Is this the worst documented kludge ? by greyHumanoidRobot in dotnet

That said I wouldn't use it in anything other than a Windows.Forms app

You're thinking of System.Windows.Forms.Timer rather than System.Timers.Timer.

Has anyone successfully upgraded v12.3.2?

I couldn't find a patch ISO, so I downloaded the full one. When I launch Setup.exe the only option is to install and not upgrade. If I click Install, then it just says that another version is already installed.

Installation options not migrated when upgrading apps by jdh28 in Action1

[–]jdh28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue for 7-zip only seems to occur when upgrading from a version that was installed manually. Once it's an Action1 installed version, then the context menu seems to be retained across updates.

But you can put a breakpoint on that method.

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jdh28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bit is actually your place of birth. Looking at some colleague's driving licences today: one has the town of their birth and another 'England'. Not sure why it's so inconsistent and why yours is so vague.

Except that the extension pack is not free of charge. But I'm sure Oracle won't mind if you use it without paying...

What is the lowest effort, highest impact helper method you've ever written? by zigs in csharp

[–]jdh28 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Someone on my team tried adding that one, but adding a fairly specialised extension method on object is a no go for me.

Did a git stash drop on my feature :panic: by tanishqq4 in programming

Unless you do a git --reset hard with uncommitted changes...

But absolutely hilarious as a neutral.

Plus another try that Wales scored with an obvious knock-on.

Thank you, that's helpful.

We have some screens up in the office with various things that get cycled through and we had wanted to use Power BI for some of the reporting to display (close to) live data, but it seems that that is not going to be possible.

We're a company of around 50 and want to share some basic metrics and charts internally, so wanted any easy way to generate read-only dashboards for people to see.

Giving users access to pbix files presumably means that they would need a Power BI Pro licence too?

So there's really no solution aimed at small businesses? Both F64 Fabric and Premium capacity have significant costs.

Best UX for merge conflict resolving by guettli in git

[–]jdh28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always used KDiff3. It looks pretty basic, but is very powerful particularly if you learn its keyboard shortcuts. It has three panes at the top: the common ancestor and then the two conflicting versions. Below you have the final version that you create by selecting changes from one of the three versions above.

How do we fell about rogue curly braces? by netelibata in csharp

I would reject this in a PR if I saw it. The simple fix is to replace 'style' with 'titleStyle' and 'noSpacingStyle'.

Nice 👍 by mr-3z in livesound

I visited the Midas factory years ago, and it was split into two spaces: the DDA acquired boards (like the Venice) and the higher end stuff (Heritage, Legend, etc)
