I was at a conference and a speaker dismissed my question by saying that I should check out the work of David Ho. 😵‍💫

@davidho I've had people paraphrase (incorrectly) my books back to me. It is unsettling.

It always makes me think of the scene in #Babylon5 where G'kar slams a person's face in his book.

Exactly 2 years ago, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Early in the morning, Ukrainians woke up to sirens and explosions. From that moment on, everyone's life changed forever.

Millions of people were forced to leave their homes in order to escape the shelling and simply survive.

10 years ago, also in February, Russia annexed Crimea. Hundreds of persecutions and repressions.

@Free_Press Two years ago, I worked for a company that had (has) a Romanian presence and a group of Ukranian developers as well.

Obviously, the Ukrainian developers have all become soldiers or something else by necessity.

Though I no longer work for that company, I know that the Romanian folks are very worried about Russia going through Ukraine and into numerous other countries that used to be subject to the USSR.

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.

If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday.

If you are looking forward to .NET 8 and the cool new #Blazor rendering possibilities, and are also wondering how per-user state will (or won't) be managed, you may want to participate in, or at least follow, this thread:

The .NET team has a “big tent” philosophy. We want every developer to find APIs that are approachable and suitable. If you are new to programming, we’ve got APIs for you. If you are more familiar with low-level APIs, we’ve got APIs that are likely familiar.

@rockylhotka@fosstodon.org avatar

One of the key benefits of #blazor is the ability to host your app on a web server, in the browser via #webassembly, or within a #dotnetmaui or other smart-client app - all without changing your app code.

Do your users need to be able to run offline, or need "infinite" scaling without heavy server load? Use #wasm or #dotnetmaui. Do you want to keep all your code on the server and minimize impact on the client device? Use Blazor Server.

"She explained further: “Often what you see in the industry is, ‘This is the Go native version of this other Rust or C++ library’ — you see this in every language ecosystem. We’re really just duplicating the same work and, in my opinion, it is just a waste of human effort and time."

I've been using off and on for the past few days. I am starting to figure out where everything is, and I see why people like it.

Clean, spare UI that appears to support all the project types used in (which is nearly all of them), with lots of dev productivity helpers (some of which I'm finding annoying, but will probably appreciate over time).

@khalidabuhakmeh , does #rider allow saving and restoring various window layout configurations?

Sometimes I'm on my Surface screen, and sometimes I'm on a massive 4k screen - each of which benefits from radically different tool window layouts.

rockylhotka,
@rockylhotka@fosstodon.org avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh It looks like I can have one default, but maybe not switch between multiple layouts

Just placed an order for a new (DIY) Mini-ITX PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 8600G APU and an ASRock B650I motherboard, 32G RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD

This is not my development PC, this is my new Home Theater PC (HTPC)

I just ❤️ Mini-ATX + APU 😉
