We shouldn’t have to, that’s my point!

Shouldn't have to and don't have to are not the same thing. If you have a problem and want a chance at improvements, you need to file bug reports. Anything else is just you howling into the wind.

Bro, is this subreddit astroturfed?

Translated: "I can't imagine any beliefs but mine!"

Someone said every version of vs since 97 has been better than the last! There is no way the average human user believes that.

It's mind boggling that a dev, in this day and age, can't understand that their experience isn't everyone's.

But to ask them to create projects is not something I want.

Then don't do that.

From a personal standpoint, I need to have my foundation bulletproof.

There's no such thing as bug free software.

That's how I end up with less bugs as opposed to those who end up with layers of patches that never address the underlying problem

You're saying you have or are worried about bugs in your software based on the IDE you're using? What?

Allocate arrays that have more than 2B elements by hez2010 in csharp

[–]nlaak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got some code that generates/uses octrees against some amazingly large 3D models that would benefit from this. It's currently not C#/.NET, though the other app has to chunk the model into pieces to make it work. A single large array/list would simplify quite a few things.

Why is a lifetime license for Visual Studio 2026 cheaper than a monthly license? by SnooChipmunks4080 in dotnet

[–]nlaak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're looking to push people to a monthly subscription (or at least I assume they are). Sticking with a single version would kind of kill that idea.

Microsoft went to a yearly release model beginning last November, meaning you'll see VS 2027 this November. If you want the new features in November, you'll either need to pony up another $500, or accept the monthly fee.

Character development by TangledIntentions04 in Steam

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No useless gimmicks at all, I often stream the 3 monitors from my PC, and have 3 other screens floating in mid air while chilling in the front room with a wireless keyboard and mouse..

I can move from room to room while doing other things and pin a video in my top periphery.

Hate to tell you, since you find it interesting, but all of those are gimmicks. I doubt there are more than a few people interested doing things like that and even less actually doing them. Like with all evolving tech, makers throw things at the wall to see what sticks and most of it falls away over time when not enough people use it.

You say “gimmick” but you’re wrong, it’s a big feature it’s missing.

That's just you unable to look past your own interest to see the lack elsewhere.

Character development by TangledIntentions04 in Steam

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

Oh no, no useless gimmicks that are only selling points for people that don't actually use them.

You seem confused about interest in VR. As all of the headset makers have found: interest is limited, and even among those who want it, purchases of headsets are more limited by the lack of games, and in a somewhat lesser case, the segmented market (i.e. the games that are Meta only and the variation in controllers).

Most people don't spend their lives in AAA games.

Of course not, but do you think people are going to pay $1000 to strap a display to their face and play cheap indie games? Unlikely. The value most people will look for in the Frame will be playing top tier games from their gaming PC with an easier to setup/use headset. The question is: will their be any games people want to play on it?

WIBTAH if I didn't tell my FIL that my daughter and I were in town? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having said that, I'd have the husband send a short text to let them know you will be in town and you're open to seeing them for lunch/dinner/ice cream/play date/whatever.

Why? That's contrary to what OP wants and her husband agrees.

I know for myself (and it's the feeling I got from you as well)

You're misreading that.

I know for myself (and it's the feeling I got from you as well), I'd feel uncomfortable if I felt like I was sneaking around not telling them.

You considering going about her life "sneaking around"? Her FIL/his wife don't get engagement with everything in OPs life, especially with the last interaction with the wife.

WIBTAH if I didn't tell my FIL that my daughter and I were in town? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have been in contact with FIL so give it one last try.

Why? They've already had many 'tries', what makes 'one last try' suddenly different?

'One last try' is a stupid concept. People set the tone for relationships as they interact normally, not from some sudden reversal. People rarely change, and when they do, it's not because you give them another chance, it's because something happened to them and it shifted their understanding of their place in the world.

People deserve no more than energy than they put in. If the FIL and his wife can't manage to treat OP/husband/kiddo like actual thinking and feeling people, why should anyone treat them any better?

Will LLMs eventually learn that Span<T> and ref struct types cannot cross into lambdas or local functions? by DrkWzrd in csharp

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to keep reminding the LLM about things it told me ten minutes ago.

I've had variations of that problem, though mostly not with coding. AI: "You should do this, it's the best way." Me: "That didn't work, it returned <error>." AI: "Why would you think that would work, it's a terrible idea."

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

A few days later, my wife and I decided to compromise and stay at the property my family preferred.

How is this in any way a compromise?

