I found C# to pretty much be python just with strict types and semicolons. Jumped right into it really on my first job and it worked out pretty fine, granted I got to orient myself in the existing project where I started.

You are perhaps already familiar, but some things stand out like public/private annotations and other class related things like interfaces which work to create a more organized and controlled use compared to pythons "we are all consenting adults" approach were nothing ever really truly blocked from you. It depends a little on what you want to do/use it for, there's frameworks and different uses like WPF / .NET for the frontend.

While it may be too basic for you, ZetCode was useful for me back when learning PyQt in python, so you might find some use with the C# intro: https://zetcode.com/all/#csharp

It doesn't make much practical sense when the entire playlist if downloaded and they still do this. Just ruins the listening experience.

For me it looped though the same 30 songs out of more than 1000. I much prefer a one time shuffle that guarantee all songs in my playlist, just in a new order. It's not exactly rocket science, if it's in the playlist it naturally should be played. That and horrible sync with local music made me just go all "offline" with PowerAmp on mobile and Foobar2000 on pc...

I use Taiga for tracking anime, and it can auto download torrents, my torrent client can auto add torrents downloaded by taiga. For airing stuff I don't auto download things using taiga though, as it will usually take the first and best torrent it finds, so I opt to just check what's foud and double click the matches when they are the right version.

I also liked the slightly more serious Thor in the former movies, even though the second one was shit and I have watched it twice and don't remember anything from it....

Ragnarok was OK, good even but it was the first step into making Thor a comedic joke character that occasionally does hero stuff. I could live with Ragnarok, but Love and Thunder showed that they completely lost it and don't get what made Thor worth watching. There was some funny jokes in that movie, but apart from that the entire thing feels like a parody of Thor to me. It's all turned too unserious, which removes any weight from the moments in the movie. Feels like the IQ of everyone just keeps dropping every movie at this point.

I haven't read the books, but liked the movies. This is more of a expression of what I liked than anything else... But while JK turned into a mess, the movies generally were good even though

The first two are okay but the third one in particular is a favorite of mine. It's less because of Harry Potter and more about just how well it stands as a well made movie. It is darker in the literal sense and movies a lot more away from the magic wonder feeling the former movies had. In particular by adding a horror like element that adds so much more tension then the older ones. When I was a kid it was terrifying how unsettling and discomforting things were made to be.

And despite it being the movie which used the never-seen-after completely world breaking time turners, it does an amazing job actually using them.There are all these things that go wrong, but just in the right way that the time loop works out without actually changing the first iteration we saw. The books probably do it the same way, but as a visual adaptation it's right on the mark, down to the sense of time running out when the time travel shenanigans happen.

Then again, I'm weak for "good feelings" making a difference and similar, so the protection spell that chases the Dementors away at the crucial moments sure makes me giddy. So it's a thematic bullseye for me, despite how much emotional discomfort the movie played with to get there.

It's at least used in RTX Global Illumination as far as the nvidia site mentions it, and I heard rumors about Cyberpunk getting it, but unsure if it's used in current tech or not. I think I heard mentions of it in some graphics review of a game.

That's true, i didn't think about that when I wrote it.

I'm used to the world being pretty simple though, so for me that slash has always just been a visual representation of the location of the branch if that makes sense. We don't have to have a slash in the branch name, only to use it to represent where that branch is located. It could have been something git only used for presentation.

I never considered branch names to be a vector, but in hindsight it makes total sense when put into a workflow like that. What possibly surprised me even more, was that branch names weren't limited to basic characters or at least no special signs. I obviously see the case for all the extended characters outside the latin alphabet, such as Chinese characters, but I totally expected restrictions on special symbols like ", ', /, \, ;, etc.

How do you view diffs and merges when you say you don't use git GUIs? External tool or terminal/command line?

I use Jetbrains IDEs and most of my life has been IDE based git interaction. And I honestly love it, easy access to see my diffs, the most common commit, push and stage(or shelve as Jetbrains does it, which is better than visual studio). Hassle free and available beats writing anything to me.

My own disks won't survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren't accessible when I'm not home. I don't need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.

