Comment on LINQ Abuse with the C# 4 dynamic type by jrwren

@keith

because we don’t know if it will be IEnumerable. A more real example would be like this:

dynamic x = SomeDynamicResultFromPythonOrSomething();
object o = x;
var result = from i in o where … select …;

The method which returns a dynamic may or may not return a dynamic which ultimately implements IEnumerable. Further more, depending on my implementation of Where, Select, etc. I might not even care if they implement IEnumerable. It may be enough that it returns an object which implements GetEnumerator. Remember that foreach does not require a type implement IEnumerable, just that the GetEnumerator method exist.

Actually, instead of extending object, why not simply extend the non-generic IEnumerable. After all, you are making that presumption internally with Select.

Well, that is nice!
Can you make it work for SelectMany as well?
I tried a bit, but I couldn’t really get it to work

Comment on Version Control Tools Is More Than Just The Tools by encoded

Good points on a whole Jay. I knew about bitbucket, but didn’t know that launchpad could be self-hosted. Interesting.

“But for anything but the tiniest organization outsourcing your VCS to github is not a practical option.”

Github also has paid accounts for companies. Granted their prices are high, IMO, it is an option.

Just to promote our open source tool:

Groowiki is also a front-end to svn that makes it easy to browse, but you can also upload and modify properties. This fits mainly when you store ofiice documents in your repo and work with external experts, who may not be familiar with svn or just simply do not want to install a client software.

I hope it also makes SVN more usable, better.

Comment on double.IsNaN is 100 times slower by Craig Maloney

And eventually someone will run into this when they’re busily working with incredibly large numbers, and wonder why in the hell they’re coming back NaN. Creative.

Comment on Windows Home Server backup database by Keith Elder

Did you build your own? I’m guessing knowing you you did. Mistake #1. I have the home server HP media smart. And I built my own. I like the HP one way better. WHy? It has better software for converting videos, searching and moving pictures / movies / etc into one place on the network.

Also having your files like pictures and things on the server, not on your linux box allows you to share data, etc and get to data wherever you are (as well as remote into any machine on the network).

Tons of stuff here other than just backups Jay. Get with the program!

Comment on I’m Lazy And I Need My Helpers by jrwren

Effectively that is what those “licenses” do is public domain something. It turns out that there is no legal way to declare something in the public domain. You can’t just say “I release this into the public domain”. Further, in some nations there is something called “moral rights”, which also have no ability to be transferred.
