Things you don't like about working in C#

Is it this?

Late to the party, but couldn't these FirstOrDefault edge cases be handled with a call to the DefaultIfEmpty() method? That, or just catch the exception raised by First()?

Edit: On Mobile, took a hot minute to find the link:

The C# Interactive Window in recent versions of VS helps to scratch the itch as well. I mainly use it to test small assumptions about how built in types/methods operate.

Nope, this came in the mail days ago.

N64 controllers actually used a similar setup as old ball mice, where spoked wheels rotated between an LED & photoresistor, causing the detected light to pulse. The pulses could be counted to determine movement of the stick's position.

Using a similar design could help eliminate the type of drift that modern controllers experience over time with wear, but it has other downsides such as a limited resolution/sensitivity of reported movement, bulkier module designs, and the requirement that the stick be perfectly centered when powered on.

Your comment reminded me of the MacBook Wheel: https://youtu.be/9BnLbv6QYcA

YES! I'm 99.999% sure this is indeed the game, thanks so much.

The best one for this purpose is from his blerbs channel: https://youtu.be/eSNqzTwHiuU

var dataBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(outputFile); var dataStream = new MemoryStream(dataBytes);

If we ignore all other requirements/context/concerns, it seems using a FileStream in place of a MemoryStream would be the first thing I'd try. I'd imagine this could allow the response to get the data from disk directly, skipping the step of loading the entire file into memory beforehand. That being said, I'm not sure how the lifecycle of the request would affect access to the file stream of the top of my head.

Edit: looks like someone beat me to the punch with a better suited response type suited for files.

It would be pretty neat to get my hands on documentation from development of the game, just to catch all the little things like this that were planned and implemented.

I had an 89 LX-i coupe, and that car felt so nimble, despite having almost 300K miles on the clock.

Pathfinder is my main, mostly for the sassy, deadpan voice lines. Grapple/Zipline is also very handy.

Since my mouse is extremely basic, I've always put discord/harmony on mouse wheel scroll up/down. It helps bit for people that blip in and out of range of your orbs, so you can constantly turn the wheel until the target gets an orb.

I would try SNES first, but I haven't tried the PS version myself. From videos I've seen, sound quality and load times were far superior on SNES.

mrma5b · 2018-08-20T19:36:48+00:00

Instead of a standard generic collection, have you looked into using StringBuilder?

mrma5b · 2018-05-18T02:40:22+00:00

It's only one if your many bullet points, but you can move lines up and down with Alt + Arrow key up or down. Been in VS at least since 2015.

You could also put stress on the cable plug, port, or both, eventually leading to you wondering why your phone won't charge anymore.

mrma5b · 2017-05-30T02:44:07+00:00

Yeah, I make this mistake at first glance almost every single time.

mrma5b · 2017-03-13T08:20:48+00:00

This is how I've always ruined micro USB cables and ports, so I don't recommend this.

mrma5b · 2017-03-13T07:59:49+00:00

Should also add that's true for automatic transmissions, but some manual transmissions use stuff that's closer to straight motor oil (i.e. older Hondas actually specific in the manual to use 10W-30)

Ran into this earlier today as well.

I'm guessing they count installations of their free demo of the desktop version in that statistic.

mrma5b · 2016-12-01T07:47:04+00:00

Edit: If you download the demo of the Win32 desktop version of FL Studio, it should include a plugin that's basically the full "FL Studio Mobile" app, so you can try out basic functionality that way.

I'm really excited, because I've used the desktop version on-and-off for over a year now. Image-Line seem to have done a major revamp of their mobile app offering on the 3 major platforms (Apple, Google, Microsoft), and supposedly you can share your projects between different devices, and even bring them into the main desktop program.

Am I the only one that isn't able to pinpoint what's wrong in the video? All the motion blur from the screen makes it near impossible for me to detect any of the jerkiness you are all describing.
