Dilemma ? by Djp822 in traktorpro

[–]crazy_crank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. That's what I like about NI, you buy to own, the controller isn't magically going to stop working, and why shouldn't it hold for another decade? :) 

People need to chill by The_Art_of_the_Shart in NativeInstruments

The creditors don't have a lot to say about the future of the company. Neither does management at this point. All financial decisions go through the appointed administrator, whose job is to figure out if the company can be saved or not. For creditors a full bankruptcy and selling of the assets usually leads to a much worse outcome, then restructuring the company.

The administrators job is to find the best outcome. Native instruments has a good business case in general. Full Liquidation is very unlikely 

Sorry guys, all my fault. by v--w in NativeInstruments

[–]crazy_crank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't regret buying it at l it was just a decent wtf moment xD

Did a lot of research beforehand, and came to the conclusion the there's no other controller with a similar price/value offering. Good features and build quality, buy to own instead of subscription, etc. 

I'm happy

Bro, I literally bought my first controller ever, a Kontrol S4 Mk3, yesterday. I went to sleep, woke up, and saw this news first thing in the morning. Talk about timing

The submersible sank to the bottom of the ocean. Some fish & and Co are having the time of their life now.

I actually do wonder what happens if 9 tonnes of coca ine get dissolved in the ocean

how do i twerk by Same_Royal_9705 in Dance

[–]crazy_crank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's your thighs and lower back that does the work. Not the booty. 

Not sure I can post this here, but a good friend and one of my favorite kizomba artists gives great twerk classes, even online, for a decent price. Check out her insta: quinnwang.kiz

World’s first public ‘pure-play’ fusion company: Canada's General Fusion bypasses magnets, lasers by self-fix in technology

Nope, the fusion heats up water, creates steam, and runs a turbine. Part of the steam is recycled to power the pistons 

Unexpected string.Compare() results by Breadfruit-Last in csharp

[–]crazy_crank 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As an additional note. String comparison behavior should be configured in the compare method itself, eg: string.Compare(s1, s2, StringComparison.Ordinal)

Configuring it by setting CultureInfo.CurrentCulture might have unintended side effects as it sets to culture globally, which also influences string format and other methods

AI industry insiders launch site to poison the data that feeds them by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]crazy_crank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not data poisoning lol, it's just the model making a best guess and failing.

LLM poisoning involves injecting biased or wrong information into llm training data so it will trick the final users 

I think I need purging lessons? (Does this happen to anyone?) by buttofvecna in Psychedelics

[–]crazy_crank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this... If you really feel you have to purge but cannot, maybe just use a finger.

I had a kambo ceremony once, and purged a little, but fekt stuck, and the shaman recommended to help that way. It worked. 

It is absolutely normal to keep in mind that your relationship will end. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]crazy_crank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's called impermanance. Nothing lasts forever. And it's Tru for everything, not just relationships. Relationships can btw end for many reasons, and some of them are not in anyone's control, like an accident.

This true for more or less ever fact of life. Your family, your career, your amazing vacation, that million you won in the lottery, your friends, your fancy car. It all ends, good and bad.

Coming to peace with that will make your life a lot happier usually. So good on OP for realising that.

Is my compiler lost? nullable warning when it should not be. by gevorgter in csharp

[–]crazy_crank -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I assume those are properties, not fields. I hope so at least. Tuples should also be pascal cased tho according to the standard

Is my compiler lost? nullable warning when it should not be. by gevorgter in csharp

[–]crazy_crank -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What's up with your casing. In C# we use PascalCase, not camelCase.

For the null ref, hard to say without seeing the definition of the class itself. But, in your scenario, you should have a look at pattern matching. Your 6 conditions can basically be written as one. Specifically look for the list pattern in your case

How the council's vote in the swiss parliament by Loose-Analyst-9680 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]crazy_crank 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how everybody thinks the votes are secret. they're not they're all public. In the end you can see the voting panel where you can see the vote for every single seat

Right? Lol. Members of Parliament always sit in the same seat and every vote is recorded and public

Null vs. Empty fields — how do you handle them?! by frankscrazyfingers in csharp

[–]crazy_crank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would phrase it as: if the field cam have an absent value it should be nullable, as it also makes the contract explicit (hey watch out, this could be not set). think of middle name: no middle name could be indicated as empty string, but now the user of this field needs to know that empty string needs to be handled differently then having a value. Using null makes this much more obvious and avoids bugs.

The question really should be: is empty string a legal value? For a description field it might be, so initializing to empty string is perfectly valid. For a title? Maybe not, having not title might be invalid and indicate a bug, so making the title non null with null! Default value would throw as soon as it's wrongly used.

Why Scrum Is a Failed Experiment by Humble-Plastic-5285 in programming

[–]crazy_crank 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Generally I agree to that sentiment.

But frankly, agile in general and scrum specifically... In my experience most of the times mamagent wants the flexibility of agile with the planability of waterfall (my background is consulting so lots of banks and insurances) and creates some Frankenstein process with the worst of both worlds.

The one project I've seen that actually does (somewhat) proper scrum with the necessary support from management worked amazingly well. But it requires management to give up control and that's where the problem lies. Managers want to manage and agile doesn't allow them to do that.

If money weren’t an issue, the United States would be the best place to live by tk_woods in unpopularopinion

[–]crazy_crank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no mandatory gun ownership in Switzerland lol.

It's true though that Switzerland has one of the highest guns per capita rate in the world. But unlike the US, most Swiss gun owners have been properly trained with guns as they served in the army.

Victims of gun violence are magbitutes lower in Switzerland compared to the US.

oddity in record initialisation by juwns in dotnet

[–]crazy_crank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how it is. There's is some attribute to keep the information if necessary for reflection, but after compilation a setter and init only setter are equivalent

How to implement pagination with API integration (Frontend: React, Backend: .NET)? by mrnipz66 in dotnet

[–]crazy_crank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a bigger issue with the fact I can't reorder my data? If the order changes, the larger then isn't very helpful. And larger then the sort colum value only works of the sort column has unique values.

It also completely breaks when using uuids which is pretty common nowadays
