Git or SVN ?

Git is overwhelmingly more popular than SVN (Subversion) in the current landscape of version control systems.

Here's a summary of the popularity comparison:

• Dominant Leader: Git has been the undisputed leader for over a decade. Recent surveys, like the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, consistently show Git adoption rates well over 90%. For example, in 2025, Git's usage is estimated to be around 93.87%.
  
  
  
• SVN's Decline: SVN, while once widely used (it was the dominant system before Git), has seen a significant decline in popularity. Its usage is now typically in the low single digits, around 5% according to recent data.
  
  
  
• Reasons for Git's Popularity:Distributed Nature: Git is a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS), meaning every developer has a full copy of the repository. This allows for offline work, faster commits, and a more robust system with no single point of failure.

How to turn off Chimes in Microsoft Access

Ready to get rid of those annoying chimes . . . 

Open your Access database.

Go to File > Options. This will open the Access Options dialog box.

In the Access Options dialog box, click on the "Client Settings" tab. You'll find this on the left-hand side of the window.

Scroll down to the "General" section.
Look for the setting labeled "Provide feedback with sound."

Uncheck the box next to "Provide feedback with sound." This will disable most of the built-in sound effects in Access.

Click "OK" to save your changes.

Here's what actually worked for me . . .

Change system sounds > Windows > Exclamation > None
