Enabling XML Auto Commenting C# in Visual Studio Code is in an odd setting (via Stack Overflow)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/03/18

In Visual Studio Code I already had [Wayback/Archive] C# – Visual Studio Marketplace: C# for Visual Studio Code (powered by OmniSharp) installed in (through code --install-extension ms-dotnettools.csharp), and wanted automatic XML documentation comments generation just like Visual Studio does:

DigiD backend code: GitHub – MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/16

From a few months back: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid

Via Bugblauw [Wayback/Archive] Lord Mendel Mobach 💉💉💉💉🦠💉 on X: “DigiD Backend is openbaar … met dank aan @Logius_minbzk @MinBZK @DigiDwebcare” / X

Comments (on why parts of it is obfuscated):

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Arian van Putten on X: “@bugblauw @Logius_minbzk @MinBZK @DigiDwebcare sorry hoor maar dit is echt een aanfluiting. Ze hebben een soort Regex Search en Replace gedaan en alle URLs verandert met SSSSSSSSSS. Waaronder ook alle XML namespaces dus helemaal niks hieraan werkt. Waarom is dit zo extreem weggelakt allemaal? …”

  2. [Wayback/Archive] Lord Mendel Mobach 💉💉💉💉🦠💉 on X: “@ProgrammerDude @Logius_minbzk @MinBZK @DigiDwebcare Technisch werkt het wel als je maar consistent bent. Hooguit krijg je een warning dat het niet absolute is. Even praktisch: hierin zaten bijvoorbeeld bedrijfsnamen, en men heeft besloten dat per string aan te pakken. Over keuzes die in 2006 of eerder zijn gemaakt …… tjsae..”

How NOT to Measure Latency

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/15

According to @isotopp (Kristian Köhntopp ), this is one of the most important talks to watch regarding performance issues: [Wayback/Archive.is] How NOT to Measure Latency

Gil Tene provides an in-depth overview of Latency and Response Time Characterization, including proven methodologies for measuring, reporting, and investigating latencies, and overview of some common pitfalls encountered (far too often) in the field. Tene also covers specific considerations in garbage collected environments (such as Java).

It is on YouTube (embedded below the signature) as well, but the above link as synchronised slides plus video.

More places where you can get it:

Via [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “… Dieser Talk ist einer der wichtigsten Talks überhaupt, wenn es um das debuggen von “Performance Problemen” oder SLOs geht.”

FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/30

[Wayback/Archive] FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞 werd in 2024 gelanceerd vlak voor de Women’s History Month en Internationale Vrouwendag door Felienne Hermans.

Felienne is bekend van bijvoorbeeld haar promotieonderzoek naar de impact van Excel op de samenleving, maar vooral van haar drive te onderzoeken hoe zo veel mogelijk mensen – ongeacht hun achtergrond – kunnen leren programmeren), Joy of Coding, de Hedy programmeertaal (met veel support voor andere alfabetten dan wat we in de westerse wereld gebruiken) en haar boek The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition.

Ze is enorm goed in haar werk, en komt daarmee regelmatig in aanraking met vooringenomenheid over vrouwen. Daar verbaast ze zich terecht over, en ook dat het lastig om content (op allerlei soorten gebieden) te consumeren gemaakt door vrouwen. Dat overkwam haar bijvoorbeeld bij het luisteren naar muziek op de Nederlandse radio: daar kwamen veel meer mannelijke artiesten aan bod dan vrouwelijke.

Vandaar FemFM, en Felienne zou Felienne niet zijn als de source code niet openbaar was, dus hier wat linkjes:

Inline Thinking | Patricia Aas – Programmer

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/24

I wasn’t aware that Java has some some catch-up and now supports user definable inline types: [Wayback/Archive] Inline Thinking | Patricia Aas – Programmer

Inline Thinking

97 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know

Patricia Aas, 16 January 2020
Computers changed. They changed in many ways, but for the purpose of this text they changed in one significant way: The relative cost of reading from RAM became extremely high.
These “cache friendly” behaviors are already present in Java when using so called “primitive types”, like ints and chars. “Primitive types” are “inline types” and come with all of their advantages. So even though inline types may seem foreign in the beginning, you have worked with them before, you just might not have thought of them as objects. So when “inline classes” seem confusing, you could try to think: “What would an int do?”

