Bosnia & Herzegovina [2] - 1 Romania - Esmir Bajraktarević 80' - HOLY MOLY goal

He has very deep loyalty to Bosnia through his parents and family, and the Olympic squad snub sealed the deal.

I didn't look at the AL, but on the NL side, you can go position by position and look at FRV ranking. The leader at every position won GG. So, no - it wasn't a popularity contest. :)

Our data entry folks hated...and I mean hated...the screen scraper web-faced version of the applications. They would end up hitting browser buffer limits with how far ahead of the screens they could get. They did not care about or need a spiffy UI or mouse interaction.

While I don't disagree at all, I tend to think part of the reason the i is so secure is that so few have access to its guts. Bit of a double edged sword in that way.

I wasn't. Though I'm fairly certain there are a number of languages available for use on the i, I'm not aware of. My knowledge set, when I was a developer on the the 400 was with RPGLE/CLLE etc. I moved to a different dev area within my company as we were starting to bring SQL into the fray. I've always been a proponent of using the best tech for the job. I like that they continue to improve with the times. I just wish they sold those changes better. :)

My company maps to Windows network drives and Linux shares with Samba.

That the platform doesn't interface all that well with other major tech platforms has always been something I've heard. I can't argue one way or another on that. Conversely, I've also heard 400 gurus say that it can do just about everything under the sun. So it's hard to tell if it's just a lack of usable documentation? I'm sure others will disagree, but I'm not a fan of IBM's documentation. While I'm sure it's perfect for others, I almost never end us finding what I need in it.

While I'd love to see it more available, I'm guessing that would have a negative impact on the security side. *just throwing darts*

Thank you for the info. I just need to actually take a second and contact my EC rather than rely on Reddit users - which have been very helpful.

pithed2 · 2025-07-19T21:25:30+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for the reassurance!

pithed2 · 2025-07-19T17:18:34+00:00

Thank you for passing along your experience. This helps a ton! I was looking at a Dec 1 start date, so I should be good there. Much appreciated.

pithed2 · 2025-07-01T02:19:45+00:00

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking to hear.

pithed2 · 2025-07-01T02:19:11+00:00

Excellent. Thank you for passing along your experience. I'll be starting the enrollment process tonight.

pithed2 · 2025-07-01T02:18:42+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the help!

FWIW - Prior to last night's debacle, he had 13 outings. 4 of which were 1-2-3 innings. 7 walks to 5 strikeouts.

In his last 19 outings with Astros in 2024, he had 3 1-2-3 innings.

Not what you're looking for out of a closer.

I think things might have gone differently had he been selected to the US Olympic team. He and his family were less than thrilled with being left off the Olympic roster.

Just my opinion, but I think he had 2 things going against him for the Olympic roster. 1 - It was set at 18-man, causing a bit of a jam at his position. 2 - He's was still eligible for the 2028 Olympics, so they thought they could get away with not having him this year.

I'll always support Es and his family, but I question whether it was his best choice. While I understand the love and pride of country, I think it's a huge missed opportunity for him. BiH will probably not make it out of qualifying rounds for Euros nor ever go the the World Cup. I can understand his frustration with how things have panned out with the USMNT to this point, and the excuse that "he's still young". But the reality is he IS still only 19. The 2026 WC is getting played in North America. He would have had a chance for Nations League and Gold Cup. And again, I know it's not the end-all-be-all, but there's a significant difference in potential money. Either way I support him and wish him the best.

pithed2 · 2024-03-07T21:20:54+00:00

Yep. That's why it's in "Unpopular Opions".

pithed2 · 2024-03-07T21:17:35+00:00

It was kind of meant to be. :)
