Did you know if you're working in the #Windows command line you can use clip to pipe the output of your command to the clipboard? 👀
For example, you can do this in cmd if you want to copy and paste the info somewhere else (rather than manually having to select the output to copy it):
I honestly can’t think of a reason why anyone who tried both #VisualStudio and #JetBrainsRider would prefer VS.
Except maybe: „VS is what I‘m used to, don’t move my cheese“.
@bitbonk I prefer to debug in VS, write most code in VSCode and use Rider for its semi decent highlighting of C# in raw string literals. Use whatever is comfortable and keeps you productive, they are all amazing IDEs!
@bitbonk I find it simpler for multi startup apps and I prefer the UI, I’ve yet to fully explore all options in Rider yet so it’s possible I can make my experience better by changing a few settings here and there. Over time my preference changes though, a year ago I was using VSCode for everything and before that mostly VS then before that VSCode etc with Rider thrown in between every now and then. Whatever feels easiest at the time is usually what I’ll use.
Last year I did #AdventOfCode live streams, working to solve them as quickly as possible when the problems went live.
I usually get to some point where the problems hit skills I don't have (usually math skills) which often led to struggle streams that inevitably gets cut off so I can just go think about the problem.
I also did one after the fact video about applying #tdd to AoC. I decided this year that's all I'm going to do: a handful of problems from a TDD perspective, to teach technique.
@shanselman we’ve all been there, my most common one comes from whenever I need to type disk at work, luckily in this modern world that word is fading away! Have we run out of dick space?
Okay #dotnet peeps. I'm trying to upgrade packages in Jetbrains #Rider, but there doesn't seem to be a way to multiple select a bunch of packages in the Nuget window and do right-click => "update". I seem to have to do it one package at a time. This makes (for example) upgrading from .Net 8 RC1 to RC2 extremely painful.
I refuse to believe such a basic feature isn't available.
@damselfly@khalidabuhakmeh I like using the dotnet global tool dotnet-outdated for this kind of thing, always find it ends up being much faster than any UI
@damselfly@khalidabuhakmeh yeah I haven’t yet been able to switch to Rider, I’m bouncing between VS Code and full VS these days, haven’t tried Rider this year yet though. I prefer VS Code most of the time except for debugging where full VS I find faster. Last time I tried Rider I couldn’t get used to it fast enough and I don’t like the UI much. Lot of people really love it but I guess it just depends what you get used to.
A weird feeling as I’ve dedicated my career to sharing others’ achievements but I’m talking a moment to celebrate myself. I’ve been promoted to Vice President of Developer Community at Microsoft!
When I heard the news I went on a virtual thank you tour, to teachers who supported my curiosity, to bosses who were welcoming…
I just want to say thank you to everyone who favourites, boosts and comments on my posts. I've had such a crap time recently and I so appreciate you all going out of your way to interact with me in these ways. It is also truly lovely to find people who are as enthusiastic about drystone and flowers/nature as I am.
My experience of mastodon is, thus far, entirely positive. A corner of the internet full of kind, interesting, and interested people.
I work a lot with C# #dotnet at work but also for my personal projects.
Even though it is an #opensource technology, I understand when people are still reluctant to work with it. There are many reasons: 100% driven by Microsoft, practical absence of life outside of Microsoft tooling and lack of a proper open source debugger.
But what's the alternative when you want a high level, strongly and statically typed language which is far from the big corpos?
@khalidabuhakmeh@josejfernandez I’ve heard good things about Kotlin but haven’t tried it yet. Generally I’ve not yet found a need to go outside of dotnet, but I don’t do a lot of work outside work.
Ok bear with me. I realized today that I’ve had the same 1/4” analog 5.1 speakers on my PC for the last 15+ years.
What’s the word on PC speakers? Sound bar? Something USB? Teams has positional sound but I don’t think it works with old color (yellow, blue, green) speaker wires.
Really enjoyed building this niche (with vertical stones in the back). Felt like doing something a bit different and I like how, visually, the vertical lines really make the niche its own wee space.
A lot of drystone that may seem complicated from the outside is really just about taking a step back, not getting ahead of yourself, and being meticulous. Having some really great feature stones helps, too, of course. This niche is 20cm wide, 30cm high, and is a lovely addition to this structure.
🇯🇵👾💴💸 Hello 2023 and Hello Mastodon! It's time for a Mastodon-exclusive thread of mildly-interesting, (usually) video-game-related items that I've found up for auction on Yahoo! Auctions Japan. Let's (-a) go!
