Not my experience at all. I've been driving Luna xhigh in CoPilot CLI since it was released as my daily driver. Good reasoning, no problems with tool calls.

Precisely. See also: TACO

Re:What .NET 10 GC Changes Mean for Developers on Sunday October 05, 2025 @10:52AM (#45481934)
If the argument is that most developers can't understand what a DI system does, I don't know if I buy that. Or is the argument it's hard to track down dependencies? Because if that's the case the idiomatic c# has the dependencies declared right in the ctor.
If your hobby is 3d printERS sure (and more power to you), but for many people (me included) the hobby is 3d printING

I'll note that in the US that 1000+ is the "list price". For those paying out of pocket, both zepbound and wegovy offer coupons available to anyone taking it down to $500 (and I'll note that discounted price keeps coming down, slowly, as well)
Re:dotnet run app.cs on Thursday May 29, 2025 @09:18AM (#44125814)
To be fair, this is timing early bits of a preview feature. Compiled .NET apps have much better startup perf.
Re:Python's new t-strings on Monday April 21, 2025 @09:35AM (#43751869)
C# has InterpolatedStringHandler which isn't quite the same thing, but (in my understanding), trying to address the same core issues.
Re:Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash on Wednesday April 16, 2025 @04:05PM (#43709759)
Correct. But you choose to look at that feed. It's not the only one available to you. I have like 6 different feeds at any one time.
Re:Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash on Friday April 11, 2025 @10:59PM (#43660958)
Then you block those people, and never see their stupid opinions again.

My X experience was far more partisan than Bluesky. Not being able to get away from seeing the latest thoughts of user numero uno was also a turn off.
Re:Adobe Deletes Bluesky Posts After Furious Backlash on Friday April 11, 2025 @10:55PM (#43660944)
But...restricted reach is exactly how Bluesky works. People you follow show up in your feed, and only them. You can look at other feeds that are not as restricted, but you are making that choice.
... but I think the argument goes "Signal can be used for unclassified communication, so we are OK"... great! .... but why were specific war plans and CIA officer names NOT classified? There are definite problems either way you slice it.

I hadn't seen this before. Thanks for posting! My 8 year old will get a kick out of this!
I think that the argument goes US debt actually really doesn't matter, so long as Pax Americana is maintained. Being the global empire really helps out... until it doesn't
Re:The killer features of the Steam Deck on Tuesday October 24, 2023 @07:47AM (#37997742)
Totally agree the sleep is the killer feature. I will have to quibble with Overcooked resulting in "collaborate with each other in a very nice way" ... when more often than not you end up screaming at your loved ones "I TOLD YOU TO GRAB THE F*CKING ONIONS!!!"

In reference to Luke not really knowing what the heck he is doing, see also The Mandalorian season 2.5 (BoBF) - (summarized) "Hey little green guy, you can either join my weird cult and never see your friends again, or you can go ahead and f*ck off"
Uh... are you suggesting that at some not-insignificant point into the pandemic someone credible was arguing COVID was NOT airborne?
This is the correct take that should be at the top. They aren't opening the links in Edge, they are opening the links in an embedded window implemented using Edge.

And they are experimenting with green threads now. Would be... hilarious? If it landed in .NET before Java.

I thought Windows machines just used the TPM to store WebAuthN keys? No yubikey necessary. Just a click on some popup dialog to select your credential for login.

Exactly what we did with all 3 of our kids. Made a few bottles up ahead of time. The last time we were at the pediatrician with our youngest (who is now 7) and told that to the nurse she was a bit aghast :)
Re:Real World Micro Services on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @09:30AM (#33007673)
Me too. However, I'm also not all that familiar with the Go ecosystem. Maybe they don't have the concept of libraries?
And if their teacher is gay and is asked about who they are married to? Or if one of the students have gay parents, can they draw a picture of them? Etc...

Can we double-click into that?
Personal views of pro-life/pro-choice though can be separated from the question of "Does a woman have the fundamental right to terminate a pregnancy?", which seems to have much more support. Would a significant majority choose to do that themselves? Maybe not. But it seems the majority feel women DO have that right, and should be able to make that choice themselves.
You wouldn't euthanize your dog or cat if it had some end of life condition and in pain everyday?
Support for overturning Roe is actually around 30%
Re:Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade on Friday June 24, 2022 @01:55PM (#31866595)
Except that states banning abortions after X weeks was already a thing under Roe.

And this decision was not about any "state rights" bullshit. The court previously found an unenumerated right to an abortion, and now they completely reversed themselves. Women do not have complete body autonomy and must support another life no matter the impact on their own.
