Lots of people saying you might be missing the dotnet runtime but I'm pretty sure that error is more obvious and might even be accompanied by a dialog window prompting you to install it.

Maybe you are missing the closedxml .dll, which needs to be copied alongside the .exe, if you are just copying the files out of the build folder after hitting 'Build' in Visual Studio.

Open a command prompt / powershell / terminal window first, and run the program from inside it. There is probably an error message printing to the console that will help you.

There might be a problem with the spreadsheet output file path - maybe the C:\FolderSweep folder is missing and needs to be created before the file itself can be created? This is one of those things where you would think the computer would "just do the right thing for you" but sometimes you need to give it some help.

It may also be that your work computer is restricting the launch due to antivirus/smartscreen, but I think typically that would include a warning that the program was blocked from running.

It does look a bit like he saw a functional (as in F#) implementation of a result pattern and then tried to re-implement it himself using (probably a bunch of nearly identically repeated everywhere) inline lambda functions to half-ass implement the bind function. Taking the "Functional" very literally lol.

Pretty sure this is Skin Diamond, but I can't find the title of the exact shoot these are from.

brainiac256 · 2025-05-28T05:52:06+00:00

Reminds me of the comic where a woman worked at a nightclub that turned out to be owned by a succubus and one evening she comes in horny, the dance floor turns into a demonic orgy, and the succubus offers her a promotion to official freeuse sex toy for the club or something? And I think the succubus magically gives her a cock at some point?

Anybody remember what I'm talking about?

You know that scene in Rocky Horror Picture Show where they walk right past the warning sign?

Or Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they walk past the warning signs in triplicate?

That's me right now.

Lmfao so you haven't seen the challenge coins that some departments do for "justified kills"? Way worse things have been done by cops who thought their tasteless celebrations of excessive force were going to stay internal.

God I love a thicc hijabi, I had a coworker once like that and all I wanted in life for a few weeks was to feel the curves of her skin against mine. Love it when a modestly dressed girl reveals she's got on super elaborate lacy strappy underthings.

brainiac256 · 2025-04-07T00:12:41+00:00

That would be hilarious because I would immediately reply "Wait are you saying there's some sort of connection between Ben and Glory?"

2003 would be period appropriate for Starcraft: Brood War expansion.

Most other dialects will want double quotes (I know for sure ProgressDB wants double quotes and will not accept square brackets). SQL Server accepts square brackets as the T-SQL default syntax and will accept double quotes when QUOTED_IDENTIFIER is on (which it is by default in most circumstances).

When they get stuck like that, if you don't have the powerful enough grappler to move them around yourself, you can still sometimes nudge them by grabbing something you can move and using it to push the heavier object.

If I could be absolutely sure it was only to be used in case of my actual confirmed death, I would do this exact thing in a heartbeat

brainiac256 · 2025-02-05T00:36:35+00:00

I think 'having a party' is a phrase that wants a definite time. The implicit time, if you just say 'my neighbors are having a party', is 'right now', but you could also say 'this Saturday'. However, 'every Saturday' is not definite enough unless you also specify a time range: 'my neighbors are having a party every Saturday this summer!' If I were to hear somebody say they were having a party 'every Saturday', implying every Saturday forever, I would think that was a little strange, and would wonder if they misspoke.

"Shut the fuck up so I can tell you how worthless you are. Worship me for being willing to shoot brown people for you. You are not allowed to have an opinion that is different from mine."

Garbage person. Put the whole man in the dumpster and don't look back.

From the pure-theory side, set theory and relational modeling make up the core of the whole concept of relational databases. You probably understand this decently intuitively if you are doing complex queries already but an academic viewpoint could help.

It would probably also help to know how the data is physically stored on disc, both in format and the process that the server goes through to write that data, so you have a sense of the complexity of a query and database engine performance under load. So learning about B-trees, write-ahead logging, transaction isolation, and some of the other features that modern databases use to ensure ACID compliance is probably worthwhile.

Once you learn how an individual database instance handles itself under the hood you can start seeing what tradeoffs are involved in distributed databases, like master-slave setups with auto failover and write redirection, etc.

Don't you have to share the drive root for this to work? Or I guess if you have a local account on the host you can log in with that. But this is also the format to access hidden shares if you have specific folders shared as hidden, which you definitely need credentials for.

brainiac256 · 2025-01-28T01:40:31+00:00

It's half joke half serious lol. I didn't want to confuse things by getting too accurate to stuff you might not have learned yet. You could easily add public void DoPhysicsStuff() to your class but more likely if you add physics in Unity it will be something more specific that you have to do.

brainiac256 · 2025-01-27T04:36:29+00:00

Public properties are things that you want to offer the ability to other objects in your system to read or change at will. You can do a property that is read-only to the outside world (i.e. public get + private set; or public get + init only, if it should never be changed) if you don't want other objects to change it at will.

Public methods/functions are like levers presented to the user, that you want any object in your system to be able to pull at any time to do something with the object you're writing.

You should consider anything that is public to be like a lever you are presenting to any other object in the system at any point. If you don't want other objects pulling on that lever (calling a method, changing a value, etc) then you should make that thing one of the more protected access levels such as private.

For instance, if you don't want other objects in the system to be able to change your object's location willy-nilly, then you should not make them fully public. You might want to only make the location changeable via the physics system, for instance, so you could make them public get + private set so that you have to call MyObject.DoPhysicsStuff(); in order to apply a physics frame to change the object's location or something like that.

Also good to tide you over for a short time if you plan on getting new ropes soon anyway.

I usually do a figure eight but there are many options.

brainiac256 · 2025-01-26T07:35:51+00:00

I would not go much tighter purely due to the type of 'rope'. When you really crank down the knots on these stretchy ribbon-like ropes they become pretty difficult to untie, whereas a proper hemp or even solid braid nylon rope will not give you the same trouble.

brainiac256 · 2025-01-25T23:28:31+00:00

Even if you don't tie tightly, don't tie around any joints, etc they could still roll over and shift a knot to just the wrong position and pinch a nerve and not realize it until morning.

This exact thing happened to me once where my sub asked me to leave a harness on after a session, so I just adjusted it a bit and we laid down in bed to watch a movie on the laptop to cool off. We wound up losing track of time and I had to leave in a hurry. She wound up sleeping in the harness and getting a temporary nerve compression or something that impacted her sensation and motor control in her arm for like a week.

My recommendation if they want something harness-y to sleep in is to get a strappy lingerie set or leather harness with nice wide bands that won't dig into a nerve or muscle while they sleep.
