I was floored when Finch, giving advice to a young programmer, says something about "if you want your program to be multithreaded, you have to use atomic variables." I mean, that's actually right! How often do you here techno-babble on a TV show that is correct?
And how many people watching had totally the wrong idea when he said "atomic", hahaha.

Seldom.
I wrote a longer response but my tablet updated and it disappeared… POC
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

Same here. Jim Caviezel was rather excellent as Mr Reece.

 Thanks for the tip. I was looking for something new to watch.
The last series I binge watched was "Halt and Catch Fire".
What we got here is a failure to communicate

There was a spot the difference picture and it was pretty clear what main feature was different as it was against the skyline of a building so stood out quite clearly, I thought it might have been a diversion for some other more tricky tiny change between the two pictures.
I then thought about image diffing, a quick search online and found an online one http://huddle.github.io/Resemble.js/[^]
Works a treat!

...why don't they "play nice" with the desktop in Win10?
Try this: open Windows explorer, and browse to an image file.
Right click the file, and you get a context menu.
Click on "Send To" and select "Mail recipient"
What happens?
Well, it depends. If you use Outlook, as I do - Office 2010 - then a new mail message appears with teh image set as an attachment, ready to go.
If you use the MS Mail app that comes with Windows 10...you get an error message that no mail program is installed, and explains what to do to fix it. Try and follow the instructions and you find that you have got a mail app installed and registered: "Mail". 
Why is this a problem? Because I'm upgrading a friend's mother's lappie to Win 10, and guess how she used to do it on XP? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I tried to uninstall an app from the new Win10 Settings/System/Apps & Features page.
The app just would not install, no messages, no popups, no nothing. Switch to the real page in the control panel and 1st attempt gone......Spent ages as well looking up why this app wouldn't install or looking for any uninstall executable in its install folder etc. etc. Should have just gone to the control panel in the first place would save me some effort, and its better looking than all this crappy new dull forms.

I also hate the fact that you cannot uninstall most of the built-in apps by just clicking "Uninstall" (it's grayed out). You have to go and use PowerShell to remove them. And some system apps (like Edge or Cortana) cannot be removed at all unless tempering with the installation image (which might lead to problems since these are so deeply integrated into the OS now). That's why I use my own custom windows image with all the crap I don't need removed (which is all of the apps except for Edge and the Calculator).

Hi there!
Windows 10 has a "god mode" like its more recent predecessors. Do those settings behave differently after "god mode" is enabled?
Regards.
|
|
|
|

I don't think so. AFAIK the new "god mode" is just the result of searching the Settings app using a wildcard ("*") which will simply present you with a list of all the settings that are available in there. But the old god mode is still there, although some of the stuff is less useful and has been removed in favor of the app.

Er ... no ... I get a polite message telling you that no mail program is associated which is an entirely different matter.

Been there, seen it. Sometimes the image files do not go well with the Metro Image Viewer, and under some conditions even the calculator does not run ("This app is not trusted").

It was such a nice thing in c++ to make exception safe classes to clean up details. This compared to the "ugly using".

I'm beginner in c# and equivalent (.net stuff). Still I'm on a point that I hate some points on .net at the moment. .net should help programmers in the way one can forget memory leaks.... but in the same way I need to check whether a class is IDisposable... Most probably it is my age, but c++ was much more clear , at least for me  It was simply: I am responsible for resources.
Yep, after some time I think I do not miss det. dtor, simply because it is not available anymore

It would be sweet if one could set the syntax-highlighter for IDisposable's

Interesting idea for an extension. How would you suggest it to look like?
Now with Roslyn it shouldn't be so hard to write an analyzer that nags you if you forget to call Close/Dispose (or suggest a refactoring to a using-block) on IDisposable types (maybe something like that already exists?)

I'm guessing it's harder than you think.
Sure, if the disposable exists in small scope, but what if it is, for example, the return value of a function or contained in a closure?
Determining the scope and lifetime of a variable can be pretty tricky.
|
|
|
|
|
Found something here[^]. It's at least smart enough to ignore disposables returned from methods.
|
|
|
|
|
That looks promising.
So why aren't you writing this extension yet?
