Hear me out: PDF as a configuration file format.

@dotMorten At this point I can't say that I'm surprised. What I do not understand is how did we get here?

OH LOL! The new WinUI 3 MapControl in the latest v1.5 experimental release is just a webview 😁😁🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️github.com/microsoft/micr… <shamelessplug>If you want a proper DirectX11 map control there's still the ArcGIS Maps SDK</shamelessplug>

@davidfowl I do not think we need another one, just choose one make it good and stick to it... The whole UWP, Win UI 2, 3 product line is still in an unusable state. If we invested the same effort into WPF and evolved it to be something like Avalonia, most of the people would be happy...

Developers: I don’t trust Microsoft to build a new UI stack because Silverlight Also Developers: Why won’t you build another cross platform UI stack.

Reading comments about why C# and .NET aren’t more popular: Developers: Because Microsoft stigma Also Developers: Microsoft won’t build a cross platform UI framework

The OpenAI story.

@terrajobst Has been one of my pet peeves...

@DCoulbourne @taylorotwell @joshbedo1 @charafmrah Ohh boy, I really hope that you make this happen...

@taylorotwell @joshbedo1 @charafmrah Josh I’ll take a 5k bet. We get a scope doc and each get 20 hours to work on it. All hours must be streamed. No 3rd party external apis, everything self-hosted.

@mjovanovictech var entity = GetEntityById(id) ?? throw new EntityNotFoundException(id); ;p

This is no. 1 way to do a 𝗻𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗖#. I personally really like the modern `is null` and `is not null` logical operators. The main reason is they read more like a sentence. I will ruthlessly optimize my code for readability. This approach is easier to reason about. But there's also the practical argument for using the new approach. Since `==` is an operator, you can overload it and change the behavior. If someone actually did this in my codebase, we would have a serious problem. But I don't want to turn this into code-shaming. We can agree to use `is null` for the intent. What do you use to perform null checks? REPOST = Teach your friends about C# pattern matching♻️ P.S.

@daneelwiggins @nickchapsas Unfortunately not just 20 years ago, I felt that 😅, it was recently, Blazor server, we just can't seem to learn...

@ArpadBarta @nickchapsas 20 years ago?

Microsoft's new UI framework next year

@terrajobst Obviously...

Hi @JenMsft ! Just hoping for any updates on the taskbar situation. Its been a while ...

@emergencynap @WithinRafael Are we talking about WinUi 4? Win UI 3 is getting stable, just about time to ditch it and start over ...

@WithinRafael New UI framework coming soon

Why so serious?

@nickchapsas I knew that you eventually would start using F#...

I would like to announce that I, too, have moved away from TypeScript

@firstdrafthell Not necessarily programming itself, mostly the context in which I am doing it. Let it be the language, platform or the codebase. In either case it is a sign that I should do something else...

Every now and then, I get in an "I hate computers and programming" mode, which normally lasts for a couple of weeks. Anyone else like this?

@anton_t0shik And this is why most of my JS side projects die if I do not finish them in one go...

I love coming back to a javascript project after not touching it for a hot minute, only to find out it doesn't run anymore because some nodejs or npm bullshit.

@dotMorten I felt that

What it’s like building with the Windows App SDK.

@dotMorten @wstaelens Many legacy reporting features were built on top of it... It is a real pain though, recently had the privilege to fix a leak, I just don't ever want deal with it again...

@wstaelens People still use XPS? 😯😮😲

LOL when you get excited about WPF improvements in the .NET release notes and click the links, only find them all completely empty 🤦‍♂️#improvements" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/june-20…

neovim is the single worst editor i've ever tried in my life. not only is it accessable through the terminal only, making me feel like its the 80s, it also is unusable on windows (the operating systems for getting actual work done). i dont care about your linuxy rice cringe, anime girls and borderline cp, contact me when you can use a real editor (vscode) made for people (me) who instead of spending their time "ricing" their editors, gets actual real work done. truly pathetic.
