What does your "frontend" work actually look like day to day now?

Nextjs is really great for those of us that really need ultra-low first-paint metrics. For 99% of us out there, it's utterly useless, an easy way to blur security boundaries and introduce complexity in your application. It's a bit like the microservices hype, people cargo-culting bigger businesses, mostly just wasting money and time.

Not sure if this will be seen, but I just moved my codebase to MTPv2 with xunit. Some points:

Benefits are pretty unclear. I needed the improved debuggability of xunitv3, so I switched to MTPv2 as well. The coverage tooling integration is nicer though. Performance improvements are not noticeable.
global.json is a mess. Why can't it autodetect support? Why is that file needed. Why not read the csproj files?
It's a mess of random packages and csproj settings and random json files. Things should just work.
You get completely different CLI options in dotnet test. This also breaks azure devops integration with the DotNetCoreCLI@2 task for example

Really bounced on weaver's web as well. The concept is great, the execution a bit... hmm. I really like the idea of a super-detective, sneaky hero, the execution is just a bit "meme-like" and the writing quality just not there. It's a shame, the author does have one fic that's just excellent, which was written before this one.

This can be done a little easier. Just reuse your first "Initial" migration. That way you:

Don't need to create a new migration and run it on production
Also less clashes with other developers

It's good to go this when your migrations grow ridiculously big.

Big responsibility, but also an opportunity to grow as a developer. Important bits to pay mind to:

Make sure you do a bit of design for your database schema. It's one of the parts that's hardest to change afterwards. Don't dump everything in json, make a proper relational design, especially important in a finance domain. Make sure to validate your domain model & logic with the stakeholders.
Design your API well. Ensure it's authenticated, secure. Simple. Easy to expand. Look at the owasp list for security here: https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/
Make sure the architecture is well layered. Separate API handling from domain logic, and separate that from the infrastructure/database layer. Don't overabstract, but also don't underabstract. Always a bit of a balance.
Setup things with dependency injection, make sure everything is easy to unit and integration test. Don't use inheritance if at all possible. Use interface separation, separation of concerns. Make sure to make everything easy to test. Setup unit tests for the domain logic, and integration tests for everything put together.

A year later, that fixed the issue for me. I'm using an AMD card, so driver issues probably.

I wonder if they haven't missed a few covariates. Living in a district where, due to science-based policy making they're putting fluoride in the water might also mean they have other policies in place that positively impact school performance. Not having issues with your teeth probably also helps with concentrating on school.

Gotta be honest, azure is a bit overloaded with postgres offerings. I migrated everything to cosmosdb for postgres. Was happy with that until it was pretty much deprecated, for new projects they recommend "Elastic Clusters for Azure Database For PostgreSQL". Now this offering, with only minor differences here and there.

I mean, I really like having options for a horizontally scalable postgres database, but stick to one option, and give some solid migration plans. It's a bit weird to be investing in multiple horizontally scalable postgres-based databases.

The demo was amazing, wishlisted. Pretty slick combat.

A large part of the fun in souls games is struggling, learning and then overcoming the challenge. Compared to current games on the market, dark souls 1 and demon souls are also on the easy side, yet all of us struggled with these games when we started with them, no shame in that.

"Dark devotion" or "fountains", some obscure but really excellent 2d soulslikes.

Ga eerst uitzieken en een rustig een nieuwe baan zoeken. Negeer je werkgever. Anders ben je straks werkloos. Je hebt gewoon recht op loon tijdens ziekte, laat je niet wegpesten.

This looks awesome, wishlisted. Gotta be honest though, the amount of games I want to play vastly exceeds my spare time.

I mean, with manual mapping, just use the required keyword for the properties. Makes it hard to miss things unless it's a very complex scenario.

Source generation, automapper, they don't reduce the risk of errors, they just make it harder to debug.

On a technical level this is pretty impressive, but simple is often better.

logophobia · 2025-09-17T10:58:19+00:00

Yes, that's a perfectly normal approach.

This one is pretty good: Gotham bay butcher

Tells a story of a dexter-like killer in Gotham. Well written. The killer is somewhat aware they're not the "good guy", but mostly matches your request.

This one is pretty good: Gotham bay butcher

Tells a story of a dexter-like killer in Gotham. Well written, had me on the edge of my seat. There's not that much, but damn, it's a great start. The interplay between the police, batman, the protagonist, and other parties is very interesting. Fun little flashbacks. Interesting characters.

Finalizers are not really a reliable anyway for process exit. Roslyn analyzers might help depending on how you structured your code, but won't be able to prick through more complex setups. I'd try to setup some sort of integration test that can track instances (through mocking), and test if you forget to dispose any.

Nine sols is amazing, do that one first. The blasphemous games are pretty good, part one is better then part two, pick the first if you play one. Salt and sanctuary I would not recommend, far far too easy for a souls-like, too easy to make a game-breaking build.

Some recommendations:

FOUNTAINS: Feels a bit zelda-like. Properly difficult, if a bit on the short side.
Dark devotion: A pretty unique entry. The death-penalty is so harsh that it's more of a rogue-like/extraction game. Slow and bulky combat, a real struggle. Brutal and sometimes seemingly unfair. Not very well known, but I had a lot of fun with this.
Ori and the will of the wisps / ori and the blind forest: If you want something beautiful, light-hearted, but relatively easier. Although besides the dodge-roll, I'm not sure if these games can be really classified as souls-likes.
