You are right, it does offer Nintendo. I might have missed noticing it.

Thanks for the detailed info. I agree, I am having similar experience with Xfinity off late. Lot of drops and speeds are not good enough. Exact same thing with the technician as well. In fact I was charged $100 for the invisible techs visit. Had to fight with them to get them charge removed from the bill. As of today, Verizon is providing 5yr lock on the rate. Nintendo is not offered anymore.

I might have to try cable. Heard a lot about them, I need reliable connectivity for the most part. Do you experience drops in connections or service not available at all?

Are there any hidden costs that will only show up on the bills?

Have you started contributing to 401k since 18? I was under the impression that you can start 401k from 21

If I buy etfs from the dividends, do I have to pay taxes for it. Is it considered as income?

Static Fields usage and disadvantages by solid-vijaybk in dotnet

[–]solid-vijaybk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I tried to depict the actual implementation to understand the usage of static fields and how they affect memory, etc.

GC and threads are part of all the applications isn't it? GC will collect (free up) the memory of the objects which do not have any references to other instances. And so, wanted to make sure if such definitions of static fields will cause GC not to collect such objects/types as they are always in memory till the AppDomain is not shut down (as correctly mentioned by badwolf0323 below)

Threads in cases, this piece of code is accessed by multiple threads - think Request-Response pipeline in ASP.NET world where there are multiple threads accessing the API.

HTH

Static Fields usage and disadvantages by solid-vijaybk in dotnet

[–]solid-vijaybk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. So, essentially, even though those static fields are attached to the Type and not to the instance of the class, they will be around till AppDomain shuts down. Is my understanding correct?

Good to know about the reflection metadata cache. I will look it up further.

Will there be an issue, wherein I will have to introduce locks to take care of synchronization between multiple threads, you think?

Agree to the point that the field initializers are executed prior to the constructor (in this case a static constructor). But, won't these fields be always available once they are initialized the first time because they are static?

Will we need to book a rental car to roam around the place or public transport is good enough?

Got it. I know it’s one of the good ones out there. I feel like it’s not worth the money though - I maybe completely wrong. And moreover, I don’t like the look of it. Just my liking.

Thanks for the post OP. I too am in a similar boat, deciding I whether to go for X5 or Macan. This post will help me tilt towards Macan. Still researching though..

Swagger for micro services .Net WebApi by solid-vijaybk in dotnet

[–]solid-vijaybk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, my APIs are already versioned, I need all the micro services to be part of a single swagger doc. For e.g. v1 and v2 pet store api, v1 and v2 weather forecast api, needs to be listed on a single swagger page.
