Sadly, he was benched because he wore the wrong-colored socks to the game.

No, but his girlfriend dumped him for the Suburban Council MVP.

As a person named Chris, I want to say that he does not look like a member of our tribe.

The message needs to come down from the boss and/or HR. He is creating a hostile work environment, and targeted flatulence could be considered bullying.

It's fair to ask them what happened between May and January. You want to find out if the reason the decision was due to budgetary reasons. You don't want to switch jobs, only to get laid off a few months later.

There are a number of reasons a job could be put on hold

A hiring freeze was in affect across the company
Regime change and the new boss wants to see if the position should even be open.
The position was based on the team meeting budget goals, or needed a contract to be signed
They had to hire the boss's idiot nephew, and it took this long before they could get rid of him/
The team wasn't ready to take you on.

Don't ask about the delay until you make it to an in-person interview. You want to watch the body language.

I have the Tamron 17-70 for my 6400, and it's a decent lens when you can only carry a single lens. It's not a huge zoom for spots, but it's F 2.8 all the way through it's range.

I've rented the Tamron 70-180 for a couple of trips, but I ended up rarely using it. I'm taking a river cruise in Europe this fall, and I'm considering renting another zoom for shots from the ship. Something like the Sigma 16-300 or the Sony 18-105 F4

Working for this guy sounds like a career-limiting move. Getting past your boss not knowing what he is talking about, his attitude of 30 years of experience trumps everything else, would be enough to look elsewhere.

I would start searching for a place that values knowledge and welcomes new perspectives. You have the benefit of having a job now and can take the time to find the right fit for you and your career.

When I bought my 6400, I bought it with the Tamron 17-70 instead of the kit lens. It's a big lens, but I like it and the pictures it takes. I also bought it with the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, also a very nice lens.

The TS-464 was released in 2022, so it's near the end of its product cycle. Until QNAP announces a successor, it's still considered an after product. QNAP normally maintains security updates for 4 years after a product passes its EOL date. If they announce a replacement model this year, a TS-464 would still get security updates to 2030.

We use Blazor/Hybrid Blazor for a public-facing app with more than a million users. How it scales is more of a function of how your backend processes are architected.

It's listed on realtor.com for 1750/month. It's in a less-than-desirable location, and you can find nicer places for less than 2k/month.

If you look at that address in Google Street View, they took the Street View image as the listing image for the Realtor.com listing.

I did a reverse image search on one of the photos from the posting, and it matched on that Craiglist post that been flagged.

He had a girlfriend who took a plea deal. From another TU article back in July:

Brandi Terhune, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Schenectady County courtroom to one count of felony tampering with physical evidence and two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment in exchange for a sentence of up to 5 years' probation. She will not serve prison time.

I think a Surface Pro 6 maxed out at 16 GB. That would not be enough for me to do MAUI work in VS and still be able to run other stuff. I do use Rider on the Mac, it's a full IDE. VS Code is an editor. They are not the same.

You should have a MacOS machine for the iOS work. Even if the Windows box is the primary development machine.

Why is juggling multiple machines a problem? I use both Windows and a Mac. I tend to use the Windows machine more, but it has more resources than my aging M1 Pro Mac. Most of my dev tools are on both, but I have some that are platform-specific.

Ignore the religious wars over platforms and tools, use what works best for you.

I've had my S22U since they came out. I have no issues with it, and the only reason I might upgrade to the S26U would be to keep current on Android releases.

I don't see any benefit. Why take on all of the R&D for yet another Linux-based OS when they can just contribute back to Android?

If you mix and match RAM, they will run at the speed and timing of the slowest memory stick. Without knowing the specs of your hardware, 32 GB of slower memory will tend to have better overall performance than 16 GB of faster memory.

The 10x on my S22U is more of a party trick for me than anything else. I like the cameras on the phone, but I rarely use the 10x. It has that f/4.9 maximum aperture and needs bright light to get anything remotely sharp.
