software that was inadvertently throttling input and output to the database.

Gotta investigate this.. would be good to find out!

I now see jobs advertised for programmers to create (new) "coins" that can be put on such-and-such an exchange.
If "value" is in part due to "scarcity", where is the value if "making coin" is that easy.

And why would we help someone else do it?
|

We might not be willing to help. But others will, because a founder's stake in a coin that becomes popular can be as lucrative as founder's shares in a start-up that successfully IPOs. But there's a lot of silliness in this sector, not to mention outright fraud.

This sounds like an excuse for the programmer to use his own electrical energy; if the user is a college student, then this could be paid for by the institution as it runs on its server.
