I didn't realise Charlie and Lola did development training. I know they want kids to program earlier, but isn't that taking things a bit far.
Lola says: "You must absolutely completely remember to check that variable thingy's are not the same as null before using them to get at other thingys".

what?
string builders do do it in memory (how else would they do it?) they just don't create new instances for each concatenation
(yes I know it could write it out to disk)

Yes, obviously. That was my point... that the title and angle of that article are sensational and didn't really demonstrate anything. Had they used a StringBuilder to construct their strings, they would not have come to the conclusion that the hard drive was faster. In fact, since files are mutable data structures, they essentially used the hard drive as a StringBuilder (albeit a very slow one)

Less processing is quicker than more processing?
Don't be ridiculous.
You're obviously not using enough frameworks.

Reminds me of this Connect bug report[^], linked to this blog post[^].
Two years later and it's still open, even though the "bug" was just the author's misunderstanding.

Yes, when you adopt VB6 approach to string-manipulation everything goes pear-shaped.

I'm stunned by how often I see people doing things like:
var sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(strText + ", ");
Wait.... You're using a StringBuilder to avoid concatenation, and then use concatenation anyway... ??
Truth,

Nothing too wrong with that. It's not that costly to concatenate strings unless you're adding to the same string repeatedly.

I just fixed a bug in an old piece of crap code that was bugging me for several weeks because it's near impossible to identify what the code is actually doing. Now I can hope again that I never have to touch this steaming pile of legacy code again - YAY!
What's your good news for today?

3.5 hour commute? The last time I did one of those was a 50-year flood in the San Francisco Bay. All highways were going nowhere.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Is "Hungariaorszag" the hungarian word for Hungary?
Have a great time!

Magyarorszag is Hungarian for Hungary, I just combine the two.

Being fairly new to c# .net, I managed to make the system tray balloon notification work in a Console Application.
All I had to do was run the application and create my own context for it.
Feels like a break through and I can move on to other aspects of the program.
Might I also mention that tomorrow is Friday and I think it's going to be an interesting evening/night.
Can't say more in the Lounge though
