C++

I cannot function without object oriented programming.

Java is fast at runtime and easily portable across many operating systems. It fits a niche that will make it extremely difficult to replace.

In my own work, I prefer to develop in JAVA and build the "absolutely must be fast" parts in C++. I mix them together with JNI. Its the best way to balance development time and run time.

Seriously though, JAVA is a pain in the dick.

If creating an offensive work environment drives the SJWs out of R, then I'm thinking they should make a whole bunch more offensive stuff.

Lots of content in a tiny package? Sounds like Python to me!

Right tool for the job.

Bash is good for "live" operations.

Python is ideal for scripting tasks and light programming.

Java is ideal for application development because it is faster and the code is more orderly than Python.

C++ is ideal for performance applications. Often you only need a small component to be written in C++ then implemented through the JNI library in Java.

Whatever happened to the 40 hour week? Wages are stagnant and hours just climb up and up. More and more people have to commute long hours to crawl into ridiculously overcrowded and overpriced cities. At this rate we are going to turn into Japan.

Its a sad state of affairs.

... the examples were all .jpg's and .png's.

Is it possible to get the F## keys to do those macros?

Like, bind "F8" to generate TPS reports or whatever?

I'm totally ignorant on this, but... Isn't this what Microsoft Access is for? I think he can use Access to manage a pretty efficient database with zero programming skills.

Still, it would be best to use a FOSS tool.

sudo apt-get install gnome-do

I think that should work for Ubuntu. wiki

• My server has an active hard drive and a backup. To protect the backup, it is kept unmounted. Once a day a cron job mounts the backup, rsyncs the files across, then unmounts the backup.

• If my laptop is left on over night and is connected to the server, it bzips my home folder minus a few things over to the server. I need to update the script to delete backups over a month old.

• At work I have scripts that pull diagnostic data and dump it to my screen. I maintain a very specialized system, and figuring out wtf went wrong can be time consuming. This saves me from having to dig around in endless folders.

So really just the basic stuff.

TKinter.

Its ugly as shit, but it looks the same on every machine and most of TKinter comes standard with your user's installations. Its also reasonably fast.
