ASP.NET...MVC...
Why are you using archaic technologies and paradigms?

I maintain our company's collection of development tools. A few months ago, I had a request for some useful utility to be included in the project toolbox. Sure - it was a free, open source tool, available at no cost.
It took ages to install - first time around I was convinced that the machine had locked up. When it finally came to life again, the number of files had increased by 300,000! I went to the project leader to verify that they really wanted another .3 million files on each and every developer PC, just for this litte utility. Oh, no - they didn't need all those libraries and stuff, just the core functionality! So I reinstalled, this time only the minimal set of files. 73,000 of them, that's the minimal set. Sigh.
So VS2015 is not alone. (And while we are at it: Rumours are that the five volume hardcover series "GCC compiler options listed" will be published in a real leatherbound edition before Christmas, suitable as a gift to open source preachers...)

But you are using some morons template, you cant blame MSFT for that. Blame the twat that wrote it, mr Rehan Saeed apparently.

I don't think it is entirely his fault: he is just collating many of the 'useful' libraries and functionality you would probbaly add. In reality, a bare-assed install is 2112 files and 523 folders. Crazy.

New landlord told me that comcast is my one and only option at that apartment.
I would truly love to get around that.
Anyone who hates AT&T, understood. I want to stick with them. Really I do.
I swear this should be declared illegal, anti-competitive, and restraint of free trade.
But then, I don't have enough money to buy the law.

Why is it the only option? If it's the landlord's diktat then you can't really blame Comcast.
|
|

Good point.
Can't blame comcast ???
Okay, possibly, maybe, the Landlord decided, "We will only have one Internet provider, we don't want prospective residents to have a choice of what they like"
At least here where I am (leaving soon) I could choose between the two.

AT&T is not an option.
I saw that EPB (The electric utility) had a Fiber signal for sale. I got happy, for a moment.
Nope, the agent on the phone specifically told me "we are not allowed to go in there".

New digs in Tennessee for 3 months.
Need Electric utility account.
Is EPB the only game in town ?
Tried asking Google, ha ha.

Homework problem.
Q: On the (x,y) coordinate system, you start at (0,0) and want to get to (14,14). At each step n, you move exactly n steps either right or up. So initially, you can only move 1 unit right or up, then 2, then 3, etc. How many paths are there to (14,14)?
A: He got one on his own and he understood the symmetry and got 2. I told him my answer and why.
Anyone wants to try?

I get 8 paths. You can move up to the point where the sum of 1-n = 28. This happens at n = 7. (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28).
So the question is how many ways can you divide numbers 1-7 into two groups of 14? I count 8 ways.
|

Didn't think I had to spell that one out:
761
752
743
7412
653
6521
6431
5432
For each of those they add up to 14. The missing numbers also add to 14.
|
|
|
|
|
But you can only start with one step.
|
|
|
|

That's completely irrelevant.
761 => 1U, 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R, 6U, 7U.
752 => 1R, 2U, 3R, 4R, 5U, 6R, 7U.
743 => 1R, 2R, 3U, 4U, 5R, 6R, 7U.
7412 => 1U, 2U, 3R, 4U, 5R, 6U, 7U.
....
Follow my previous post. Simply put the 1 first instead of the order I have. I have them in a more mathematical order that I used to split the numbers into the two groups. Order does not matter.

My bad. I missed a pair.

Ha ha, I did too. I was with you all the way. I was all, "Yeah, you tell 'im, Bassam!"
Until you said that and I rechecked my answers.
