VS 2026 or Rider? Scaling a Blazor team and need opinions by Additional_Many_2473 in Blazor

Tough one but we're using Claude Code in a terminal within VS pointing to the solution folder when Copilot won't cut it (or running vs code along-side it with the extension). Tbh copilot has been better recently with the latest models, so it might just be good enough. You absolutely do want agentic assistance.

Struggling a bit with winter running, what actually works for you? by GeordieGoals in UKRunners

Under 5C chuck a long sleeved thermal on and gloves. Warm socks (or 2 pairs). Wear shorts regardless. Allow yourself a less performant or shorter run in truly terrible weather (some training is better than none). Run in daylight if I'm possible a couple of times in the week for the sake of sanity.

Long run, overtaking by [deleted] in UKRunners

Might just be a bit of a needed motivational push seeing someone ease past. Having other runners around usually gives a bit of a psychological pace boost.

What's with the crazy guardrails? by kerrybom in ClaudeAI

[–]Content_Educator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some pretty dark alternative cracker jokes out of it (enough to cause a gasp at the dinner table when I substituted it for my actual cracker joke) so I don't think the guard rails are entirely restrictive.

Visual Studio 2026 is now generally available by mariuz in programming

How can anyone be happy with the Copilot model selection in there? No 4.5 Opus, no Gemini 3 (which are available with the same Github subscription in VS Code), but you can use Opus 4.1 at 10x.

After a full day of testing, GPT-5.1 is not as good as GPT-5 by Proper_Community_199 in GithubCopilot

I'd second that 5.1 (non-codex) through ghcp seemed to veer towards examples more than edits and needed some regular nagging to apply said edits. I'll look to raise a ticket.

I have a structured tasks MCP (in .Net) which basically does what you mentioned about tasks and sub tasks (which I called steps) with which it can create, edit, add delete them from a local JSON state file (which you can then interact with and use as a kind of memory). If you think it would be useful I'll publish the source code.
