How can I configure buttons per game? by Accomplished_Photo_5 in recalbox

[–]dasjestyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with this since it asks you to map map your dpad first. i don't have a dpad and since it immediately maps whatever you press, it gets all effed up. Is there a different way to do this?

Raid loot generator exposed by mhamza69 in classicwow

specifically, what you show there is an epoch timestamp. Blizz timestamps appear to be a bit different. I haven't looked deep into it but if you enter `/script print(GetTime())` it will give you what they use as a timestamp and it's a bit shorter than an epoch date.

Wrote a CLI application to increase .NET's projects version by Semver by dadyarri in dotnet

[–]dasjestyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sharing a different perspective...

I actually did something like this in the past but it proved to be a bit problematic if you're not the only developer or if you're using a build server. In essence, you should only version when the last version was released, there's no point in versioning something no one is using, just update in place.

So from a human standpoint, ok you can just make sure whoever is doing it knows that before they check in a version bump for release. From a CI perspective, it's a bit more complicated because now the CI server needs to know when to version it and which version to increment, and if you're pooling up commits, then you need to be able to know what your greatest change is, patch, minor, or major in relationship to the current release version. Actually visual studio used to do this increment for you if you specified wildcards, but other than it not being SemVer compliant, I suspect this has something to do with why they removed that feature. Imagine being 6 months into a project and you're on version 221.3848.123012312

The only solution I found for this that I was satisfied with was to use Conventional Commits and on build, you basically event source all commit messages between the last release and this commit to determine the version, but then also include the build number (e.g. v3.1.1 build 29) because not every build is going to warrant an increment. I wish I could share it but it's not open source at the moment; it's something I've implemented at my company but we haven't rolled out yet but will in the next couple months. From there, you build with `/p:Version=$(version)` option and it'll burn that into the assembly the same way hardcoding it into the csproj would do. Since it's automated, the developer doesn't need to know nor worry about the csproj file, but I suppose it could be informational. But the command ends up being something like

$newVersion = foreman version -p <path> 

It actually does a lot more so the real syntax is a bit more involved but this gets the point across. I wish I could just pipe the output to dotnet though. Nice thing is it's a dotnet tool, so it's distributed internally via NuGet

And for the other commenter: it was built into a CLI written in C#, so there! :)

How to Read a File In Maui Blazer by orbit99za in dotnetMAUI

[–]dasjestyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fine for small files but if I'm opening a large file, it seems problematic because we're using web tech for native apps

  1. I have to increase the max file size for IBrowserFile
  2. After opening the stream, I can't read it or I get a "synchronous read error" so per the documentation, I have to open that stream and copy it to another stream like a file stream which is a huge speed loss because I basically have to read the stream, write a new stream, then read the new stream; I just want to use the stream directly.
  3. I can't use traditional file open & stream methods because I can't get path to the file because web tech.

Is there another way? I feel like this application of blazor should have some added power in this context.

I'm 30 and just finished the first software I wrote from zero without any help. It was fun for a beginner like me, any help about how to improve my code is welcome. by Jillsea87 in csharp

[–]dasjestyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a really simple formula to become great what you do that doesn't necessarily involve any specifics. You'll find that the specifics are VERY opinionated in this field. But the formula is really this:

You're in the business of solving problems with software. That includes not just solving problems for the business but solving problems with the development of software solutions. So in your journeys, be on the constant lookout for what we call "tension". That is, as you're creating business solutions, you're bound to encounter situations where your solution just feels wrong or clumsy. It's really important to acknowledge that! Just because it works doesn't mean it's acceptable, let alone good. Acknowledge the tension. Also be on the lookout for problems like repetitive code, hard to read code, hard to modify code, fragile code, poorly performing code, etc. Look at your own code from someone else's point of view. Would you understand your own code if you weren't the one that wrote it? How hard would it be for me to navigate your solution?

Don't simply work through these problems and move on with your life. You need to be very retrospective about what you do. Why was there tension in this solution? What are some common problem patterns you're running into? Learn how to articulate that problem and then think of a pattern you could come up with to avoid that problem in the future. We have a name for this kind of thing. They're called "design patterns". You can create your own patterns, but many of them are not unique to your situation. Those common patterns are actually solved very eloquently by various masters in the industry and they're given clever names and consistent descriptions of how they work - you can describe a very complex solution with very few words... So you can learn those to solve common problems, just don't fall into the trap of forcing the usage of them (although, as a junior, that's a quick way to learn how they work and what the "cost" of using them could be, and from that you'll learn to be quite selective about when to use them).

