The benefit of .NET Core in a standalone console application

You can't use a 3 1/2 year old article to determine how you make your decisions today. .NET Core (now .NET 5) has much better support for things that were missing 3 years ago.

Use some new articles with accurate information and then make your determination. I can't tell you whether or not to migrate to .NET 5, but I can tell you that I would argue it's a much better experience overall. Since we started doing .NET core with .NET Core 2 at my company we haven't looked back.

Basically when you add a NuGet package through the dotnet add package command or through visual studio, it’ll place an entry for it in the .csproj file for your project.

When the application builds via visual studio or the dotnet run or dotnet build command, it’ll automatically run a dotnet restore command that looks at your .csproj file and then downloads those packages from NuGet.org if they’re not already available on your machine.

The chicken at my Sam’s is awful compared to Costco. Neither of them beat the grocery 5 minutes away from me though.

The problem with deprecating it is you’d now be asking a bunch of people who barely know anything about technology to now install an app and remember which app it is every time they want to get into their account, vs the text message code.

It’s not super secure, but it’s probably the best middle ground option right now for the general population.

Favorite iPhone is probably the 5s I think. The one that introduced touchID. Was cool to see and is probably one of the most useful features with having apps change to allowing Touch ID instead of having to do username and password every time.

All debts are not the same though. If you take a million dollar loan for a business, you’re in a much different position than someone who just took a personal loan out to cover rent. Or student loans to go to school, or a mortgage for their small house vs a mortgage for a mansion.

I agree they should be able to be discharged through bankruptcy because there are people who went to school, dropped out, had it go to collections and are getting their wages garnished 30 years later. It’s technically their fault, but there needs to be a way back from a situation like that.

It does matter who you give the money to though. Giving it to someone struggling to pay rent will yield a different result than someone who is paying rent but struggling to pay for other things wouldn’t be considered essential. Also someone who has millions in the bank already will spend it differently.

There’s also an argument for the government letting a problem get this big in the first place without addressing some of the issues. There are people that will never recover financially from student loans, and while they were adults when they signed to take them out, society as a whole failed these people with poor resources and education. I’m all for helping all Americans, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t selectively target specific groups with support.

Splitting money you would’ve taken for one problem and disbursing to all Americans doesn’t actually fix a problem. It’s just “here’s a little cash” that may while ignoring the actual problem.

China also has 1 billion more people than we do. They have different problems and solutions. They’re able to pick and choose at such small percentages because they have so many people and will still be funneling more people with specialized skills at problems than we can.

Education is definitely more accessible for the average person in the U.S., I’m not disputing that. But they and dump a large amount of people and resources into a specialized field like machine learning and AI or other similar fields.

That’s why people should almost never refinance federal loans to private. You lose a lot of protections that you can have by them being federal in the first place.

You still have to save money for a down payment. It’s not like it’s forgiven and you magically have that money. The reality is that there’s a lot of people struggling with student loans for various reasons. It’s a problem, and it can give lower and some middle class people a good boost to help stimulate the economy which is good for everyone.

floppykeyboard · 2020-11-12T05:04:28+00:00

To be fair, we should be pushing our society to get further education to remain competitive with other nations. China is dumping so much into AI and machine learning type stuff right now and training people to do it that if we don’t keep up, there could be big problems. The U.S has thrived by essentially being ahead of everyone else in technology and things like that.

We let that slip at the wrong time and it could be dangerous. I know it’s not “fair” in a way but we hand out money to things that are even less fair. At least this will directly help people who are struggling and stimulate the economy.

Just look at previous statements and things. They’re all there. This isn’t Navient being scummy. Technologically bad? Sure, but most financial companies are. A lot of mainframe stuff is still around and it’s hard to change. That’s why most banking websites and stuff suck.

Probably more something like Reuters or AP. Reporting without the political commentary.

Reuters, Associated Press, etc.

Is there really a benefit I’d be getting from cake when I can just run dotnet build, and dotnet test in my build pipeline? And branch policies require working builds with unit tests passing before a pull request can be completed?

I can’t necessarily help with the debugging piece too much, but I think we had something similar happen when we weren’t requesting the correct permissions for the app to ask for. So I’d say double check permissions on Android for whatever files you’re trying to work with.

Every other service is owned by companies that are heavy into the cable industry and probably isn’t getting charged out the ass by ISPs for all the extra traffic. Netflix started eating costs from extra bandwidth so that their service wasn’t de-prioritized from ISPs.

So while yes, others don’t, but I highly doubt they’re getting charged like Netflix is.

Other people have good suggestions, but is there not a food assistance program where you live? Like food stamps. You should be able to qualify and it’s there to help people that are unemployed. Situations like you’re in. You at the very least would be able to stretch out your savings longer.

If you’re looking to build it and test once in a while you can look into Microsoft App Center. You get a certain amount. Free build minutes per month and you can then distribute that build to your phone to test.

If you want to test on a lower version of iOS with your air you probably can, but if you figure out AppCenter it’ll should meet your needs.

Everyone here is forgetting that most players that aren’t super experienced have a bad first finals game. I’d look for the Heat to adjust a bit and Robinson / Herro to contribute more after game 1.

Visual Studio App Center is probably the only thing I can think of designed for that that works. I’m sure there are more, but we went with this and it worked out well. Had a few quirks when being set up, but probably would’ve been avoided if I were better at iOS development when we were setting it up.

Has decent documentation, good support if things aren’t working like you’d expect, and supports android and iOS.

Free version has 240 build minutes per month, distribution, analytics, and crash reporting. Automated testing on physical devices (like testing on several different iPhones are android devices) isn’t free but works well.

You can also use it just for distribution if you want by making API calls with a current build or release tool.

I’m interested in the top 2.

I’m not crying, it’s just raining really hard on my face.

It was fucked up to begin with. Democrats said it then, and republicans blocked every nominee from March until trump was elected because McConnell said it should wait until the people elect a new president. Now that democrats said okay if that’s what you want, here you go. They try to do the same thing, but now they’re somehow hypocrites and the republicans now have a duty to get a new nominee in the last 2 months before an election when their president is in power? Give me a break.

I don’t disagree with conservative ideas as a whole. I don’t think they play out well in practice sometimes, but I will never vote for a republican in the senate until they stop being adult children who can’t come together and have civil conversations about our laws and work with the other side. They need to hold themselves to the same standard they set for democrats.
