They're easy to shut down, but when the reactor is first turned off the core is full of unstable isotopes that are byproducts of the fission reaction. Those isotopes continue decaying even with the reactor "off" until the bec

The very short version is that by synchronously blocking on the async method your thread may end up holding a resource (thread context info or the calling thread itself) that the async method needs in order to run its continuations. Here a

Note that it's recommend that you avoid using these because they carry a risk of deadlock. Unless something has changed recently .Net doesn't have a 100% safe way to synchronously call an async method from a non-async method.

A lot of the changes are aimed at making it easier for people to get started with Asp.Net, and most of those aren't breaking changes. Traditionally Asp.Net has had a lot of boilerplate around project setup and configuration, and things

The landscape has been changing rapidly since .Net Core (now just .Net) matured 3-4 years ago. As you say there are a LOT of big enterprise shops out there using .Net, but more and it's catching the attention of small companies and sta

It probably depends on the company. Most gas pumps in the US only support swipe payments (as opposed to chip based EMV or contactless). The gas station gets charged lower credit card network fees if they submit address info with the swiped

Sounds like they should probably be using a SQLite database instead of trying to make a custom hand rolled solution using raw files.

Encoding that in the log message itself still seems a bit crazy. I’m not familiar with log4j, but the .Net logging libraries I do know (NLog and Serilog) completely separate writing log events from processing (writing, sending, whatever) t
