For me, it's the portability/size. I don't have a benchtop I can use just for soldering, so my soldering toolkit lives in a box with all it needs. When I wanna do some work, I pick up the box, open it, and most of the…
On windows it's the same. Although I think I usually install ipython outside of virtualenvs, because I tend to always use it.
I'd like to propose another use case: HUDs. I've recently took up cycling to work and back, and would love to have speed/gears/time up on the glasses, instead of having to look and focus down. Riding my scooter would…
I actually solved the "get the data out from the homebanking system" via 100 lines of javascript executed in phantomjs to screenscrape the site. It isn't pretty, it might break, and I haven't looked into how to store…
Just to give my 2c, EF is not so much an alternative to Dapper/Massive/PetaPoco as an alternative to NHibernate. Both are "heavy-duty" orms, while those 3 are more lightweight. My personal view is that for writes and…
Mine doesn't crash on Web projects, but can't work for a couple of hours on a Windows Phone 7 project without it going boom. I think most of it works fine and dandy, but some parts can be quite sensitive.
If you end up trying to setup git on a linux machine, two things: - setup or have available another linux machine to act as a "client". git on windows with ssh can be a bit fidgety sometimes, and that would help you…
I used to struggle with it too, until some time ago I think it all kind of clicked in place. Don't try and think of it as similar to other shells like bash, but as an interactive console for objects. The operators, flow…
Actually, if you look at other posts from Sam mentioning dapper you'll find that they profiled the site and found some bottlenecks also on the translator from the datareader to objects on linq2sql. Since they're going…
I think you're on to something with "only one member is virtual" and previous experience. Communication is essencial and harder to manage if just one member is virtual. So, it may not be worthwhile to manage just that…
Interesting, and it makes a bit of sense, even if it is counterintuitive. "It creates a single file system that spans the internal storage and the SD card." - Meaning that you don't worry about "shall I store this photo…
Meh, ClassMaps for 90% of the stuff are all the same, so I love the automap ideia mostly to spare me the bother :)
Actually, if your model has ProductID and NewPrice you can create just the Update controler/view for that. Put some validation on the model, and the scaffolding is done. Or you could write the form itself with the…
As for point 2., I think you can generate the UI from any model class, right? So you can create a model for each task and generate the scaffolding for that particular model.
Just to offer a different road, you could do something like that with the previous version of MVC + Fluent NHibernate with automapping and schema_update, if I'm not mistaken :)
I think you make a great point there about the teacher already knowing VB.NET and not knowing Python. It may be the difference between being able to teach the concepts well and show code to match and struggling with…
I think there are a couple of idioms which are a bit more concise in ruby ( <something> unless <condition>, or some of the stuff with blocks), but it's a matter of personal taste, I think. I do agree on…
I've been using Git Extensions and it works great:http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ I find that the workflow using this tool fits me better than with tortoise, mostly because it is repo-centric, instead of working…
