Using CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter with a TimeProvider is not obvious and potentially inefficient depending on how you do it.

I often see people mention JIT and GC as performance differentiators comparing C++ and C#, but rarely see mention of object allocation overhead and locality of reference (reference types) or branch target prediction (interfaces/DI).

#Dune2 was an absolute masterpiece. If you like movies, it felt like the way parents/grandparents describe seeing Star Wars. If you like the book, not only does it live up but it ADDS to it in ways that will probably satisfy you. Go see it.

Hard agree with this. .NET docs (most of MSDN really... maybe due to technical writers?) were once among the best. Now ASP has tons of undocumented APIs, it's hard to find docs for old patterns, you need to parse outdated blogs, Twitter MVP bs, etc... reddit.com/r/csharp/comme…

When you're young and figuring things out, it's common to quickly assume bugs exist in a platform/library when you can't find them in your code. It's usually in your code. When you're old and find an actual bug you work extra hard to make sure you aren't fooling yourself 😂

@ericniebler C# is just really fantastic for getting things done! It has almost all of your library needs built-in with consistent APIs. Documentation emphasizes "scenarios" above APIs. In recent years, performance nuts can even scratch that itch to a similar degree that C++ offers.

@GeoffreyHuntley Valve Index if you only want PCVR. Quest if you want a standalone (with vendor lock-in store) or wireless (with extra latency) experience.

@GeoffreyHuntley I do! Mostly ACC with occasional iRacing. DIRT is also a wonderful one to try. I haven't tried the new Forza yet, but plan to. Past versions have lagged behind in sim realism compared to these two, so it wasn't as compelling for PC gamers.

Nitpick of annoyance at @Atlassian listing "C", "C++", and "CSharp". Why not "C#"?

@dotMorten The term "source sharing" gives me bad memories of MS's "shared source initiative".

@terrajobst I've seen this feature used in a misguided attempt to optimize out "this" when it wasn't needed. By me, as a youngling 🤷‍♂️.

@firstdrafthell I'm always a little sad that proof-of-work systems like Hashcash didn't work here.
