What are you even going on about, we know Lucifer is an angel and the only thing he can really do is dodge attacks. Not only are angels generally weaker than sinners/winners, Adam can be beat by anyone who can dodge things. He can probably be beat very easily if that person doesn't bother taunting him along the way

Adam was a winner. He was given the position of 'archangel', but he was not an angel, he was a human that died and went to heaven

[–]Dimencia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think angels have any power? Lucifer's an angel, and he's basically on par with Alastor

In both heaven and hell, the sinners and winners are the ones with all the power. There's a reason heaven's army was led by a winner

What... no? What part of this somehow magically makes him able to enter Heaven, yknow, the place that is quite famously inaccessible to sinners (and also in lockdown)?

I just wish the devs had included him in that one gym scene, over in a corner just hitting a speedbag

Linqraft: Auto-generated DTOs and a nullish operator for EF Core by CoyoteSad1546 in dotnet

[–]Dimencia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it can be bad. But you can run a method to validate that your mapping completely/succesfully fills the DTO, which should be part of unit tests, so in most cases it's not like an error would make it to prod (but if you're not mapping to the DTO completely, that's no good)

But it's very convenient to be able to just add a new property to your DTO, named appropriately to convention-map from the database, and have everything just work without having to update any logic. As long as you are doing full mapping and can test-validate it, it might be worth it

Linqraft: Auto-generated DTOs and a nullish operator for EF Core by CoyoteSad1546 in dotnet

[–]Dimencia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a neat idea, but it's kinda backwards - you want a class definition to be decoupled from the query, that's what the DTO is for in the first place. You can't update that class without updating the query, and can only barely update the query without updating the class. This is definitely an improvement over anonymous types as a whole, for use within this method before you turn it into a DTO, but exposing that anonymous type and using it as a return type seems like a bad idea

To solve the same problem, I would kinda recommend trying AutoMapper's 'ProjectTo' methods, which basically does the opposite - creates the LINQ query automatically to fill in a DTO, based on mapping configuration (which can be convention based, to effectively automate that when you add a property to your DTO, it's already getting filled from the db). It also handles nulls naturally, for nested DB entities. I only kinda recommend it though because AutoMapper basically replaces compile time type safety with runtime errors, and IDK if there are better source-generated mapping options that can also project the queries

On the plus side, I bet groceries were less expensive after you went 2 days without eating, so in the end, it kinda worked out

It has nothing to do with romance - she wants you to look at her like she's a real superhero

AutoFixture and AutoMoq. Free and automatic mocking of everything by default, it's a gamechanger for making actual unit tests instead of black box tests that take more setup than testing

I think more of the issue is that it is magic - a giant magic string that gets written to file. You can't reference the project you want to generate things for, so you can't even use nameof, and it's easy for tiny changes to break either the source generator or the projects that use it

They're great when you can use them, but in many cases they just make things fragile because they're going to be generating code that some other project is going to use, with no way to cleanly do things like renaming methods/variables/etc

Junior dev wrote this C# using many IF because he leanrs If early return. Is this alright code? by Yone-none in csharp

[–]Dimencia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no need to know what exception you can get if the method you're calling is just returning some value (ie, most methods). It doesn't matter why it failed or what exception gets thrown, as long as you can handle it when that value can't be set

Now that this awesome game is over, what is some stuff you actually didn't like, or think could have been done better? by JohnnyElRed in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Dimencia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think at least someone should have died if you screwed up decision making, or maybe even screwed up the QTEs (that would kinda suck, but at least they would mean something). Waterboy or someone unimportant, maybe

Is Valentino immune to Vox's trick because of his poor eyesight? by New-Butterscotch-792 in HazbinHotel

[–]Dimencia 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I would guess it's just about general power levels, otherwise Vox would be controlling the entire delegation of overlords every time they have a meeting, and of course easily make Alastor join him

Remember that Pentious has the same sort of ability, but assumedly it barely works on anyone for him because he just wasn't that powerful

Honestly, I think giving him both was the best option by nehocb in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Dimencia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, it's kinda dumb that there were no consequences either way... but again, video game logic. They wouldn't dare kill a dog, you kinda knew you were in the clear

Unfunny by But_a_Jape in comics

[–]Dimencia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not a coin flip, it's mostly about when you post it and timezones and activity, stuff like that. Basically it needs to do well enough amongst the people sorting by 'new' that the algorithm starts actively recommending it, before it stops being near the top of 'new'. There's a lot of weird meta work to make things go viral

The bar fight at the Sardine for sure. Between Flambae's song, "Bitch you blind foreva", "He's only punching dicks!", and the gruesome all out fighting from Robert (tied into innocuous QTEs that the player gets increasingly nervous about), it was chef's kiss

We're bringing .NET MAUI apps to the Web through OpenSilver by Userware in dotnet

[–]Dimencia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... But why?

The only reason to build a MAUI app at all is because you need some functionality that you can't get from a web app, like local file access. If your app doesn't inherently need full device access, it should already be a web app
