My commute is usually 2/3rds "red/black striped" and 1/3rd "blood red".
That's also Dallas whenever there's snow or an ice storm. And to answer your obvious question, of course we can't drive here in bad weather; we can hardly drive in good weather!

I recommend you do not research source control, if any. If I do that I too often find the idiot was called @PleegWat.

did you work in Maine about five years back?
if so i may have found some of your old work.
:-D

You must be new at this.
Nah, it's basically an automated regression tester for the last week's refactor-slash-rewrite I did. Once it all goes green, I can safely cut it out along with the old code.
TRWTF is what I replaced the old code with (and that it's a third rewrite of that part), but that's another story. My "bang-HTML-write-to-temp-and-abuse-
Process.Start()
-to-open" test report generator is, by comparison, fairly straightforward...

I always plan to work on some personal project after work but no dice. I start

Cool story: as a teen, my dentist advised my parents that braces would help close a few gaps in my teeth correct some minor misalignments. My parents decided that such small corrections weren't worth a few thousand dollars, so I never got braces.

Status: Playing with the GPIO library on my Raspberry Pi, and I am unable to get any of the outputs to read on my voltmeter when enabled.
And Discourse ate my post.
Judging from which pins I read hot versus the pinout diagrams, no one anywhere has published the pinout for the new model and I'm measuring the wrong pins for the GPIO outputs I activated in code.
-
Shouldn't be too hard to figure the pinout out yourself, and write some translating/redefining macros if necessary?
Or just wait until someone inevitably gets to that...

Though, after all the web bullshit I dealt with I welcome the odd compile.

Editor? Maybe not.
Compiler? Should do.

-
How?
It's very much a runtime thing, isn't it?
Only if_manager
isDynamic
; if it'sObject
or a subclass thereof (exceptDynamic
obviously), the method accessibility check is done at compile time.
-
So you mean that something like
Dim testString as String = Nothing testString = testString.ToUpper()
should not compile?

-
String.ToUpper()
isn't Shared, either ...?Are you by any chance confusing it with a scope modifier?
VB.NET
Shared
is kind of sort of like C#'sstatic
