@ScholRLEA @ben_lubar I believe that "what's appropriate punishment in a case of adultery or rape" is quite far from "how to correctly rape".

RE: Visual Studio + ASP.Net Core + Angular TypeScript debugging
I managed to turn on source map generation.
If I set a breakpoint in app.component.ts in Visual Studio, it doesn't do anything and it tells me that "breakpoint not yet bound".
Now if I hunt for the app.component.ts file in Chrome Devtools and set a breakpoint and hit it, now it is being hit in VS too, but in a different instance of app.component.ts that says (under the tab, over the editor) that it belongs to "Script Documents" but is nowhere visible under Script Documents in Solution Explorer. -

RE: Windows 10 upgrade causes marital bliss, AKA, The official over-sharing thread
@marczellm said:
How about changing the title to "Windows 10 causes extended discussion on masturbation techniques"?
I like that title, but I do love the TDWTF meme of having faux "official" threads.
I will meditate on this further...
What about "The Official Windows 10 Jack Off Thread"?
I am a lojban speaker and will chose to translate "explicit" as "pavysmu" and not "glefi'a".
Yes, there are explicit sites. There are also a few implicit sites.
is the obsession with lojban over here?

RE: Visual Studio + ASP.Net Core + Angular TypeScript debugging
if you are using webpack, references in the source map file include the webpack:/// prefix, which prevents Visual Studio from finding a TypeScript or JSX source file. Specifically, when you correct this for debugging purposes, the reference to the source file (such as app.tsx), must be changed from something like webpack:///./app.tsx to something like ./app.tsx, which enables debugging (the path is relative to your source file).
so I have to edit the webpack configuration file, which doesn't exist.

That is TR . It is a disservice to teach students MATLAB when Python can do it better and is a real general language.
Python can't even draw a simple graph without yanking in like 26 dependencies.What do you think is MATLAB doing over the, I don't know, 3 minutes it takes to start? Or in the ~4 GB it occupies?

Not to mention that, for the tasks it's designed for, MATLAB kicks python down the stairs and then does unspeakable things to its dying corpse.

RE: In case HTML changes the spec one day, again

RE: In case HTML changes the spec one day, again
I've heard that for a long time our 'excel export' was a CSV file with an
.xls
extension. Excel would open this correctly and without warnings.Are you sure? For
.csv
files that are indeed comma separated, Excel doesn't recognizes the columns, because it expects semicolon separated values. -

RE: Windows 10 automatically installing :shit:
Windows has automatically downloaded and installed drivers and related apps for... what, a decade now? I can't remember if it was in Windows 2000, but it was definitely in Windows XP.

@The_Quiet_One @Zecc Are you on Windows 10? Try the version of Skype that's in the Windows Store. It's not Electron but React Native/ReactXP (welcome to the MS naming department) so it might be slightly better, or equally usefully to us here, worthy of its own WTFs. At the least you get rid of the custom updater.

@flabdablet said:Install Debian Testing with Xfce
Now there's another problem of mine: the zillion different versions of Linux, which increases to roughly zillion squared when multiplied by the number of different releases within distros, zillion cubed when taking into account the combinations of each distro with each window manager, and this implies zillion to the fourth different linear combinations of bugs. Windows does have bugs, but at least when it does, the solution is wait a while until they fix it. Linux distros seem to be proliferating based on the principle of some random guy using an existing distro, then exclaiming "This distro sucks because of X" and creating his own version of The One True distro. Which is gonna suck because of W, Y and Z. It's even worse when X is not a bug but a "philosophical flaw".When I started university I thought "well, we get free access to Windows with MSDNAA / DreamSpark, so I'll use it for my desktop OS until I graduate and then I'll switch to Linux, most probably Ubuntu." Now, especially with the promise of infinite support for Windows 10, and scared by the above explained infinite maze of open source, I'm like "no way, man!"
Take http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php for example. Even if I understand what "codecs" and "64-bit edition" means (which is totally Hebrew for most people, say, my mum), I still have to decide between Cinnamon and MATE. And I don't have a clue what either of those are, and this choice is perpendicular to the purpose of an operating system: to let you do things.
Unfortunately the config file format is terse and odd, and the documentation sucks.
Which applies for an enormously big subset of the entire open source world.
