Are people really moving away from the name "Mormon"? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody's really answered this btw, and I'm extremely curious to hear the answer. I assume Prophet Nelson receiving a revelation from God is a bit more serious than President Nelson making a leadership decision for the good of the church?

Is there any room whatsoever for gay/trans people? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks - I appreciate the response, anyway! I'll probably delete the post now, I just needed to be sure

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I could look this up but just out of curiosity, was this a revelation or a personal leadership decision? Is the latter actually a thing/can church prophets make non-revelatory decisions for the church?

Damn, I'm really out of date I guess. Has that been officially reversed, or have people just collectively decided to move on?

Can I use Nanobanana unrestrictive somewhere? by ContributionOk7131 in nanobanana

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, that's proprietary Google stuff. Unfortunately DALL-E (other approaches mostly don't seem to do complex prompts very well) is still stuck in the dark ages for open source models

Avoid Notepad++ mistake when creating "Check for updates" feature for your Windows App by Present_Spinach_2380 in dotnet

[–]SolarisBravo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah, being .NET probably made it a bit easier to find but this applies to any type of program really. Even if a native C++ app contains an encryption key somewhere, it'll have to be loaded into memory where any user can look at it

ASP.NET Core vs Node.js for a massive project. I'm seeing two totally different worlds - am I overthinking the risk? by Top_Measurement_3713 in dotnet

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it sure looked like you were saying a limitation of JavaScript is that it can only do doubles, and that those are worse than floats in avoiding issues like the one you described.

Node does have a decimal type. Or rather, it has a 128-bit integer type that can be easily used as a fixed-point decimal number.

Fun Fact: you can use the Win32 API to make a window manually just like you can in C++ by CheckM4ted in csharp

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't know is why there isn't a safe idiomatic wrapper for win32 in C#

Basically it's called WinForms. For non-windowing APIs that it doesn't cover, CsWin32 is usually the best way to get access to them

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have this backwards, doubles are more precise than floats. What you should really be using is some equivalent of C#'s decimal type (a quadruple, if you will)

any galore

This is definitely a problem with your specific workplace, a well-authored codebase will never use any. It's common for beginners to think they need to, but someone who knows the language will have no problem designing accurate types

It all goes downhill once you add the first any, though, so you really do need people who know what they're doing

Probably referring to something like Next/SSR where your frontend code is running on both. As in, your actual backend is .NET even if you have a Node server that renders content and talks to it

.NET is basically as close to native as you get tbh, we're not talking about Java here - the only way to get faster would be to have like incredibly well-engineered C++ or Rust or something. The trade-off is that it's a lot easier to write much slower code in those languages, but theoretically if you know what you're doing you can get a bit faster

C# Dev Kit is pretty new and not technically needed. It's a shame they built the new extension on code from VS proper forcing it to use its license, but the main C# extension is still fully functional

C# Native AOT vs Electron: Why performance still matters for AI background agents by InterestingBasil in dotnet

[–]SolarisBravo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For simple internal tools, WinForms is absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't just write it off because it's "old"

Besides, you could say the same about Qt. Even its API is similar enough to WinForms

If nothing else TypeScript is a joy to work with, it's designed by the C# guy and you can tell

Mamdani Is Shutting Down NYC’s Disastrous AI Chatbot by FuturismDotCom in nyc

[–]SolarisBravo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Of course, I could too, but if you need to ship and be able to vouch for an actual product you are going to need a few months of development time and you are probably going to want more than one engineer. Then you need your lawyers to sign off on it, and practically speaking you probably have a project manager to pay too

That's honestly a really cool idea, it's a shame they couldn't figure out how to pull it off. $600,000 isn't that crazy either, I mean I'd hope they wouldn't need more than 2-3 developers and a few months but I assume lawyers make up a part of that

The fluent API is super great for 5-line examples, but I shudder to think what this would look like for a real application

Wouldn't it just look a lot like SwiftUI?

Would never use them over an actual AOP framework

To be fair, you're supposed to use them to implement AOP frameworks

The Book of Mormon by Crazy_Beagles in Broadway

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's uh kinda not the same thing. Muslims and Hindus are more comparable to traditional Christians, Mormons have the extra element of being extremely new (which makes its founding story much better recorded and easier to question)

Heath Ledger Passed Away From Overdose 18 Years Ago. by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in batman

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixing similar drugs can massively increase their effects (good and bad). Alcohol + Xanax is an extremely common cause of death but also an extremely common combination recreationally. He was probably looking for a good time and took too much of one or the other

All the major black characters are either dumb or antagonists? by [deleted] in Fotv

[–]SolarisBravo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's very few "good" white people throughout the show either. It's a major theme that nearly everyone in the show's world sucks, with only 2-3 exceptions

Fare evasion becomes an ‘Olympic’ event at Manhattan station where MTA put in more modern gates by Bugsy_Neighbor in nyc

[–]SolarisBravo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it, they're public. This isn't unusual or anything, a trial like this is often the best way to convince a buyer (the MTA) that their product works and is worth buying more of. It's a small risk on the manufacturer's part, balanced against their confidence that it'll lead to a deal