Just got reminded of the silencer gun battle scene in one of the John Wick movies. That was perhaps the most unrealistic thing I'd seen in those.

What do you think the effective power generation and heat production is for whatever that reactor is producing, when not in a suit?

If memory serves correctly, the entire outer shell is a round metal cylinder, so that's a fairly large surface area to transfer heat to the body. Tony might not need winter clothes if he's got a portable heater in the chest.

I use it for coding (rarely pure copy paste), explaining code, use/examples, finding tools to use. Better translation than Google translate for Japanese. Asking for things that search engines only gives generic results for.

Skimmed comments, but if you download and manage your music on your own on a machine you can have a super simple setup like I do. All music is synced using Syncthing to my phone. So my phone gets local storage, and then I use Poweramp (android) to play it.

I pretty much have a folder for all the music though. But I assume you can sort music into folders to have them as playlists. But perhaps not as practical as desired.

What's fun is determining which function in that list of functions actually is the one where the bug happens and where. I don't know about other langauges, but it's quite inconvenient to debug one-linres since they are tougher to step through. Not hard, but certainly more bothersome.

I'm also not a huge fan of un-named functions so their functionality/conditions aren't clear from the naming, it's largely okay here since the conditional list is fairly simple and it uses only AND comparisons. They quickly become mentally troublesome when you have OR mixed in along with the changing booleans depending on which condition in the list you are looking at.

At the end of the day though, unit tests should make sure the right driver is returned for the right conditions. That way, you know it works, and the solution is resistant to refactor mishaps.

I am more than happy with Jetbrains and Visual Stuido to do most of my work. While VS has some annoying irks, I just like things more visual such as handling merges through seeing the code as I used to instead of a text like visualization.

I do occasionally need an empty commit, visit the reflog because I fucked up or just do some check on existing commits on a branch. But no, daily I just do pull, merge, commit and push through my IDE.

Norway has something similar, you own the inside usually and the HOA own the outside, including the houses themselves. Live in one, largely a good thing but some things come slow since they need to be voted for of course. Generally worth it, since you get good deals on things like internet. It's cheaper but it's also something you usually have to use and the only option. Eg only that provider of internet.

I'm my case, they are also responsible for my balanced ventilation, my exterior doors and my water heater. So when the time comes, they handle it. Shared costs cover snow plowing, the shared community building, upkeep of garage, outdoors and the buildings, and things like water bills and taxes paid. In particular, HOAs purchases do not need to pay a 2.5% of the purchase price fee when you purchase a home. This itself saves you quite a bit, and makes up for some of the extra you pay in monthly costs. (but pretty much all of those are at least going somewhere that benefit you anyways)

The downsides are, there are special rules so some people that have membership may have a right to take over the winning bid in a sale. I myself used this to purchase my place, having gotten 10 years of seniority in "HOA company". You spend the seniority with your purchase, but also are not allowed to own more than one part. Also, no long term renting so there aren't any companies buying and renting out and things like that. You have to live in the HOA.

But nothing is forcing you to check exeptions in most languages, right?

While not checking for exceptions and .unwrap() are pretty much the same, the first one is something you get by not doing anything extra while the latter is entirely a choice that has to be made. I think that is what makes the difference, and in similar ways why for example nullable enabled project in C# is desired over one that is not. You HAVE to check for null, or you can CHOOSE to assume it is not by trying to use the value directly. To me it makes a difference that we can accidentally forget about a possible exception or if we can choose to ignore it. Because problems dealt with early at compile time, are generally better than those that happen at runtime.

It can be pretty convenient to throw an error and be done with it. I think for some languages like Python, that is pretty much a prefered way to deal with things.

But the entire point of Rust and Result is as you say, to handle the places were things go wrong. To force you to make a choice of what should happen in the error path. It both forces you to see problems you may not be aware of, and handle issues in ways that may not stop the entire execution of your function. And after handling the Result in those cases, you know that beyond that point you are always in a good state. Like most things in Rust, that may involve making decisions about using Result and Option in your structs/functions, and designing your program in ways that force correct use... but that a now problem instead of a later problem when it comes up during runtime.
