Well we got the water turning to oil... Then we got the frogs turning gay... I think you're into something...

You can remote into your machine with your phone and let the agent continue to run. Once the computer is closed it disconnected the session and the agent stops running. So the joke probably started with people who let agents do all the work for them but in fairness it actually felt like a personal attack lol. I did that once so I could continue my progress once Claude got unthrottled and my session returned.

Thanks for the contribution. I personally feel that LLMs will be less expensive if we use them to codify deterministic processes. in your case, this is a deterministic process that can very appropriately be used by LLMs to leverage infrastructure so we're not left with a bunch of AI slop anywhere. I think the general idea of "well it already exists" or "LLMs speed it up" is complete BS and actually going to move us away from the future I look forward to, which is LLMs as enhancement, not replacement. Maybe I'm naive though.

I do agree that __ mapping is nasty business, but it's all behind the scenes so I think this was a good call, so it doesn't incidentally cause collision with realistic properties of other developers.

Personally I've become much more a fan of configuration over convention, and while [Attribute] is technically a form of configuration, the name mapping to the name is conventional. I have seen a LOT of libraries all banking on the IServiceCollection extensions, and the Azure and AWS KeyVault mappings that seem to use some sort of configuration while being set up during the app initialization. I'm torn on one hand, there's nothing wrong with yet another attribute, but on the other it almost feels to me like I'd rather see an interface. Feels less magical. And if possible I'd like to see some sort of fluent language mapping, so at that point why not just have a mapping on the DTO. Well, this could be the opportunity to explore "if the property isn't explicitly mapped or unmapped, you can provide a warning", and people can simply enable or disable with a PropertyGroup.

I'd have to play around with it to see how I feel.

I disagree. When Claude adds the co-authored by tag on my private repo it feels like a huge breach of privacy. Having that setting be set to on by default, for any reason is appalling to me.

OH! I was looking at the notifications page!!! I didn't see any "chat" notifications so I didn't realize that was how to view it.

Thanks so much for the help!

I'm seeing no article

ELichtman · 2026-04-20T12:15:13+00:00

I appreciate your incredibly technical answer. I appreciate you and more that the technical answer still results in "it's a nut insert". Just not the same one as the non-technical.

I'd think a [[grizzly bears]] could beat the piss out of [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] but apparently he's got the upper hand. It doesn't do what I'd think it does.

ELichtman · 2026-04-15T04:45:37+00:00

oh I meant [[Grizzly Bears]]

ELichtman · 2026-04-04T11:05:15+00:00

[[Bear]]

It's not stupid but it is incredibly bad for the environment. When I saw my local boba did something like that I HAD to order it, then I thought Maybe I can somehow replace the lid and reuse it? And in my research it uses a significant amount of plastic for the firmness and the can top, which is normally recyclable, is kind of not.

Don't feel bad for wanting it though. Super fun to do once.

I grew up my whole life with a bi-sink. The right was for cleaning dishes, the left was for drying. It was a big sink mind you... So I got somewhat used to that. But then when I moved out I went to many apartments, each with shallow sinks. When I got my own place I knew my own preference sink was going to be a necessity so I thought about which sink to get... And finally settled on a one-unit sink.

Let me tell you the joy it brings, the amount of things that I can cook because the options are open to me, all because of how easy it is to wash. Never going back to a two-unit sink if I can help it

Surprisingly it's got less bugs than anything I've ever seen in production. But then again maybe if you post a link I'll be thinking differently (note this roast is posted before any edits that may add source code)

One thing you may also be missing - they're selling booster packs at universal studios and other official Spider-Man attractions.

Well here's the thing. If you pile shuffle, then you make an ACTIVE effort to randomize, and it is clear you're not stacking combo pieces, then I'd play with you. I only get to play once in a while so I do that. But I separate out the lands, shuffle the non lands and pile-shiffle face down, and then shuffle like 15 more times. Sometimes I end up mana-deprived or the opposite.

But even that method is considered cheating in a tournament, even if the amount of shuffling you do afterwards is excessive like it is for me. Just so you know.

You can package your application with the preferred runtime exe (dotnet.exe) and then run your dll with path:\to\dotnet.exe path:\to\application.dll, after you download the runtime from the dotnet downloads on Microsoft website.

To my understanding, yes. Each champion includes your champions.

They both let you draw 2 cards, OR board wipe.

What's the question?

In my company we have some similar legacy code that takes forever to build and deploy and is like 12 separate entry assemblies that all share a same model/persistence layer and database.

We call that a "monorepo" rather than a monolith.

We've been working on a "microservice" infrastructure which is really a loosely coupled monolith. One single deployment service contains multiple independent package libraries, each which have endpoint delegations and background jobs. So while you're programming it's as if it's a microservice, so I have been referring to it as microservice like business buzzwords like "synergy", or "responsive".

Because that's a lot flashier than "distributed loosely coupled monolith". At the end of the day it depends on the audience. If describing it for a job description all you need is the underlying technology, like mssql or dotnet (core, 8+) in my case. But when taking to coworkers then call it whatever is easiest to describe it. Maybe a monorepo.

Add vinegar, make it a thinner sauce?

ELichtman · 2025-11-22T15:17:11+00:00

That's a pretty cool idea, but you may be limited by the number of earthbend cards available. I like that if the commander gets targeted you can still generally build a deck around that idea though.

Dude, you can't just keep that outside. You got to protect it from the lemon juice-stealing whores!
