@MathieuGuindon that is amazing to hear

i cannot imagine how much happier you must feel

the way you describe that reminds me of the bit at the end of matilda when she is finally placed in a grade equal with her abilities and then loses her psychic powers

@MathieuGuindon Quiet. Too quiet.

@HackSlash If I understand correctly, then, you created a form in Access.

Is it just me or is the text this page basically unreadable due to exceedingly poor color choices?

It's like they're trying to hide what they've done.

@FreeMan Has to be a parody website. Nobody makes Geocities pages anymore... right?

FreeMan

Hey, only 20 years old!

FreeMan

Geocities? Is that a general slam on the early web or am I missing something somewhere? The only way I could read the text there was to select it so I had a nice white on blue background. Seriously, light grey text on a muted color background is... Well, it's making me question the sanity of half the team that invented C.

It also doesn't help that they have at least 3 different font sizes

And who knew that the founder of Wendy's™ was also into software design philosophies.

this

and yes a slam on early web. The way I remember it, image background (for bonus, tiled background) were way too common. Any pizza faced kid could make a "web page" on geocities and it'd be all kind of wrong.

@FreeMan I thought it was Dave Thomas? Never heard of Ward Cunningham.

FreeMan

My memory is failing me. :( I conflated Ward Cunningham with Brian Kernighan of K&R fame...

And yes, the last "signatory" listed is Dave Thomas.

Yuck. Documenting all the processes that have organically grown & developed over the last 6 years (without any planning whatsoever) in preparation for handing them off to the poor sap who will be replacing me.

I fall very squarely into the "programmers don't like doing documentation" camp.

this

Better hope that the poor sap isn't a psychotic ax murderer.

and more importantly that the said murderer won't find where you live.

FreeMan

lol. Yeah, well, I'm doing my best to document. None of this stuff is hard, but it's certainly not optimal.

Q: Rigorously checking whether 2 floating point numbers are close in VBA - Exercise in Test Driven Development

I'm testing performance regression of some code I wrote (this is not that code) by timing its execution in Unit tests. I would like to see if execution time equals some expected value within a given degree of accuracy, e.g. <1% change. VBA doesn't have this built in as far as I'm aware, so I wrot...

Looking at 5825. It does seem to be pretty straightforward, but I cannot find where the annotations are assigned to an inspection group.

I figure it's in a configuration file somewhere, not in code, but full text searches for PredeclaredId and Rubberduck Opportunities haven't turned up anything that jumps out at me as being the right place.

Tips?

Q: Edit 14 day weather forecast Excel VBA to include precipitation

I found the code below which works nicely and I think I can repurpose it for my needs, but does not include the precipitation. I'm relatively new to HTML so having trouble understanding what each line of code's purpose is. I've gone to the website and looked at the elements and console but can'...

Several of the guests are secretly playing Meta Board Game Party. Every minute of parallel debate in the breakaway faction earns double victory points!

@FreeMan that part is rather confusing, there's these but I don't think they're used and it would be interesting to see whether/how we could get rid of it.

The actual defaults should be here in CodeInspectionDefaults.settings - it's well hidden under the Properties folder of the CodeAnalysis project ;-)

(tbh it's actually the perfect place and name for this, it's just not a place you'd usually think to look)

@MathieuGuindon OK, I believe I've found it. It comes with a nifty little editor pane. I hit F2 to edit, but there's no scroll bar to move down, and the moment I hit an arrow key, it takes me to the blank 2nd row to add another setting.

Tips?

TBH, I'm not sure it's in there, though. There's a CodeInspectionDefaults.Designer.cs file below it, and searching that one doesn't seem to reveal anything about PredeclaredId or Exposed

Well, actually, that seems like a good idea.
