Yeah I found out from linked in. I learned to program on Code project, in 1999I bought books then asked questions here as I started with MFC (remember that?) . I worked for CP for a good year I think, early in my move to working from home for overseas companies. I drifted away from CP over time, I don't have questions any more and the questions here got ridiculous. But I still have a soft spot for the place

The golden age ! I was very active at that time, together with Mickael Dunn and Chris Losinger, and you of course. Ah, memories !

My first articles here were about MFC. I didn't even start doing .Net until 2007.
I'm user #7741. The reason that number is so high is because I've always been resistant to being a registered user on websites.

Was that your number before or after "the Great Database Disaster" from - I think it were - late 2000 ?

I joined in December 2000, so probably after.

Sure, CodeProject is not down, but Chris leaving is quite a news. If you're feeling concerned, then I believe that it's justified. If history repeats itself, then I can tell you about it after years of past experience: a transfer of ownership or leadership can thoroughly destroy an online community. I've seen it happen. Take such events seriously.

Wow. I honestly though Chris would be here well beyond the day I become dust.

Indeed - While I can understand the need of change, the way this was done and (almost not) communicated is weird : Would I leave a business that were my own baby and in which I put all my heart in the last quarter of a century, I'd have done it with much more party and sound than "Ah, and additional late point of today's meeting : I'm leaving tomorrow. So long, and thank you for the fish". I would not want it for Chris to stop without a happy ending, that would be very ungrateful in regards to what he brought to the world's programming community.

I think I know why this is happening.
I've abused the GOTTEN prohibition one too many times...

I went to this word a dozen time but I didn't know this particular spelling. I managed to get it only brcaus ewith 4th and 5th attempt I brute forced most of the unused letters and ended up with an anagram.

Posting this since it's not so easy to find online. But, if you find yourself using WSL and use Beyond Compare (outside of git) on the Windows side, here's a doodle to make your life easier.
In your bash or zsh resource file, add this function and re-source it or logout and back in.
function bcomp() {
local path='/mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe'
"$path \"$(wslpath -aw "$1")\" \"$(wslpath -aw "$2")\""
}
Now, in your Linux install you can simply do bcomp file1 file2 anywhere and have BC pop up with the diff on your Windows machine.
Tada!
Edit: Here's a git config for using BC in WSL for poops and giggles too. So you can use difftool inside WSL and have it pop up in BC on Windows.
[user]
name = Bro Dude
email = brod@dude.com
[diff]
tool = bc
[difftool "bc"]
cmd = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe "$(wslpath -aw \"$REMOTE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$LOCAL\")"
path = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe
trustExitCode = true
[merge]
tool = bc
[mergetool "bc"]
cmd = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe "$(wslpath -aw \"$REMOTE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$LOCAL\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$BASE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$MERGED\")"
path = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe
trustExitCode = true
[difftool]
prompt = false
[mergetool]
prompt = false

Do you ever do strange things because you're a computer nerd?
For those of us here who may consider ourselves to be
computer nerds, what unusual things do you do?
|
|
|
|
|
I do strange stuff, but not because I'm a computer nerd. I'm just strange.
Like, when I get excited, sometimes I get the impulse to tickle my nose. Why? Beats me. But I mean... what nose doesn't need a good tickling every now and again?
