It’s the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths

Ah! Your using Kanban then!

Someone has a compiler if statement left somewhere in their code (… probably)

I think you can already with web assembly?

It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

This posts entire comment chain is an interesting example of people that have extensive knowledge in completely different areas of programming to me. And have some concepts I had never heard/thought of.

EF can have big problems with “Cartesian explosions” if an object has two lists of sub objects to return, it will get listA length x listB length items due to how the joins work. You can see how this leads to the explosion part of the name (with more objects or lists).

Their solution is a “split query” option, that does each sub table as a separate query, then seamlessly gives you the combined result.

If a change like this let’s you get those different table lists as distinct lists with the processing and round trip time of multiple requests then it could be a game changer.

(Source - my last week 🤣😭 + lots of EF docs)

SQL returns subsets of all tables with only those tuples that would be part of the traditional (single-table) query result set

So it returns only the data that would be returned from the query, so the filtering is done.

I can see some uses of it. If you look at what something like Entity Framework does behind the scenes to return nested objects, you can see how something like this might help.

It needs to understand that that code is bad to be able to do that though

I think that has been an outlier so far, its good to have one that makes you re-evaluate your solution once in a while.

Definitely a time sink though!

The historic high salary for COBOL Devs etc is also partially due to them mostly being old and extremely experienced senior devs

OK.

I’m doing them because it’s an excuse to do some interesting challenges however you want and have people to talk about them with.

Thank you for this! I always find out/remember about it half way through…

First day done and work leaderboard link shared!

It finished even faster when it crashes right?

Kinda acceptable if you have a slow release cadence. Everything needs to be reviewed and fixed/accepted (with defect/US raised) before production though.

Needs to be in a smaller team with decent Devs too though!

I thought the point of a game engine was to do that stuff…

Mostly top to bottom. But sometimes I write the body of the email, then add all the plesentarys after.

Or even write the email, then work out who it’s ‘to’ on the huge cc list…

Not the end of the world if they trim messages before sending them?

It means you can click a line and type there, no need to press enter a few times first.

Not email, but if I’m taking notes in a text editor I will hold down enter at the start to ensure I can just click and type anywhere.

Now, if that pointless whitespace is being sent, I can imagine it annoying people in long email chains.

I prefer it to black on white. Inferior to dark mode though.