Thread by @aakashg0 on Thread Reader App: the Twitter tweet ranking algorithm

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/04/05

Interesting read: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @aakashg0 on Thread Reader App with this takeaway:

If you take away anything, remember this – the models take in 3 inputs:

• Likes, retweets, replies: engagement data
• Mutes, unfollows, spam reports: user data
• Who follows you: the follower graphImage

Read from the start at [Wayback/Archive] Aakash Gupta 🚀 Product Growth Guy on Twitter: “Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world. But what does it mean for you? I spent the evening analyzing it. Here’s what you need to know:”

The algorithm is at [Wayback/Archive] twitter/the-algorithm: Source code for Twitter’s Recommendation Algorithm.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Andrea on Twitter: “Haha, dát is het dus!” / Twitter

Note: for me the only way to reliably follow people is this: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “@chrisbensen @geerlingguy @TwitterBlue @elonmusk @tweetbot About the only tweeps I see tweets from on a regular base is the ones I turned notifications on for. It does not matter if they are blue or not. The blue ones tend to post overly large tweets. Those I skip reading.”

State machines in Delphi and .NET

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/02/15

Forgot to schedule this in 2014, so here it finally is, as the content is still relevant:

A long time ago (almost 10 years) I did some stuff with State Machines in .NET.

Since then the world has changed, and a lot more libraries have become available.

As I mainly use .NET and Delphi and there is a reasonable chance I need to do some more state machine work, here are some links about State Machines in both environments.

Google Cloud Shell: tools, languages and “safe mode”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/19

After publishing Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users – shell in the browser that works in all locations I’ve been so far, the Google Cloud Shell got extended quite a bit.

There is now [Wayback/Archive] Safe Mode (which skips initialisation scripts):

If there’s a problem in your .bashrc or .tmux.conf files, Cloud Shell immediately close after connection. To resolve this, open Cloud Shell in safe mode by appending cloudshellsafemode=true to the URL. This restarts your Cloud Shell instance and logs you in as root, allowing you to fix any issues in the files.

To permanently delete all files in your home directory and restore your Cloud Shell home directory to a clean state, you can reset your Cloud Shell VM.

And there is support for way more [Wayback/Archive] tools and languages:

Type safe versus interpreted languages: which ones are safer?

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/06

An interesting thread by Kristian Köhntopp last year:

[Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Python: >>> print(1+2+” = “+2+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’ Java: System.out.println(1+2+” = “+1+2); 3=12”

The examples from him and others in the thread:

Python:
>>> print(1+2+" = "+2+1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

Java:
System.out.println(1+2+" = "+1+2);
3=12

php8.1  -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;'
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: int + string in Command line code:1
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in Command line code on line 1

php7.3  -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;'
PHP Warning:  A non-numeric value encountered in Command line code on line 1

Node?
Chrome & FF dev console:
window.alert(1+2+" = "+1+2)
3 = 12

Sind ja immerhin verschiedene Sprachen.

SELECT Wert1 
FROM table1
WHERE Wert1 < AVG(Wert1);

DB2 vs. Oracle vs. MSSQL vs. ....

The joke is that Python actually does better than Java.

But in practice, this is a problem on many platforms, so it deserves constant attention, that’s why Kristian pointed to [Archive] Anna “Legacy Archaeologist” Filina on Twitter: “My annotated slides “Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them” from @LonghornPHP:  #LonghornPHP”

[Wayback/Archive] Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them – Speaker Deck

I’ve expanded the examples from the thread below. The results are interesting and consistent over versions of the various languages.
