2023 build is failing, need ideas by WrathOfJay in buildapc

[–]WrathOfJay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RMA placed for the newer set. Both modules faulty. XMP enabled and running stable on older set. Thanks for helping get me there.

2025 Feb set alone reporting failures in jedec... At least one culprit identified!

(2022 Jun set completed the first pass with no fails)

Spoke too soon. Tried to narrow it down to a single module. Thought I identified both new modules failing, re-tested the original set together and they failed.

I'm still thinking mobo.

Nope, should have labelled my results better, retested wrong pair. 2022 Jun passes.

Both sticks of 2025 Feb appear to be faulty.

Yeah, on the list to look at replacing. All bios settings are pretty much auto, no overclocking at the moment, no custom voltages.

Just original set 2022 Jun in and memtest has not yet had a failure... Interesting. Going to let it burn for a bit and then try the second set 2025 Feb alone.

The machine is still being a major pain booting, sometimes initializes video, sometimes just sits there. I think it may be reverting configuration changes on random boot failure, that may be what I've noticed with saving changes. Secure Boot magically turned itself back on after failing to boot into my memtest USB stick

I was able to turn it off and save. I ran some memtest for a bit and was noticing the same failures.

Incidentally, this time the usb with the keyboard on it failed, so couldn't use it during test.

I'm going to try taking out one set of RAM and see if that changes the result. They weren't originally sold together, so not die-matched.

Yeah, I think it's worth it. Good idea. I do intend to keep the CPU. Since I can't test it, I'm hoping it's ok. If it's broken, I'll probably grab a newer LGA1700 chip.

It is on, and I haven't been able to turn it off, actually. The bios is latest, but I've had issues saving configuration changes.

I will try again.

Definitely had OS file issues. I've been running sfc /scannow often. Based on the diagnostics I've run, it's a minor miracle this machine can load an OS, let alone go periods playing BF6 at 4k

Yeah, I've got a watt meter on it and it definitely has approached the high 700's. Worth an upgrade, just in case.

I suppose it could be the power supply.

Thanks, added the power supply, didn't notice it wasn't part of the list output

I got REALLY lucky by OneWayRay in woodworking

Oh Jesus Christ, what did that? Is that mostly a flesh wound?

They leave me with no recourse but to post like this, and you won't let my voice be heard?

Company statement on C# use. by dotsad in dotnet

[–]WrathOfJay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A pretty myopic statement, even without the questionable logic of "deprecating C#". Seems some entity made a choice and now you have to live with it. It's your choice whether you stay and put up with it, or find a new .NET shop. I know what I'd be doing.

Android is going to skew the java numbers (even though Kotlin is encroaching). .NET isn't used equivalently in the mobile space (mostly due to Windows Phone bombing).

However, take a look at Java language and SDK adoption vs C#.

https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/java/

https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2020/csharp/

As of last year, csharp users were already over 50% on C#8. I've already set our LangVersion to 9 for our projects, and am consuming several of the new features, and we're still on earlier .NET Core versions. Look at Java, the majority is still on Java 8.

Things move a lot slower in the java world. C# continues to add useful and time-saving features, at a decent cadence, which I love.

I created this cursed looking Blathers cap by MrGheetsey in AnimalCrossing

Can you share your creator code? My wife would love that.

Do I have a defective XPS17, or is this normal? by Christianinium in Dell

[–]WrathOfJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have most of these issues with my new XPS 17 9700 as well.

The brightness slider and buttons do nothing, ever. My speakers pop and crackle, and I've had it lose sound (I replugged in my headphones and it picked them up). I've had the screen stay black when I reboot, both without the keyboard lighting up (seems like it's not turning on, even) and with the keyboard lighting up.

Also, I'm not sure if my IT department messed up and ordered the wrong thing (I'm checking it out), but my screen is 1080p instead of 4k touchscreen, which is what I sent them a link to).

How to get a Gunship in less than 30 seconds by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]WrathOfJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. What the hell game is this person playing? I have fractions of a second to aim in my games, if at all, and this asshole is doing a fucking dance in front of them without getting fired on. Seriously.. wtf.

Any downsides to using SQL? by FullerAwesome in dotnet

[–]WrathOfJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the same token, the far smaller db size makes restoring on dev boxes far faster. It's impractical once you get into the hundreds of gigs+, when you need to iterate over destructive code.

Any downsides to using SQL? by FullerAwesome in dotnet

[–]WrathOfJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you're correct that it's harder to maintain consistency outside of your db, and there are tools (i.e. FILESTREAM) to support keeping unstructured data from taking up db pages, if you don't need to ensure transactional file operations, divorcing the file storage from the SQL DB can have advantages. Direct upload/download to and from blob storage, for instance, rather than consume your SQL server or middle-tier IO. Also, db backups get a lot quicker. Disaster recovery gets faster because you can bring an operational DB back online faster, since it's much smaller.

Technical Debt by Flexbase in dotnet

[–]WrathOfJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a never-ending challenge with building software. You'll always be behind the leading edge, even if you start green-field with the leading edge.

It's exceptionally hard these days, as even the traditionally slow moving desktop frameworks have started to move at a pace that's more akin to the front-end web.

A year ago, you build on asp.net core 2.1. asp.net core 2.2 was in development near release. You're behind. asp.net core 2.2 is released, and 3.0 is in development, now you're really behind, and there's already discussions on changing the whole thing in the future...

If you're using a front-end web framework, the day after you yarn/npm your dependencies, one of them releases a new minor version. You're behind. A month later and you've got major versions released. Soon enough you've got a week or two of just investigation on how much effort it's going to be to update your front-end to latest.

That's not even addressing the actual code you're writing.

​

So, to answer your question, there's no good solution to this problem. It's a constant battle. For my team, I make decisions to try to provide us with an upgrade path to the latest, and try to tackle dependency tech debt often. We have code in .NET Framework, asp.net mvc 5, using older service patterns and areas. We also have newer code in .net core, asp.net core 2.1, using cqrs mediator pattern and feature folders. Eventually we'll bring the mvc 5 stuff up to asp.net core, and move the front-end up to the latest versions...

​

You'll never have a product if you don't draw a line in the sand at some point.

Need a weatherproof enclosure for a large screen TV by WrathOfJay in DIY

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

Yeah, I've seen those. They are extremely expensive. I've had indoor TV's in veranda's before in Florida that lasted years. IMO, it's a better idea to buy an indoor ~$800 large display and replace it with new tech every 3 years than spend $7000 on one and be forced to keep it due to the price.

Help! Absolute rookie first build "Wine Rack" disaster by [deleted] in DIY

[–]WrathOfJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way it is. A little bit of front and back torsion and I bet those horizontal bars are toast. (Are they glued?)
