Who writes in assembly unless they are tweaking drivers or doing very low level OS stuff? I wanted to pick ridiculous languages which aren't COBOL -- I deliberately omit that from my resume because I don't want to deal with it unless it is an extreme emergency. TBH, the only reason I used Python was because it is the one language you can use across the board in the tech stack. I prefer every language you listed to Python.

mjd1001 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well, they have now gotten to the point that by most of the measurable, they are 'officially' the worst. Last in points Last in points per game Last in goal differential per game. Last in goals scored Last in goals scored per game Only 2nd worst in goals allowed per game though.

I am just teasing...Python is useful... You can make a killing in COBOL and almost create your own salary with how desperate a lot of companies are to find people who know COBOL since so many of the originals are retiring and tons of mainframes still use it... I worked at an insurance company and they had a whole team of COBOL devs to maintain DB2 and the mainframes... Thank goodness I worked on a project using Angular, C# and SQL Server but some of the crazy rules we had to follow when we stored stuff in DB2 were ridiculous...

Figster Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Seemed to be a bit of a drop off on the last game played which suggests to me the coaching change was not as popular with the Buffalo Sabres Hockey team as it was for the Sabre fan base. I realize the coaching change was not going fix anything overnight. Getting healthy, gaining much needed confidence in each other and the Sabre coaching staff all takes time. Something the Buffalo Sabres are running out of this season. Myself personally the team can be much better then it has displayed and I point to Covid 19 as the main culprit. Time will tell...

If you lose 12 in a row, nothing you do in the 13th can be considered a drop off. After being named interim coach Granato was not even able to address the team until 2 hours before puck drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intensity and consistency from a defensive standpoint the Sabre's had displayed overall in the last handful of games for the most part was missing. Hits went down along with shots on goal. From a win/loss standpoint I understand where you are coming from. As far as effort goes, I respectfully disagree Curt. Thanks buddy, for the reply.

And 4's on chinese dice are red in order to cancel out the bad luck of the 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) @Drag0nDan All the cards are still in the decks. I mean the betting circles. Betting circles are numbered on those tables as opposed to every single other table in the casino, where the betting circles are blank. So the 4th circle on those tables has the number 5 on it.
