New measurements suggest that our galaxy is on the slimmer side, at a mere 700 billion times the mass of the sun. It's all the nougat

The fact that economists doesn't know much math and they still make a ton of money, kind of disputes that statement.

Nah.. it's all to do with the fact you don't need to be knowledgeable to be rich! 
Unfortunately us, CPians, might say...

I just have a thing for bashing the lack of math skills in economists.

I think, therefore I am underpaid.

I couldn't even read it on my phone because one of the pop-ups was in the way and the "close" button was somehow always under their top menu (I could see the button if I scrolled really quick)

In the future zombie apocalypse, maths will be f***all use to you. Running ability and good shotgun technique far more important.

I'm waiting for a long compile to finish and fell 'deep' into pondering why I've only ever written PowerShell scripts, but not C++/C# console apps, for exclusive use in my many Visual Studio pre/post build events. Writing/debugging C++/C# console apps is considerably much easier than for PowerShell scripts and, aside from having established a seemingly 'bad' habit , I am now 'baffled' by my choice of doing things the 'harder' (i.e. PowerShell) way. I'm curious to know, given a choice, how many here use write C++/C# apps (instead of PowerShell scripts) for use in their pre/post build events?

Yes.
Here's one example:
"
Using the Utility from Visual Studio
I designed this utility with the idea that it would be used in a pre-build event for a Visual Studio project. Open the project's property page, select the Build Events tab, there is a box for pre-build command lines. One of the shortcomings of that is that (by default) pre-build events run with the project's release\bin or debug\bin subdirectory as the working directory; you'll need to take that into account. The following command is an example of how a GenOmatic file in the project's directory may be referenced in a pre-build event:
GenOmatic ..\..\MyEnum.xml
" -- GenOmatic[^]
I have several others that I use as well.

I had a rather large winforms application (70+ projects, 2+ million loc) that needed to have some XML transformations run, tests run, needed to be obfuscated, signed, packaged using InstallShield, and finally uploaded to a web server. I automated it all with a simple c# console application. I could have done everything in Powershell instead, but was just more familiar with c# at the time.

Well, this topic doesn't increase that by any. It would have been better posted in the Lounge.

My apologies and I will do so in the future. To be honest, I routinely scan the comments in the news section and, given the abundance of off-topics, assumed my comment was just as appropriate in the news sections as the lounge section. Thanks for the correction and I'll keep this in mind for the next time. Cheers!

I used VB6 to do some post install scripting because it was there, and quick. I could have used c but didn't. Prolly cause it was there but not as quick to bugger something up in a hurry.
