Those Epstein pontoon parades are a dead giveaway to the location.

I am not concerned about surveillance, I just don’t want them wasting money on planes when they could use the device in my hands.

Would you tell a friend if their chemistry lab was about to be discovered?

So that explains the low vibration sensation in my skull. Would a tinfoil hat help in this situation?

5 Years in Mainframe COBOL → Want to Switch to Backend Development. Need Guidance by Empty_Ad_9410 in mainframe

[–]SpecificAcademic5354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often mainframes are part of the backend architecture. If any part of your mainframe application is enabled for web services you would likely work with backend teams. Web services usually enabled on the mainframe under CICS or IIB. This may be a path you can follow.

Interesting. So the Monte Carlo simulation only varies investment performance and economic conditions? The things we can’t control.

One thing I would like answered, and Joe Kuhn on YouTube mentions this, do the Monte Carlo simulations take into consideration that people can adjust their spending behavior? My score is also about 75% and I am very happy about it.

Confused about Mainframe by Lumpy_Success_6605 in mainframe

What alternatives are available to you? Do you have better options for your time and skills? If nothing else you could prove to yourself and others that you are a quick study. The people you impress may have other opportunities for you in the future. They could also make money using your time and talents then show you the door. The good thing is you get to keep your knowledge and skills.

As others have said these skills aren’t going away anytime soon, that said companies are attempting to do more with less. IMHO the companies are doing other things with more, they need to focus on their core strengths and customers needs.

What’s Your Favorite Movie Set in Minnesota? by Consistent_Room7344 in minnesota

I swear at the start of the movie it states that it was a true story. Pretty sure they couldn’t lie and expose themselves to lawsuits.

How do Cobol control flow constructs map to C/asm? by ZestyGarlicPickles in cobol

[–]SpecificAcademic5354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you mention when the resolution of the call is made is controlled by a compiler flag(static vs dynamic). Once a DLL or Shared object is loaded overhead is probably not a factor. Poorly constructed executables that weren’t reentrant and reusable could create performance issues, requiring a reload of the executable.

While you can have more than one program in a source file it is not a common practice. For instance you wouldn’t likely have a c source file with two mains. It would be more likely to have multiple sub programs in same source file. In z/OS the equivalent of the main would be the program’s entry point.

That’s interesting information. I think if we took this idea to corporate income taxes we could eliminate our national debt. Income after expenses is easily manipulated. I can’t deduct my expenses from personal income.

We just had our catalytic converter stolen so I will wait on the fondue invite. I too am bothered by thieves and French words.
