1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

What was the most annoying non answer you have received as a reply to your technical post ?
Example
...I am trying to download Linux and having this issue...
"answer"
...I do not know anything about Linux, my XYX operating system works great...

I would have to say that is probably one of the most heinous responses possible. Even seeing it in response to questions I didn't ask raises my hackles.

A while ago I suggested that Kotlin may be destined to replace Java, with several members skeptical about that statement. Yesterday I bought a new book: Kotlin Programming by Bailey et al. Here are some quotes from the book:
Kotlinβs scope quickly grew from a language with a bright future into the language powering applications on the worldβs foremost mobile operating system. Today, large companies like Google, Uber, Netflix, Capital One, Amazon, and more have embraced Kotlin for its many advantages, including its concise syntax, modern features, and seamless interoperability with legacy Java code.
However, since Java was released in 1995, much has been learned about what makes for a good programming language. Java is missing the many advancements that developers working with more modern languages enjoy.
Greenhalgh, David; Skeen, Josh. Kotlin Programming (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) (p. 19). Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.
I am convinced that the long term future for Java is a little bleak. Now that I feel that I am slowly conquering Kotlin, I feel that I am on the right track. Oh! For the love of Kotlin!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

You've just kindled my interest for learning Kotlin, at my age of 56 years!
Which IDE would you recommend- Android Studio or JetBrains?

... because Microsoft is introducing "audio cues" to VS: Visual Studio 2022 Release Notes | Microsoft Docs[^]
And it's configurable sounds, too.
OK, ATM it defaults to off, but some annoying little child is going to bring in his clips and cubes will get noisy.
Dumb idea, MS. Just dumb.

too funny. In the mid 90s I did development on Sun SparcStations that had audio. Had an error slaved to "Doh!"

Also in the 90s. I worked in a cube farm and one of the lead devs had a laser blast tone as his email notification - a guy who got *lots* of email. One morning before he got in I replaced his tone with an obnoxious sheep baa (he was from New Zealand). He wandered around a bit trying to find who did it but we were all laughing so hard he couldn't figure out who actually did it. He was laughing as hard as we were so he really didn't stand a chance.

The day I'm required to code in a cube farm (or worse - in a open office) is the day I quit.

I used them back in the day, well the events breakpoint and the like, but then I did use headphones.

So, I get an email from Google telling me I have until Sep 30th to set up billing for my Workspace Business starter account. For which, I have no recollection. So, I connect (after resetting my forgotten password). There is email in there, the newest item from Feb 2013. I guess I had this "try it you will like it plan" some 9 years ago. Go Figure.
Don't plan to set up any billing, wonder if they will carry me for another 9?

If you want to keep it, they backed down from forcing those accounts to be paid. You can promise them[^] it's a non-business account and it will stay free.
