xkcd: Christmas Plans 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It is easy... Christmas is before/after/in the middle of Hanukkah That should be definitive enough to you... 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

My quantum physics is a little rusty (he said, keeping a perfectly straight face...) but isn't that wrong? Because he doesn't observe Christmas it CAN have a definite date - and contrarily, if he DID observe Christmas, then it could not. No?

Exactly vice versa.
The Copenhagen interpretation of QM implies that until a wave function collapses, the state of a particle is indeterminate (== the date of Christmas is unknown). Only after it collapses (i.e. the particle is observed), will the particle be in a determined state (== the date of Christmas is known).

yes, OK - I guess I'm confusing it with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Can you be certain of that?

So after spending the better part of my Sunday and a good bit of time today trying to get nUnit tests working in a VS2015 .NET Core (netstandard1.6) class library, I gave up and installed VS2017. Took maybe 5 minutes to move code over and everything works fine 
Now I'm wondering why it wouldn't work in VS2015 considering it's the same NuGet packages - Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 15.5, nUnit 3.9, and nUnit3TestAdapter 3.9. Anyone have a similar issue and find out the cause? I'm just curious at this point. It wouldn't even recognize the tests in VS2015

I dunno since I use xUnit now, when I discovered that Microsoft is doing so.
xUnit works well in VS2017.
I am surprised that NUnit doesn't work for you though.. did you install the VS runner?
|
|
|
|
|
Everything works in VS2017 just fine but for some reason wouldn't in VS2015. Same runner which supposedly should work for VS2012 and up (nUnit3TestAdapter 3.9) according to its documentation. So I'm just left scratching my head on what was going wrong in VS2015
|

Unless I'm missing something that is an extension for the nUnit engine/GUI to load VS projects. I was testing inside VS itself with the Test SDK and nUnit3TestAdapter.
I tried a few older versions of the NuGet packages in case something broke when they added the csproj support since VS2015 .NET Core class libraries still use the project.json format but had the same results. Oh well, as good an excuse as any to finally move over to VS2017 for personal projects

Does it get any more fun than using javascript to script javascript for a dynamic popout print window.  If it didn't actually work I wouldn't be laughing!

I've always found using php to write 'constants' into javascript an amusing exercise of craziness.

Hello,
Not sure this is quite the right place to post this, but I can't spot anywhere better. Feel free to tell me to post it somewhere else!
Can anyone recommend a good company the runs .Net training in Sydney? Specifically looking at C#. Could be related to a MS exam like Exam 70-483 [^].
I've googled around, and there are a few companies doing this sort of thing, but I'm not from Sydney and would prefer not to book 'blind' as it were.
Thanks,
Robert.

Most of the companies run courses that are too fast paced and too expensive to pickup things. I would subscribe to some self paced course online and do it myself instead of a class.

Maybe online would be the way to go then. Any recommendations?

I have subscription to pluralsight.com . Some good courses there and they have monthly subscription so you can try them before you commit.

My wife is serving Eggs Benedict on fancy hubcaps for Christmas breakfast this year. She says “There’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise”
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

A pity Dirk Benedict wasn't featured in "Blood and Chrome"

Surely he already had to deal with enough chrome back in 1978[^]?

would have replied earlier but chrome ate all my RAM and CPU,
took 3 hours to get to this page and another 4 to post it.
This Christmas I'm feeling generous: gonna load firefox on this clients machine and I wont charge him for the software, (only my time installing it).

A customer of mine sent me a bottle of Plantation XO, and a bottle of Highland Park for Christmas.
Plus I got a raise.
I'm happy as a clam!

I'm sorry to hear that. It's been scientifically proven that clams are perpetually depressed.
