    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    If you're a .NET guy, then I think it should be fairly trivial to create a simple console app that makes a periodic call to a gmail API, looking whatever, and, lke TJT said, invoke the link. Unless you have to do more on the link's end? BTW: .NET Quickstart | Gmail API | Google Developers

    Is this for Outlook (desktop app, not web)?

    Well, if you follow the "rules" of REST API, all you should have is GET, POST, PUT, DELETE endpoints. Don't create endpoints that act like function calls.

    Personally, I think you should either return a refreshed list with the 200 response from your DELETE -or- perform a GET request to re-fetch the list. I really don't like splicing arrays. Granted, this will work fine with a simple 'TODO' app. However, think in real-world scenarios where you...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You can have your HTTP DELETE return a response with the updated list. Obviously, this is a bad idea if you have a massive list. But for small lists it's fine. But I would NOT manipulate an in-memory list of items and "assume" that the back-end call completed successfully. What if the db...

    Investing General Discussion

    So my Vanguard ETF total gain/loss is now at "0". I have shares in VDE which is pure pain and a significant portion into VTI. I'm wondering if I should liquidate it all and wait for a dip, then re-enter into VTI and hold for long-term. Or, alternatively, take the loss in VDE and put that into...

    I never picked up much in the way of SJW propaganda with the Flash. It's just the writing and stories were so awfully boring. Plus his solution to fighting the baddies is to run around in circles and get knocked out.

    How are the ratings for this? I figured this series would only attract a niche audience.

    Hah, forgot I posted this. Turns out its a neighbor's cat. Apparently visits several homes in the area for treats and food.

    Yeah, I don't think this could ever be a thing. No tactile touch would make for a suck ass interface.

    Totally agree. 2-1/2 thumbs up for me. She's a cutie, wish we could've seen more of her in those shorts.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I hope not (and I know, the odds are very low), because this one I'll really be excited for. The ONLY thing I enjoyed about the last season of Discovery was their re-imagined Enterprise and Pike crew.

    After Life

    No! He's Abraham Setrakian. I enjoyed the first season and have watched the first couple of episodes of the new one. But, I dunno, is this going to be another season of Ricky Gervais being ultra depressed? Will get old fast.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think I've done all the veteran-mode non DLC dungeons at this point. Honestly, it's the only thing I "enjoy" about the game. I play a Templar healer which is simply keeping HoTs going and mashing the big heal when things get hairy. It's just not very satisfying. I've played a priest, druid...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I so I hit CP200, primarily from just queuing for dungeons. I don't understand what people see in this game. Clearly there are a shit ton of people playing it (at least that's the feeling since you can be in middle of bumfuck nowhere and see some jack ass running around). My friend is...

    Speaking of editors, what is everyone's favorite coding font? For me, I have yet to find anything I like better than Envy Code R.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Watched the movie last night. Pretty funny, but is a different set of characters. Although they are very similar in a lot of ways. I kinda wish they had a version of "Petyr", though.

    /shrug. I do plenty of interviews and I know that if someone applies for one of our positions and marks down they know Java, I automatically know they'll have no problem with C#. Vice versa is true of course. It's not aids at all. Right tool for the job and all that, but Angular is nice in...

    I get that, but for learning I would go with C# since those skills are easily transferable to Java. C# is a far more pleasurable language and platform to work with.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Our company made the huge mistake of going with Silverlight back in 2008. Around 2016 we started a re-write using .NET Core and Angular. Here it is 2020 and we still haven't finished, although most of the major functionality is complete. However, I think most of our customers are still using...

    Yeah, not sure why people are talking about Java here. If I wanted to learn a strongly typed language that has C-style syntax, I'd choose C# over Java any day of the week.

    It might? It's not something I've used. JetBrains offers free trials of their products so give it a whirl. I'm become pretty adept at Angular 2+, I assume you're speaking of this and not the old Angular.js Anyway, I'm not sure routing is necessarily how you would accomplish this? Not quite...

    Yeah, I just don't understand why writing a good story arc is so difficult. They literally have decades of Flash comic material to draw from. Hell, why not bring onboard some of the DC comic writers of yore for inspiration? It can't be that hard.

    I mean, the DC Steaming stuff have been decent enough. I quite liked DOOM Patrol. And Swamp Thing definitely didn't deserve to be cancelled. Titans was probably the weakest despite having the potential to be their best offering.

    I enjoyed the original like I enjoyed Witcher 3 -- as a good story-driven game. Gameplay was merely passable.

    Any recommendations on a budget processor? I'm rebuilding my Plex media streaming PC which is currently an AMD FX-8350 (which, honestly, has been totally fine). But the motherboard is starting to go, I think. Looks like an i3-9100F is unbeatable at the price point. Don't really care about...
