I noticed a GUID that got generated by our app for some stuff.
baa647b8...
I wonder if I'll ever see baadf00d....

Well yes, hex is written in upper case. But this is a GUID, which is frequently stored as a text string, and is case-sensitive. Google for upper/lower case GUID and you'll find all sorts of pain; some systems generate GUIDs in upper case, some in lower. For those database systems that have a field type of GUID, most will return their text form as upper case, but not necessarily all do. If in any doubt where your GUIDs are coming from (e.g. a URL querystring) always be aware when doing comparisons!

I do the UI's for our products, including the graphics. My graphic tool of choice has been Paint.NET[^] for a long time. Given that acuity in my left eye is poor and my right eye is a prosthetic, I've got the Windows mouse pointer size turned up fairly high. Using paint.net, I would lose the cross-hair cursor against the white background. I'd then have to move the mouse so that I could find the cursor against the gray area outside the image being edited, c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y move it back into the image, and get back to work.
The following change in paint.net 5.0.10 almost makes me cry:
- Fixed: All mouse cursors will now honor the Windows setting for adjusting the mouse pointer size
Such a small change for such a big improvement in the experience of using a favorite app.
You bet your ass I sent them a thank-you feedback message.

I've worked on code bases where I was tempted to change my coding font to Chiller[^]

I hope this works ...
[edit]No, it didn't - I didn't think it would work without the font installed. [/edit]

Yeah, I know. Arial is merely Helvetica with the serial numbers filed off.
I work in the commercial ink-jet printing business. You wouldn't believe how much crap we deal with because of fonts, data formats, printer language, and rendering issues.

I've been playing around with Ansible, Terraform, etc to provision VMs, I was wondering what do you guys use to automatically configure brand new PCs to your liking?
Do you write powershell scripts or similar to install all the software and configure, shortcuts, environment variables, etc?
Is there a tool like ansible to locally configure a system based on a configuration file?
Also, out of curiosity, how long have been without formating a Windows computer? My current record seems to be around 3 years.
Note: I'm only refering to literal personal computers. Not the ones provided by your employer, VM in clouds, etc

I have loooooonnng done no format.
When I get a new pc / laptop, I install windows offline. Do an image #1.
I install my MUST software. Do an image #2.
I install all needed updates, windows included. Do an image #3
I install all my NICE software. Do an image #4
I install all the fast paced software (browsers, antivirus...). Do an image #5
Start using the computer.
Every time I feel like a good moment, I restore from image #5. Update what I have to update. Do an image overwriting #5
If I change some consumable hardware (i.e. printer). I restore from #4, do all updates, overwrite image #4. Install fast paced software. Overwrite image #5
Continue using the computer.
The only time I start over again is when something really serious happens or when I change the windows version. I do not like the version update, I prefer a "clean" install
with the VMs is something similar. I prefer to have minimalistic dedicated VMs for special software. So I have a VM like #1, #2, #3. Then a couple of VMs of #4 and several of #5
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
