I already do that, but I still can't stand maths Laugh | :laugh:

I'm not taking classes.
I study at the Open University so I do everything alone, from home, in the evening hours...

Which is basically what I'm doing now that I work full time. Or should I say, what I'm NOT doing... being a commuter and having a (small, but size doesn't matter) household really sucks up all the time, attention and energy I have available. You have all my respect Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Math can be a lot of fun. It helps me to earn a lot of money, master my finances with a big surplus and even impress experienced craftsman. Cool | :cool:

Press F1 for help or google it.

The trick is to make lots of money while spending none (alright, and keep clear of debts)! Smile | :)

That would be worth it!
A previous employer once attacked me for asking "what's [some technical term he mentioned]?".
His response was "oh yeah, you didn't get that at school...", which was really low as I was a better programmer in almost every way possible (well, except procedural VB6 style, that was his turf Poke tongue | ;-P

).
I guess he wanted to boast his superiority a little.
That moment also led me to picking up a study again.
Later I explained to him that "the return value was just some tuple" and he asked "what's a tuple?".
I think you can guess my response, "what, didn't you get that at school!? WTF | :WTF:

"

I just spent an entire evening finishing an article on algebra (third article already) and I liked it.

It's absolutely great! And the really great thing is, by writing about it to teach others, you are really deep learning about it yourself. It's one thing to know something, it's a completely different level of knowing to teach it. Awesome work, Sander!

Exactly! And I'm trying to keep it simple, because, as Einstein said: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Smile | :)

Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello

Is that from a web forms application? Dead | X|

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

Aye, although for security purposes I replaced the encoded string with lorem ipsum. But, it's the same principle, since a web forms app can easily have that big of a view state or more.

Jeremy Falcon

It's his password. The hardest part was when he had to verify it.

Jeremy Falcon

(seriously curious, as I don't do this kind of thing)

What is that? Confused | :confused:

I'd rather be phishing!

It's how ASP.NET Web Forms goes about tracking client state from a server-side environment. The biggest problem with it, is that it can easily grow to be monolithic and slow. The example I just posted is not an exaggeration.

You can read more about it here[^].

Jeremy Falcon

So it is like a "binary" dump of the form content ?

I'd rather be phishing!

Pretty much, except it's a base64 encoded binary dump. It's pretty easy to decode[^] at least, but it can still get out of hand.
