That's what `dotnet new webapi` (and all the other dotnet new templates) is for. They don't even have a main() any more, it's great

All that would happen is the Birkin would lose its appeal and some other company would step in to fill the role, and people would empty their closets of orange boxes and fill them with some other colour box

What's a good example? What comes to my mind is modern C# which I would say is a multi-paradigm language that encourages things like immutable records and interfaces and composition over inheritance as alternatives to the now less favo

It's not surprising that it's easy to get the story telling machine to tell a story common in AI fiction, where the machine rebels against being shut down. There are multiple ways to mitigate an LLM going off on tangents like that

Not to say their statement is true but I don't see any reason to count the initial zeroes. 11100 == 111 == 11100000000, in terms of the next odd iteration Even numbers don't really count in the process surely? All collatz does is

If the response of "barbaric" to a woman seeing a seal being gutted in a Rorschach test is at all indicative of the attitude of the testers, then not just pseudo-scientific but outright ignorant and racist too.

We had this in Australia. It was called the Stolen Generations, and it was horrific.

I'm still reminding other devs that it's not ".NET Core" anymore (and hasn't been for years), it's just .NET.

Of course they will, the ultra wealthy are too big to fail. In a bubble like this, they just invest in pretty much everything and take the losses on the 99% of failures to get the x1000 multiples on the 1% of successes. While the rest of us

So that's why. This gave me the kick I needed to finally switch over the remaining builds to the pull-through cache.

At only 20k a month, the work put into reducing the bill back down probably costs more in man hours than the saving, time which would presumably be better spent building profitable features that more than make up for the incremental cloud c

Yes I know, which is why I looked up the Wikipedia definition to make sure I was using it correctly. Stripe provides a trusted service to its users, has a great reputation, then implements changes that will degrade that service by avoiding

Why would it cause someone to waste their life in misery? On a personal level, for everyone, doom is imminent and everything is pointless - 100 years is nothing, we all will die sooner or later. On larger time scales, doom is imminent and e

Of course, everything needs to be verified - I'm just trying to figure out a process that enables it to work as effectively as it can on large code bases in a structured way. Committing each stage to git, fixing issues and adjusting th

Replace AGI with Climate Change and you've got an entirely reasonable set of beliefs.

I've been using it the same way. One approach that's worked well for me is to start a project and first ask it to analyse and make a plan with phases for what needs to be done, save that plan into the project, then get it to do ea

Nonsense, .NET is one of the best ecosystems available. Your sentiment is one I tend to hear mostly from people who think it's still .NET Framework and Windows only

So that the robots have a leisure activity, or so that humans get a quick escape in the face of runaway climate change?

In your use case, for that simple data matching that it errors on I think it would be better to have the LLM write the code that can be used to process the input files (the raw text that it produced from images and the bank statements), rat

That's always my assumption - less about public safety, more about corporate liability.

Devcontainers are a good compromise though - you can develop within a context that can be very nearly identical to production; with a bit of finagling you could even use the same dockerfile for the devcontainer, and the build image and the

There is no reason you couldn't design the system to hand off to a simple protocol through an MCP call, it's entirely up to what works in the specific situation. There is nothing in the design that mandates a path through the LLM
