Don’t forget that those naughty modders in GTA can crash your game. Apparently, it’s surprisingly easy to do.

Rockstar attitude to modders is ... um ... surprisingly poor.

As long as it doesn't hit their bottom line financially, R* doesn't care what modders do.

I had a crash yesterday that was weird. The monitor went black and the audio was machine-gunning the last fraction of a second of audio through the speakers. Did a hard restart and when I found the dump file it was nearly 2GB. Didn't have much going on at that time except a browser with one tab and a freshly-booted PoE, so I can imagine how crazy that file would get if you were really in the thick of things.

That's interesting. It's my understanding that the default is to create "minidumps" which aren't that large. Do you have an IDE or other tool installed that might have changed this?

Three IDEs: Visual Studio 2019 CE, IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.

I'm pretty sure that VS2019 doesn't change the dump setting, so you might try the other two. Unfortunately this may not be something that's documented, unless you find it on a discussion forum.

So, I got this new job, where the work is MVC, so I thought that while I waited for all the in-processing stuff to happen (so I can actually start work), I decided to start writing a MVC app.
So far, I've managed to eradicate Entity Framework in its entirety (in deference to my own DAL), created my own Identity code to replace the ASPNetxxx code, created a lot of the back-end static data (I've spent almost a week on this, and still have a ways to go before I'm done with it) so that I can exercise the app, and came up with a dark appearance that I really like.
I really hate everything javascript, but the reality is that it simply can't be avoided, so today, I took on the task implementing "fluff". I pretty much got a set of cascading drop-down lists working in relative harmony (using ajax), and implemented a custom jquery-ui progress bar that shows the percentage of characters remaining in the associated text input (or area) control as the user types The progress color changes from green, to yellow, to red depending on what percentage of characters is remaining.
I'm sure there are better ways to do what I did, but as much as I dislike javascript, if it works, it ships.
Just exercising my MVC muscles...

Oh yes it can!
I'm currently working for a customer who has zero JavaScript.
They've done everything using Angular and TypeScript.
You don't have to use Angular to use TypeScript, of course, but when you use Angular TypeScript is mandatory I think.
Personally I prefer to keep things KISS and I just use JavaScript (with Vue.js), but try to keep it to a bare minimum.
I'd look into TypeScript if I were you.
It's like strongly typed JavaScript created by the creator of C# and people love it.

Angular and Typescript *are* javascript.

Sure, TypeScript is ultimately transpiled to JavaScript.
The difference is you don't have to write the JavaScript yourself.
Alternatively, you could look into Blazor and use C# in your front-end.
|
|
|
|

Can you use Blazor in a .net framework app?

I don't want to jump through the hoops to do blazor in .netf.
The dev landscape (for lack of a better term) regarding typescript and scss (which i've only just now discovered) appears to be filled with land mines. I found out about buildwebcompiler, but that project was abandoned 5 years ago, and the last available version doesn't install in VS2017 (I get an error "An object isn't set to the instance of an object", and the install fails). There's a forked version being maintained by someone else, but they've removed the node.js dependency, so it only compiles SCSS files.

A client of mine uses it and it involves manually running scripts

As realJSOP said, TypeScript is still JavaScript.
But yeah, way way better than working in JavaScript. I do find it amusing though how a file of interfaces in TypeScript transpiled to a file with no actual lines of code in JavaScript. So much typing just for type safety.

Saturday I went to a fantastic talk on honey bees by a local retired bee person, he and his wife founded Spikenard Farm – Honeybee Sanctuary[^] - learned a lot about their biology and life cycle and how they make honey and gather pollen and on and on. Sunday I saw a one man production of Faust done by my friend and playwright/actor Glen Williamson.
Oh, and I worked on the "community event planner" website I'm putting together (.NET 6 C# backend and TypeScript front-end).

I'm not sure what you mean by Typescript front end. Are you saying it's just HTML5 and typescript, with no MVC goodness thrown in?

Maybe you said it elsewhere and I missed it, is it a new role in the same org or completely different employer?
Or is it as classified as the last job?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

No, different employer altogether, and yes, just as classified as the last one.

Well here's hoping the new place isn't as daunting as the last place.

So are you away from the DoD environment now? I was always appalled when you talked about the idiocy in that.

No, but the level of idiocy may be lower than the last place.
