Sure, but why do you need to use Windows for such a specific setup?

Last time I tried to use it for an appliance, we weren't able to buy licenses. Microsoft gave us the contact to the only reseller in our country, and they couldn't find anyone in the company who knew how to sell Windows IoT licens

I don't think regular Windows 11 is that useful in those cases. You probably either want an intranet connected Windows client, that gets activated and updated via a local server. Probably also a LTSC release, that doesn't get feat

I like this idea a lot. Currently the biggest issue for adoption seems to be the missing packages for most programming languages, and for homebrew/etc. It should even be possible to compile the dotnet library to a C-compatible shared l

Let's implement this formatting in all code editors and replace YAML with it :)

I guess there are some Python workloads on Azure, Microsoft provides a lot of data analysis and LLM tools as a service (not paid by CPU minutes). Saving CPU cycles there directly translates to financial savings.

Microsoft is huge, it's many companies inside one company. .NET seems to be somewhere close to Azure, but now far away from Windows or the business applications (Office/Teams, Dynamics, Power Platform). Things like GitHub, LinkedI

AOT requires a lot of fiddling around, and might break the application unexpectedly, with very weird errors. It is mostly targeted to Blazor (WASM) and for serverless functions. The default runtime and JIT are fine for most use cases.

The Stream is awkward. It needs to be processed either once at startup or lazy on access, or every time it's used (allocations!). Also discovering multiple files is awkward.
311.
by andix 10mo ago
Yes, you can. But it's a bit cumbersome. The API to read them is not really intuitive, they are only accessible as a Stream, so they need to be either read every time into a string (new allocation, slow), or you need a helper that read

It's a code generator that runs during compile time. It's a source generator that adds some generated code files to the project. So it runs way before AOT or JIT. Once AOT/JIT run, Comptime is already invisible to them, they

The syntax looks a bit like F#. But F# only has a few features that generous people might consider meta programming. There was a lot of fuss about meta programming around 10-15 years ago, but it never got a lot of traction. Maybe for a good

Please don't. Nobody wants even more complexity in MSBuild ;)

I do a lot of .NET programming, and I've never seen them getting used. :O

Modern C# and .NET are great. It still suffers from the bad reputation of the Windows-only .NET Framework. It's still a quite heavy platform with a lot of features, but the .NET team invested a lot of time to make it more approachable

Does this finally allow reading string literals from files and include them into the binaries? I've seen a Go project that was heavily using https://pkg.go.dev/embed for loading some template files, and got a bit jealo

Array also implements IReadOnlyList if I'm not mistaken. I think C# doesn't really have immutable collections, they just can be typecasted to IReadonly* to hide the mutable operations. But they can always be typecasted back to the

This has to be on purpose, right? Redacting documents is hard for people who didn't learn how to properly do it, and don't have the right tools. But for courts, the FBI or the DOJ this shouldn't apply. They know how to do it

Is there any option for passengers to chose another airport? Or for ATC to force the plane to use the next best airport? For example if the runway is under construction and severely blocked.

I'm not fully convinced that those devices don't create noise at full power. But one issue still remains: LLMs eating up compute on the device you're working on. This will always be noticeable.

From my personal experience it's around 50:50 between Claude and Codex. Some people strongly prefer one over the other. I couldn't figure out yet why. I just can't accept how slow codex is, and that you can't really use

It really depends. When building a lot of new features it happens quite fast. With some attention to context length I was often able to go for over an hour on the 20$ claude plan. If you're doing mostly smaller changes, you can go all

I wouldn't run local models on the development PC. Instead run them on a box in another room or another location. Less fan noise and it won't influence the performance of the pc you're working on. Latency is not an issue at a

Right now there is a lot of drift between real and honest version, so it's hard to find the original title.

I had the same experience (postgres/postgres on default port). It took me a few days to find out, because the affected database was periodically re-built from another source. I just noticed that for some periods the queries failed unti

It's really a trap. I'm surprised they never changed the default to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0. So you would need to explicitly specify it, if you want to bind to all interfaces.

I was surprised by the same thing, a tool I run that uses Next.js without me knowing before. I noticed this, because Hetzner forwarded me an email from the German government agency for IT security (BSI) that must have scanned all German bas

They were never meant to be tiny, in the sense of just a few hundred lines of code. The name was properly chosen poorly and led to many confusions.

In reality their structure is much more like the Box with Christmas lights I just got from the basement. It would take a knot theory expert half a day to analyze what’s happening inside the box.
