I love channels in .NET. I use them in our .NET web services to pass work items from controllers to background services without having to directly couple the controller & background service classes.

Crucially, "5" might also be the key to a thousand different records in dozens of other development & QA databases for applications with integrations configured incorrectly. Integers can match coincidentally. UUIDs won't.

And it was American innovation that made the use of that census data possible for both countries thanks to Herman Hollerith's punch cards & tabulators and Thomas Watson's greed leading IBM to furnish the Nazis with that techno

I wish more of my colleagues used early returns. I regularly find myself four or five levels of indentation deep because of nested if statements when we could've bailed 30 lines ago and saved the cognitive load.

Many of my colleagues in India write comma-first column expressions in their SQL queries because if they have to add a column, it's a one-line edit, which I'll admit is nice when looking at a diff. But I just can't bring myse

I built a tool for helping a trailer park management company track numerous eviction lawsuits. I didn't complete before being reassigned, but I never should've started it.

"Just" always does a lot of work, but "just" is doing a hell of a lot of work in this case. Who's doing the work to create the patch? Who's paying for the work? Who's doing QA, and who's paying for th

Microsoft is much better about backwards compatibility and preservation than Sony, too. I have a library of Xbox and Xbox 360 discs I can just put in my Xbox Series X and still play, often with improvements. I can even still buy many titles

I've had success with two techniques, though they require patience. First is setting a few short, firm rules about the specific implementations in a project's code. For example, one of my commandments is, "Do not log from lib

Your class names, variable names, and method names have plenty of centuries' worth of context in them anyway whether you like it or not, not to mention the comments and documentation. I think you'd benefit from looking at writing

There are almost 7.9 billion living people. There are more literate people on the planet than any other time in history. The corpus of private correspondence produced daily is huge, and you will never see more than a tiny sliver of it. Ther

I sold an old 42" LCD on Craigslist this week. The person who bought it was getting it for her kid's apartment. She did not know much about televisions and had a lot of questions. One of the first questions she asked was, "Do

I understand better now, you are really applying "dark" to the infrastructure (which happens to have fiber-optic cable) rather than to the fiber itself. The infrastructure is figuratively dark, and the fiber is literally lit.

by FroshKiller 5y ago
I thought "dark fiber" meant unused fiber. How can it be dark if you've got services running over it? Is there some other meaning in this context?

It's a little small of you since file extensions generally have no actual relation to formats. There's nothing stopping you from naming yours .wbp, although I wouldn't expect most programs to accommodate you. I just changed o

The root domain is pronounced "goat sex," although from the earliest days I'd heard of it, people were referring to it as just "goatsie" domain name goatse.

Your email would probably be valid according to the pattern in the screenshot, which expects a TLD between two and four characters. Not sure what Facebook has to do with it, but your address is probably "normal" to Sony.

The validator in the screenshot doesn't check for a specific list. The examples .pizza and .website would not validate because the pattern expects a TLD between two and four characters long.

by FroshKiller 5y ago
Well, a "normal" user probably wouldn't have an email address with one of those TLDs, for what it's worth.

This is also true in the US, although I would add that being down for something connotes a tiny bit more enthusiasm than being up for it, since "down" is also used in the context of making a commitment, e.g. "put me down for
