In the south of France I have to insulate the cold pipes in the house for that reason.
You've got it hot there havent you? 40C I heard. Yeah, thats nasty, especially in a timber built house.

We're lucky enough to be close enough to the mains, so it only takes about 15 seconds for the hot water to be flushed through.
Cheers,

Ahh Queensland,
one thing I don't miss is the clouds.
No not the fluffy white or even huge grey - black ones, but the purple ones that you know are going to throw golf - baseball sized hail at your car if you don't get under cover soon enough.
Sin tack ear lol

So that's why it's so bloody cold in England!!

Oz certainly has its hot moments. My daughter lives in Melbourne and my wife and I used to go every year to see the grandkids. (Now they've both turned 16, they wouldn't be seen dead with old farts like us.) One year we were there, it broke the temperature record and reached 41degC, the following year it went higher still to 43degC, but the piece de resistance was a couple or three years later when it reached 46degC, which is still the record I think. We were going to the cinema 3 times a day for the four days it was over 40degC. There aren't half some rubbish films about!

There is a chance, my boy is going to be too hot for your girl, i.e. your tablet, haha

You just need to issue the following voice commands (perhaps by three different authorized persons):
1) "Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A."
2) "Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B."
3) "Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3."
The countdown begins, the phone will reply:
"Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Awaiting final code for (time interval) countdown."
Now you only need this voice command to start the countdown:
"Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I literally had a similar thought, may a sms with a password from another phone.

Yeah, I asked her if she was interested in my Python work, but she told me to stick with small talk.

Install a VNC server on the phone (I used the VMLite VNC Server). You can push it to the phone from a PC. Hook up the USB cable and start the VNC server from the PC, then connect to it from a VNC client on the PC. That's how I rescued mine after I shattered the screen.
None of this requires rooting the phone, but you do have to have left the USB Debugging option enabled to start the server from the PC.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I'm a little surprised query syntax isn't more popular. I recognize there are some things only possible with fluent syntax but I find query syntax so much more readable. Fluent syntax can get really ugly really fast with some queries. Interesting results 
|

I don't use the query syntax ever. Just personal preference.

I prefer not to (use linq), if possible. You can over complicate the work and make it difficult for the reader (next person to maintain the code) to comprehend. If it takes a few more lines of code to make it quickly understandable, then I am all for it and will not use linq. I will let Resharper format code to linq statements, but, I will also comment the old code (before Resharper's changes) to let the reader know what is intended. If it takes more time to understand what is going on, then saving lines (or fewer lines) of code is not worth it. If the writer of the code feels that it is more expensive or less elegant to write more understandable code (even if it is a few more lines), compare it to the cost of another engineer's time who has to read and decipher that code.
Some say that code should be self documenting. But, it should also be quickly (and easily as possible) understandable. Few software people understand your thought process (or your shiny new toy and how to use it). And if it takes more time for them to understand what you handed down, then you did not do your job as an engineer. As a result, it costs the project more in terms of time and money. Part of the job of engineering (even software) is to allow your work to be maintainable. That is because the customer will eventually want to changes.
Some of you who reply may say that "if another software engineer cannot read the linq that I wrote, he should not be a software engineer". There are limits to that. Remember, as in math, keep your solutions simple, or the audience may not understand. But, your job, as an engineer, should exceed those standards to help reduce the project's costs and maintain its engineering quality.

Quote: I find the fact that Single is more used than SingleOrDefault a good sign since it means that the code using it is not riddled by endless null checks
Just riddled with unhandled exceptions and user crashes.
Quote: although I’m left wondering why FirstOrDefault comes before First
Why is someone who has obviously never written a program in his life analysing the code of others?
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed. I find it is almost always cleaner and clearer to call xxxOrDefault followed by a null check than to nest the whole thing in a try-catch block and catch exceptions in the event it fails. 
|
|
|
|
|
I guess there are situations where a null return value is an error and should thus throw. The null check hides it - unless you are logging an error or throwing your own custom exception.
