@M.Doerner It was more edge than that. It didn't work if the remote was specified with a UNC path. Mapped network drives were fine.

I do wonder though if it would be better to dispense with the .net wrapper, and just interact with Git over command line params. I think that's how TortoiseGit works?

(I could be entirely wrong on that though)

One other thing I think could have helped was dispensing with the external config for "where is the local?", and just use convention. Given C:\Workbook1.xls, the local would be in a folder called C:\Workbook1.src

I had a few ideas when I was mulling a separate SC add-in, before I got distracted by new and shiny things...

Oh, had some good news today. I think I'm getting traction on var-acceptance at work. There's one dev who hates var and another that's unconvinced, but I think I'm winning the argument.

@Vogel612 are you done with Uni now?

nah, I wanna get a master's

and I still need to write my thesis

oh ok, no I meant your undergrad. just the thesis left though, that's cool :-)

You must be on track for a 1st?

(not sure if you have the same grading in Germany?)

1st?

So in the UK, a 1st is "the top level of undergrad degree"

then there's 2:1, 2:2, 3rd and Pass

wat

I don't get any of that :sweat_smile:

Do you have pass categories in Germany? Or just pass/fail?

there is grades beyond passing

usually it's in decimals with 1.0 being the best and 4.0 being "passed"

Ah ok. That makes much more sense than our system...

we're still on Imperial :-)

fwiw I'm on track to have a two in front, which is pretty good IMO

nice!

congrats

Any idea on what you're gonna do your masters thesis on?

no clue, the bachelor's thesis is going to be about moving some stuff from XML to YAML and adding some UI features

Anyone want to have a stab at my question please: stackoverflow.com/questions/58024698/… ; or suggest how I could make it clearer? Or investigate further what is going? I suspect the answer lies in the MS class implementations ergo no real answer due to lack of visibility of what is going on under the hood. No worries if no one has time as I know you are all busy.

@QHarr I'm very confused why querySelectorAll does not return a DispHTMLElementCollection

the Disp is for "display"

@Vogel612 Does that equate to 1.0 = A+, 2.0 = A, 3.0 = B, 4.0 = C? Kinda sorta following the 'Murican grading style?

1.0 = A

1.3 ~= A-, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D, 5 = F

anything below a 4 is a 5

usually it goes something like 50% of points are a 4.0 and then there's a linear gradient to "full marks"

How many decimal places?

Just one?

yea

Still way more precise than UK or US

most grades are just with a .3 difference from full marks

so 1.0, 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, 2.3, 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.7, 4.0, 5.0

some profs do give arbitrary decimal marks, though

@Vogel612 Oh, that's kinda a shame. If you're gonna do decimals to 1 d.p....

depends a bit on what you're studying

OK now I have legitimate imposter syndrome... I'm halfway through, and on track for "perfect" in UK grading. And I know a fraction of what Vogel does...

most of what I know I did not learn in UNI

^

^^

uni isn't intended to confer programming knowledge

Vogels going above and beyond. I doubt his colleagues are on his level either.

@Vogel612 That makes me feel a little better.

Like how Hosch goes above and beyond as well.

I know a crapton of people at uni that are really awesome in their "above and beyond" specializations

like that person who wrote a mailfilter in haskell

!

or that other person who manages the whole infrastructure needs of our "student association"

but I'm something of a Java specialist around there

that haskell person actually wrote a parser for finite state machines with template metaprogramming

"because it's fancy and trades compilation time for runtime"

@Vogel612 So am I. "Don't write Java". Done. ;-)

Hating aside, is there anything Java does better than C# these days, other than ubiquity?

I'm not too up to date, actually, but AFAIK the module system introduced in java 9 is different from C#

googles

Uh, looks like metapackages?

yea, it seems similar

@IvenBach twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/1175152851372392448

I do wonder how much longer Java will be used for greenfield. It's been obliterated on the client, but is still strong on the server. But with cloud and microservices, there's many other options available. And now, Net Core is investing heavily to try and capture share...

java has the advantage that large swathes of enterprise tooling are aimed at and / or written in java

true. I just wonder if that's permanent...

Java is slow to react

(as a language)

hadoop, apache spark, vast amounts of WSDL/SOAP stuff as well as XMI and humungous toolchains surrounding MDSD

yeah, it's ingrained, that's true.

like... theoretically it should be pretty simple to replace existing model-to-text java generators with c# generators, but ...

the market will be somewhat slow to adapt, I think

It just feels... yesterday. But I'm biased.

especially considering the untold number of LoC out there that are not generated

I should really write some java code with modules, to see whether that feels more modern than java 8

I honestly doubt it, I've become spoiled by actually strongly typed languages like C# or haskell

Heh yeah. Type erasure is... just, no.

@Vogel612 It returns normally a static nodeList DispStaticNodeList but why it is doing this weird behaviour only for querySelectorAll with IE (and not for css selectors applied using selenium implementations)......

I wondered if it is something to do with the js framework used by the page...the DOM structuring.....

@Vogel612 mobile.twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/1175153441364160513

Life’s to blame, not me.

Been doing my best for years and it’s just now starting to pay off.

@IvenBach Well.... don't drink too much of the Kool-Aid. Sometimes, it's just your fault (bt; dt). Just learn from it and don't do it again.

ProTip: We're all winging it. Just at different levels.

Oh and yes, perfect is the enemy of good.

Hey @MathieuGuindon

Hi!

What do you think v3 should target?

RD 3.x?

yep

(target as in headline features, not frameworks!)

I suppose that means C# 8.x?

No no, I mean what's upcoming that would justify a major?

For RD

Oh

that's always been the Avalon code pane

That would be exceptionally good.

no idea what 4.x would do though

LSP :-)

Haha maybe!

(just my vote!)

:-)

I'd definitely be up for Avalon, if we can tie down the scope.

yeah, that needs to be planned - there are a number of problems that need to be solved in the higher 2.x builds first =)

I mean, prerequisites

@mansellan I own up when I’m at fault. When life throws a curve ball and catches you in the groin then keeps pelting you while you’re down it takes a long time to get up. :wink:

the inspector implementation will need an overhaul

Kidney shots hurt a bit.

@MathieuGuindon For Avalon code panes?
