That looks like nonsensical output from a bad Markov chain. But that's real code I just wrote, and it works.

Currying higher order functions?

That's what it looks like it might be to me too. Depends on the definition of

though. And which language.

MAUI is just renamed Xamarin. I see it works just as well as before.

It seems to be failing because it's looking for preview packages on Nuget that don't exist (which were, ostensibly, already installed by the
maui-check
utility).

It's awesome if you can provide a utility that automatically sets everything up for you, but it doesn't relieve you from the responsibility of documenting how to set up everything manually (in case your tool doesn't work).</soapbox>

Before I became a consultant, I was told by managers to start slacking off more. Well, not in those exact words. But apparently, I was suspiciously more productive then most of the programmers at the place which had them worried.
The same managers also told me that they were very perplexed about how whenever they came into my office I was always goofing off browsing some silly not-work page or other but I still seemingly got a lot of stuff done. That discussion I had both before and after I was told to slack off more.As a consultant, I've never been told I work too fast. Nor while working with my father as an entrepreneur.
Edit; Well... The last contract-not-being-extended comes close to "working too fast" since they told me I was overqualified for the work.

@Carnage At my last job (over a decade ago, I've been an Initech drone for a long time), I tried in earnest to impress everyone. I put in tons of (unpaid) overtime, and eagerly accepted new responsibilities.
All it got me was severe burnout, more work, and no extra money. I got called a "rockstar" a lot, but beyond that, no tangible benefits. I was making about a third of what I make today.

Yep. You will not even get a thanks for working harder, so why bother. I don't take jobs where I get monthly salary without extra compensation for overtime. And if I work overtime, it's expensive so that they'd rather not.

Not sure I agree with that sentiment. When taken far enough, it essentially becomes an argument against having build systems.

It's great if you have an automated build, but you should also document what it's doing in case it doesn't work.
So you're saying you shouldn't have an automated build.

Status: Second Moderna shot. Either the tech was good or something--barely felt anything and no bleeding (normally I have a bit when I get a shot). So far, so good. A little of weird feeling on that side of my face, almost like the Bell's Palsy I had last year (but weaker). Which would be interesting if the real cause of that (which was never determined) was that I had gotten COVID at that point.
Don't have time this weekend to have severe side effects.

So you're saying you shouldn't have an automated build."Document what it does" != "how to set up everything manually". I'm all for the former, but the latter quickly devolves into "don't automate anything that is too complex to be done by hand".

All I'm saying is the doesn't , and it sure would be nice if there was a Plan B for that scenario.
-
@error you were saying much more before but whatever. Yeah, sure, it would be nice if things that don't work could work, and the devs thought of your personal situation when working on software meant for everyone. I mean, I'm the one who ranted about Microsoft not having enough foresight to think I may want to keep using my laptop after the GPU got totally busted.

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:
"don't automate anything that is too complex to be done by hand".
I literally had to do-by-hand a 17 step process (repeated 89 times) yesterday because an automated process that was supposed to queue and store some data silently dropped invalid data. Had the documentation for how to shove my little prick in not existed I would have possibly required two weeks to figure out how to do it from the spaghetti of code.
Granted, I would not want to do it manually if at all feasibly avoidable, but I'm grateful that it was even possible in the first place.
Anyways...
Status: Trying my hand at OBS layouts for streaming using art assets not built-for-purpose. Wish me luck?

@Tsaukpaetra 89 times 17 is nothing. Manually building a mid-sized C++ project without using Make or any other build system is easily thousands of commands to run, each one about 500 characters long.

Yes, and? How does that "quickly devolves into don't automate anything that is too complex to be done by hand"? Further discussion elsewhere, if you may.

The unit has seemingly died shortly after boot. The power button beeps and the light turns on, but then shortly turns off and does not interact further without being unplugged.
Whelp!

Yah, but they're using superfine needles (at least over here) so you hardly feel then needle going in.

wxWidgets (wxsqlite3)
And I just fixed my memory leak. The sample program didn't call
wxSQLite3Database::ShutdownSQLite();
on shutdown.

@dcon Having glanced through the docs, SQLiteCpp seems to be a bit of a better binding that uses more of C++ (but not as much it should) to produce a way to interact with the DB that works better.
