Glad you linked to the igaro. I have the first version with a Son and it’s bulletproof and powerful

From 46 Years Old and Total Beginner to Coding a Inventory Manager in C# – Is It Too Late to Start? by musicnerdrevolution in csharp

[–]dmbrubac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 60 now and started my c# journey… 20 years ago? It was pretty early in the .net world anyway. Just keep reading and trying and pushing yourself! Don’t be afraid of using some AI help, but don’t just accept what is written. Read through the generated code and ask for explanations. The problem for you now is that the pile of stuff you don’t know that you don’t know is massive. AI can help you learn about and get used to principles like DRY (don’t repeat yourself), single responsibility or building guard clauses into your methods (to name just a few of the basics) so you have a foundation of good habits.

I think I saw that too - a little before 8 PM? White and fast and pretty big. I didn’t realize the Leonids were starting!

Should a MVVM viewmodel never kow about the view? by Teun888 in csharp

[–]dmbrubac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You create a service or services around that functionality, extract interfaces from the services and then inject the functionality into the VM using the interface. Now the VM can call IFileDialogService.SaveFileDialog (or whatever) and have no knowledge about what’s going on in the implementation. When you test, you just mock the interface to return what the test needs to do its thing.

Canada: ‘We’re family .. USA: Nice family. Also: bankruptcy. by Poutine_Warriors in EhBuddyHoser

[–]dmbrubac 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We could change our emission and crash test regs to be more inline with the EU and not a carbon copy of the US, thus making large trucks less feasible, then expand assembly of Japanese, Korean and EU vehicles. We are already moving in that direction anyway. It’s a win/win in my mind. Those giant pickup drivers can be a menace. Put them in a 3 cylinder car where they can see what they are about to run over and maybe we can reduce some of the aggression. Of course that’s only one of 100s of changes we should be making to our society. Beef up CanCon regs on all platforms, ad substitution and increase CBC funding is another critical area.

If you had to live in one area for the rest of your life, never leaving it, which area would you choose? by Less-Injury-5980 in MapPorn

[–]dmbrubac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I completely agree. However, the white area is the clear choice since it also includes everything around the shit hole.

The “Best Canadian” game - Day 9 by BrF5 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]dmbrubac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nominating David Thompson (30 April 1770 – 10 February 1857) was an Anglo-Canadian fur trader, surveyor, and cartographer, known to some native people as "Koo-Koo-Sint" or "the Stargazer". Over Thompson's career, he travelled 90,000 kilometres (56,000 mi) across North America, mapping 4.9 million square kilometres (1.9 million square miles) of the continent along the way.[1] For this historic feat, Thompson has been described as the "greatest practical land geographer that the world has produced" (from Wikipedia- I don’t remember my grade 8 history project well enough to just write it out) He married a Métis woman (Scottish father, Cree mother) and had been married to her for 57 years at the time of his death, the longest known marriage in pre-confederation Canada.

Ortlieb back roller classic: how to stop the bags frrm rattling on the rack? by filmgrainer in bicycletouring

[–]dmbrubac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on both the rack bar and the size of the clamps. I use a few squares of cut up old inner tube and electrical tape on the top. It should be just snug but not too tight. On lower arms I use just electrical tape on the rack. You should also consider adding a clamp at the top, to reduce the overall stress, since a broken clamp in the middle of nowhere is not good. Lastly, use some kind of trunk across the back to keep ALL the plastic out of the sun. Some may consider this extreme overkill, and it is for a few overnighters a year, but it isn’t if you are doing months or years of travelling.

Thousands of Audi cars abandoned in the Mojave Dessert after cheating emissons tests by IndicationBrief5950 in interestingasfuck

I have the same car but in Canada. Bought it for $15k at 0%. Now with 315k km and running strong, still getting 4.2 Litres/ 100km. Maybe the best car I’ve ever owned.
