Yes, the 2nd one implies that there should be more than one.

Wow that's amazing! Very pretty!

Just looked it up and it looks very...sci-fi. Just saw it'll open in Las Vegas this year, so I guess it kind of fits the theme? Hmm not my kind of thing, though. XD

I've probably been living under a rock or something but I don't think I've heard Atari being mentioned in a while (or maybe my brain just filtered it out or something). Does anyone know what they've been up to lately?

I love C#, but F# is also super fun and worth checking out.

Ah thank you (and thanks for the quick response!)! That indeed fixed it and it explains why it still works on my account on the other instance.

I'm not sure if it's the new version, but for some reason my account on this instance (programming.dev) doesn't seem to work properly in Boost, whereas it worked fine before (before meaning earlier this week).

When I look at my feed (which is set to 'Subscribed') it seems to show posts from all communities instead. And when I try to make a post or comment it says something about the login being invalid. I can still see my profile in Boost, though, and I can even open them for editing. Edit: when I try to post something through the app I get a '401 Invalid Login' error message even though I'm logged in.

It works fine on the other instance I'm in so if seems to be specific to this instance? (I'm posting this from the website, because Boost won't let me post it from there).

Thanks for this great app. I loved the Reddit version and I am loving this one as well!

So this is the Pluto of the internet?

To be honest, despite the smaller community, I feel more at home in the Fediverse than ever I did in those big, bloated, commercial communities.

Ah yes ours just gives a notification when it's ready. Plus the display will always show how much time is left and it'll show up in the app as well. If its not dry yet it'll adjust the timer but it always gives an estimate on when it should be finished (time left as well as the expected time it will be finished).

I can hear the tune from the other room, but I like the notification on my phone as a bonus!

I like our new Samsung dryer as it plays a tune when it's done plus I get a notification on my phone. When our washing machine eventually breaks I want one that has similar features so it's easier to keep track.

People who claim having ADHD has benefits or is a super power are just saying it to make it sound less bad. The reality is that ADHD sucks. It's not impossible to deal with most of the time once you learn more about yourself and how your ADHD impacts you and what can help you manage the symptoms. Every individual is different. And sometimes we just have to accept that we mess up and that, although we are responsible for those mess ups and we have to work extra hard to blend in and try not to mess up too badly, it's also a handicap that we didn't ask for.

I don't get why people say they have certain positive traits thanks to their ADHD. Why can't it be because they themselves, as people, are good at something? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and every individual is unique. ADHD makes things more difficult, but not impossible. We just have to work with what we have and all we can do is try to find ways to get what we want in a way that works for us.

I might just do that. I did also use the 4 and and 4.1 betas and it wasn't giving me too many issues.

What do you think of 4.2 (so far) compared to 4.1?

 

Lately I've been reading a lot about functional programming principles and how they (of some of them) can be applied in C#. So I came across Language-Ext and CSharpFunctionalExtensions (as well as a few smaller ones). I briefly tried Language-Ext and am liking what I see, but haven't tried the other. I know there's always F#, but I want to explore other options as well.

I'd love to hear about other people's experiences with those libraries (or similar ones). What do you like about them and what don't you like?
