I did write my own. In C# / WinForms. A TextBox handles all the basic editing functions and I added higher-level functions.

Six years after making Unity the default user interface on Ubuntu desktops, Canonical is giving up on the project and will switch the default Ubuntu desktop back to GNOME next year. Ubuntu phones and tablets also dead, but the desktop, server, and cloud live on.

To translate; to UI that feels more like Win95 is preferred over the 'modern' UI.

I tried Ubuntu Unity. It was terrible.

(Not that Gnome is any better. I prefer Fedora with LXDE--a simple GUI that doesn't pretend to be at all sophisticated.)

No doubt added by someone of the mentality to also use "This page intentionally left blank" statements.

According to a new study involving more than 120,000 job offers transacted on Hired, a jobs marketplace for tech workers, the average female candidate is still making less than her male peers for the same work, and sometimes far less. According to the American Association of University Women, it might take another 136 years for the pay gap to disappear entirely.

According to my own intensive and back-breaking research, the problem is not as big as media wants you to think it is. Equal Pay[^]

I think someone forgot to carry the 3 when figuring that out.

Not where I work. I do 4x the work for less pay and I don't get any FMLA or disability time either.
If I were a female or minority I'd be an executive with diplomatic immunity.

If there truly were a gender pay gap, why not simply hire women if they're doing the same work for less?

While the current administration focuses on bringing jobs back to the United States from China and Mexico, the real threat to job loss already resides within our borders. Until they automate bad jokes, I'm gonna be allllllll right.

You shouldn't pay him -- he already gets loads of wu-maoses from ms, and doesn't give CP a cut.
Besides, his jokes are cr@p.

Silicon Valley is starting to realize that the huge talent pool of nontraditional candidates may be the answer to its pipeline problem. *briefly considers burning degree for further job opportunities*

I can honestly say that having worked with hundreds of developers in my time, I've never noticed any kind of correlation between whether or not someone has a degree and their ability to code their way out of a wet paper bag. Any company that makes a discrimination on those grounds is placing a needless and self-inflicted restriction on the pool of talent that they can draw from.

I am not saying that people without a degree can not program. I have already supported the opinion that it is not mandatory.
But, that there is a lot of people that can code doesn't mean that they can do it well. And with well I mean with methodology, following a structure, clean, secure...
And as an end note... my comment was a fully sarcastic joke due to the "IoT" news of the last weeks. There are a lot of crappy coders working on places where they shouldn't be (and I don't care if the have degree or not) and that should get their hands chopped off.
And I leave it there... if not, we will have to move this thread to the soapbox

No criticism of your post intended, I can assure you!
I do think it's all down to how people are taught, rather than where they're taught. It has sometimes surprised me how little of any value people have been taught on CS courses at generally well-regarded universities whereas people who have come through less prestigious routes often seem to have a far better overall comprehension of what constitutes good practice.
I guess the bottom line will always be that the people that techies would like to employ often tick very different boxes from the kind that are ticked by the people that HR departments like to employ. The best advice on developer recruitment that I could give any company would be to let the developers chose the developers and not let HR types anywhere near the process!

GUN violence in America gets plenty of attention, but cars kill more. Around 40,000 people a year die on American roads, more than all fatalities caused by firearms Seems plausible
