Configuration is applied in layers. If you’re using the default setup you get the following layers applied in this order: 1. appsettings.json 2. appsettings.{env}.json 3. user secrets (only in Development environment) 4. environment variabl

I'd be willing to bet that GP had a high deductible health plan. They leave you on the hook for 100% of your healthcare costs until you reach your deductible, unless your care is on a narrow list of things that they consider "prev

I wouldn't call it unhealthy , unless you're of the mindset that red meat is inherently unhealthy. It does retain most of the fat from the ground beef which would cook out of normal burgers or hamburger steak. But it's also

"Tech bro" isn't just a generic reference to tech founders. It refers to a particular negative stereotype of a person, usually male, who works in tech and subscribes to "bro culture." Bro culture itself usually co

Yep. My experience has been that you can start with a wonderfully simple tool, but you end up jamming in dynamic behavior because users today want it and expect it... even in "simple" internal LOB apps.

I'm not sure that a majority of adults are actually capable of using social media responsibly. How do we teach kids to use social media when it seems like our entire society is incapable of handling it?

Do you not run your code locally when testing and evaluating things? I guess in my mind where and how an app is hosted is largely orthogonal to the choice language or framework. Edit: Assuming a modern framework that can run basically anyw

Pretty sure GP was making a sarcastic comment referencing how floating point is notorious for subtle rounding issues when handling values that have an exact representation in base 10 but a repeating pattern in binary.

Well bear in mind that Asp.Net is a large framework. The minimal approach I mentioned is for creating APIs [0] which you can use with whatever JS front end you please. If you don't want a JS front end Asp.Net has four different optio

Speaking as a C# dev, IME most people are working off of severely outdated views of the .Net ecosystem. .Net has had first class support for Mac and Linux for a good 6-7 years now. Postgres support is every bit as good as SQL Server, and p

It doesn't. It's a standalone (static) helper method that uses HttpClient to perform the request and feeds the response body into a json parser. It's an extension method [0] which means that there's syntactic sugar so

What you want is a curved ultrawide monitor like the Samsung Odyssey G9. I have one of them (49"). The curve is critical, because it allows the entire surface of the monitor to be basically the same distance from your eyes... meaning

I was under the impression that SOP for most aircraft was to take off at full power, and if you happen to be lightly loaded you just get into the air faster. Was I wrong, or is this a recent change? If so, it seems like a concerning way fo

The official service ceiling of the F-22 is only 50,000 feet. There’s no doubt that it can fly higher (for example the F-15 set zoom climb records going up to nearly 100,000 ft) but at those altitudes controlling an aircraft gets a lot mor

I’ve seen some unconfirmed claims that they show it with a missile whose warhead fuse was disabled. Normally anti-aircraft missiles are proximity fused and throw out lots of fragments when they explode, kind of like a giant shotgun blast.
