Okay, weird to call it S3, if it is just object storage somewhere else. Its like saying "EKS" if you mean Kubernetes, or talking about "self hosting EC2" by installing qemu.

I really don't get it. Do they host it on Amazon S3 or do they self-host it on a NAS?

I think they had this feature at some point. It randomly selected something to watch, with a skip to next button.

If I'm not mistaken, raspberry pi has composite video support. At least some generations (2, 3 and 4?) seem to include it in the headphone jack. Edit: even the 5 seems to include composite video, but it requires a little bit of solderi

Punishment often doesn't matter. Until someone notices, it's finished already for a long time. People are disposable, and some just take the risk to go to prison for a lot of money. It's often possible to disappear into anot

It’s crazy how modern and complex company structures became impossible to govern. There are so many cases in which criminals just open a ton of new companies, to overload the authorities. Until the authorities shut something down, they move

.NET really failed most its efforts to stay relevant for Desktop applications. Microsoft never really followed through on good UI frameworks. But ASP.NET core is a great platform for any kind of backend application.

20K servers are probably running a lot of different applications I assume.

That's impressive, considering a major release is sniped every year. I've never thought it would be that much of an improvement outside of synthetic benchmarks.

Whenever I read about those yearly performance improvements, I wonder if there are some real world benchmarks. Some applications that were benchmarked on all .NET versions up from Framework 4.7 as a baseline. And all the .NET versions since

Is it really owned and run by Microsoft? I thought they only provide infrastructure, servers and funding.

I've posted this idea already last time with the nx incident: we need some mechanism for package managers to ignore new packages for a defined time. Skip all packages that were published less than 24 hours ago. Most of those attacks ar

Interesting idea, but both the Cyrillic and Greek capital E would be a similar size to the Latin capital E. And in both alphabets the lower case e doesn't look like a smaller capital E. It's е/ε.

The document on the picture was for sure typed on a typewriter. Teletype machines would either be all caps or all lower case. Also they wouldn't be able to print a multi column header like on top of the document.

I'm also into building abstractions, but I always try to leave "escape hatches" in place. I try to build my abstractions out of reusable components, that can also be used independently. If the abstraction doesn't fit a n

I had the exact same experience with layered architectures like described in this article. Avoid them as much as possible, naive and simple code is often better. It might look messy on the surface, and the layered code might look much clean

I've seen the struggle with not upgrading frameworks and staying on an old version. Usually the cost/risk for upgrading is perceived much higher than it actually is. And the cost/risk of technical debt is mostly ignored. I&#x

.NET 10 is the next LTS version. It’s going to be released approximately in November and already quite stable. Now is the time to upgrade to 10, do some testing and then deploy once 10 is released. 9 is a non-lts version and 8 (LTS) is alre

That usually involves some serious work to get done. Just upgrading to dotnet 8/9/10 is much easier.

by andix 1y ago
I know that. But if you never upgrade, your project drowns in technical debt until the point where it only eats up money, and no changes can be implemented anymore.

No, linux support is not the only new feature. Read the change logs, it's thousands of huge improvements everywhere.

I really don't get why people still bother with unsupported dotnet versions. There might be a few edge cases that prevent upgrading, but in 99% an upgrade from dotnet 3.1 to dotnet 10 is completely smooth. Running in an unsupported dot

I guess you would need to switch to a dotnet native database, like litedb. Even if you would use postgres, there would be native code left, decoupled from the dotnet application though. It would be interesting though, if it's possible
