I very much agree to get to work tackling the things no-one else enjoys, especially if you find you enjoy it. I learned fairly early on that I enjoy debugging and fixing bugs far more than I enjoy greenfield development. This seems to be le

Chat-GPT is addicted to emoji. It's as if in trying to de-formalise it so it stops typesetting em-dashes it's gone too far the other way.

Yeah, HA is a bit of a nightmare, you quickly get thrown into YAML-hell, and without much real guidance. I gave up trying to do much with it. It still runs my MQTT broker and basic automations, but for anything tricky I no longer try.

Well there's blazor, which does that rather well, but it's treated with the same suspicion that most MS frameworks are. The fear that it'll be killed for poor adoption, leading to poor adoption. The blazor adoption probably i

When I reported something, and this was probably around 8 years ago, they only had bounties for their equipment, not for "online properties". I reported a vulnerability in some HR software they owned, but alas I can't even fi

It's understandable for such small companies, like Cisco, that does the same for the myriad of online offerings they've acquired over the years. Cisco have gone even further, by forgetting about their security announcements page,

Thank you, if you write that up as an answer on SO I would be happy to accept this there too. I'll write up a bug on the issue coreWCF issue tracker over the weekend. The more I looked into the issue, the more it felt like I was trying

I didn't, but I've not had much previous success with these kinds of issues. Just for the sake of it, I've now tried pasting this whole blog into claude. It has some strange suggestions, including many things that don't

What resources do you think should or could be handled in an overriden close method on RandomService? It'll be calling base.Close(), and doing what else?

Thanks. In my experience the CoreWCF team are fairly active, but I didn't want to bother them until I can understand if this is a problem with CoreWCF. This might also be a problem WCF client, which is maintained by others elsewhere in

Your'e right, "High CPU" just means more than zero. It was a symptom of the stream continuing to be written to. I've edited the title now to be better.

Thanks for trying to help. On the client side, randomStream.Close will get called when it's disposed. On the server side, I'm not sure what I could put into an overriden Close that wouldn't just be base.Close()? RandomStream

A post in which I try to rubber-duck a CoreWCF issue I've been having, because stackoverflow no longer seems suitable for asking questions about programming issues. Screaming into the void of the blogosphere is catharsis for getting my

Every time em-dash is discussed, there are floods of people who swear blindly they always previously used em-dash all the time. But the numbers don't lie. Before LLMs, em-dash usage in online text was minimal. Whether it's now act

Like all punctuation: it's a choice. One that has made it's way into LLMs because they've injested a lot of actual books that were professionally type-set. Humans typing online don't tend to use em-dash; LLMs often make

The horrible naming thing is epitomised by the frankenstein that is, "ASP.NET Core 2.3", which is a re-release of "ASP.NET Core 2.1", which is actually a .NET Framework thing. Re-released because ASP.NET Core 2.1 had a b

Porting .NET framework to .NET core / standard / 6+ really isn't as smooth as MS would like you to believe. And the support lifecycle for .NET4.8 is ironically better than they are for .NET 6 (already dead) and .NET 8, becaus

You inspired me to check what .NET does in that situation. It throws an OverflowException: ("Negating the minimum value of a twos complement number is invalid.")
