I'm running the Nvidia edition of Pop!_OS on my X1 Extreme Gen 1. I've got 3 external 4k monitors connected to it, in addition to the built-in 4k screen, and it's running perfectly with a minor nitpick that the fans turn on a

While the implementation certainly seems very nice, the ideas behind Prism 2 aren't particularly new, or unique for that matter. For example the .NET ecosystem already has (for a long time) most of the stuff that is presented as being

I made the switch from a Macbook Pro to a Thinkpad X1 Extreme with Linux two years ago, and I'm still pretty happy about it. Some things to consider if you install Linux on a Thinkpad: - If you use your laptop on the go regularly, you

LINQPad is awesome, and I'm always amazed to still find a lot of .NET developers who've never given it a try. A cross platform version is high on my wish list.

I think that the current iteration of EF is still a great fit for small to medium sized projects. Besides offering strongly typed queries (LINQ) and updates, it also provides some additional functionalities such as migrations that such proj

I really like LINQ, and I generally also tend to prefer LINQPad over SQL Management Studio for simple DB queries/lookups. It has the extra benefit of allowing me to mix declarative LINQ based queries with imperative (C#) code, making i

In the case of C#/.Net, there are more alternatives for document DBs with native Linq-based drivers. For example I've used RavenDB in a couple of web app projects, and it has the extra benefit of being fully transactional and havi

That's what I thought as well, because that's what's being told. However, Microsoft recently released the experimental Blazor framework, which is C# + Razor on WebAssembly. Among others things, it actually is for "making

Hi, looks great! Yes, can you please post the solidity source code? I've just started learning solidity last week, and I like any understandable real world example I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Thx. I already came across that repo, and seems very outdated. I might have to check out creating my own plugin, and use this as a start.

Yeah we got the same problems with ES. I do think we "overused" it a bit by often using it as a secondary index/viewmodel store of the sorts. In hindsight that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. If we had only use

In a large internal project we still make heavy use of Groovy for scripting. All scripting languages besides the new Painless language were deprecated in version 5, and now in version 6 they are removed. This hampers us in our migration eff

NancyFx was also the first thing I thought off when looking at the examples. Before the .NET Core days I always used NancyFx as a drop-in REST service when I needed one in a non-web app setting, like a Windows service.
