If you and your colleagues failed to solve this problem, why do you think this student would be able to solve it, alone, without funding and an advisor to help? I feel like this sets him up for failure.

@Hosch250 I think they're great to introduce you to some subjects/concepts, but you need to dig deeper afterwards.

That's what I tried to say, it's kind of a norm

Yeah the thing degenerated pretty quickly, at least he seemed to have agree to stop harassing the other user.

It's all in the post related to the chatroom I linked above

I just did

Right now the situation is defused, it'd be okay if it stayed this way, but surely this goes against community rules and I don't really know what to do about it

Because I don't feel like potentially getting flooded myself.

Yeah I know, not everyone has the same criteria for VTC. I feel like these divergences in opinions will only continue to grow with the growth of the site

I think it's context dependent. In this case, I don't think the missing variables creates confusion regarding the context, it's clear what the code does

@Peilonrayz I think it's slightly off-topic because there are some variables that are used in the code that we don't know what they're doing. Although I think the question could've stayed open and easily answered.

Ahaha alright then, as I said it's great to experiment

@t3chb0t I feel obligated, considering the subject at hand, to ask : Why would you use this instead of using the ctor? Ahah

I actually have two different computers in front of me with two keyboards and everything.

I started writing my answer to the other post before going into chat ahah

@t3chb0t Maybe.. :p

Yeah that's for sure, it's a complicated thing to think about

You should try to sit in front of the code you've built and try to figure out in which scenarios it could evolve badly or what edge cases you could face, that'd be a good exercise I think

That's a good plan, all you gotta do now is keep your ears open to challenges that'll face you (I think you've proven here that you can do this)

Try to introduce small things first

Ahah alright, you know what once again that's exactly how it was in my previous team. And the best decisions that were taken were compromises between the DDD expert and the procedural guy.

I think that's the best way to go, but I also don't have enough information to give you the answer. Talk with your team, think about it. Making architectural decisions is probably the biggest challenge of software engineering.

What I'd recommend is to get your group involved in the decisions. The more heads are on a problem, the biggest the chance someone will catch a potential problem

I think that experience brings the mindset of "Alright I shouldn't do that because of X consequence", but it takes some tries to get there

I just wanted to say that I think you've got a right mindset, it's important to ask yourself if it's a good idea to build tools and try to use them. You'll grow a lot from it. I've grown a lot from trying things that ended up failing, it's probably where I've learnt the most in all my career. Maybe you'll try your thing and it'll work, I just don't think so 'cause it's what I would've tried to do before too.

'Cause I wanted to write something else and the comments were getting long

Hey I moved the discussion to chat

@S'pht'Kr I understand your point, what I'm saying is that the experience I've had with those exact technologies and this exact mindset is that models and DTOs grow apart in the lifetime of the application and that if you couple them you end up with problems.

@S'pht'Kr yes, it is flawed. Your model class will probably be complex and validation heavy with maybe nested domain classes, where your DTOs should be dummy {get; set;} properties. I don't really have the space to write all the reasons I think it'll probably bounce back in your face, but think of the consequences on contravariance, covariance, on the evolution of your model objects, on the dependencies your DTO will have.

@S'pht'Kr What I mean is, sit down and try to think of all the ways it could go wrong in a month, year, 5 years, if you leave, etc and ask yourself if it's still worth it to go this way

@t3chb0t Well that sucks because I took time to write my answer ahah, but I'm almost certain that whatever is added to the code won't make this builder pattern worth it.

I will do that, thanks!

Is it possible that the differences in benchmark time only come from different environment (maybe my computer is much faster than yours?)

That's what I thought :p

Under Debug, you mean?

It's a dumb question, but you ran your analysis in Release mode, right?

using System;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes;
using System.Runtime;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using BenchmarkDotNet.Running;

namespace SpanVsArray
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BenchmarkRunner.Run<Bench>();
        }
    }

    [RPlotExporter, RankColumn]
    public class Bench
    {
        [Benchmark]
        public void OP() => OP(33);

        [Benchmark]
        public void Mine() => Mine(33);

Yeah I'll do that. If I can learn something out of it it's worth it :p

Maybe there's a compiler optimization that was made that made the benchmark act weird

Thanks for running the benchmarks, I don't know why my results were so weird on my computer

@VisualMelon I removed the Jodrell's code because I don't have the right .net version for this, but I'll keep you updated

@VisualMelon I've added the benchmark code. I will also run your gist on my computer to see if the results are different

@VisualMelon I don't think this is a 2* improvement, if I understand what you mean properly. The first result is ~9ns, the other is ~18000ns.

@VisualMelon I've edited my question to use a proper benchmark tool.

I'm not sure I understand the premise of the question. Does the wizard need to protect itself from the fire caused by the fire spells or from the heat generated from the wand because of the energy used to cast the spell?

Isn't "Lose Yourself - Eminem"'s backing track piano?
