Resources for getting better at debugging? in c/csharp@programming.dev
[–] Isaac95@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for such a detailed reply, specific to my use case. Really helpful tips.

and also a device simulator down to the byte/protocol level, then you can inject faults and ensure your app can handle them.

I know I should do this, it's just such a PIA for me since I hate reading/implenting standards so I've avoided it. Thanks for the push, I think I'll make a start on one this weekend.

How to spot a tax scam in c/australia@aussie.zone
[–] Isaac95@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Whilst everyone should lookout for scams, none of what you said is true.

  1. MyGov is a web app, not a government agency. Nobody "from MyGov" is going to contact you.

  2. The ATO regularly calls people directly to discuss tax matters.

Well I mean if they want a home server they will have to learn something.

Personally I just set my friends and family up with a stremio/torrentio/real-debrid setup. Nothing to host, I just pre-configure Stremio for them. Then they can just login on any device and it's good to go.

Make them an unraid usb and then they can just stick in a spare pc and they should be good to go. Then they can use the gui to download and install docker images. Would be the path of least resistance IMO.

I think you replied to the wrong comment.

Out of curiosity is there a particular reason you're avoiding meds for them other than the stigma associated with stimulants? It's a first-line treatment for ADHD not a last resort.

Ukraine War - Russian Losses as of July 5th, 2023 in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

So whilst I support Ukraine 100% I feel this is nothing more than propaganda.

Propaganda from a country we support is still Propaganda. It's not useful in understanding what is really going on under the fog of war.

Thanks for the link, and I agree with your sentiment. I don't find myself debugging a lot. Perhaps why i neglected the skill. However just today I was getting a null reference exception on a particular line, yet I wasn't able to clarify what object it was that was null. Seems pretty silly, but it prompted me to try and hone my debugging skills, as I felt the tools where there, I just don't know how to use them.

Do you have data on Ukraine losses too to put it in perspective?

Resources for getting better at debugging? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been teaching myself C# for the last 2 years or so. I've got a reasonable handle on a lot of the language/ programming in general. However I feel like I'm massively missing the mark when it comes to debugging.

I deal with a lot of multithreaded and real-time applications that interact with physical hardware. I can set breakpoints and inspect variable values at the breakpoint, step into, step over, etc. But the "autos" and "locals" windows are something I don't understand.

Are there any decent courses/resources that teach me some intermediate debugging skills. Particularly interested in resources that focus on Visual Studio tools (extra points for resources that include tips on VS Enterprises debugging tools, like step backwards, etc.).

Appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction! I've learnt by feel up to this point, but I've hit a wall and could use some structured docs or courses.

I got a laugh, but a quick read of the US flag code seems to indicate that the flag must adhere to the diagram attached.
