Beginners frequently trip over `&str` vs `String`, but other than that I agree w/ you

That's an awfully uncharitable reading of that sentence. Let me emphasize this for you: >Snowden’s revelations have hurt the United States’ relations with some allies and slowed the sales of U.S. technology products abroad.

Can it handle stored procs / UDFs? Was unable to find this in the docs...

>CREATE UNIQUE INDEX (filtered) Ha...that's a bit of a hack! I've had to do a similar trick for a unique constraint on columns where we didn't care if the value was null. SQL Server (for some reason) considers null a val

Here's a left outer join (taken from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3404975/left-outer-join-... ) from c in categories join p in products on c.Category equals p.Category into ps from p in ps

>LINQ Ehhh...something as simple as a left-outer join is near ungrokkable for me in LINQ. Cross apply / lateral join on a table-valued function? Forget about it. Not to mention - due to the way LINQ works a lot of errors that seem

What? There's nothing racist/sexist about acknowledging that racism/sexism isn't as much of a problem for certain groups of people. And I'm pretty far from being an SJW. Being this disingenuous does nothing but w

This might be a little out of scope, but C#/.NET has a few similar constructs. If you do: using(TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()){ //do stuff } Any connection created while that block is

Reads more like good-natured ribbing imo. We've all been there.

Then we're back to using a GUI, which is what I was arguing for in the first place lol

Good to know, although I'm still not impressed with its presentation when doing larger diffs.

by Mouse47 9y ago
Maybe in the general case, but not in the scenario I outlined above. What if there are 20 files I touched? I'll need to type each of the 20 paths to view each individual diff. And that's if I view each diff only once, which I d

by Mouse47 9y ago
Yeah -- I use sourcetree almost exclusively. Why would I want to type 'git status' and then 'git diff long/path/to/my/file.txt' when I could just click on the file in the changes list?

Stupid question, since I'm not sober...why doesn't ArcBorrow just store a reference to the Arc and also a reference to the underlying T? That would solve the double indirection and also give the ability to clone the Arc? Great ef

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Every bit of what you're saying is true.

>What is easier having to have this conversation EVERY time the term gets used for the rest of eternity, or making the change once and being done with it? That's not very compelling. Just because certain people make a lot of noise

by Mouse47 9y ago
I'm fine with an argument based solely on its technical merits. But then you're going to lose out to things like backwards compatibility and the sheer force of momentum - everyone understands these terms. There are probably hundr

I'm arguing specifically against the term being offensive. EDIT: and oddly, I can't seem to find the word anywhere in your comment that I replied to. Am I losing my mind, or did you take that part out?
82.
by Mouse47 9y ago
I agree that the terminology doesn't matter, but consensus does. Master/slave are the commonly understood terms. Here's a question: if "slave" is offensive, should "kill" (as in 'kill 69' to ki

Oh I know -- powershell's my weapon of choice here. And it doesn't help when the previous developers decided to store action/controller names in the database...lol.

Yup. I've seen 55+ year old programmers write what was essentially a message queue persisted in a database table, processed by a cron job. We frequently had problems with duplicate processing of messages, due to multiple cron jobs ru

I hope so. Part of the problem is I think I'm a slow thinker, so when talking on technical concepts, people have a tendency to blow by me when I need clarification on the things they said three sentences ago. And once I finally get c

.NET MVC is really bad when it comes to this. I'm not sure what problem they were trying to solve, but referring to a specific controller-action by using Url.Action("Controller", "Action", "Area") was a

It's also an extremely narrow, ignorant view of ability/intelligence in general. I've never struggled with math or CS at any time in my life, cruised through college, but I find myself agonizing over the stark difference in
