My experience with Github Copilot and Python has been that it _does_ generate better code completions for Python. It's sometimes shockingly good at predicting what you want to do in the next 30-50 lines of code based on a few well nam

I doubt if they're using raw MS or Open AI models (because the whole thing would have to be HIPAA compliant) but yes, some doctors will now ask if you consent to them using AI tools to transcribe the appointment.

I've upgraded apps from every version since .Net Core 2.0. The upgrades always take a few hours, maybe half a day (with the exception of 2.0 to 3.0 which took a few days - many breaking changes). It's well worth a few hours per

Csharpier is the best option available. I've been using it for 3-4 years now and had success getting it adopted at my last two companies on greenfield projects. It's not exactly an unknown tool - nearly 2k stars on Github. But

First, in most states it is not legal to point a weapon at someone unless you are in a situation where you're legally allowed to pull the trigger. That is, you are legitimately in fear for your life. In that situation you will likely

I've been coding for 20 years, I very much like having git info in the prompt. Even if it doesn't tell me everything (and it often doesn't) it _is_ a reminder that I have uncommitted changes, or haven't pushed yet, or a

Oblivion has multiple NPCs with complex schedules that involve travel between cities. And yes, you can run into them on the road. Best example is the countess of Leyawin, once a month she visits her mother in Chorrol (opposite side of the m

Are you really so sure? I think the vast majority of Americans would have expressed the same sentiment less than 10 years ago.

Generally speaking these days I think that small planes with manual controls (i.e. your private pilot's Cessna) just aren't capable of going that fast. Most of the planes that will be able to go that fast in a dive will have hydr

> Deciding whether something is netFramework 4.8 or .NET Core 5 or NET3000 or nEt5 or NET Common 2.0 is impossible. Isn't that one of the most basic things that should be easy. What do you think happens when you try to use Python 3.

Basic LINQ on in-memory collections isn't really that different from what you have in other languages. Where things get special is the LINQ used by Entity Framework. It operates on expressions, which allow code to be compiled into the

Yeah, something important to file away in your book of life lessons is that you should _never_ schedule a move on the day you have to be out. Not unless you're backed into a corner with no alternative. Sometimes life throws you curve

Unfortunately what's likely to happen in our current society and medical system is: 1. Instead of being expected to read N x-rays per hour/day/whatever, radiologists will soon be able expected review 3N or 4N AI diagnoses in

You know, I bought a MBP as a personal machine 6 months ago - my first Mac - and this post made me realize that I couldn't even tell you what its desktop looks like. I'm sure I saw it a few times when I was doing initial setup, b

Jetbrains Rider does this does for C# code (I think Visual Studio does as well). Its inlay hints feature will also show you hints with the result type of each line as the data is transformed. I haven't explicitly tested but I would i

I did an internship in IT 20 years ago where we were building/maintaining desktops and other general helpdesk type stuff. I'm pretty sure I remember us having a handful of users with multi-gig pst files, running on 2005 hardware.

Close, but it's a little different. When they were making Half-Life their code was in a 'Src' directory. Around the time HL1 released they forked the code into a `GoldSrc` directory so that they could start moving ahead wit

It seems to me a big part of the problem is that the "query builder" in TFA is little more than a string builder. In the .Net world I've used SqlKata [0] and been very pleased with it. It allows you to easily dynamically bu

Base 32 is just an encoding, so it doesn't modify the underlying data of the uuid, it presents the data in a different display format. It's the same as how the number 10 can be represented as decimal 10, binary 0b1010, octal 0o12

Really? In the modern .Net world (originally .Net Core) it's very common for devs to use Windows machines to write code whose CI pipelines and deployed environments are all Linux. I've seen a handful of issues with things like p

It's not about looking at the body (in my area at least, funerals usually don't even display the body), it's about grieving and mourning. Or supporting other people who are going through grief and mourning, even if you don&#

If I understand the GP correctly, there's no notion of semver involved. Any difference in the schema results in a runtime error.

Unless you have some tricks up your sleeve that I'm not thinking of, an immediate consequence of this is that zero downtime deployments and blue/green deployments become impossible. Those both rely on your app being able to run in

That's not correct. He decided that the aircraft was out of control because his primary displays went out at low altitude - the manual says eject if out of control below 6000 ft. But in fact the plane was still flying and responding to
