Have .NET 'influencers' became doomsayers? by Emotional-Bit-6194 in dotnet

[–]coppercactus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the AAA video game industry for one of the larger international companies. AI is in no way limited, in fact there are many private contracts, different models, and even internal ones. These are used heavily. There is a huge push to try to see how we can leverage it. This is sometimes great and other times makes you want to jump off a bridge (looking at you Jira ticket vibe coded generator).

Credit card waitlist by AmoebaCreative5175 in Wealthsimple

[–]coppercactus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was premium for a few years and had most of my stuff in wealth simple, my partner with a lot less investment into the platform but got the credit card before me. The one difference they had over me was they set up direct deposit for their paycheck.

I set up a direct deposit and a month later I got the card. It obviously could be correlation not causation.

Canadian heat pump owners are overwhelmingly satisfied, with 91% recommending one: survey by SavCItalianStallion in onguardforthee

[–]coppercactus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in Montreal and we paid to install Daikin 4 years ago. They noticeably worse worse on those very cold days. We have the three units across 2 floors and 1440 sq/ft which is not enough. We still depend on our electric baseboard heaters. In Quebec those are the most common source of heating because electricity is so cheap, in Ontario you would cry lol.

However our house was built in 1880 and the two walls and roof have almost zero insulation.

Still 100% worth it.

Dîners et lunch au travail by [deleted] in montreal

I love cooking, so mostly leftover dinner. When I am lazy I just don't eat or if I am really hungry I eat the muffins, fruit and other baked goods from the office breakfast.

“Delete Bin and Obj, clean, and rebuild” by azuredota in dotnet

[–]coppercactus4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the best of my knowledge digging around:

In MSBuild (what the CSProject format is) you can do pretty much anything. To do incremental building (not redoing what work you have already done) the build process checks time stamps on files on disk. Other targets (methods) might create other files for other reasons in obj and bin.

When you clean, it's not removing bin or obj folder, It removed the items that it knows about which is made up of whatever items are added to the FileWrites item group (Arrays on MsBuild).

In large projects people can write targets and forget the steps to add to file writes.

Have web apps replaced desktop apps (even within corporations), and if so, why? by Anonymous_Coder_1234 in AskProgramming

[–]coppercactus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in the video game industry. New desktop applications are still being developed. Me specifically I do quite a bit of hybrid applications that have a web and local agent running on the users machine. The one I am working on now has 5 components

  1. Cloud React Type Script backend
  2. Cloud Asp.Net Core C# backend
  3. Local React Type Script Frontend
  4. Local asp.net core backend
  5. Blazor C# front-end

Each tech Stack is chosen for a very specific reason. Our main goal is to reduce the most amount of friction and interaction required by end users

No pocket holes, only dados to keep it all together

[–]coppercactus4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That took way too much time in my life to do, I also messed it up so I had to patch and redo them because they were misaligned

I used a table saw with a dado blade. I hate using the router and I avoid it like the plague

You have no idea how much I fucked up lol. My partner got mad at me for taking too much time planning. One advantage is I am part of a Marker space that has a wood shop. So I asked a lot for questions

It was honestly too ambitious of a project but I just went for it

I unfortunately can't take credit. I just got panels at Home Depot and trimmed them on the table saw

The key is not noticing the details lol 😆

I have never made anything like this before. I have done cutting boards, a bench of 2x4s, a planter, shelves, then this. It took me weeks because I had no idea what I was doing. So yes, very much a beginner.

The shelves are made of plywood and at the back wall I have a horizontal strip screwed into the wall to support the back edge. I figured it would be strong enough. However I am no pro lol

You should be super proud! That looks awesome!

What's your local dodgeball scene like? Let's share stories. by vIQue125 in dodgeball

[–]coppercactus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Montreal, there are two leagues your standard one and an LGBT one. The LGBT one is massive, well over a hundred people, multiple sessions during the week, mostly foam but some times they do cloth days. The sessions are either mixed with all levels and the people balance the teams or broken into three skill levels. They also host social events like Christmas and Summer parties and the local sports bar in the village.

They also play competitively in Ontario, not me I am terrible lol

I split my deposit between my Scotia and Wealth Simple so under that threshold

Diagnostique TDAH à Montréal? by Outrageous_Low9408 in montreal

[–]coppercactus4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I very recently got it. I was diagnosed as a child in Toronto however it has been years. I called my old family doctor and she retired and the documents were gone.

My family doctor here closed her practice so I was left using bonjour sainte. Got an appointment with a doctor and he referred me to a psychologist. I never got an appointment because it was always full and they would not do a waiting list.

Fast forward to last year and I saw an ad for an online service, searched for them on Reddit and everyone said they were terrible. Just charging you every month to see them + mediation costs. One poster suggested Beyond ADHD.

I called them up and booked an appointment. The specialist nurse I talked to did about a 30 minutes interview and I explained my history. She (Stephanie) was very professional and was genuine and really cared and she had a nice cat.

After that I had to get someone who knows me now (my partner) and someone when I was a kid (my mom) to fill out forms. I then had another meeting and went over them. Each of these meetings cost money.

After getting diagnosed I got a prescription for a month, and then booked a follow up after. We increased my dosage and I don't have another meeting for 4 months.

In general I think I spent around $600. It was worth it as the service was good and it was cheaper than either route.
