Intellisense gets better and better every time I use it.

I added a "Find" method to a C# class to locate the right instance when the GUID was retrieved from the DB (to be used in the constructor of a different class with a foreign key relationship). I got this far:

internal static CharacterClass Find(Guid guid)
    {
    return All.Fi
    }

And it filled in the rest:

internal static CharacterClass Find(Guid guid)
    {
    return All.FirstOrDefault(cc => cc.ID == guid);
    }

That's what I was going to type. Exactly what I was going to type ...

Agreed! I love the new completion capabilities.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

How can that be? You should be getting the same intelli sense experience every VS sesion unless you’re putting side by side different VS versions.

Because I write different code each time?

And when I do, it works out what I am trying to do, and suggests it. Sometimes, it's damn clever!

I get it. A few days of coding is not enough to get a sense of what intelli sense can and can’t do.

Perhaps it is tracking user code writing patterns?

In the same project? Maybe. Once the base of the pyramid is set, the higher you get the easier it gets to guess what the top should look like.

Possibly VS is maintaining a history of your code completion, so on starting down a code line you have previously completed with the aid of cc, it infers from that history that you probably want to write something similar?
Sort of like a word-wheel, where as you type possible matches to your part-typed word are displayed.

Has anyone else noticed how "toxic" has become the new drop-in word for when you can't be bothered to think of the right word to use? I'm sure many people have lost sight of what "toxic" actually means. Everything of even a slightly unpleasant nature is seemingly "toxic". We have "toxic relationships", "toxic friendships" (?), "toxic discussions", "toxic behaviour" and so on.
I recently heard a substance described as a "toxic poison". Words fail me (as they presumably failed the speaker!)

I don't know where to put this so forgive me.

I've produced something that's not really ever going to be an article, but is just a quick starting point for 13 or so different IoT devkits - mostly, but not all ESP32 based.

So like, this is more just a tip for you tinkerers out there.

Anyway, it includes inputs, display, and power management. The display uses my htcw_uix user interface library and my htcw_gfx graphics library. The inputs use various libraries of mine, like touch screens and buttons.

It's basically meant to quickly spin off a new project that you can then easily develop into a rich application, supporting one or more devices of your choosing.

My EspMon Reboot code actually uses an earlier orchestration of this, minus the input support, which took me all day.

Windows Update

I thought I would share an actual Windows Update success story for a change of pace.

In Sept 2018, I built a new machine with a second generation Threadripper CPU. And all of the best parts I could afford.

I was very proud of my creation, but extremely disappointed when I discovered that hibernation didn't work because the machine would always hang when trying to resume. I then updated the BIOS to the latest, but still it would hang. I made sure all the drivers were up to date, but still it would hang.

Finally, a few months ago I hibernated the machine by accident (out of habit,) and when it tried to resume, it was successful!

I credit Windows update with fixing whatever was wrong. If you think there might be a different explanation, please post. The only driver that I manually update on a regular basis is the video driver. It might have been the culprit all along, but I have no way to tell.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