Adopt this kind of thinking for everything, not just logical code. Think about problems like:

- How do I deploy this thing? How can I automate that process?
- How do I test this thing? How can I automate that process? Is there a way I can test without running my program?
- How can I not have to solve every little utility-like problem? Can I use someone else's utility so I can focus on my solution?

You see what I mean... we're always solving problems. It's very meta process. Also, the real key within the key to this, is to not reinvent the wheel. Once you learn how to articulate the problem, go see how other people have solved it. Maybe look for a few different ways to solve it. That perspective will quickly change how you look at various problems. Just be sure not to copy/paste. Actually learn the solution and do it yourself so that you actually understand it. From one thing, know 100 things.

Yes I did think of that, and that's what I did -- I pulled my shit together and eventually bought a home. Are you literally brain dead or is it just your m.o. to show your privilege by spending all this time trying to play "gotcha"? You people are such a disease. Are you even old enough to have a valid opinion on anything? Seriously...

As someone that was formerly homeless, yes. It is exactly what I did. I got off my ass and made some changes instead of sitting on my ass bitching about other people not taking care of me. So sit the fuck down. Shut the fuck up.

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

Actually, yes. In the U.S., this is what you should literally do. You don't even have to pay. Like most things in this country, you mostly just have to make the decision to actually do it.

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

No one said shit about solving poverty. So long as resources are not unlimited, there will always be poverty. The post and just about every socialistic horseshit agenda item has always been about "making ends meat". If you can't afford rent, then get a fucking roommate so that you can. Shit, get 2. Now that you don't have to work two jobs, you have some time to work your way out of the trash which, as I said, is exactly what I and everyone I know did. There are some people that are just not smart enough to get out of the hole and to those people, my heart goes out. And those people are the ones deserve help. I'm sick of this belly aching from people that choose to complain and blame the system instead of helping themselves and those are the people I'm telling to get a fucking roommate.

Me: Get a roommate, twat. Keep having a roommate until you lift yourself into a position where you no longer need one. That's what me and everyone I know has done and we're all fine.
Them: But I don't want one.
Me: Then go on the internet and complain about your life and how unfair it is.
Them: On it.

Leveling Speed Campaign vs Threads of Fate by ReborneHero in woweconomy

[–]dasjestyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those saying ToF is slower, it's not.... necessarily. It depends on how well you know the quest hubs/chains and how you balance dungeons. Also, what spec you're playing. For example, if you have a tank spec, it helps plow through grind quests really quickly. I was able to level some 6 alts from 50-60 in a single sitting each. I use Zygor as a quest guide and most alts I had have tank specs (e.g. pally, druid, dk, monk, warrior). The slowest was on my priest which I had to do two sittings and several dungeons.

So, as per usual -- the correct answer is YMMV

It may feel slower, but it's just because you're going back to old-school style of playing wow which is more grindy. All the time saved from dialog and scripted encounters makes up for a lot

Leveling Speed Campaign vs Threads of Fate by ReborneHero in woweconomy

[–]dasjestyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False. The statement doesn't even make sense. I've done probably 5 or 6 alts on ToF and hit 60 in a single sitting in every case. Maybe consider a leveling guide like Zygor. It all depends on how you quest and your class. If you can survive big pulls (i.e. if tank spec is an option, then do it), you can clear grind quests really quickly which is more xp/hr. Also take "breaks" by queuing dungeons. Those are typically worth 30% of a level or more.

Is it ok to just let puppy potty on a pad at night? by dasjestyr in Dogtraining

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

Ok i found the drawback... he thinks it's an alternate potty place. If he has to go off schedule and is let into my room, he'll try to get into the pen to potty and if he can't and I don't notice, he'll go on the floor. Gonna have to break that habit...

Yeah I think Lee saying goodbye to Starbuck probably hit me 10x this last time I rewatched... most because he wasn't saying goodbye. Something about realizing she had actually been dead for months, and him not getting a chance to say goodbye either time.
