I find this blog post to be a funny snapshot of how event driven architecture initiatives can be sold internally. “Oh it’s going to give us all these great advantages and be super robust and performant. Here’s my diagram of producers and

The GUI code looks very simple at first glance - just four buttons and file picker and background worker. Chances are this would be straight-forward to port to a .NET command-line tool that would be cross-platform assuming there's not

I had not heard this part - the article implies that the systems that connect the turnstiles to the mainframes run OS/2. Pretty neat. The machines that are the topic of the article (the MetroCard machines themselves) still run Window

Every time someone sends me an appreciation on the Namely feed I print it out and tape it to my wall. It’s nice to have a reminder that my work helps people do their jobs better.

How about the wakeup word even working reliably anymore or not offering me an upsell on every other interaction.

There will come a time when there is no more oil in the ground that is economic to extract. Land transport can use batteries with current tech fairly effectively in many scenarios but aviation, as we currently understand it, needs energy d

It’s something new every release. Current is golazo, previous was gravity. https://github.com/grpc/grpc/releases They use this to pad the release notes so they don’t have to comprehensively document the behavior

An interesting and well written article. I appreciated that they got into horizontal trimming aka field trimming, but vertical trimming like “this person can see all things for all objects except those with property X==1” is a whole separa

Falcon Heavy was specified relatively early in the Falcon 9’s development cycle. They were originally going to do more Falcon Heavy missions but in the meantime, blocks 3 and 4 of Falcon 9 came out and the Merlin kept getting better and be

It’s a good article. At Namely we use Dapper which is a “micro-ORM” developed by the folks at StackOverflow for .NET. I really like it because it gives us the mapping part without the sql code generation part which I think is the thing th

At Namely our payroll and benefits systems run on .NET in Linux containers on k8s talking to Postgres, SQL Server, Redis, and Kafka, and we integrate between these services and others via gRPC. Some of these services’ endpoints are exposed

4 GB RAM seems impossibly tight as well. I'm not sure if 4 core and 4 GB was ever a common or representative setup for PCs; perhaps 2 core and 4 GB in the Vista timeframe...

At work we've been slowly pulling code out of our WebForms monolith. That's still on .NET Framework, and will be forever until we're done killing it, but we can use recent VS and MSBuild with it and we use C# 9 as well. Bus

Agreed that `var` isn't going anywhere, but this feature's best use case is with complex generics/enumerables and things like anonymous tuple types. For example: // old: var x = new List<KeyValuePair<st

This is an old trick for when you need to deploy to media with a fixed size - floppy/CD-ROM/etc. Make a file that is 5-10% the size of your media and don't remove unless you're running out of space in crunch time.

Business logic ports over really well - we have been able to effectively copy and paste code and the corresponding tests between a legacy .NET Framework WinForms app and .NET Core 2.0 and later service (WebAPI or gRPC) and it mostly just wo

SQL Server partially supports it - indexes for example are not versioned which causes snapshot transactions to fail if someone rebuilds an index - even if it’s not in scope of the snapshot.

this specifically. new List<KeyValuePair<string,int>> { new (“a”, 1), new (“b”, 2) } versus having to barf out the type name for every element will be REALLY nice.
