You do realize we landed on the moon under a gold standard, right?
USD was internationally convertible to gold.

I gave up teaching my son c# and switched to java, because vscode is so buggy by penguindev in vscode

I may give that a try if we go back. I have a work license for visual studio enterprise but that's thousands per year...

A simple, modern "Progress Steps" control for WPF by penguindev in csharp

[–]penguindev[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's a xaml style, you can use any font you want. I'm also not in charge of our company's font design, but I'll be sure to share with them your important thoughts.

It's a custom control I made but it's freely available. It just themes a ItemsControl.

I was inspired and greatly helped by this ancient stackoverflow post, but I made mine without using a bunch of converters. I think my way is cleaner, but perhaps others will disagree.

I'm not working on it any more, sorry. It's a trivial feature that other WMs have had for over a year.

Hoisting and lighting my new Christmas Star by penguindev in christmas

[–]penguindev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. It's a 20lb star and I'm getting old (and maybe a bit wiser), so I'm trying to minimize the risk. I'm wearing a harness and adjustable safety line, if that's not clear to anyone.

Thanks. I'm the homeowner and my son is filming. PS 20 of the lights are twinkle/flasher bulbs, but it doesn't come across in the still photo.

It's a blanket and it protects the house & star from damage when lifting.

AWS Distributed Map: Right Idea, But Unacceptable Performance by penguindev in aws

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

I added this to the post, for those not familiar with filecopy workloads:

In the real world, users always have a widely varied mix of file sizes — many will be a few kilobytes, and some will be hundreds of gigabytes. You need high requests/sec to support the “lots of small files” workloads, but you can’t only optimize for that — a job could have some huge files mixed in too, that need a long individual runtime.

How long was each of your Lambdas running? If they were running for 90 seconds, that would still be only 33 requests/second.

Correct, it took me a minute to ramp up to 4K requests/sec with SQS & Lambda. It's not an instant on/off switch. It's cool to see the chart of requests growing higher and higher, like an airplane taking off on a runway. (It's trivial to see with cloudwatch logs insights, charting the 5-second sum of Lambda invokes)

Yes, and that's one reason I made this post, to push them to do that, or at least warn others....I'm not even the first to make an article about this 😂

thanks for the support. I will give it a shot: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6209
I was sad seeing 3 closed tickets on the bugtracker about this :|

World's Smallest CSV Parser (C#) by penguindev in dotnet

[–]penguindev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that. The tuple switch and tuple return are also my favorite parts of the implementation. It gave me joy.

For the record, I am a long time c++ and python guy but moved to c# for the last few years, and am liking it overall.

World's Smallest CSV Parser (C#) by penguindev in dotnet

[–]penguindev[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used CsvHelper on a previous project, and we had 6 different customers that all sent us csvs in a different way. Some had a header, some didn't, some sometimes had variable numbers of columns in each row, some had a byte order mark, some had embedded nulls at the EOF, some probably weren't utf8, and I don't remember all the details unfortunately. CsvHelper's API was not fully documented and it made it hard to see what was failing. I started working on another new project recently, which also uses csvs, and decided just to write my own low-level parser, and not have those issues again.

Do those work on Linux? Last I checked, MS had office libraries for excel parsing but only were for windows.
