@Vixen I plan on being as offensive as possible.

@Gąska You're well on your way.

I'm defending my bachelor's thesis this Saturday.
Is that something you have to do for a bachelor's in Poland?
Yup. 60 pages of pure bullshit, describing a 10kloc application that does pure bullshit.
Edit: on the upside, a degree usually takes only 3 years instead of 4. And it's absolutely free! (Except for weekend college. Then it's 4 years and you pay tuition as normal. Although you can work full time in the meantime, so you're still ahead financially, since the tuition is like $500-$700/semester.)

Fucking millennials, crying in the bathroom for free!
I thought they needed special places/rooms for that?
Most universities don't have dungeons, unfortunately.
in my experience..... they don't have them on publicly available plans, but if they've been around for any length of time there's bound to be an unused and (half) forgotten room that some enterprising soul has converted to serve as a dungeon....
Ah yes. My boss's office. Everyone is scared to go in there…
:gasp: Milton is your boss??

Yeah, I've never heard of a bachelor's thesis. A Master's thesis, yes. (I lucked out - didn't need to do one, all I needed was the course credits [USC])

@Vixen I plan on being as offensive as possible.
Just imagine that your jury is Levicki.

@dcon I had to do a senior thesis, but I didn't have to defend it in the same way as my doctoral one.

I believe we can go either way; most people in grad school these days do the equivalent of course credits (it's not quite identical, but it's very similar) but there's still the option of doing a thesis and getting a Masters that way. I'm one of the few around the department to have actually done that (because I could combine it with work more easily).
Only a PhD defense will have a viva with us.

I don't like this post for several reasons, but the most important one is that you'll have to be more specific...
EDIT: That sounded funnier and slightly less offensive in my head. Oh well, not going to it now...

And one of the effects, aside from not wasting students' and teachers' time on something so utterly pointless, is that the remaining theses are of much higher quality.

well...... if you care about the assholes around you, that's like really not healthy cause it just stresses you out for no benefit.
but if you don't care...... well then no stress no fuss, no mess. it's awesome!
or I suppose you could whip it out (or strap it on as your anatomy requires) and peg the assholes..... that's fun too/

QOOCbait. Not taking it.

No, their bots just don't have a proper response for you in their database.

@levicki yup. Async method must return Task, not void! (Green squiggles would help catch that BTW.) But otherwise it looks fine. Maybe the progressHandler will print a bit too often since it doesn't check how much progress was made, but that's all. And you might take issue with hardcoded string if you're really pedantic, but if this is the whole program, who cares.
-
Async method must return Task, not void!
no, an async method can return void. that means the call returns void instead of a Task which means that there is no way to determine when the task has completed, nor cancel it, nor inspect wether it completed successfully or threw an error.
so...... it's bad practice to have it return void..... but you totes can..... just be aware you took the safety off your minigun...... and chambered for 00 buck..... and took it off its regular mount and put it on the worst tripod ever so the direction it's pointing at any given time is more or less random.
but you Can do it, it's even legal in redneck country.

@levicki yup.

Woah there! I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Mine was certainly deeply boring and worth about as much as a pile of whale dreck. The software with it had some bits and pieces of merit, but is wildly out of date now (and was so a decade ago).
-
@Vixen language lawyering is hard when there's no official spec. There's at least one version of Visual Studio that will kill the process after first await in async void Main. There's at least two versions of Visual Studio where async void Main is explicitly disallowed. There's at least one version of Visual Studio that does the "right" thing with async void Main. And the official proposal for async Main only specifies behavior when the return type is Task. So, yeah.

I'm pretty sure the first one was correct.

I'm curious
Since I've been on a fix-all-the-warnings binge today, I decided to revisit this problem (because, yes, it's still complaining that it serialized a class for a property that will apparently be nullptr'd).
So, setting a breakpoint and seeing what happens...

@boomzilla @ben_lubar Is there a way for this forum to also not show blocked user's avatar in Replies at the bottom of my own post, just like it doesn't show the reply itself?
It would also be fair if people you block cannot downvote you because you cannot downvote them either.
Finally, can somebody with mod/admin authority please tell this moron to stop replying to my posts already? I disengaged because I and everyone else wanted it to end and I hope you all see now who is the real asshole.
Thanks in advance.
That's the thing with people like @Gąska, they may be annoying sometimes, but they are also right sometimes.

Boy, I'd love to show you that one browser addon I have. It could do this exact thing for you! Too bad you

Not that this matters anyway. I don't downvote.

Please don't. That would seriously hurt my salt mine business.
Okay, I'll stop mocking him. But still gonna reply on technical posts, on the off chance someone wants to learn something.

I can. But I won't. You can unblock him and tell him yourself if you want to.

It's not. Your ability to make a coherent argument is sometimes inadequate, but your command of the English language is fine. I've read much worse from people for whom English is an official language of their native country.

It's a shame I can't share this wonderful Web 0.1 document that was sent to me at work. It's a printout of a schedule, with writing made by a whiteboard marker on it, then photographed (probably on a wooden table) and printed. Then the printed document was copied and one of the copies was scanned and the resulting image sent to me in a PDF.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
I cannot but wonder why the same does not seem to apply to him?
My guess is, we're accustomed to him, and not to you. Maybe raise the question again in 8 years.

You're welcome to talk to Jeff Atwood about it. I'm sure he'd be all ears.

There's a keyboard shortcut for that: Ctrl+Q

I'm sure it's possible.

This sounds like a personal problem.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Didn't you want me to stop arguing with him?
arguing no. having a flaming row, yeah it would be nice.... but it's not really my place to demand.
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Why are you suggesting I unblock him and continue?
i'm not. i'm suggesting you unblock them because it's rude to shun someone. whether or not you have another flaming row with them is entirely separate matter.
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Why don't you support my effort to be better than him instead?

Almost everyone here is an asshole according to everyone else. Some people are even assholes according to themselves.

That's why I thought I'd fit right in when I joined.
Sadly, it seems that all those different strains of assholism exhibited here are incompatible with mine.
All strains of "assholism" are incompatible with each other. That's part of the inherent nature of that condition. But most of the regulars have learned to ignore the pain points and just chalk it up to the other side being an ass. Which is uniformly true, so...

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
I hope you all see now who is the real asshole.
Yes: the who resorts to blocking people.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
a stubborn idiot who argues with you in bad faith
At this point..... I'm going to say that from our perspective...... you may want to look in a mirror.
@levicki said in WTF Bites:

it's not that they're incompatible. it's that everyone else that I have observed doesn't get butthurt when they get called out on being an asshole, nor do they generally assume that the target of their anger is the one doing the whole "downvoting to oblivion" to them when they have said they were not the one what was doing it.
If you let it go i think you'll find that you have a much more pleasant and non adversarial experience.
-
@levicki said in WTF Bites:

But it is not rude to shun people by downvoting them into oblivion because of HOW they say something even when WHAT they are saying is right?
And this is exactly why I was supporting public downvotes so strongly.
