I am really impressed that you know how radioactive horse urine tastes.
I never heard of such.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The problem with espresso is it isn't very stable once pulled, instant has a longer half life and can be reheated more often, so you can use it with baking.
I don't live in the UK so I haven't tried it, but James Hoffmann has a video on specialty instant available in the UK that he reviews on youtube - The Best Instant Coffee? - YouTube[^]

I never had good experiences with instant coffee. And the best one I tasted was a cheap supermarket brand 
As for running on coffee, my coffee preparation table has the following:
* 1 capsule espresso machine
* 1 American coffee machine (I'm Italian, they're exotic here)
* 1 Moka pot (I'm Italian, they're standard equipment here)
* 1 French press
* 1 Manual grinder preset for french press coffee
* 1 Electric grinder
At full capacity I can make 28 servings of coffee at once (though with my average cups it's nearer to 19).

My own procedure is to grind the beans in an inexpensive electric grinder w/ blades not burs certainly not the Weber HG-2 until I hear no clunking presumably indicating the beans have ground to more or less fine Than to place into Pyrex cup pour water over after has stopped boiling Brew for 3-5m Pour through metal strainer onto unbleached paper filter which on occasion I rinse w/ hot water or sometimes boil first to remove any paper flavor Allow to drip into cup Than consume I believe this is called the "Cowboy" brewing technique May stick w/ Folgers instant as USD 15 1lb/453g for less than spectacular I am getting a little tired of However I enjoy collecting the tins from Brooklyn Roasting Company - Cheerio

I always call instant coffee "distant" coffee because of the vague resemblance it has to the real thing.

I'm sure you did
I'm having my flu/covid booster thingy this morning so will be missing until about 13.00
If you don't take it first can you inform anyone that might post whether they are correct or not

It's part of her Long Covid induced Emphysema testing.
It's no fun, but it needs to be done before her specialist clinic at the end of the month.
In theory, I get the flu jab with the Pfizer booster, but not until December (six months after my second vaccination).

Not a surprise here, but my VS2019 has been getting slower & slower over time. This SO article describes it pretty well.
I've tried all the suggestions there and nothing's helped.
If I close & restart VS I get releif for a bit, but then it slows down again. It reaches a point where I hit a key and wait 3-4 seconds to see the result.
Anyone having this issue and/or a solution?
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

disable resharper?
most people I know having slowing down issue can trace it down to reshaper being installed...
if not that try disable all your extensions and then re-enabling 1 by 1 until you find the culprit

I've only noticed this if I'm running some app that is consuming all the processor time. Which is my own doing, as it's my own apps doing complicated things testing large amounts of data manipulation.

(obviously it works on my computer)
Do you have an over-zealous anti-virus ? Can you whitelist your work folder ? (anecdotal, our IT team have a yuge whitelist for developers machines anti-virus)
Do you have extensions like VisualAssist or ReSharper ?
Does tasks manager shows something special when your VisualStudio goes bad ?

Hi all, I've recently finished school and have my certificates with html, c++, java, python, java script, C, and almost done with Go.
I'm getting a lot of interviews but I'm not particular sure of what I should be looking for. I read the thread on this forum that talks about all the red flags. I'm noticing a log of the people interviewing me are not developers and actually don't do any coding at all. It seems they just get an understanding of what my abilities are by having me take an exam or answer a few specific questions.
I recently passed a background check that took almost 10 weeks to get back. I really don't want to have to wait this amount of time for another job to run the same check. I saw on this website www.backgroundcheckrepair.org/ that some companies can use the same check depending on the situation. My hopes is to be able to interview with a company I feel excited to work with and get started right away and not waste any more time.
I've also been looking into internships on http://www.internships.com/computer-science[^] to see if I should just go about that route as most internships in this field pay pretty well...
I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed and for some reason I thought this would be easier..
PS. I interview pretty well and am able to speak to just about anyone about something..
Thanks ahead of time for any tips or advice.

The sad truth is that that is pretty minimal experience. A certificate does not demonstrate proficiency/competency, and if front-end work or database work is part of the job, then pick-your-framework-poison of choice for the front-end, and pick-your-SQL-poison of choice for backend is probably also a requirement. And there's no .NET there, so forget about your .NET-poison of choice.
Which leaves the question, what is a "good" job. The answer being where someone is willing to hire a junior developer that is closely supervised by senior developers and where you are given the ability to level up your skillset over time.

I appreciate your response.
I'm looking into a lot of different internships now to get more experience and projects under my belt.
How long would you recommend intern/junior development before going out on my own? I get that will be different for most people depending on how fast your learn, which I'm a quick study. For this question I guess im just trying to get a general idea of how much hands on experience working with a team you think I would need versus right now where my experience is just different projects and camps i've done.
Thanks so much for the help, it's very insightful!

I guess I would say a year or two. Every college graduate I've ever worked for pretty much knows nothing practical in terms of contributing productively to a project. Some haven't even ever worked with an IDE or know how to start the debugger. This is the problem with schools using Linux-based systems and CLI's - free tools does not mean practical/useful experience in school.
That said, and repeating myself, every one of these college graduates has needed a year or two to get up to speed with the tools, the languages/frameworks, and the business domain. Heck, I've been at my current job for 4 years and I still don't know all the features of the product - domain myopia, lol.

As Marc mentioned, someone fresh-faced out of education with no experience might find it a little more challenging, mostly because you'll probably want to find a position where you can be trained how to do "commercial" development.
A suggestion to benefit both yourself and potential employers, look at putting together some small or medium open-source projects as a bit of a portfolio (ie. on GitHub). It's a great way for you to practise the skills you've learned and demonstrate them, and it gives you something to put down on your CV for prospective employers (or the developers working for them) to have a look at and get a better idea of your skills.
You can also gear your open source projects more towards the type of development you like. If you're interested in becoming a web-developer then put together a basic, interactive website. If you're interested in becoming an API/REST developer then bang together an API which does some basic CRUD operations?
Final bit of advice, don't try and cast the net too wide either. I think most developers will end up specialising in a specific language/framework, if you try and keep on top of lots of languages/frameworks you'll spread your knowledge too thin. When interviewing candidates I always like to ask questions about the specific languages we use (eg. Java) and try to get them talking about what they like about that language (ie. What features of newer versions of Java are you most excited to try out?)
