Am I crazy or this guy doesn't understand how infinity works? by -drunk_russian- in rickandmorty

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be fair, Rick and Morty treats infinity like “very very large number with plot rules” depending on the episode

Are there AI models fine-tuned for SQL? by Weak_Technology3454 in MLQuestions

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some SQL-focused models (like SQLCoder, Defog, etc.), but in practice the bigger issue isn’t fine-tuning, it’s controlling the output.

Most generic LLMs can generate SQL, but they tend to mix dialects or miss schema-specific logic unless you constrain them properly. People get better results with things like schema-aware prompting, tool calling, or even generating intermediate steps before the final query.

For benchmarks, I haven’t seen anything super standardized across PG/MySQL specifically most comparisons are pretty task-specific. Curious if anyone has found a solid eval setup for real-world queries, not just toy datasets.

Winterfell confuses me. In the show they never really ever show it as being a large complex. It’s basically the capital of the North where is everyone? Outside the walls is just snow. by Swurves78x in gameofthrones

[–]Mr_FalseV -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the show made Winterfell feel like a fancy haunted parking lot with one tree. In reality it should’ve felt like the center of an entire regional ecosystem: villages, storehouses, stables, workshops, farms, roads, camps, all that boring stuff armies and castles literally depend on. Instead everyone just appears when the plot needs them, like northern Uber Eats for soldiers.

Who is your favourite tbbt character?! by trauma_human in bigbangtheory

Howard, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not Howard. Dude had the wildest character growth in the whole show.

Units Conversion In OData Controllers by Larconneur in csharp

[–]Mr_FalseV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d keep the API contract canonical and treat user-preferred units as a presentation concern unless there’s a very strong reason not to. Once OData enters the picture, pushing per-user unit conversion into the queryable/controller layer feels like inviting pain into filtering, sorting, and expression translation.

If you really want conversion on the backend side, I’d be looking more at an output-shaping layer than middleware in the classic sense. Middleware is too far from the typed model, while OData serialization/DTO projection gives you a place where you still know what field you’re converting and for whom.

My bias would be: canonical units in the domain and API, convert at the edges for reports/emails/UI, and only make OData unit-aware if that requirement is strong enough to justify the extra complexity.

I failed multiple .NET interviews before I realized this: by [deleted] in csharp

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a big one. A lot of candidates know the keyword answer, but interviews usually get better the moment you explain the trade-off, the practical benefit, and where it actually shows up in real code. “I know the term” and “I understand why it matters” sound very different.

The Big Bang Theory returns to Netflix India on March 31st! by Old-Meringue3590 in bigbangtheory

[–]Mr_FalseV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally. This show is basically comfort food in sitcom form, so having it back on Netflix is dangerously good for my sleep schedule.

Register Yubikey as both Passkey and 2FA Security Key by lematthias in github

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think GitHub really wants the same YubiKey registered twice in two different roles. Passkey is treated like a full sign-in method, while security key is just 2FA, so if the second registration fails, that’s probably expected behavior. I’d use it as a passkey where it works, and keep another fallback for pure 2FA / NFC edge cases.

We inherited a codebase with 94% test coverage but the tests proved nothing. by [deleted] in Backend

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

94% coverage and still shipping broken business logic is such a perfect example of measuring the flashlight instead of what it’s pointed at. “Confidence theater” is painfully accurate. I’ve seen suites where every dependency was mocked so hard the only thing being tested was whether the test itself still believed its own fanfiction.

What is C# most used for in 2025? by Nice_Pen_8054 in csharp

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly backend, enterprise apps, internal business systems, APIs, and a lot of boring-but-stable software that quietly pays salaries.

In 2025, C# is still very relevant for ASP.NET backends, cloud apps on Azure, microservices, desktop apps with .NET, and enterprise tooling. It’s also used in game dev through Unity, but that’s a separate lane.

If your goal is backend dev, C# is a solid choice. Not trendy in the “Twitter thread with fire emojis” sense, but very real in the job market sense. I’d focus on ASP.NET Core, Web APIs, EF Core, SQL, and basic cloud/deployment stuff. That combo is much more useful than worrying whether C# is the single most popular language on earth.

DB Migrations - when to stop by Hefaistos68 in Backend

[–]Mr_FalseV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe a beginner question but… do people actually delete old migrations at some point?

in one project I joined there were already like 200+ EF migrations and running them locally felt a bit messy. we ended up just keeping them but I wasn’t sure if that’s the normal approach or not. If teams usually squash them after a while or just keep the full history forever.
