@izzion said in Visual Studio WTfs: I wouldn't want to be on either side of the bet that Framework 4.8 is going to be available in Windows 12. I can fairly confidently bet that it won’t be; if it ships with the OS it’ll be 4.8.1 or later. (It will be… interesting… if they put .NET Framework 4.x on the standalone-component train like 3.5 but not the VB6 runtime.)

@dkf Metaobjects I don't think C++ is the only language that either does not have meta-objects, or does not use them for instance allocation.

@dkf If it was yaml, all parsers would already support comm … but there wouldn't be any easy to install, standardish parser usable from shell.

@dkf said in RabbitMQ WTFs: @Bulb said in RabbitMQ WTFs: physicists are a lot more careful distinguishing the two things That's why there often classes called something like Duration and separate classes called TimeStamp or Instant or something like that. Those aren't simple concepts at all. Remember my old post about my genius cow-orkers converting temperatures and temperature differences between Celsius and Kelvin? Like 20C in office, 2C outside, difference 18C => 293K in office, 275K outside, difference 291K. That is obviously not a simple concept at all...

@topspin said in Lambdas everywhere!: @Gribnit speak for yourself. I wasn't.

@PleegWat did you died?

The fun part is that any change is a breaking change under the right conditions.... but what does it break exactly? and what is the allowed scope of breakage....

@TheCPUWizard said in Why, oh why, do we return empty things on error: My (serious) deepest condolences for your situation. TBH, I don't have a lot of stress at work and they pay me well. I would love to have a job where I can actually accomplish things, but I don't feel in need of condolences.

@Zecc said in Legacy of Anders Hejlsberg! The EmptyChar!: Booo! But you did enter it. You just can't render it. It's below 31.

@Zecc said in The obvious way to select units: @dkf said in The obvious way to select units: I can't see how that is relevant for dropping large meteors on a city. But meteors are hard to come by. They don't just fall out of the sky. Sometimes it's worth taking a bit of trouble to do the job right.

@Gribnit said in The Day Tsaukpaetra Died: You're drinking at least Trappist, yeah? Hopefully. This ain't no lager code. I noticed that regular beer didn't help, so I switched to whiskey. Worked like a charm.

@DoctorJones said in Walter way to create a zero day exploit. A.K.A. QNAP sucks at security: So, that's all pretty funny, some boneheaded developer leaves very harmful code in a production release. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's an easy mistake to make if he's an inexperienced, perhaps junior developer, or someone fresh out of university? My experience says otherwise. Sadly no. This guy has been the technical manager of QNAP since 2013. Yep, sounds about right. Orv at b least in line with experience.

@Rhywden said in Why, oh why....: @dcon I don't know? What's the function's signature? Sorry, should have addressed that to @TheCPUWizard with reference to your note about showing the parameter name!

@Gąska said in What's where?: @Tsaukpaetra on a programming forum? A what now?

My money would be it starting with two parameters, then needing to be expanded to support an arbitrary number of privileges.

@Unperverted-Vixen said in The default: Well, it should certainly be easy: SELECT f.* FROM Foo f JOIN Bar b ON b.foo_id = f.id WHERE b.is_default = 1 That's what I'm doing in SQL in one place, where I'm using native SQL anyway for different reasons. But making this kind of manual joins every time instead of just using the default behavior of the ORM is kind of tedious. Also, doing this gets you an incomplete entity and you need to remember not to persist it back into the database. @Unperverted-Vixen said in The default: The only reason I see to prefer the default_bar_id approach is that it makes uniqueness easier to enforce. That's for sure. And without uniqueness your query will produce duplicated Foos and break pagination. Which did in fact happen, because of course the original author didn't put any constraint in the DB , because he didn't know about partial indexes.

@BernieTheBernie said in Obfuscated Object Oriented Programming: Copyright by Kevin, of course. There's your problem.

Problem: A particular callback function “continue user activity” in SceneDelegate is only called when there is an instance of the app running before Link is clicked. i.e. Once the App instance is killed, this function is not called and universal links Do not work for iOS13+ Devices. As A result Universal Links are working fine only on lesser than iOS 13 devices
 Question: What am I doing wrong and what is the possible fix? Find my code and solution tried so far, here on StackOverflow

@PleegWat said in Is that an obfuscated retry?: But in contrast to var = var || value, the order in which the side effects occur is defined! In sane languages (so not C or C++) the order of evaluation, and hence the order of any side effects, that order is defined. (Before anyone makes this old mistake, the order of evaluation is nothing to do with operator associativity; associativity is about how you build the parse tree, whereas evaluation order is about how you traverse the parse tree.)

@BrisingrAerowing said in npm install if: Appears to be a joke, but you all know how that goes in nodeland (see left-pad). The sad thing is, it wasn't a joke. The whole left-pad fiasco happened because it was serious, because it was needed. (Which some might argue is the biggest joke of all, but... yeah.)

@loopback0 said in Threading in WPF: @hungrier said in Threading in WPF: @Tsaukpaetra manual arrows What's the opposite of ?

You can't derive from a double, nor can there be a T such that Convert.ChangeType results in a value that is a double. Well, of course, except when T is object, and the input value was a double to begin with (because if the target type is object it just returns the input value). So actually the original snippet was right(ish). Although I would rather just test typeof(T)==typeof(double) || typeof(T)==typeof(float), that's enough for this snippet, as far as I can tell.

@error Other way around. You group a list into a list of lists (where each sublist has the same prison id), and then sort each sublist on the fake rolex key.

@gleemonk I still don't see anything wrong with accounting for spaces in a path.

@sebastian-galczynski Found the problem: PHP.

@BernieTheBernie said in Cultural Issues: Kevin seems to have prepared the application for a future post-Brexit area when England will have left the United Kingdom. I mean, it's en_GB even now, not en_UK, so I don't see a problem... Filed under: Cue lucas1 telling me there's no such thing as Great Britain

@BernieTheBernie But does it cause problems if you feed the Width of 100,12 into something else? If not, then I don’t see why you should worry about it. In fact it will save troubling yourself to get it to display numbers in localised format (something that bugs me about most web sites I see that aren’t in English: their number notation is).

@Zecc But thanks for the link. I was too lazy to check if Salt had something like that, my DevOps knowledge is limited to "I can do things with Ansible; alternatives to it include Puppet, Chef, Salt, etc. And it's trendy to shit on Docker now."

@Gąska Smooth!

@Bulb said in exec: The script then goes on to ... docker

@Gąska You wouldn't get anything for the real expansion ("Microsoft Foundation Classes") because that's on MSDN. (Seriously though, it's retired content, not just MSDN-shuffled. You have to download it like some sort of animal.)

@Jaloopa said in MessageBox: @Tsaukpaetra said in MessageBox: @blakeyrat said in MessageBox: @TheCPUWizard said in MessageBox: System.Environment.UserInteractive I guess that would work for the .NET version of MessageBox. I dunno, maybe it's a non-issue. I just wasn't aware of any way that any library code could tell whether the app running it had a GUI. How do I detect that my application is running as service or in an interactive session? I'm writing an application that is able to run as a service or standalone but I want to detect if the application was executed as a service or in a normal user session. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243330 The Old New Thing Yeah, I've found that an App started from the crash recovery thing doesn't have the same working directory as you'd expect, and a plugin I'm using is not okay with that.