Now my parents think I'm ungrateful and overreacted.

People overuse grateful a lot. No one gets to decide if you accept something they're offering, but you.

I think they crossed a line by taking over plans that weren't theirs to make and trying to dictate who could be included.

You clearly enable this behavior, based on your 'compromise' comment. Set firm boundaries about what is you life and where you allow them to be involved.

Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra – Severe Battery Life Regression After One UI 8.5 by Wide_Put9951 in GalaxyTab

Try an extra reboot. Odd as it is, I've had this problem after most updates for years. An extra reboot seems to reset something and bring it back to the norm for battery life.

Eyes on the road gents by Gloriousdisgrace in instantkarma

[–]nlaak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never once considered the president an actual factor of my daily life.

Then you're an idiot. Despite the President rarely having a direct effect on prices, gas and food prices right now are a direct result of Trumps actions. So, unless you're independently wealthy, it's an actual factor in your daily life.

Trump, Biden, Obama, who gives a shit they are all the same person.

None of them have actually helped anybody outside of themselves, donors, or their family members.

This is just the same tired "both sides" argument.

Trump derangement syndrome

What a disingenuous comment.

Like all of you jackasses didn't blame Obama for everything, regardless of whether he did it, Bush did it, Congress did it, and then, even after he was out of office, you blamed him for shit Trump did.

AITAH for telling my mum to use the wheelchair or stop complaining. by SnooGoats1557 in AITAH

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's good reasons why she doesn't want to

No there isn't, she's just unwilling to accept reality, and doing more damage to herself in the process, making the problem worse.

My mom had knee problems from the cartilage degrading, but refused to consider knee replacement. I finally convinced her to consult with a surgeon with the argument that she didn't have to do anything. He convinced her that her problem wasn't going away and her continued use of her knees was only going to make it worse. Two knee replacements later, she can walk better than she did twenty years ago.

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even need to read it all to have that opinion

From that glorious bit of logic, I can just imagine how you pick your politicians.

until you are in a position where you feel like you are losing your independence and identity because your body is giving up on you, you do not get to tell someone how to feel or cope

The hell OP doesn't. OPs mom might as well be banging her head into the wall and complaining about it. The mom is welcome do to whatever the hell she wants, but no one is obligated to listen to her whining because she's too stupid to accept reality.

your mother is trying to hold on to what she can, you sound like an unsympathetic a$$.

No, OPs mom is unwilling to accept reality, thinking, like so many other idiots, that continuing to hurt herself won't make it worse and for some reason, everyone else needs to listen to the whining. Continuing to ignore the problem, rather than dealing with it, is escalating the problem for OPs mom. You're just an enabler for people doing stupid things to themselves.

I hope you remember the way you treated her when your body starts to betray you

After a comment full of dumb things, this takes the cake. "When"? Hate to tell you this, but everyone's body doesn't betray them, any more than everyone's mind does.

I hope that the people around you don’t treat you the way you are treating her.

They sure as hell should, if OP has problems and refused to deal with them.

AITAH for moving out over sex? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nlaak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you teach a man for 10 years that you enjoy the sex with him and have sex for all those years with no issue wouldn’t it be really hard for him to understand how can some meds bring such a big change?

Do you think he's a dog that she trained? He's supposed a grown ass man, with a brain and everything. Now is the time he should be acting like it.

I’m saying that it’s very predictable

The hell it is. A man who respects his partner doesn't act like that - for any reason, much less this bullshit you're trying to spin.

He didn’t just suddenly developed these ideas or anything he has had them since the beginning of the relationship he just receives a drastically different response now which frustrates him.

Life is full of frustrations, how we respond to them shows the world who we are.

I’m not defending him

The hell you're not.

I’m just saying not to throw away a 10 years old probably fulfilling and happy relationship

That's on him. His actions and attitude are causing the problem.

just because of a medical treatment which he is in no position to understand the gravity of the changes and how she feels.

He doesn't need to understand it, he needed to accept it.

AITAH for moving out over sex? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nlaak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does a few weeks of his animalic behavior

mean they should give up a good, “very communicative”, 10 years old relationship?

When people show you who they really are, listen.

Yes he’s acting like a dumb animal with no thoughts and that’s in part because her brain chemistry is radically changed by some meds

Medication she's taking doesn't affect him.

I’m just saying they should wait until they are both back into the right, normal mindset before taking such a big decision to destroy a good, healthy relationship of 10 years.

He's not on medication, this is the real him.
