don't do anything with user input other than display it back to them. make them enter different parts in different fields so you don't have to split it up with anything more complicated than a .split('/')

like what validation are you doing anyway? with email addresses for example imo the most you should care about is that it has an "@" and then a "." after the @. even that is probably wrong honestly.

pretty sure email doesn't need a . after the @

also paket solves practically every problem that nuget has. always use it for anything non-trivial.

NihilCredo posted:

for starters, if you add some packages to your project, then share that project with other people, when those people build the project they will always get the exact same package versions you used. this is not guaranteed with nuget

html has the right idea.

you have a rectangle. you can draw poo poo on it if you want. you can attach a click listener to it if you feel like it.

yeah you definitely should not learn the single PL capable of accommodating every other PL

instead you should learn one of those other PLs

programming a micro controller to make a row of LEDs blink in C, without abstracting away the access patterns that actually do things, should be fun

certainly UB and memory corruption would be much less of issues with behavior right away observable and all memory yours and yours alone

powershell is forever doomed by the initial bad syntax decisions. It should have been csharp script but they decided to make it more bash-like which means its forever a better version of bash in which you write pseudo-csharp instead of just being csharp.

which db

Shaggar posted:

no. don't use anything w/ queue in the name

Shaggar posted:

a queue in a db table is fine unless you don't care if the events get there in which case sticking in some in memory store to be handled best effort is ok.
