You know why PHP is still around? Because it's fucking simple.
The levels of abstraction in Web Frameworks like React/Angular or ASP.NET Core is a little silly. You have to navigate through 4-5 files of logic before you actually get to the rendering of a page.
PHP?
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
If dotnet could give me a syntax and framework as simple as PHP, I think it'd dominate. Just one file (index.cs), not a zillion files and boilerplate.
@b4ux1t3@khalidabuhakmeh Again, I'm a career C# developer for the past 20 years -- dotnet can have whatever it wants from my fridge because we've been homies for a long time.
My point is, I just wish the complexity of "simple" in ASP.NET was similar to other languages. Expecting new people wanting to get into development to "just figure it out" is one way to treat them, but also the best way to drive them to a more accessible lang/framework.
My goal is to make the C# tent bigger, that's all.
@enusbaum@b4ux1t3@khalidabuhakmeh As someone transitioning from PHP to Kotlin/JVM, there is absolutely nothing in PHP that can come close to how grotesquely over-engineered Spring Boot and its various pieces are.
Wait, Amazon "Just Walk Out" was literally thousands of people in India just watching you shop through the cameras and labeling items you put into your cart?
Here I am thinking they were lightyears ahead of the competition doing crazy AI / Computer Vision .... and they were literally just click farming it.
@chiefgyk3d WELL -- I'm using wifi only for this computer, and I didn't know beforehand that I would run into this issue, so once I joined it to the wifi, even if I released the DHCP lease, it'd renew.
Ended up re-re-installing and doing the whole command line + "I have no internet" bit and that worked. But yeah... just crazy you can't bypass that in normal order anymore.
@enusbaum yeah itโs a PITA and a reason I still use an enterprise key for windows from a prior job (they know and donโt care as long as I donโt share it)
Hey #Disney, you want more people to come watch your movies? Tell theater operators to stop with the crazy amount of commercials before the actual movie.
We went to see #TheMarvels today and even though it was a 1:00P showing, the actual movie didn't start until 1:40P because of the FORTY MINUTES of commercials (and four trailers) prior to the movie.
I'm shocked movie studios don't mandate limited commercials/ads before their films. It really, really cheapens the entire theater experience. ๐คฌ
Just received our 100th โญ on the MBBSEmu Github repo! Considering there probably aren't enough #BBS users left in the world to fill a Denny's -- I consider this a win ๐ค
@nebyoolae Based on my research, just wanting a "Live TV" service (for cable news, etc.) the best choice is probably Sling TV's "Blue" package for $40/mo.
I feel like in 5-10 years we'll YEARN for the "good ole' days" of cable, and only having to manage one bill for your at-home entertainment.
Started implementing Terminal.GUI into MBBSEmu to enable an Initial Setup Wizard. Pretty slick and easy to use!
Hopefully should make configuring the common options for Major BBS/Worldgroup a little more user friendly than manually editing a JSON file. #bbs#emulation#OpenSource
@enusbaum Could you use this program to make a front end to any configuration file? Could it work in the main CLI without opening its own ASCII dialog thingy?
