Can't forget the simplest form, at least in my language but pretty sure it works in English.
And that is just loudly declare the item you want:
SALT!
I wonder if it's similar to the reason why i find it ok to work in, it's feels similar to a python just with brackets and static types. A lot of the bothersome work is hidden from you, at least with .NET.
One does get annoying things, and a lot of "you should just know to do this" for things you don't really understand or encounter naturally, but that's also something in other languages.
I have shitty music taste, and ended up downloading nightcore songs from YouTube. And the videos were usually named "Nightcore - song title". So chances of duplicate songs end up a lot higher when the only unique thing is the title of the song...
They had different names like (1) if they were duplicates. But all my files were named something like "Artist - title.mp3", and the Metadata tag for artist and title were generated based on the filename. I don't know how they would look after being synced over to my phone from Spotify though, but it is probably how Spotify names the files that broke it on my phone.
All the files were in the same folder on my pc too, for reference. So they have unique filenames, but two files could have the exact same artist and song title. I give that's it's an obscure edge case, but really frustrating.
Not sure if it fully fits, but one of my old HTC android phones has a bug where it would randomly fail any network request, by just never finishing it. No timeouts either.
It never got fixed. Loading a page in the browser, got stuck, and would need a new refresh. Some apps like Baconreader would get stuck doing the same, any app could have it happen. But sometimes the stars align, Facebooks Messenger had (has? don't see it anymore) the chat bubbles that showed over whatever else on the screen. And i clicked one of those, and they got stuck loading. And there was literally no way to close it. There was no timeouts, so i eventually had to hold the power button and reboot...
Other notable mentions, Spotify on android did not handle duplicated files (since you could add your own music to it) with the same filename or at least artist - title metadata. It would always only play one of them. It was very interesting because Spotify on pc worked, so i could play the second track fine there, but if i told it to continue play through my phone then it would continue form the same timestamp on other track.... Might be related to my phone being stupid, but there was a whole range of infuriating spotify issues. So i just moved to use poweramp and store and sync local music since i had a lot there to begin with .
I have had a lot over time : Motherload Idk the name anymore, but something like fighter Z, a space invaders like game were enemies scroll in as you blast things away with a super jet. A space discovery game, was in Norwegian. A mystical signal arrives and you need to research it and eventually send out a space ship.
I was reminded of another i missed, Sinjid: Shadow of the Warrior. A ninja fighter flash game.
Last one I guess I might be missing was a 2d like game where the word was blocks like Minecraft but square board levels, angled like a diamond, I think it's called isometric. sorta like the q*bert games I think. Don't remember much of the goal, but walk around and collect gems I think. I believe most levels were mostly green grass and water/rivers separating areas. Main character might have been a girl.
Not this one, there is no ambiguity here. Order of operations are all good.
It's the round trips that kill you.
Oracle drivers for .NET are fun. Have a user client application which uses quite a lot of data, but a few thousand rows are fetched some queries. It's way too slow for any larger query, turns out for the batch query kind of work we do, the default FetchSize for Oracle is just a performance killer. Just throw it to 128 MB and it doesn't really hurt at all.
Worst thing i've seen though, apart from the 150 line long dynamic sql stored in our database, was probably a page in our program that loaded about 150 rows from the database. Normally we do create a new connection for each query, but it's fine since Oracle has a connection pool. Whatever millisecond is trumped by the round trip. But imagine a UI so badly written, it did 4 separate database queries for EACH row it loaded into the UI list. Useless things like fetching a new ID for this row in case it is changed, reading some data for the row i think, and more. Thing took a solid minute to load. There was so many bad patterns in that page that even during the PR for improving the speed it was just dealing with a mess because you couldn't just rewrite the entire thing, so they had to make it work within the constraints. Horrible thing to work with.
Fork it so i have my version, regardless if the original goes away. (Assuming Github doesn't nuke all repos of course like they did with youtube-dl for a while)
We got solid state to come challenge the car market in a few years. Supposedly both safer and bigger capacity. Just remains to be seen when it actually arrives in the average car. It's a tech that hasn't quite managed to get out of laboratories.
It's not helping unfortunately, it's just a blanket change in colors by some filter. The taskbar highlight is bad to begin with. Ideally the should use red/orange for warning highlights and used bright white. But a weak pink isn't going to be more visible even if it was turned redish. It'll still be weak.
And it does change every other thing on screen, which won't be good for me since colors aren't an issue normally, and even worse if it affect screen sharing. Taskbar changes is just straight up bad UX that tries to look good.
My experience with W11 on the work laptop.
Taskbar sucks, maybe because I'm colorblind but I can te what my selected program is and programs with notifications (Teams) look like the focused program. Apparently notification boxes there are pink now. Can't find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess. It feels wrong to click the highlighted icon I for years have learned will mean that I minimize it...
And why all the dots? And why is the notification dot the largest, so I can even tell which window is actually focused?
Outlook doesn't open with focus, especially the window that is supposed to pop up and warn me of upcoming meetings. Really annoying.
Teams notifications just don't show if you are in a meeting and that is focused, they used to do that on W10.
Might be a Firefox bug, but there's a lot of new visual bugs. Github diff view is randomly strongly colored, and randomly changes to the old weaker background colors when scrolling/resizing the windows. And a surprising amount of scrollbars in grids that weren't there before.
I just wish W11 at least worked with the regular features of W10.
