what I said to the offshore team: "the grid result need to be exported to excel serverside so we need to look at how the legacy methods work because they're bad. it would be nice if we generated actual xlsx files but I think it might need Excel installed on the server so might not work. also data should be returned as a byte stream to the browser. " what came back: literally the exact opposite. serverside com interop that needs a local excel install so fails because it's not installed on Web hosts and also memory leaked excel instances everywhere, storing temp files on the server and not deleting them and my favourite, returning a *path to a temp file on the server* as a response to the Web request that is then sent back to the server from the browser as another request to a controller that then just returns whatever file is at that path with zero access control i don't know why I bother.

oh poo poo I forgot that they also duplicated all of the data methods as well for the sole purpose of adding a single hard coded bit flag parameter to the procedure calls instead of just making it an optional parameter on the main method i replaced all their code

wisdom Kind of related but a shout out gently caress you to Microsoft on COM interop which is still a pile of poo poo that doesn't shut down instances properly unless you janitor them manually

Single XML file (XMLSS), should be a .xml, not actually readable by basically anything other than Excel and certainly not by the Apache POI project that handles all the other Excel formats?

i swear that MS is maintaing some kind of "old school knowledge" program to ensure that some day, somehow, when somebody says "what is this 'cannot parse sylk file error'?" i can say "heh, actually..." see also the classic "dtsx file parsing only looks at the first 1000 rows so will gently caress you over if you have a longer data type in row 1001"

Creating the new style xlsx files is ok with some of the libraries, although there's a load of boilerplate. God help you if you have to parse one though (especially user created. Just use csv or the far superior tsv instead

Jaguar RISC manual posted:G_PC: The GPU program counter register. Changing this while the GPU is running is probably not a good idea. today’s adventure is trying to figure out how to tell the GPU to start executing a program at a specific offset so I can load my whole matrix math library into memory and call add/subtract/etc like subroutines the RISC CPUs are something like 10-12x faster than the 68k in matrix operations taking the doubled clock speed and near 1 cycle per instruction timing into account, and you can do the operations in parallel with the CPU.

There is a well defined standard and it's digital. Most cpus have it built in and you just have to run the traces. Ezpz. Auto-negotiation is part of the standard as well, so resolution and hertz rate are easy enough to decipher as well.

What he's describing sounds more like a representation with an actual sign bit, tho, like IEEE floating point for eg?
