We've implemented making space in a graph drawing a few years ago where a user would basically say that they want some free space somewhere in an existing drawing and everything else should shift in a way to clear that space, but also

Baby swimming here (Germany) included not throwing them in the water, but placing them underwater manually for a short time; basically a very short dive. This works for infants because they have a reflex where they stop breathing when water

For me it was my swimming instructor in school that just pushed me into the water when I was afraid to jump in. I can swim, but I never got any of the swimming badges and I'm to this day (30+ years later) very uncomfortable with my hea

Venting the moisture also vents the heat. A modern dryer uses a heat pump for both heating the air and pulling the water out of the air. Although I guess with lifetimes of the devices and the relative cost of power (or gas even) between NA

I feel this is more a mindset thing and less about the langauge/ecosystem. It's not that hard figuring out how to call the C# compiler and what actually goes into compiling a C# project. Yet, even though I know all this and how MS

You can probably shorten it to column[1..] and it compiles down to a Substring call, and ranges are part of C# 8, so they exist since .NET Core 3.1. But even if the syntax is newer (e.g. collection expressions in C# 12) you can oft

Both WPF and WinForms, additionally at least DirectWrite and Direct2D and by now a bunch of shader code for the various effects. I guess there's a lot of things that can go wrong when trying to run it via Wine.

Isn't that the effect you get when you have a large diffuse light source directly above?

For me this difference manifests in the speed I can listen to. I typically listen to podcasts at 1.7× speed whereas I listen to (fiction) audiobooks at 1× speed. Partly this is because it lets me appreciate a good reader's work better

I've stumbled over Rebrickable recently where you can enter a LEGO set number and get alternative models (MOCs) and build instructions for them (among other usages). For my children there is lots of fun in taking apart the car again an

WPF still works, but it's tied to DirectX 9 in various ways and doesn't get more than a few bugfixes. It's also used for Visual Studio, albeit with .NET Framework, so any changes risk breaking one fairly complex product (whil

MAUI uses native controls, wrapped in its own system. Considering that Flutter draws everything itself I'd say that's a pretty substantial difference. It also manifests in how close to native your app can look/feel or how eas

You can probably attach to the compiler process with any debugger. Even just hitting F5 in VS didn't do the expected thing as it ended up debugging devenv.exe instead of VBCSCompiler.exe (the Roslyn analysis process). But if Rider (or

Microsoft has been recommending out-of-process extensions for quite a while now; ReSharper never moved there (they did with Rider). Might be that for an extension the size of ReSharper it's not feasible (to this day Rider is missing fe

Reminds me of David Szakaly (davidope), who has a similar style in a lot of his loops. Can be searched for, but it seems like he's primarily active on Instagram, where the videos cannot be watched unless logged in.

Such things were also my start into programming (after finding and reading the GWBASIC manual twice). Later followed by Turbo Pascal, Visual Basic and much later by many other languages. I've been wondering recently what the equivalent

It seems they route along roads between bus stops, so you won't get train routes that follow the tracks. But in principle the solution should be very similar.

While I've heard that Win2k didn't run games well back in the day I never actually had any problems. DirectX worked fine. Perhaps the caveat pertained to DOS games where NTVDM is lacking compared to running more or less directly i

One results in MOVSX, the other in MOVZX [1]. The difference thus is sign/zero extension when moving to the larger register. However, they seem to perform pretty much identical if I'm reading Agner Fog's instruction tables co

Interestingly enough, the VB6 runtime has been part of Windows for quite some time, to the point that my old VB6 projects still run fine, while my experiments with VB.NET in .NET Framework 1 and 2 currently don't, since the ringtone is

.csproj files are trivial to edit without tooling (the newer SDK-style projects at least; the others are merely easy). It helps to understand how MSBuild works, though. .sln files are mostly needed for Visual Studio and they are not require

While I do miss TypeScript’s type system every now and then in C#, I wouldn't say that those are blockers in day to day usage of the language. For me at least this never really stumped me in a way that productivity was impacted by it.
