Does that author not know about "QuickEdit Mode" and copy/paste simply with the right-click?  Why does he go through such convoluted convulsions?  I've never heard of anyone doing that.

You still had to remove the extra line-breaks and spacing, though. The Ctrl+C support is much nicer.

Not always; pretty infrequently actually in my experience. Granted I have my window set full size with 270 characters across.
And why use the mouse to select and then switch to keys to copy/paste?
Of course, I remember having to use only keys for select/copy/paste on a VT420 (if I recall correctly) -- no mouse. That was still an improvement over earlier termini though.

That's a great achievement indeed. Hopefully they will take care also of the remaining 98% stuff in order to get a proper console environment.

In every version of Windows going back to XP (don't know about prior versions) you can move the mouse cursor over the DOS window with text in the clipboard, right-click and select Paste and it inserts the text at the current command line cursor position.
I do admit though that I too wondered why a simple ctrl-v didn't work.

Yeah, which requires moving the mouse, right-clicking, and selecting paste, when a "don't take your hands off the keyboard, Ctrl+V" is so much easier.

Also ctrl-Enter is back for entering full screen (gone since XP).

Thanks, that's useful to know as it will eliminate all those cd commands.  I did notice that it can be made full screen now which is nice.

...well, it's actually two: Don't forget about the improved editor for environment variables (System properties > Advanced > Environment Variables) for things like PATH: It's no longer just an endless string and "oh, I forgot a semicolon there..."
PS: I'm not sure if this was in the initial release (10240), but it sure is in 10586.

CEFSharp[^]
The last time (a few years back) that I tried using it, Chromium and CEFSharp where horribly unstable, so I ditched my attempts and just used the .NET browser control.
Has it improved?

What are your opinions of taking online coding tests in relation to getting a new role?
Take them or not?
|
|
|

Most of the people taking them seem to end up in QA anyway, so you've probably done several dozen already...

The real question is surely whether you care to work for the sort of employer who thinks online coding tests are of value.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
|
|
|
|

Precisely this.
I refuse to take them on the grounds that they prove nothing. If they don't like it, I didn't want to work there anyway...

Here's an example:
[^]
Notice the misspellings and horrid grammar.
I love this question, which I got "wrong":
Ques 18 : Are private class-level variables can inherited?
(A) Yes, and we can access them
(B) No, and we can not access them
(C) Yes, but we can not access them
(D) All of the above are wrong
Answer : Yes, and we can access them
Ignoring the bad grammar, no, private class members cannot be accessed in subclasses. That is, after all, the definition of "private".
So, you decide whether online coding tests are BS or not.

Well, technically speaking their answer actually is correct.
But I doubt the test writer was thinking about Reflection when they wrote that question.

Exactly. According to my SO search, it's sort of a trick question, because the subclass does actually inherit the property. Not that it does it any good, haha.
