Shit shit shit, I just remembered I haven’t attended English class all semester.

Shit shit shit, I can’t remember my locker combination, and I can’t find the orientation sheet that has it, also I can’t find my class schedule, I have no idea what class I’m supposed to be in right now.

Plus a few other variations. All High School. I dunno why the focus on High School, I’m 34. I get one of these once or twice a month.

Exactly who I was thinking of. I actually really appreciate that they evolved their music, instead of just doing the same things for 15 years.

Was intrigued until step one of “Getting Started”:

Install Node.js 20 LTS

That’s gonna be a “no” from me.

I had the exact same question, did the exact same thing, and had the exact same response. EVERYONE does this, it’s infuriating. If you’re going to have a public-facing info page about your project or product, you need to assume that people know NOTHING about it.

KeePass on my phone and desktop, with the master file sync’d automatically to the server in my basement.

The XZ exploit was found because some dude was investigating performance issues in a system, and noticed an unusual amount of time being spent in SSH processing, IIRC.

The most recent annual report, for 2022, showed the charity made almost $4m that year, while its expenses were just under $4.2m.

A $200k budget shortfall with $4m revenue is not a “we’re insolvent” situation, it’s a “we need to cut $200k worth of events and other expenses” situation. I wonder what the full story is here?

So, you’re a tech nerd who wants an addictive game?

Factorio.

Also Satisfactory, but I’m not sure how well it runs on Linux. Fairly sure Factorio will run on just about anything

Windows 11 has ads NOW, in the enterprise install I’m provided at work.

Because that’s type inference. The exact thing the article is arguing against. And that this comment is saying is nice.

For work, I have 2 monitors, and my docked laptop. The main two monitors are hugely beneficial for software development, as I can reference design docs or requirements while writing code, or I can have the debugger running on one screen, while the app runs on the other.

The laptop screen is where Teams and Outlook sit, so I can glance over at messages from the team, and maybe respond, without having to swap around any of my workspace.

I think it’s a fallacy to say that you can or should build an application layer that’s completely DBMS agnostic. Even if you are very careful to only write SQL queries with features that are part of the official SQL standard, you’re still coupled to your particular DBMS’s internal implementations for query compilation, planning, optimization, etc. At enterprise scale, there’s still going to be plenty of queries that suddenly perform like crap, after a DBMS swap.

In my mind, standardization for things like ODBC or Hibernate or Entity Framework or whatever else isn’t meant to abstract away the underlying DBMS, it’s meant to promote compatibility.

Not to mention that you’re tying your own hands by locking yourself out of non-standard DBMS features, that you could be REALLY useful to you, if you have the right use-cases. JSON generation and indexing is the big one that comes to mind. Also, geospatial data tables.

For context, my professional work for the past 6 years is an Oracle/.NET/Browser application, and we are HEAVILY invested in Oracle. Most notably, we do a LOT of ETL, and that all runs exclusively in the DBMS itself, in PL/SQL procedures orchestratedbbybthe Oracle job scheduler. Attempting to do this kind of data manipulation by round-tripping it into .NET code would make things significantly worse.

So, my opinion could definitely be a result of what’s been normalized for me, in my day job. But I’ve also had a few other collaborative side projects where I think the “don’t try and abstract away the DBMS” advice holds true.

I’ll take this over the more “classic” styles, when people seed to believe they were paying the compiler by the character.

Not really, no.

The point is that everyone does have them, but only rarely are they visible to the human eye.

I know folks in the C# Discord have talked about getting WinForms to work on Linux, you could post a question there. But unless you’re specifically dealing with maintaining some legacy app, you should not be using WinForms, much less on Linux. Avalonia or Xamarin are definitely the way to go if you’re making something new and want cross-platform desktop support.

Protip if you do go down that route: Tutorials tend to ignore the fact that you don’t have to use XAML to make anything in these frameworks. You should. But if it’s more comfortable for you to write WinForms-style imperative code that you’re used to, you 100% can, the APIs are not significantly different.

Can I get an Oracle version?

Bye.

Dark & Stormy is my favorite, from what I’ve tried

Apparently trained on 4chan?
