Experiment... As the "search engine" behind a 5000-records auto complete API is an #efcore LIKE query. Loading 60000 more records into that table made the API endpoint slow (6 seconds to show autocomplete!)
@khalidabuhakmeh@maartenballiauw This is why I recommended just sticking it in a traditional search/index structure. 60k is so few records that, if I don't expect it to grow that much in the future, I wouldn't even lean on ES. I'd spend more time configuring ES than implementing a custom search index. Heh.
Thunderstorm outside and my brain goes "I wonder if the thing about not showering during a thunderstorm is true and, if so, what's the actual injury rate from that?"
I found a meteorologist who estimated it at 10-20 people through all fixtures per year… but they didn't have any hard data to back that up. Several other experts in various fields who all said it was possible and definitely happened… but outside of a few instances on ships I couldn't (at a glance) find any likely candidates.
Even if it's vanishingly unlikely, I can wait until the storm passes to take a shower.
Doing that definitely won't kill me.
That's about as superstitious as I get. It's one of those things that, since I can't prove the negative (that it's safe) with available data, why bother risking it?
You know why PHP is still around? Because it's fucking simple.
The levels of abstraction in Web Frameworks like React/Angular or ASP.NET Core is a little silly. You have to navigate through 4-5 files of logic before you actually get to the rendering of a page.
PHP?
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
If dotnet could give me a syntax and framework as simple as PHP, I think it'd dominate. Just one file (index.cs), not a zillion files and boilerplate.
@enusbaum@khalidabuhakmeh Right, but with PHP you still need all that, it's just provided by nginx/apache and an execution environment.
You have to know how to configure those things, in their own unique configuration formats, or you can lean on a one-click deploy environment. . .which is fundamentally identical to dotnet new razor.
Hey friends! I'm partnering with the Computing Research Association (CRA) (nonprofit) in sharing opportunity to bridge the gap between industry and academia. If you're a tech professional, please fill out this survey AND SHARE everywhere! https://cra.org/industry/p2pe
Long story short: soft skills good, overly technical concepts unnecessary in software development.
E.G. Yes, I grew up having to know how a computer works fundamentally in order to program it. I do not think that that knowledge is in any way required today for a lot of very respectable software jobs.
Thanks you the survey! This is a really cool initiative, I'm looking forward to seeing the results!
@bradwilson that's extra annoying. I think I saw elsewhere that you're just going to use the dotnet install script, that's probably your best bet at this point. I'm pretty close to just doing that myself.
@b0rk That sounds more or less like what I went through in the process of building out the zines I've been doing. This experience seems to be a shared one, since I know of a few other people who have almost identical experiences. Ha!
I know that #DotNet on linux (at least, ubuntu-based distros) is a mess right now, but my dotnet is installed in a very normal place, why are you having issues finding it?!
A small request. When you see something from someone new in your feed, before mashing the reply button to Begin A Reasonable Debate: first of all, please don't. If you must (you don't must), check if there are already 5 other identical Reasonable Debates in the replies. And also check the post date and maybe don't come be weird in a conversation two months after it happened? (and also simply do not, regardless of temporal locality, thx)
Hey #HamRadio, what's the best practice around coax pass through into the house?
I've seen the wall plates some hams have inside, what's the story with the outside? Are we talking, like, one of those electric utility boxes, like for phone/Internet?
Any gotchas around them I should know about that aren't immediately obvious?
@ai6yr It's nice that my intuition on this is seemingly correct.
I like to do a sanity check with real people before I start trying to dive into web searches, gives me a little bit of a BS detector. Thanks for the help!
