I'm porting the Shared Mime Info code form PyXDG to C#, because why not, and found out that C# supports the
(type, type) syntax that Python has. The end user won't see that, as it only used for an internal cache. Helps reduce string operations. I may end up porting the rest of the library as its own project at a later date.

C# support lots of surprising syntax for someone who didn't keep with each version or someone who thinks C# is MS Java, or someone who thinks C# is just like C++ on a VM...
In a few word, C# is good!

That was added back in 2017. 
Tuple types - C# reference | Microsoft Docs[^]
It opens up some funky options. For example, given the typical interview question of swapping two variables without using a temporary variable, you can now use:
(x, y) = (y, x);

I knew Tuples existed, but I forgot about the () syntax. I haven’t really coded C# in about 4 years now, other than trying out new features I read about. Most of my current projects are Minecraft mods.

This weekend the weather is not very good beach weather. It's cool and overcast with a few drizzles.
So here at the Jersey shore, summer is going out with a whimper.
I'll be glad to see the maddening crowds disappear.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm on a camping near Wismar at the Ostsee in Germany, the weather is perfect and we were lucky to find a campervan place. Wismar is one of the nicest German towns I visited, lots of historic buildings and a very friendly atmosphere.

If you drink enough good German beer, you won't care that you smell, and won't pay attention to anyone around you who says so, either...

No, the sanitary buidings were top notch on our camping which was even approved by the Dutch ANWB organisation. The only downside of the Ostsee campings is that they are way too popular, expensive and crowded (even in september).

Been living in a hotel in Gulf Shores, AL for the last week. It is the best hotel I have ever stayed at, due primarily to the staff working here.
HOWEVER, I can't wait to get back home. I went on the web to the power company's site map of which parts of the city have power restored and my neighborhood. Not sure if I can trust them or not. SWMBO does not and wants to stay another week! Never mind the cost.
Have you ever had to stay in a place other than your own? for any extended period of time? How did you cope?

The same way I coped with most of the vicissitudes of life. Face it and deal with it; never easy I know, but sometimes the only person to help you is your good self

Once. I live in Israel, but had to visit our main office in Florida for a integration of my code with their hardware. I was supposed to stay two weeks, but it stretched to almost a month. Luckily (?), I was still single at the time...
Anyway, you have my sympathies. At least your family is safe. I just hope that the property damage to your home isn't too bad.

Almost my whole working life...
During the automation time (9 years) I always was on the road. Mostly I could come back the weekend, but not always. 80% of the year away.
After that (3 Years), I reduced to 20-30% of the year away, but then really gone (the other part of the world) for 2 to 6 weeks periods.
Luckily... In my current job (last 2,5 years), I have had to sleep in other place only one night.

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.

As long as we are not talking natural disaster - then year many times, Singapore hotels weeks and months, serviced apartment for 9 months. Karratha a red spot on the pimple on the arse of Australia for 3 months in a donga (careful when you look that up). UK - 3 months in a rental near Slough.
Lots of us travel for work

Two 7-week stints and a 2-week stint in Bangalore, and two week-long stints in Vienna, all enjoyable.

I would love living at the ocean, because I love about everything there (The sea, the wind, the smell, the salt, the sand, the landscape, the sunsets or rise, swimming in the morning and in the evening, kayak, paddle,...). Not possible for the next 30 years, because Mrs.Rage would not move far away from her family (by her definition, "far" is "more than 100m") - but this would be my place. So I have had to stay in a place other than mine for more than 40 years now.

Drive home by yourself to check that power is back, internet is back, and your home is habitable: If yes to all return to the hotel and check out with SWMBO. If no, be glad you didn't give up your hotel room.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've traveled for work over the last 20 years or so. At times I've stayed at hotels for two to three weeks at a time coming home for a few days and heading out again. Usually though it's for much shorter periods. My wife made that possible by being home for the kids when I couldn't.
The worst time a way from home was after a fire that took out seven homes in our block. We stayed with family and friends for a few days at a time until the insurance started covering a hotel. It was about four weeks in the room until we found a suitable house to rent, we weren't going to be able to go back home anytime soon.
The biggest weirdness was knowing that we and our neighbors suffered a "tragedy", but the familiar world around us was going on as normal. Seeing news stories about the hurricanes and fires that wipe out large areas are so much greater than what we had experienced as we could still buy gas and groceries and get around. We just had no place that was "home".
The fire happened in 2008 on the Monday before U.S. Thanksgiving. I remember reading an article Thanksgiving morning in the local paper about people being thankful. One story was about another fire that happened several years before. The guy they were interviewing said something like, "It takes time to get back to normal. Everything about your daily life is going to be different for awhile. But slowly you get back to it."
He was right. All is well now. We were able to get away from a deteriorating neighborhood and with a job change live in a different state. But I never view news about families losing their homes the same way again. When there is a donation can out, I rarely pass it by without making a donation.

How do we solve transition f1=(Discipline) to code?
I mean there are lot of qualified (web) programmers but they only know how (hopefully) to implement a nice GUI, but they do not have (and are not willing/able to get) any idea about the business...
