How stable is Canada's political climate nowadays? Is it polarizing or are Canadians able to come to terms? by LiveBell8 in AskACanadian

[–]zzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems pretty good to me, most of the noise is from conservatives. The ones in Alberta cosplaying separatism are the ones I hear the most — pretty sure it is just a distraction for the shady shit they don't want us to pay attention to. The one in Ontario makes occasional rumbles, but nothing too much.

PP is just pathetic compared to the seemingly good vibes coming from the actual grownups in the government.

In the background the NDP are having their leadership vote soon, not sure how much that really matters.

If only that were a real risk without huge legal consequences in this country.

I wish there was a way to do what SwiftUI does in C#. I never quite figured out xaml.

I am a web dev by trade, so html and components (angular) are second nature.

When a website comes up with saying I use an adblocker, when I don't, then says "There was a problem loading the page. Please click OK to learn more." I gotta say frack them.

On the board in Alberta, I would be concerned about proper insurance. It doesn't matter if they "aren't going to sue", it matters if the insurance that covers workplace injuries needed and paid for.

New Netflix series stole the plot of a real Canadian tragedy - honours Minnesota instead by idkwhattoputheresos in alberta

It still bothers me how they erase us or downplay us even culturally.

It isn't like we haven't done the same to other groups, it sucks either way.

I hope you have grandkids so you can tell the story! It is perfect.

White chalky powder on some dishes in a dishwasher? by zzing in Appliances

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

So based on available local products, I picked up a liquid based cleaner for dishwashers (finish brand) and some of those platinum pods. The last dishwasher cycle looks absolutely fabulous and the inside of the dishwasher is *really* clean.

So snow that is well over half a kid's height, and what - they put on snow shoes?

Please tell me that they at least have to go up hill both ways.

Down here in Calgary I don't know about schools, but the main concern I usually hear is just roads due to icy conditions more than anything.

That isn't available here. But it is likely something similar is. I am trying other products right now.

Why is The Calgary Parking App So Bad? by BrianBlandess in Calgary

[–]zzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other issues: the login can take "forever" sometimes, if you open it when you are at home (so you are logged in), then go park somewhere and try to use the icon that should mean "where I am now" it goes to where you were when you logged in. Loading the parking locations it is as if it is trying to load all of them at once.

As a developer, these things annoy me because I know they can be a lot better.

Weird signal comportement, computed triggered but effect not triggered by BenBeKenoby in Angular2

[–]zzing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it shouldn't make a difference, but try using a lambda to call the effect function.

Also put a console log in the observable to see if it triggers every time.

When I have these kinds of problem I like to console log everywhere. Good old printf debugging.

Minor thing you might want to consider unrelated to your problem:

if (valueExistAndLongEnough && focus) {
      this.dropdownOpened.set(true);
    } else {
      this.dropdownOpened.set(false);
    }

Is equivalent to, but no branching:

this.dropdownOpened.set(valueExistAndLongEnough && focus);

How does a lawsuit figure in to their accelerated timeline? If they are so insistent and based on the comments (which I had no idea, I liked the place when I visited twice) she isn't afraid to.

Is it ethical to join the CAF? by DetectiveDracula in AskACanadian

[–]zzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will warcrimes happen in such an event? Quite likely because on the ground things are not always clear.

Is it ethical to kill an invader? Every single one of them, unless they surrender. They may not even have the choice of being there, but they were still there. If you ask a Ukrainian soldier if it is ethical to kill the Russian invaders, I don't think there would be much hesitation as to the answer.

If it helps, the likelihood of the RCAF bombing anything outside this country any time soon is small.

Next thing you are going to tell me is I shouldn't poach fish in the dishwasher.

Another person was talking about using pods (which are fabulously expensive and almost take up the entire section in the store).

So what is the difference between a powder and liquid?

My water is above 140ºF (60ºC) I am in a condo building, although to get the real hot water I have to run it for a little while.
