Those are direct many-to-many mappings. Like, that is how you do it.

javascript is bad for a whole bunch of reasons but xhrs aren't really one of them. if it's really proving to be a pain in the dick then use a polyfill for the new Request API.

i think the javascript part is fine now but the webapi part is insanely retarded. it absolutely refuses to do anything at all with the body of a post request. it hits the post controller and just nulls out the parameter no matter what and wont read anything from the request content even though it will tell me there is poo poo in there

okay but if you can go into the designer and skip the intermediate table and create a many to many, does it just create that table and abstract it from the user in that case?

this is more of a visual studio question, i get many to many, im just curious about why visual studio does what it does in this case

what exactly is their line of thinking there?

i've heard (and can kind of understand) arguments that you should know how == and != work and when they're appropriate, since there's no strict equivalent for any of the other relational operators so you're going to have to get your head around wacky js coercion sooner or later. but even then, "when they're appropriate" is usually "almost never" and everyone still says to use === and !==.

using double-equals is so uncommon in js these days that when flow recommended using it for null-checks they had to give a paragraph of bolded text explaining why, lol

(thankfully, as bad as double-equals is, at least null != 0 and undefined != 0...)

install IIS then set the project properties to run on IIS under a virtual directory. or self host with OWIN or some bullshit

Luigi Thirty: Apr 30, 2006; Emergency confection port.

hmm, it looks like my rotation methods don't work as well as i thought. specifically, X Y and Z should be roll, pitch, and yaw.

X is roll, Y is yaw, and Z doesn't do anything. i can get the right forward vector for movement but scene rotation doesn't really work right at all! :downs:

Rust. Then when the next version comes out, you came write another rpg in it to check out another new language!

Changes between Rust versions are very minimal though? Usually it's just a few stabilizations of methods in the standard library.

I guess it's more stable now then? It seemed like before every time I looked at it they had deleted half the features from the language and changed everything since the previous time.

Edit: Oh, I guess that after they released 1.0 they stopped doing stuff like that?

Yeah they mostly stopped doing stuff like that once it hit beta, and there have been almost no breaking changes since 1.0 (IIRC the breaking changes have all been minor bug fixes). It's been pretty drat stable for around a year and a half now.
