Threading issues and 30 year old controls in winforms is brutal. XAML is WPF painful and not precise although clears out issues with Winforms. I'm really, really trying to build a native app now and it's just so painful that I'm always considering other options - since fighting with the limited controls and UI experience is a drag. I don't want to license 3rd party controls (have been down that road). The bloat of electron is a bridge too far - although always under consideration

The native UI components in VS 2026 to build native windows apps just feel really far behind (like years and years behind). Honestly, it's difficult to build a good looking, and functional, native Windows app in 2026 - which is shocking because the old style VB (3,4,5,6) made building native apps simple and easy back in the early 1990s. Cross platform is then another issue - I'm looking at Avalonia for a cross platform UI (wrapper on top of C#) - and trying to avoid electron but electron is a strong pull

Microsoft is moving to 100% native apps for Windows 11. They are stepping away from web-based wrappers. A new team at Microsoft will rebuild apps using native tools like WinUI. Engineer Rudy Huyn is involved in this shift. Apps like File Explorer should launch quicker. The Start menu and context menus will feel more responsive.

@cwebbonline We have been dealing with white nationalism from the founding - and Trump and MAGA are the latest incarnations. Civil war, reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregationists, John Birch society - it's all the same thread with different participants, but the same message.

THIS ISN’T JUST DISTURBING. IT’S A WARNING. Jason Selvig of The Good Liars shares what he heard from young folks at CPAC —and it should stop you cold. They’re moving on from Trump. But they didn’t reject him, they absorbed him. Trump normalized white nationalism, gave it oxygen to spread, and made it feel acceptable.

Recently we shipped extensions in Copilot CLI, letting you extends the agent's core capabilities. To experiment, I wrote one that pairs your Telegram bot with a CLI session so you can control it from your phone. Code with install & setup instruction at github.com/examon/copilot…

Hey folks, had some conversations about this today so thought it would be helpful to be clear. GitHub does not and does not plan to include advertisements on the platform. We recently identified a programming logic issue in the GitHub Copilot coding agent that caused a 'product tip', including a third-party suggestion, to appear incorrectly in a pull request comment. This issue was introduced on March 24 during a rollout that expanded Copilot’s ability to contribute to any pull request when requested to by a developer. As a result, a third-party link was mistakenly displayed in a way that could be interpreted as a promotion. Our goal was to share novel ways to use Copilot coding agent, and in this case, we highlighted our integration with Raycast as part of a broader set of product tips, but this was surfaced more frequently than intended alongside other feature suggestions. We have removed Copilot agent tips from all pull requests moving forward. We appreciate the community flagging this and apologize for the error.

They are coming for writing instructors now. And doing a terrible job at it. Oh the horror of reading academic journal articles that you don’t consider mainstream. The audacity of a professor saying she has a POV. And not once did writer say his academic freedom was inhibited.
National Association of Scholars@NASorg

Students developing their skills with the written word should not be ideologically encumbered by the rigid creeds of their own educational system. They should, instead, be at liberty to pursue and acquire the broad-minded curiosity, the intellectual rigor, and the patient humility that are, at their best, the hallmarks of writing in a free society.

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to @maurasullivan for always showing up. Not only today, but numerous protests, knocking doors for dozens of municipal candidates, supporting small businesses and being available when needed. This is who #NH01 needs to elect. #NHpolitics #NoKings
Maura C. Sullivan@maurasullivan

Incredible turnout at No Kings Day in Portsmouth! Inspiring to see SO many people standing up for our shared values of democracy, decency, and freedom since 1776. The weather was cold, but Americans and Granite Staters are fired up and ready for change. #NHPolitics

I have a theory. This is Renaissance Florence on the left and an Atlanta interchange on the right, both at the same scale. Florence's streets are so fine-grained that geniuses could run into each other frequently. In the interchange, running into someone could be fatal.

I don't think people understand how insane Renaissance Florence was. In a town of about ***50k people*** you had the following people all alive at the same time: * Leonardo Da Vinci * Michelangelo * Raphael * Amerigo Vespucci (explorer for whom America is named) * Niccolo Machiavelli * Sandro Botticelli * Lorenzo de Medici What happened to all that human capital? Did the intelligent men of Florence migrate elsewhere over the coming centuries?

Alicia, Courtyard Urbanist@UrbanCourtyard·
truly, many adults prefer the suburban model: a detached house, a private yard, and car culture. The market has spent decades refining and scaling that product, and as a result, those households face no shortage of options. But a large share of adults are not looking to spend weekends maintaining a lawn or structuring daily life around car trips. They want proximity and immediacy: the ability to walk their kids to school, to run errands on foot, to participate in a neighborhood where social life is ambient rather than scheduled. That demand is not being met. The supply of genuinely walkable, family-compatible neighborhoods is extraordinarily thin, and the housing types within those neighborhoods are even more constrained. In most U.S. cities, you can find either small urban apartments or large suburban houses—but very little in between. The idea of a spacious, well-designed home in a walkable setting—where a parent can realistically say, “go play outside with your friends”—is effectively a unicorn so this is the gap that the courtyard block is filling. A courtyard condo offers the spatial and functional qualities of a larger home—multiple bedrooms, generous living areas, access to outdoor space—while embedding that home within a coherent, walkable urban fabric.

VEO@vrexec

It’s fascinating how feelings change. My wife and I had a house in the US very similar to this one. 3000+ sqft on 1 acre. Surrounded by forest preserves. By all accounts it was the forever home. Gardens everywhere, dream front porch. I had a private office with a pinball machine. Jeep Gladiator and a family SUV in the driveway. Whole nine yards. In 2020-2022 it was a dream. Then we realized it wasn’t for us. The maintenance inside and out. Driving 10-20 minutes anytime you needed to go somewhere. Barely any sidewalks. Big reason we sold everything and moved to a European city was the simplest of conveniences and luxuries… being able to walk to literally any place we need and not have to pay $10,000/month to live there.

Want to make new software the way I do? I only started 72 days ago. I am now on pace to do 90X the amount of software engineering than I did the last time I was working hard on code in 2013. Literally with AI it's like I have 90 versions of myself coding.

Trump is completely trapped. The BBC confirms Iran is successfully destroying US spy planes and air defenses. They are absolutely refusing to bow. Now Trump either has to launch a suicidal ground invasion or walk away utterly humiliated.

In 2025, I spent $1,962 on public transit, Citi Bike, and rideshare. With AAA estimating the annual cost of car ownership at $11,577, that means I saved $9,615 by living in a walkable city with great transit. Car dependency is expensive.
