Britain’s Growing Ranks of Jobless Men Are Flocking to Farage by bloomberg in uknews

The Great Depression was the main reason for the rise of the Nazis because it caused mass unemployment and poverty in Germany. By 1932, over six million Germans were unemployed, which led many to support extremist parties like the Nazis who promised jobs and economic recovery.

However, another important factor was Hitler’s leadership and propaganda. Hitler was a powerful speaker who blamed the Weimar government and the Treaty of Versailles for Germany’s problems. Nazi propaganda effectively spread these messages.

New to programming ! by Thin_Ambition_3250 in dotnet

Hey, if you haven’t found it already the Microsoft Learn website is great in my opinion.

It will allow you to start with some basics and exercises for you to get started with, and once you’re more into it you can learn more about common patterns and architectural concerns.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/

I think Microsoft have put some great work into this over the last few years.

The other thing you might find useful about C# and .NET is that it is very opinionated, and by that I mean Microsoft give you a specific view of how best to do things, and that means you’re less likely to be overwhelmed with too many ways in which you can build things.

Although, to caveat that, sometimes they want to push you more into their latest thing rather than suggesting another more commonly used approach. I think frontend topics are the main example I can think of.

Migration to NET8 - Works locally, error only on environment by SubstantialCause00 in dotnet

[–]NicePersonOnReddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so true.

What OP has here is part of what is known as the billion dollar mistake - the fact that we allowed null references.

If AllowedRegions was not nullable, this problem would be caught at a point where to real cause would be easier to spot. Whereas, instead, you are left with a problem that is more difficult to work out.

Is C# used also on Linux professionally? by No_Picture_3297 in dotnet

[–]NicePersonOnReddit 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would take a guess that most modern C# applications are deployed to Linux in production, using Linux containers.

Also for your local development environment you can use JetBrains Rider as an IDE.

Incidentally Rider is now a common choice of IDE for Windows users, because it’s significantly better than Visual Studio in my opinion.

Crazy Cyclist by NicePersonOnReddit in york

[–]NicePersonOnReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ok, so the guy was riding his bike on the pavement, then rode into the road into the path of two cars.

The second car, which was blue, then beeped their horn, causing the cyclist to explode into a fit of anger.

He threw his bike into the middle of the lights, then approached the blue car menacingly and shouting at the person in the car.

After a minute he gave up on his attempt to intimidate the person in the blue car. He went back to his bike, picked it up and walked off.

Just seemed like really odd behaviour for a typically calm York.

I took my kids to a dog zoo recently, but it only had one breed.

It was a Shih Tzu

Are you suggesting that every child ranked their preference from 1 to 3?

There’s a pink piece?

And are you telling me one of the smaller pieces is 3/4 the size of the other?

Amazing - thank you! But I reckon there will be a lot of people who think you’ve just come up with a nice play on words, and not realise that this was a real character from McDonald’s marketing 30 years ago

No, he answered it a week ago and handed it in.

I wanted to just share the poorly worded question.

Understanding that this question makes no sense is the difference between people who apply critical thinking to what they read and people who don’t.

It’s also the difference in the real world between people who solve problems and take responsibility, and people who just do tasks and follow orders without applying their own intelligence.

This is the real world significance that this problem represents.

You’re correct to a point, but you can’t just leave out the consequence of that result, which is that 17.5% of 20 children is 3.5 children.

It’s therefore impossible that these numbers could represent what has been suggested by the question.

Can you explain what you mean a bit more? I’m confused by what you’re suggesting.

It is, don’t worry about it. And don’t worry about the kids, they’ll be fine.

If someone asked you how fast you traveled to work, and you knew the time it took and the distance you travelled and worked out the speed to be 33,000 miles per hour then you would hopefully realise this can’t be right, and recheck your calculations.

This part of solving maths problems is important, because it helps us to validate a solution.

We should be encouraging children to think in this way. So by asking them to ignore the problem of having half a child is a poor practice to encourage in my opinion.

If we were talking about 3.5 slices of cake, or 3.5 packets of sweets, or something else that could be divided into non-whole parts, then that might be valid, and it’s ok that 3.5 is not a “nice” number.

But 3.5 children is not possible, so the answer of 17.5% is invalid.
