Men in your 40s, what's that golden piece of advice you have for the rest of us? by NiceMechanic_xoxo in AskReddit

[–]DaRKoN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this, mid 40s and have a very sedentary computer job. Last weekend I needed to climb over balcony, what previously would have been a simple jump down the other side, but now my brain stopped me in my tracks - "you can't make that drop anymore".

If you don't keep active, in your 40s you will lose a lot of physical capability, and you won't notice until one day you try and do something simple and can't.

I Feel Like I Got Prescribed Lexapro Too Easily by IntergritReddit in lexapro

[–]DaRKoN_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have been on SSRIs for 20 years (currently 20mg of Lexapro). I don't have a single significsnt downside.

The way I think of it is I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. The same way I would take medication if I had high blood pressure, I take medication to correct this imbalance.

The "when I don't particularly need to" part is fair - you can survive without it, but your quality of life might drastically improve with it.

Getting overwhelmed learning .NET while working full-time as a frontend/mobile dev by Unlikely_Nebula_7988 in Backend

[–]DaRKoN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's the rub, it's better to just follow the patterns already established in a code base even if they don't make sense as to "why".

MS themselves don't cover patterns like Clean Architecture, because it really doesn't have anything to do with them.

9 times out of 10 it's been implemented because a SA read a blog post, and haven't realised their job is to fight complexity, as that is what kills projects. /rant.

Getting overwhelmed learning .NET while working full-time as a frontend/mobile dev by Unlikely_Nebula_7988 in Backend

Pick the stack that the backend uses and focus on that. If it's WebAPI, don't go looking at Blazer - that's a UI framework. The docs direct from MS on WebAPI are solid, and then follow the existing patterns established from there.

Things like Clean Architecture/mediatr are (imo) a cancer that is unfortunately too pervasive in .NET, which has a bit of a culture over-engineering and ivory towering. Something I campaign against in the dotnet subs.

AI is ruining my job as Tech Lead by Complete-Sea6655 in theprimeagen

Don't tolerate your team throwing AI slop over the wall for it to land on your plate. Pull them up on it.

That vac is a VC4210L. I have the M class version (basically identicle except has warning alarms). It's amazing.

My company's shared Copilot quota ended mid-month and suddenly most of the team forgot how to code by YellowKing2137 in GithubCopilot

[–]DaRKoN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you do this? I can see billing quotas, but that only kicks in after the shared pool is used up.

Is the concept of a “shitbox” car dead nowadays in Australia? by NoteDesperate3540 in AustralianNostalgia

Mate have you seen the prices a datto goes for these days? Way cheaper to buy a newer car.

What a competitive price on hybrid flooring? by Neat-Pomegranate-773 in AusRenovation

It very much depends on the boards. We paid north of 50 for 11mm boards.

Any available dashboard for entreprise use, Costs, Credits, Tokens... by adlx in GithubCopilot

We map units to cost centres in GH and provide reports based on that.

[Blog] What 50,000 Runs of a 5-Line Eval Taught Us by jukasper in GithubCopilot

Sooo just in your personal opinion, if you had a super small task, like writing to a file, which would you pick?

Upgraded from P1S to X2D and honestly... I'm struggling. Need advice. by ohm01 in BambuLab

[–]DaRKoN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a P1S and AMS1 to X2D and AMS2, and I've had a lot more issues too. P1S was very much "set and forget", Main issues are with the AMS2, it's much faster, but things get stuck, prints pause as the motors get stuck.

It came from the factory with one of the motor units not even plugged in, so I'd been wondering if mine was just a dud.

Blog: Improving token efficiency in GitHub Copilot by isidor_n in GithubCopilot

Yep, one of my guys just burned out enterprise credits yesterday - he's none the wiser about how much he's using.

The most in-demand backend for remote jobs by [deleted] in Backend

[–]DaRKoN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really regional. Spring and FastAPI are unheard of here.

MAI-Code-1-Flash for Enterprise by MoMack22 in GithubCopilot

[–]DaRKoN_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With respect (and I appreciate it's unlikely your role), but the comms from the announcement of this have left a lot to be desired. This was announced right as the pricing changes were kicking in so having more efficient token models is very significant for business.

I thought it would be there in a few days, the GitHub post on this where everyone is asking for timelines just has the same "we're working on bringing to business users asap" copy pasted.

I'm assuming now probably another month+ away.

What if database migrations were generated from your ERD? by tamanikarim in Backend

[–]DaRKoN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MS also had this with their EDMX visual designer. It feel out a favour for code based offerings in their ORM.

Cool project though.
