I am not noticing this. Does this by default for me

Next step is to connect it to Aspire for a fantastic dev experience! https://aspire.dev/
I agree, but that information should be in the commit, which the model also has access to. Of course it's more token intensive to look through commits, but "good" models might know when some more research about a particular bit of code they find weird would be a good idea. Thoughts?
Re:Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic Coding Power, Now Open to All on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:58AM (#47795301)
I sense that I don't really understand enough of your comment to know why this is important. I hope you can explain some things to me:

- Why is Qwen's default "quantization" setup "bad" - Who is Unsloth? - Why is his format better? What gains does a better format give? What are the downsides of a bad format? - What is quantization? Granted, I can look up this myself, but I thought I'd ask for the full picture for other readers.

Have you tried moonlight? An alternative to steam link. You can use install it on the lg tv by sideloading the app.

Alternatively, you can plug in a Raspberry Pi that runs steam link :)

This has no longer been the case for C# for 10 years since the release of .NET Core and (now) .NET. The runtime is no longer bundled with the OS.

This is only true for older .NET Framework applications.

Thanks for this post! I've wanted to create such a post for a long while but never got around to it. Yours is fantastic!
Re:I still like Sublime Text in 2025 on Wednesday January 29, 2025 @05:13AM (#42863365)
If you use windows, you can use WIN + V instead of using an editor for a copy paste buffer.

WIN + V activates clipboard history, so you can see and select things you copied previously.

TUnit isn't really a fair comparison, it's another test runner like xUnit/NUnit/MSTest, but with more focus on performance/extensibility, which it achieves by using .NET's new test platform :)

A fun read, thanks!
Re:Google One VPN will be discontinued on Friday April 12, 2024 @06:35AM (#40011108)
This impacts me quite a bit as I use this often. I pay for Google One for the extra storage and VPN. Now the VPN is going away but my costs will stay the same.

That's absurd to me.

Windows has had `winget` as a central package manager for a while now. It works great!
Re:.NET 8 on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @11:32AM (#38265547)
Mono is still used by Unity, and by .NET MAUI for their iOS and Android implementations. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/what-is-maui#h....

For most .NET apps you can use .NET 5/6/7/8.

Re:Show HN: Duolingo for Finance on Thursday November 09, 2023 @06:11PM (#38212723)
I really like the idea. I've always wanted to learn more about finance and this seems a great and fun way to do it!

However, currently it only shows information about the indian market (when I click on "try now".) This makes me hesitant to use this service, because I am from West Europe (The Netherlands). I feel like I could learn incorrect things that do not apply to my situation.

I would either support all kinds of countries markets, or focus only on the US because there will be lots of resources online that help translate US market knowsledge to a specific country's.

Very interesting! Thank you!
I think this misses an initial step: Your goal. I'm not very experienced with all the different types of gym equipment and what you use them for.

I'd love to see recommendations if my goal would be to build up some muscle and lose weight, and why this would be recommended.

Then this would be very useful for me

In this blog post you will learn how you can use .NET, Entity Framework Core and Bogus to easily set up a large amount of realistic testing data for a (new) project!

It is essential to know how this can be done, because when you start a new project you often want to start out with a batch of testing data.

However, setting up this realistic testing data is boring and difficult work, especially when you want a large amount of it! So, check out this blog post to learn how you can do this better, easier and faster than ever before!

Re:Staging is dead: The rise of preview environments on Friday December 23, 2022 @02:13PM (#34109550)
Setting up preview environments automatically (in kubernetes or azure) with sanitized production data is something that always sounds amazing to me, but I have always had difficulty to come up with ideas to implement it. Every company/team uses different tools and ways to implement this, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.

Do you have any pointers?
