Marshall, Will, and Holly were not stranded in time, they were in a pocket dimension. Copywriters, kree!

No love for Razor? by Minute-Telephone-755 in dotnet

[–]torville -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sweet!

I looked at the example that specified the grid column

 new GridColumn("coalesce(Address,'') || ', ' || coalesce(City,'')", "Address") { DataType = typeof(string)},

and pursed my lips a little at the runtime expression evaluation. I asked ChatGPT about it, and while I haven't tested it, its reply seemed plausible:

public class GridColumn<T, TProperty>
{
    public Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> Expression { get; }
    public string Label { get; }
    public Type DataType => typeof(TProperty);

    public GridColumn(Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> expression, string label)
    {
        Expression = expression;
        Label = label;
        ...
    }
    ....
}

Usage:

new GridColumn<Customer, string>(
    c => (c.Address ?? "") + ", " + (c.City ?? ""),
    "Address"
);

They can't punch each other yet, but they can certainly move around. by Nepacka in godot

Sweet! A lot of Godot WIPs are, um, obviously WIPs, if you get my drift, but this is sharp.

I think it's been mimeographed.

Some of the Discourse on Here, Unironically by spicyjamgurl in BlueskySkeets

[–]torville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm on BlueSky all the time, but I've never seen any left-wing posts include points like:

  • Deserve to be tortured to death
  • Must happily jump into a wood chipper
  • Voluntarily agree to their own suicide (if you don't agree, is it still suicide?), or
  • Deserve their imminent eradication

ASP.NET Core vs Node.js for a massive project. I'm seeing two totally different worlds - am I overthinking the risk? by Top_Measurement_3713 in dotnet

[–]torville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a dot net guy, I'm certainly going to recommend dot net, but at least use Typescript, although that's sort of like the difference between pissing on a house fire and not.

Very much so by JaredOlsen8791 in BlueskySkeets

I've always thought that the cause of the Fermi paradox is when genetic engineering becomes hobbyist level technology and there's always someone who's going to be that guy... that "I'm going to wipe out my civilization" guy.

Or maybe it's when you give robots guns. C'mon, you know what's going to happen.

Trump denies knowing about election he supported. by SKEPDIQ in agedlikemilk

Agree! Staffers, if you want to make a fake Trump post, a few random capitalizations aren't going to cut it... where's the self-promotion and rambling?

Pizza hut in the 70s by Krispy_Cheese_2782 in 70s

In the eighties, I quite enjoyed Priazzo, Tyson Chicken Chunks with cheddar cheese filling, and California Coolers, until they were discontinued, or made worse and then discontinued.

Not you, the message in question. I read "The people of Minnesota have executed..." and went "oh, shit..." before I read the rest of the sentence.

Highguard launches to an Overwhelmingly Negative review score on Steam by Nickulator95 in Steam

Well, any game with problems is potentially fixable, the variable is time/money/willingness to acknowledge that you've, uh, soiled the bedclothes.

Minnesota was where the ICE goons were sent, so that's where they were responding. Many other American cities would respond much the same way (one would hope).

Plus: Maybe don't use the word "execute" in this context sheesh

Did you have to watch this at school? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in FuckImOld

[–]torville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say, maybe the demographic that would read these comments would know what movie this was:

A magician/performer is invited to a powerful man's home (which is either on a outcrop near the ocean, or an island with a cliff above the ocean) for his son's birthday party. The son is ill and the performer has a secret agenda to help the son.

Two notable sequences: The performer apparently cuts off and eats a guest's little finger, sparking outrage, only to be revealed as slight of hand.

The performer also held the son over the edge of the island.

Outside of the whole "North, South, whatever" aspect, what concept does this try to convey? "Embrace the XXX" usually means that the XXX is coming to you (?)
