1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

...after spending a good amount of time to figure out the problem.
So, I have this web page which posts JSON to the API. Yesterday, the latest API call was not working. I was always receiving null object on the server. There was a DateTime? property in this model. As any normal person would do, I quickly started cursing date and time handling in JavaScript and JSON. Removed it and it still did not work. thought that the JSON was not formed well, but it was.
Only after a while I realized that the BaseModel and the model I was working with both had a property called Number. This was causing deserializer go "f*** it I am not cleaning up your mess. Here, have some of nothing". 
In other news, I saw this error message for first time yesterday and it was amusing.

It's not just Apple, you know...
Iceland (the country) versus Iceland (the supermarket) in legal battle[^]
TLDR version: Iceland the UK supermarket trademarked "Iceland" EU wide and won't let Iceland the country use it.
Iceland the country is not happy.
The bit I love is the at the end:
So what should @IcelandFoods call itself to avoid any risk of confusion:
A) Chile
B) Greenland
C) Finland
D) Icy McIceface
Please, please - vote for "D"! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And that shows that all those trademarks and patents has nothing to do with safekeeping your property and its value... It is all about paying first for those bureaucrats...

The solution is simple: Iceland (the country) should charter a company called The United Kingdom, and register that trademark in all EU languages.
Then sit back and watch the fur fly...
(Extra points: register all the other EU countries' names in a similar manner.)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Um...how is his possible? You can't trademark something if there's prior use of the mark in commerce. I'm fairly sure Iceland's sold stuff.

If it is not too closely related to your other github stuff I suggest a new repo.

Maybe Github wiki fits you...

You inspired me to click the "gist" link in Github, that was it! 
|
|
|
|

Yes, you can do that. There is no problem with one file repos. Besides, who cares? 
If you feel shy you can use gists, they are files that you create and you can use gists to share the code too. Create a new Gist · GitHub[^]. But this is not a "one file repo", it is a one file only; no pull push clone.

If a man is incomplete until he is married, after that is he finished?

He could be unconscioulsy coupled?

If his wife doesn't finish him, his kids will.

He's certainly tightly coupled.

That may be true for you. I'm a singleton.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Even two singletons can be tightly coupled.

Is it bad if at first I thought you wrote "I'm a simpleton"?

If so, I would not be tne best judge of that.
