I wish you the best of luck. May your code work on the first few tries.

My view is, if my code works for the Demo and the acceptance trials it becomes someone elses problem!

Yes, and I usually was the programmer who picked up maintenance. At two companies I worked for, I specialized in it!

Working things aren't simple, and there is no way a thing with Universal in the name can be simple anyway.

Wasn't really hoping for something simple, just sensible. Actually to be honest I was expecting something designed by committee, and that's what I got.

It had to be designed a committee, from real-time data transfer to switching the voltage/current level of a PSU through autoconfig with hubs in the line without kneeling down like Ethernet due to congestion is quite a wide range for a single spec.
Worthy challenge, you will be master of a new field.

Yeah. I mean, I understand why. Especially when you consider you have to make it work across multiple vendors and if they don't get a say they'll make their own standard.
Mainly, I'm just complaining - I don't like the products of committees typically. I can't quite articulate why at the moment, other than to say it seems stifling the way things are put together. But I can always tell when something was put together by a committee.
Anyway, I'll figure it out.

Well, those of us who earned our wings working 40 years ago with Commodore's digital serial protocol (IEC Bus), we don't find USB's spec weird at all. Next!

Today, being March 14, must be Pi day.
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Inverse Pi day is the 113th day of a 355-day Lunar year.

How come sinewaves don't get their own day? Is oscillation not as cool as a circle?

It also has a time. Most mornings I have to get up around 3.14 to go for a pi...

I also have a pi several times a night, but one has to do a 2*pi*r each time unless one wears diapers.

Hi All,
I have a question, as I have used Notepad++ for years. I was told it would be on my current employers list of approved software. Probe further to find out why, turns out its 'Freeware' and as such is insecure. Is this alarmist I haven't heard of any issues, the only thing is our PC are so nailed shut you have to get IT every time it updates...

So we pay for LastPass, Git, and the list goes on, and we keep reading about how they get hacked. Seems like your IT has it bassackwards.

Like you, I've used Notepad++ for years. While I'm sure it has its bugs, I haven't heard of any security breach that was traced to it. I would expect that if one avoids plug-ins from unknown third parties, one should be quite safe.
Good luck convincing IT of this.

Just tell IT to make a monthly donation and it will no longer be free: Donate | Notepad++[^]
Is VS Code insecure as well?
Could be a good alternative.
