I had 4 shots, last one about 6 months ago, and it hit me 3 weeks ago like a ton of bricks. I was still functioning (and coding!) but it was a fairly horrible 3 days, followed by an annoying week, followed by another week of sniffles and cough.
Worse than any flu I've had, most definitely.

Yes, this looks similar indeed, perhaps vaccine mismatch, fast mutations of the virus ...
I am on day 5 now, after being caught off-guard on Saturday,
it looks like a sleep deprivation contest...

It appears that our governments are no aware of the definition of "vaccination"

This is new to me ... and btw, my "hell week" evolves in a good way, still 1-2 days and I'll be like a skylark

Don't worry. If you don't see things the profiteering way, there will be re-education camps you can go to soon to make sure you think the accepted way.

...and Covid without vaccination is...?
Can you demonstrably prove the outcome in either case?
That's really the problem.

Yes, we had 200 lbs of reference manuals, and life was simpler.
I just finished a whole bunch of googling to figure out how to bulk copy an archaic Access DBF file into SQL Server, using .NET 7. My comments in the code show some of the depth of the rabbit hole.
And yes, I still use FrontPage for article writing and I'll be damned if I'm going to uninstall it and Visio 2010 to install the 64 bit Jet drivers, so now my importer app is in x86 mode.
And stunningly, the .NET SqlBulkCopy thing is working perfectly.

hahaha. It's still the best darn editor for split HTML and WYSIWYG editing, IMO.

You didn't get to try Expression Web 4 then?

I guess that you are not using the same mainboard, disk, keyboard and screen as you did in the 1900s. So what happened to that machine? Or, I suppose, those machines that you have replaced. Didn't you keep keep any of them for running old SW? (and for that sake: HW. I've got several pieces of hardware that cannot be moved to my current machine for lack of interface / bus.)

Not only write code but all the information that's available on EVERYTHING, it's amazing what Mr.Google knows.
Give me coffee to change the things I can and wine for those I can not!

This is one place where virtual machines really come in handy.
It's such a shame that the IT gestapo where I work won't let me use VirtualBox (which is free) and refuse to give me a license for the sanctioned VM package.
Software Zen: delete this;

I currently work with someone who's officially retired, but sticks around because his software is VB6 and dBase and nobody knows how that stuff works.
He's currently converting everything to SQL Server, despite not knowing how SQL Server works (I don't know how he does it).
After that I get to rewrite his software to .NET (he already ported two application to .NET Framework 2, obviously he doesn't know how that works either).
Not particularly looking forward to inheriting that one

Based on your description I would not expect linq. So he must be using SQL.
Since dBase code is just table based only thing he needs to learn is the basic SQL statements.

My turbo pascal 2.0 manual was one handy paperback pocketbook. It was all you needed. Try that with c#. They keep adding stuff, when are they gooing to remove a lot of fluff?

We wrote it much better back then.
Now we have internet, we have to find out everything ourselves as nothing gets documented, go to code project and other sites to ask other users how things work.
Before the internet, everything was properly documented, so we didn't need those forums.
So the answer is that it is much harder now than it was before the internet.

Well that must explain why we are on TLS 1.3 now. Because SSL and the previous versions of TLS were "better".

You completely miss the point.
Before the internet there was no such thing as SSL or TLS.

Ah...you mean when the only source for learning Fortran was by reading the CDC Manual that was chained to the desk in the Operations center?
Of course one could buy it for about $200 or so which was, adjusting for inflation, about $925 now.
That was the only source for learning it. And it was not written for learning.
Or slightly later...When I learned C++ there were only two books originally available. Stroustrup's book and then the other wasn't even for C++ but rather for Objective C. The Ellis book came out about then also but those were the only books at all.
Might note also that I worked in a book store then, so I did in fact have resources that the vast majority of people did not.
Yet now when I search for "C++ Programming" in Amazon I see pages of results.
So no I don't think that the documentation now is worse than it was then.
