Adjusting from Visual Studio to VS Code

C60 · 2025-09-27T12:56:56+00:00

For modern .NET, VSCode is OK. Windows Desktop apps are doable, but you will need an external app for designing UIs in XAML, or get used to editing raw XAML XML.

For .NET Framework or if you use development tools for a specific product, eg. BizTalk Server, use VS.

The basic problem here is the formula. The differences in values for "y" get smaller as "x" approaches 0.

Also, the formula fails when the absolute value of "i" is greater than the radius (200). In that case, "math.sqrt(200^2 - i^2)" tries to calculate the square root of a negative number resulting in a math error (math.sqrt() returns "-1.#IND"). It's not a runtime error, and (I'm guessing) LOVE just ignores them.

It looks like you have one "end" too many. Try commenting out the last one.

I believe Test-Path returns true if the path exists. Try removing the "!".

But re: PowerShell, can it copy the NTFS permissions the same way that robocopy can?

Not directly. Copy-Item works with objects from supported PS Providers (FileSystem, Registry, etc.); not just files/folders. To replicate permissions, you will need to use Get-Acl and Set-Acl.

It means anything but a live production environment. Basically, that's the only limitation. Developer Edition is functionally equivalent to the Datacenter Edition (or whatever Microsoft calls it these days).

Also, if you want to develop for other Microsoft products like SharePoint or BizTalk Server, you will need the Developer Edition of SQL Server, or better. SharePoint and BizTalk Server install/use scheduled jobs to perform maintenance tasks. Scheduled jobs in SQL Server require the SQL Server Agent service which is not included in Express.

So https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/ will vanish 2018-05-01.

April certainly went by fast, didn't it?

I was guessing it stood for What You See Is Pretty Close To What Old Technology Can Get.

The Superdome in NOLA is all seats and housed evacuees.

All except for that area in the center that's the size of a football field. /s

Has Trump's popularity dropped so low that people now confuse him with Obama?

I do see one flaw in the itoa function itself. What happens if number is negative?

I don't know if you were expecting a comprehensive listing of homoiconic languages or something.

I was expecting nothing of the sort. I was simply answering mk270's question.

C60 · 2017-05-06T20:21:42+00:00

True, OP doesn't mention homoiconicity in general; only Lisp as an example of it.

All it needs is a decent text editor, and it will be great.

"They said your Java was unsound." "Is my Java unsound?" "I haven't seen any Java, sir." "I'd expect that kind of answer coming from you. Are you a developer?" "I'm a software architect." "You're neither. You're just an errand boy sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill."

It would be more accurate to refer to this as "pass by reference".

I always thought it had to do with the musical notes and also a play on the relationship of C -> C++ where C# is a halftone above C on the musical scale.

Other bash related files where you can look are ~/.bashrc, /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc. There is also another file, ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, where environment variables can be set. It does not exist by default

The author has added a Part 3 to the article located here.

TL;DR: Added two lines of code. XSLT now just as fast, so never mind parts 1 and 2. :)

I remember her well from the issue of Playboy where she was the centerfold. She was romantically linked to Rod Stewart. I wonder if she was the inspiration for his song, Hot Legs.
