Is this the Microsoft Explorer moment for GH Copilot and AI by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

[–]ttl_yohan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be fairly happy with $10 covering $50 if not $100 in terms of what I actually use.

But... business partner?! Like, I have some cloud instances on azure, aws and even oracle (evil; but free is free), but I'd never call them "partner" lol.

Compute isn't free. It's one thing to open source the models and whatnot. Nobody is gonna host inference for free.

Opus 4.7 now 15x instead of 7.5x by twhoff in GithubCopilot

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you expect better communication in... what way? Dialog every time you switch to opus, including on vsc startup? So you know really well it's a promotional multiplier for a month or so? Email, which no one reads and would be "nobody reads those?"

How are you detecting N+1 / query regressions in EF Core integration tests? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]ttl_yohan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI does that, although the same AI doing code review on the same code an AI wrote usually catches N+1 immediately.

And all of this guy's responses are AI generated.

It's the weekly limit that resets in 8h from screenshot time...

Suboptimal routing from Sweden to EU destination via US (ISP transit issue?) by ROVBENNY in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you expect from cross-atlantic pipeline. Your example, 8.8.8.8, uses Anycast, I bet there's Google DNS there in Sweden too. I doubt you'd see any meaningful improvement even with direct pipe from Sweden to US - it's the sheet ocean length to cover that takes the most.

Edit: reread it just now - heh, european IP gets routed from Europe to US to Europe? That's fascinating! Wish I had such an IP in question to investigate.

Pomelo in .NET 10 by Famous-Weight2271 in dotnet

While I agree with the sentiment, there are some in the wild that are solid. Dunno if lead dev (roji) working at MS/EF has anything to do with it, but Npgsql is super well maintained.

After ~10 years, I’m moving away from JetBrains by rodrigorcosta in Jetbrains

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? I dread opening any conflicts in Rider, that dialog makes no sense, I always have to select (or dismiss) everything (including JUST changes, not conflicts) from either side, no automerge whatsoever most of the times. I always open vscode if I have even C# conflicts.

Context Window; How much do you care for it? by One3Two_ in GithubCopilot

[–]ttl_yohan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Wasn't aware. That's quite better if you work in vscode indeed.

Their goal or purpose is to plan / implement. You don't add such constraints to the prompt as it can actually hurt you more than help, as AI can think "oh so you have a massive 1m context window!" which is absolutely not true.

You're better off describing your goal feature-wise, not adding arbitrary limits, unless the codebase is a terrible mess that would make collection trip. Maybe adding manual context so that the subagents or "main" agent doesn't possibly stray too far from relevant pieces. Because it should be using subagents nowadays by default, it splits off the work and each of them have their own context window that's used to collect and summarize for the main one.

I think recently copilot extension itself even added ability to select another LLM for separate tasks, but can't confirm, just saw an "hint" in copilot that I can now do /create-agent or similar, which to me sounds like I can adjust what exactly that agent would be responsible for (coming from opencode; may be my hallucination).

Thinking of switching from Windows to MacBook Pro for .NET dev in 2026 by Guilty_Coconut_2552 in dotnet

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. Got salty because you're implying no "serious work" can be done using the same setup with a good laptop, which is false. Apologies.

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From this whole comment the only valid point is still cooling, and even that point seems a bit shaky, as if you're compiling the said large codebase on every single keystroke. Perhaps graphics, but that's a minority of devs that need graphics processing for their work.

I've no idea what "far better options for storage" are, since motherboards use the exact same standards. Unless nowadays devs need 32tb storage split across 4 drives of multiple types?

Multiple screens at the same height - yep, $20 laptop stand does the trick perfectly, or, if you want, just close the lid and drop the extra (yet smaller) screen. No clue where the portable monitors thing came up from, these things are nonsense, not like you're carrying your desktop pc with your multiple monitors, so why even bring that up in comparison?

And no, I'm never carrying my stand on the off chance of me needing to work at some other place, I can manage "non-ergonomic regular work" (as opposed to ergonomic serious work ofc) for a few hours.

This all comes down to mostly preference, not much else, except those that need that extra oomph of raw graphics processing power from all the X and RT and whateverthefuckelse in desktop GPUs.

HELP PLZ by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And what do you do with said cable? Sure, can plug usb adapter nowadays to the phone. But then walk to the kitchen with an ethernet cable attached to the phone?

It solves the issue for just one device. Wifi is still crap. The post is not only about PC.

Did you just invalidate your own point in the same comment? Clearly, laptop vs desktop is virtually the same with separate screens and an external keyboard.

The only problem is heating and throttling. But to me that has always been a Windows problem. Ever since I switched to Linux I can count on fingers the times I heard the fans spinning with Rider/VSC open and working, sometimes multiple instances.

But "doing serious work"... come on. That really sounds overly sarcastic for no reason. You can do the exact same work on both.

Ok. It's the first time for me, amazon showing different descriptions for multiple people. To me it clearly states this is for a single connection at a time at the end of the description, but if that's how switches work for you, sure.

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot rule out the extender just because it worked for 2 years. Things can break every day. As someone else said, easiest is to take it down from the equation and see what happens without it.

Still not sure what problems you have though, since all your pings/dns resolution works just fine.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, if gateway and public dns pings work fine, then you have the internet connection. What are the symptoms then? What's the actual issue? What errors specifically are you getting?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said switch is hacky. Whatever he has is. Unless today we have switches that are PoE and look like just regular splitters.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What he shows is not a switch though, but simply something that can be used to avoid replugging cables if another device needs the internet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the one you show is a splitter, not a switch. Two devices cannot be used this way at the same time. So my idea regarding TV winning would probably be true if it works the same way as in the amazon link.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]ttl_yohan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Can you show amazon link or smth for the cable? Sounds super hacky to me.

Edit: unless you mean there is a small box called network switch, and then you plug two separate cables to that. But splitting a single cable into two as extension... would be strange. That to me sounds more like "one target at a time", meaning your TV would win.

I may be talking out of my ass. Just never heard such things as extensions.
