The Weird and The Wonderful

Caching is always great to deal with when it comes to debugging. Always so helpful it is, serving out valid, stale requests that don't reflect what is actually happening on the ground. [image: d8d05d53-236f-44d3-b8c2-6e9bc504f66a.png]

Very good points! Everything is a trade-off. :thumbsup:

This should go in Insider News! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I've been tinkering with these free AI tools for a while now, specifically ChatGPT, Copilot and codepal. The only one I've tried for generating code was codepal. Not very impressed: it only generates code snippets ('functions'), and after very few such short snippets it reaches the limit for free usage. For not code related questions, I found ChatGPT far better than Copilot. It used to be really bad just a few months ago, but it significantly improved. It reaches the limit for free usage pretty fast though, requiring a few hours of timeout. Copilot is just pathetic, in my experience, at this time. Both Copilot and ChatGPT give quite often wrong answers - they don't 'realize their own mistakes', but rather admit them when pointed out, leading to 'I apologize for the confusion/misunderstanding/frustration...'. Almost never 'for the wrong answer'! They're trained well ;) What they're not trained to say is 'I don't know', which I'd prefer, instead the constantly wrong answers. I usually know the correct answer, or at least I know when the answer is wrong, but what happens if I don't? They're nice toys, but not really useful and trustworthy in my opinion. Maybe I'm not very good at asking questions (they can understand), but I do it in a very clean manner and provide enough context, so I doubt that. I would be myself impressed with any decent answers (nevermind code generation), because my expectations are pretty low, but so far I'm not. Your Mileage definitely Varies!

GCC's warnings are often way too strict (and in some cases, outright wrong). What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I have an AMD 5800x and an AMD 6900XT (almost three years old). A VM, 3 Instances of "Lord of the rings" online, several browser tabs and 2 instances of Sketch up 2017 open. Be Quiet case with 2x silent wings and a dark rock pro 4 for the CPU. The fans only activate second speed from time to time for 10 or 15 seconds. My first AMD components and, right now, I do not see me coming back to intel soon. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I just thought it was interesting that it was effectively a second main(). I was expecting something more complicated for some reason. And yeah, synchronization is the real mess, especially when you need to build up the primitives from scratch. :) Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

Very cool. Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Yeah, seen it too. In fact, it was the default for a project I worked on. The idea was that you could filter on something like ten to twenty fields and depending on which fields were set, the string concatenation added fields to the WHERE-clause. The alternative was something like WHERE (X = @X OR @X IS NULL) AND (Y = @Y OR @Y IS NULL) AND (Z = @Z OR @Z IS NULL) -- Etc. Nowadays I'd use LINQ to build such a query.
