Just blogged: 5 Interesting Things I Learnt at #bsidescbr18. stephenawells.com/5-interesting-…

My wife thought I might like these, and she was right! I’m wearing them proudly to work today to show off.

@vkhorikov That was actually very informative, and opinionated, which actually worked. I like your advice re. differences in argument types vs return types.

We recently detected unusual activity within portions of the LastPass development environment and have initiated an investigation and deployed containment measures. We have no evidence that this involved any access to customer data. More info: blog.lastpass.com/2022/08/notice…

@Tyriar Where did you used to buy from? Surely it's a widely available dip you could get locally where you are? I've made plenty of raitas with cucumber and yoghurt, but never made tzatziki, I should try it.

Just made some homemade tzatziki, it's so good for how simple it is. Reminds me of some dips I used to get in Canberra.

@RickStrahl @chocolateynuget How about winget though. I've used that on my latest machine and seems to get the job done. Idean towards an official ms product if I had a choice.

@chocolateynuget To be clear: I'm a huge fan of chocolatey and it's my package manager of choice for many reasons. I've gotten huge benefit from it over the years both as consumer and publisher of packages and I'm grateful for it. Posting here in hopes of seeing Choco improving and widen appeal.

I don't know @chocolateynuget but this doesn't look like a good UI experience. Seems to me you need to separate out the Enterprise features from the plain package store functionality because this is useless to probably 90% of your audience. Non-paying, get that but nevertheless.

@jasontaylordev Hi! How do you handle application insights key in an angular front end? Just whack it in the environment file? Get it from the server in an app initialiser? Don't out it in there at all and log via a server side API?

Pair Programming? @ismonkeyuser

@jasontaylordev Sounds good but how about multiple projects in one angular workspace (including shared library projects). Could you have two .NET template website projects work with one root angular.json to allow sharing angular code with a library project?

@HeyWellsy The benefit of combined is a single unit to build, publish & deploy. It's the simplest approach. If you separate then you gain flexibility in build, publish & deploy, e.g. deploy front end as separate static web app. Regardless, your Angular app is still isolated in /ClientApp.

The new Angular 12 project template in .NET 6 is excellent. It's still built and published as a single unit. It starts Angular CLI in the background, but then keeps it running. The .NET 6 hot reload experience works seemlessly. Awesome work! #aspnetcore #angular

@slightlylate @johnallsopp @webdirections @phae I saw your talk, I didn't realise how influential it was at the time. Was awesome because I really got to understand service workers and what they can do.

@Tyriar How does playwright compare to selenium? Are they both doing the same thing?

I started a playwright test suite this release. Just like with xterm.js I love watching it run😍 The new test runner is very nice, it makes running tests in parallel so much easier.

Luna Paint v0.8 for @code is out! This release includes a new text tool, some fixes and a bunch of performance and other internal improvements to the shape/vector system. Release notes: github.com/lunapaint/vsco… Install: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

@layopower @davidfowl I was coming from an angle of writing a SPA, eg Blazor Web assembly, how would this play into the decision making process of JSON vs gRPC

Try out the new JSON source generator! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/try-the… by @layopower! #dotnet #aspnetcore

@danroth27 Couldn't use web sockets through a corporate fire wall, so just running Bkazor Server over HTTP. Seems to work fine.

Is anyone using Blazor Server over a SignalR transport *other* than WebSockets? If yes, what are the reasons why you don't use WebSockets?

@jongalloway @aspnet @davidfowl That was a good inside look into how it all came about from the masters themselves. I saw that HN post about DI and questioned it's inclusion as well, but when you explain about enabling cross cutting concerns etc. I think it makes sense.

@JamesNK @DamianEdwards I enjoyed it and leaned a lot. I look forward to giving it a crack on me next project. Thanks for your effot.

Some kind words about my gRPC talk at .NET Conf. I'm not a natural presenter and live streaming to thousands is scary AF. It's motivating to hear the time spent preparing and practicing created something that was helpful 😇 #dotNETConf youtube.com/watch?v=EJ8M2E…

@slace since when is momentjs legacy? that thing was pretty feature rich and the defacto timezone library, i can't believe it wouldn't be maintained

With momentjs being a legacy project, is there anything out that that will give me list of time zones and their friendly name to replace `moment.tz.names()`?

@markdalgleish Do you mean production builds that went to a testing environment first and issues were found while testing, or production builds that went to production and issues were found while production.

Got bitten by a nasty circular dependency issue that only surfaced in production builds when optimisations altered the final module order. Luckily, turns out there's a webpack plugin for detecting circular dependencies and optionally breaking the build: github.com/aackerman/circ…

abc.net.au/news/2020-08-2… Fascinating look at how ASIO works. Presumably for a recruitment drive and also to make us think it's OK if they pass laws so they can do more surveillance.
