Q: C# File Rename and My Challenges?

LoveComplexityI wrote this code in c# for change location of some specific folder and all sub-folders of it. I want to change name of all folders when move it to destination. for example I want to change name from A, B and C to 1, 2 and 3 . how should I change my code to automatically do this: using System; u...

 
3:01 PM
nooooo
my duck's damaged
 
what happened?
 
too much fondling
the logo is coming off
 
aww
it's not a toy!!
 
Have any of you seen a duck like that made of actual rubber?
 
also, spot the differences
- less detailed wing
 
3:04 PM
and a color logo
 
- black logo vs white logo
 
And the eyes.
 
- lack of bump on head
- eyelashes
- eye direction
- mouth angle?
well, at least I have 3 replacement logos
(maybe it's a fake rubber duck)
@Mat'sMug why is it not a toy
why would a rubberduck not be a toy
 
It's a tool.
 
you're supposed to put it next to your monitor, and talk to it
8
 
3:07 PM
You use it to rubberduck.
 
I'm a very aggressive talker,
I talk with my hands
3
 
PIMGD SMASH!
4
 
@Pimgd Less detailed wing-end blades, less downforce, different size of tires...?
 
@skiwi yes, the duck doesn't run on electricity.
 
OH HI @Steven
 
3:08 PM
So yeah!
 
From our senior database architect:
> That sounds like a movie poster tagline. The Database Terminator.
 
Do not fondle your newly received rubberduck, the logo will scrub off!
Rub your duck with care.
 
@Pimgd but yours have hair ;)
 
I'm kinda sad now
 
ping JNat for complaining ;)
 
3:12 PM
@JNat why does the logo come off when you rub your duck
picture for reference
 
@Pimgd You must've done some really excessive rubbing then...
 
@Pimgd Why were you rubbing the duck?
8
 
@skiwi he was rubber ducking to much :)
 
Because it's so smooooth
also because it squeaks
and because I didn't know this would happen
and according to the rest, because I'm a brute =D
 
@JNat was there a manuel with the duck that say's you can't rub the duck?
 
3:13 PM
hmm, there was no such manual
 
@chillworld You're asking if we ship our swag with a manual?
5
The answer would be "no"
 
Was there a warning you shouldn't put your duck in the microwave rub your duck?
6
 
@JNat nah, I'm joking. In America that's sometimes needed or they dry a dog in a micro wave
 
Ofc the answer would be no, that'd be silly, who would need a manual for their duck, I mean, it's not as if you could do anything wrong to it...
or wait
 
@chillworld IKR
 
3:15 PM
@chillworld ;)
 
my McDonald's coffee cup says "CAUTION HOT!"
 
I'm thinking about getting a pen and redrawing the logo on it, but that's probably a bad idea
 
@Mat'sMug IKR? damn I'm feeling stupid now because I don't know what you mean
 
@Pimgd What could possibly go wrong there.
@chillworld I Know, Right?
Stupid slang...
 
@Mast me drawing badly... or somehow the ink is bad for the rubber
or I dunno, pens are sharp
 
3:17 PM
Yea, you could seriously hurt yourself. Or the duck.
 
(Plus I seem to be a woefully inadequate duck handler.)
 
@Pimgd go to tattoo shop ^^
 
I don't think tattoo shops will do ducks :P
Would make for a nice documentary...
"The duck with the Code Review tattoo."
3
 
@JNat can't you send him a new one, and put a note with it : Take out, place it somewhere and never touch it again
 
If I had two I could put them together and then they'd make infinite ducks
 
3:19 PM
We really need a deck with lots of stars on it, because I don't have them anymore
 
or maybe that's not how ducks work
how is duck formed
 
an egg
 
ah, that makes sense
but what came first, the duck or the egg
 
question is, which came first - the egg, or the duck?
lol
 
@chillworld I bothered poor @JNat a ton already about my shirt, and then in the end it was "eh, just do the original size" and it fit perfectly
but that's because converting clothing sizes is hard
I'm clumsy like that
 
3:22 PM
when in doubt, just pick a large. nevermind
 
@Pimgd lol I received a ZK shirt. Here I have size XL because I'm big. Looks like Taiwan size XL is for horizontal big in stead of vertical big :)
 
I have 2XL and it fits ... but it's a bit tight around the chest area
 
so the shirt in in the closet and I'm receiving a new one (this times a Large ^^)
 
that's what you get for being 2m tall
 
@Pimgd certainly not made for Chinese people then
1m87 here
 
3:24 PM
okay it's not 2m
more like
1.97?
depends on time of day =)

Along with the user, I see.
 
@Mast Perhaps you should adjust your query to have avg for Qs and As, and also account for the fact Q UV are 5 rep and A UV are 10 rep
Maybe you can rank over the sum of the two efficiency ratios
That would be a good SQL learning exercise ;)
I found a UI bug with SEDE :|
Do those go on MSE or on the SEDE github repo? @Mat'sMug ?
 
either, I'd say.

Whoops, just noticed it's not a bug after a sanity check, I used dense_rank() instead of row_number() and so some ranks were duplicated if the order by values were equal...

.       Provide on-campus support to our existing customer base while discovering and developing new relationships and business opportunities
.       Educate customers on CDW.G by highlighting the value and expertise offered to the University
 
Can be anything from the on-location tech support behind the front desk to something way more sophisticated.

Sure. They sell a lot of products and services, CDW-G is a branch of CDW (which is more for private businesses). AFAIK they have a really solid operations
 
Cool.
It looks like they want a marketer to market specifically to IT.
 
Is it a sales position?
 
5:21 PM
I put my name in that I was interested, but if I'm just going to be marketing, I'm not going to accept.
We are seeking a Marketing/Account Executive Intern to work on campus closely with our customers at the department level giving them a better understanding of CDW.G's offerings, internal systems and processes. You will focus on building existing relationships with IT professionals within the University in order to increase CDW.G presence and identify larger IT opportunities.

This is a fun and dynamic experience that compliments any business discipline.  Our interns are given a fair range of autonomy and responsibility as they build skills in enterprise account management.
 
Yeah that's definitely a marketing position
 
Fun and dynamic experience
Oh boy
 
@Pimgd Catch words...
 
@Hosch250 I've actually worked quite a bit with their account managers, I'd say you probably know more about technology than the average (a lot of them come from a marketing background it seems)
