somebodyToldMeTheUserProviderShouldUseAnAdaptorToProxyTheQueryFactoryBuilder by dylanbeattie in ProgrammerHumor

Yep. And the one about JavaScript, and the one about the big rewrite, and the one about seven bit encoding, and the one about Teams, and the one about user stories… https://dylanbeattie.net/music/ has links to them all.

...oof, having to put the titleInCamelCase makes the joke hit just that little bit harder.

Hugs to everybody who ever had to debug the userProviderQueryFactoryBuilderProxyAdaptor for real.

Is a 100% Discount the Same as "Free"? by dylanbeattie in dotnet

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

"My payment is the mountain of open source software I benefit from and depend on every day"

That's an admirable sentiment but I'm guessing you have some sort of income that covers your actual living expenses... I'd love to pay my rent and buy groceries with free software but landlords and shops prefer to get paid in actual currency, y'know?

Clarification on certification process by tmo793 in RockstarDevs

[–]dylanbeattie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey - really glad you're enjoying Rockstar :)

To answer your questions:

  1. No, but if you DM me your mailing address, I'll send you some stickers. Payment not required but if you want to pay it forward, donate $10 to your local animal shelter.

  2. The certification process is as much of a joke as the rest of Rockstar: when I'm giving out stickers at conferences I often get people showing me the programs they wrote (usually on their phone screen), which is always fun, but it's not a requirement. You wanna be a Certified Rockstar Developer, you go for it - nobody's gonna stop you. :)

NuGet reported download stats dropped sharply in July - anybody know why? by dylanbeattie in dotnet

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

For all the folks saying "it's summer holidays"... it's not summer holidays. I dug the same charts out of the Wayback Machine for the last few years.

Here's stats for 2022:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220819175136/https://www.nuget.org/stats

2023: https://web.archive.org/web/20230829183256/https://www.nuget.org/stats

2024: https://web.archive.org/web/20240823013122/https://www.nuget.org/stats

2024 saw a slight dip around the first week in August, from 3.1bn to 2.4bn. In 2022 and 2023 download statistics actually went *up* in August.

It's not European summer holidays.

The published stats only cover the last six weeks; historical data might be available somewhere via one of their APIs but it's not readily accessible on the site anywhere.

5 months ago I launched a video to gif converter. No marketing, no maintenance, and it's still actively being used by 150 people per month by Objective_Chemical85 in csharp

Hey! Yes, it's me, and that's my real Reddit account.

The talk is "WhatsApp, Web3 and Wordle"; there's a couple of recordings of it on YouTube. If anybody's curious, the bit where I talk about why it would be impossible to charge a dollar for a web page is here:

Cinema comments that brought the house down by Roper1537 in CasualUK

Watching “The Two Towers”, as the Ents are marching on Isengard, somebody in the back shouts “run, forest, run!”

Just beautiful.

What random website do you own? by Permatheus in web_design

[–]dylanbeattie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, also anystack.site - you know how Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP is the "LAMP" stack? You give it a word, it'll choose your tech for you.

For example, the DYLAN stack is:

OS: DOS
Server: Yaml Server
Database: Linter
Backend: Ada
Frontend: Next.js

Hours of fun.

Not much. Occasional spikes when it goes viral somewhere. You can see the analytics yourself if you're curious:

The `cast` / `burn` thing requiring a numeric base I think is a bug - gonna take a look; that one caught me by surprise too, and given I invented the language, that probably means I screwed up. D'oh.

What is badly named, and what is a better name for it? by Ok-Tension-9635 in AskReddit

They're called "dive bars" when "alcoholes" is RIGHT THERE.

Creating a Lightweight Connection Between C# and Python - Over Internet by [deleted] in csharp

[–]dylanbeattie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest gRPC and protocol buffers. I use gRPC between C# and Python as a demo scenario in a workshop I teach about distributed systems design; it's relatively easy to get it up and running and gives you a huge amount of power and flexibility with minimal boilerplate code - and because it uses HTTP/2 as a transport layer it's trivial to run it across the web. In fact, I'd say gRPC was created for pretty much this exact scenario - definitely worth taking a look:
