@davepl1968 There is already a direct answer to the question in another comment, so I'll skip that. But why is it the "worst bug in years"? It might happen to anyone not using TDD :)

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

@effectfully It's all sounds good until a leader turns into an authoritarian. Which happens more often than not IMHO.

Do you think deploying Windows applications using .vhdx containers with symlinks for version management is a viable approach? #Windows #DevOps

the hard part of software engineering was never the code

[Dmitriy Kovalenko @neogoose_btw]

The only problem I have with Rust is that when you're dealing with some complicated type logic, your generics are showing up when searching for git merge conflicts.

@gf_256 @grok What did the author mean by "circuits" in this thread? It does not seem like electrical circuits.

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

Would a sorting algorithm (comparison based) with O(n) running time allow any applications that were not solvable without it for YOU? #ComputerScience #Algorithms

@Anthony_Bonato Feynman–Kac formula:

We could pay with potatoes. Mining potatoes would not require such amounts of electricity. Capitalism could be a problem in the long-term though.

OSS announcement:

Dapper, protobuf-net and SE.Redis to remain free! (but tips and sponsorships are very welcome).

I wish this didn't feel like an unusual statement/position.

I also totally understand the dilemma. There are exceptions, but overall: the OSS funding model fails.

And yes, prototyping is what #AI is good at in its current state.

💡I had an app idea for myself and I started in empty workspace in @code. Opened Copilot with Agent mode. Typed what I wanted, not explicitly stating any data source either.

What happened next was those wow moments... 🧵

@dannytt @timheuer @code Even for ZERO efforts? :)

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

@BillGates Don't get me wrong, the story in the article is enticing too. The pictures unfold with the story, which has vibes of old-school children's books showing 3D-like objects when you unfold them.

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

Wow, I've never seen the @BillGates blog. And though it has an enormous advantage over other blogs due to its self-sustainability and self-investment, it looks amazing! Its dynamic ASCII images with animations are just something! #webdesign

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

@BillGates And those ASCII images are even react to a mouse. This is so cool!

@ploeh What I had in mind was maybe a glimpse (e.g. your recommendations) on how to further improve the use-case class (make it less fat) with this approach. But I understand that it wasn't the goal of the article. And that article already covers a lot, thanks!

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

@ploeh Also wondering if there are any chances to see the same samples in a functional language. Can't stop thinking about it after seeing "On .NET, it's called FSharp, and all of that would be a single line of code." :)

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

@ploeh Isn't the use case now having almost everything the controller had? Now the logic is abstracted from the framework. Better. But isn't the use case still FAT?

[Pavel Sapehin @psapehin]

I wish #ChatGPT or #Copilot could make a stories/tasks breakdown for me for a new feature in a medium-sized project. But they just couldn't, even with having access to the code base. #AI #SoftwareEngineering
