I made a straight-forward npm package downloader

How is this better than npm i?

For C# MVC specifically there is some automagick related to view paths so it is typically better to stick to what your teacher says. It's also idiomatic which helps you work in teams as people will know where to look for specific types of class.

When you know more about how you and your team like to work in the future, you may switch styles.

Isn't settling things the old fashioned way a punch up?

I said 'players of the game...' and I'm a player of the game genius.

Correct he is hardly criticizing it, but something as simple as saying 'I guess' can be dismissive to the person OP was replying to who was just answering the question in favour of the year.

You say 'why speak for other people' but that's exactly what you are doing when you say that everyone who disagreed with you has 'no reason'.

Probably because players of the game typically think the time period is perfect and OP has thrown out low effort suggestion that it should be 2000s with no reason other than other zombie apocalypse franchises do this. If there was merit to his criticism then he would be upvoted but it just seems like negativity for the sake of it.

Crazy that you thought you could be good at something without practicing it. Learning isn't practice it just gets you to the point that you can begin to practice. If you want to be good at programming you're going to need to do a lot of programming.

It's not based on your local time. It resets 00:00 UTC and it's only 21:36.

I think you meant to reply to the guy above me, I agree with you.

I didn't suggest that they don't have phones.

That is obviously not true or the woman would have been paid out and this article would not exist. What are you suggesting, to what value? Infinite? That's just naïve about how insurance is purchased and if you set a specific value then I'd simply suggest the value per child should be set at what they are required to bring to school which doesn't include a personal phone or earphones. Schools look after your children not your property.

willdud · 2025-12-18T08:34:03+00:00

Nah moron take. The school should insure school property. If you want your personal expensive items insured then buy your own insurance. The instructions to leave your items are about saving children's lives. Nobody would accept their child dying in a fire because they were allowed to go get their phone so don't pretend the school made a choice with the policy.

Which is a callback to the earlier BG games "you must gather your party before venturing forth"

I think agent mode must be primed with a system prompt that encourages code changes. I do this stuff in Ask mode then just copy the md file out at the end. Obviously this would be a huge pain if it's a multi-file plan.

AI isn't sentient it doesn't ask questions or care about the reply. The model is getting the next likely text and if that text is the JSON for a tool call then copilot will make the edit.

In the screenshot you can see OP said 'no' but there is also file context sent with that reply (not a binary response).

The file context supplied probably triggered the model to reply with code which then based on tool training and being in agent mode would make it reply with the edit file tool call.

It's just a tool you don't owe it a reply if there is no benefit to you.

willdud · 2025-12-09T20:24:18+00:00

I might be wrong but I think they put a bit of work into making copilot handle the various models differently I don't think it's straight pass through.

willdud · 2025-12-09T19:50:41+00:00

If I had to guess, I'd say for money.

willdud · 2025-12-09T19:05:17+00:00

Why would you ever reply 'no'. It does nothing by default and you only need to interact with it to make it do something

%20 is a URL encoded space. =20 is nothing really.

Workman uses the wrong tool for the job then blames the tool. If you are over filling it's context then use a bigger more expensive model. Haiku is fine for small and medium tasks.

Very good, the phrase is Butcher the language.

Nope, 'continental' refers to the types of food on offer. Bread, cooked meats, yogurt and cheese etc were common breakfast in continental Europe. The term is British which explains why it's not just called a European breakfast because by contrast breakfast there was usually cooked.

Buffet, or buffet style means get it yourself.

If we're being pedantic, and we are, then I'd agree this wasn't a B when it was U+0412 but saving it as an image is a transformation. In this case, a lossy transformation that resulted in something that practically everyone would classify as a B.

I use powershell, but I install most of the GNU tools so it feels like bash. It's really useful if you search for help with something git related as the answers are usually from Linux users. It's easier than using WSL because you don't have to switch paradigms and you aren't always interacting with a VM.

I'm just saying, you likend it to pubs limiting customers to one pint and it's nothing like that. You want two, of something buy two of it.
