   You may want to take a look at Chromely and its WebView2 offshoot EdgeSharp: https://github.com/chromelyapps/Chromely https://github.com/webview2/EdgeSharp

   Yeah, starts closer to 12MB for a trimmed console app in .NET 6. It works really well (I've been distributing one for a few months now).

   WinForms support in .NET 5 and 6 is great. It's getting a lot more attention than WPF (which is owned by the Windows team), and it's likely that in .NET 7 it will be trimmable and maybe even AOT-compatible.

   Disagree. .NET 5 and 6 previews have been remarkably solid+stable for me.

   Something like 60MB if the application is not trimmed. Closer to 10MB if the application can be trimmed.

   I can’t recall where, but I think I heard Richard Hipp say that developing Fossil helps the SQLite developers dogfood SQLite. There’s certainly some synergy between the projects.

   That's interesting, thanks for the context.

   Yeah, there are certain divisions/teams/products within Microsoft where I have to work really hard to read between the lines of their PR gobbledygook. Basically the further away from Developer Division, the harder they are to un

    I also get the impression that HoloLens is in a particularly awkward spot right now. It was built on/for a tech stack (Windows Core OS and UWP) that is more-or-less dead now, so there is a great deal of uncertainty about its future.

    I don't think Microsoft owns Electron...

    I'm not particularly interested in a Microsoft-branded Chrome variant on Linux. But this is interesting as a stepping stone toward WebView2 on Linux, which will give Electron some serious competition: https://github.com&#x2F

    As others have noted, Process Monitor (ProcMon for short). It’s a really excellent no-nonsense GUI tool. This is a good overview of how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjKNx41Ubxw

    > There is tons of Microsoft software that cannot even be packaged via MSIX (Office, Visual Studio) Yup. Office tried MSIX for a little while and then gave up because it broke many things, including the software I work on professionally.

    I've spent a lot of time trying to make MSIX sideloading work (and it is how I "distribute" my app to myself and friends). Unfortunately it's not nearly good enough for broad distribution of applications. It's poorl

    I'm probably the only person who started learning UWP in 2020; when the pandemic hit and I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands, I spent months building a UWP application for my own use. I think this is the right call on Microsoft&#x

    The especially wild thing is that this decision mostly harms .NET in VS Code – another Microsoft product. Rider’s implemented hot reload on their own, so this isn’t helping against Visual Studio’s main commercial competition.

    by ripley12 5y ago

    Not hyperbole. If .NET is going to stay relevant in the long run, it needs a better reputation for cross-platform development and much better tooling outside of Visual Studio. Newcomers to the language expect it to work well in VS Code, and

    I'm the author of that issue. I think I can be a little more frank here: this is a horrifically short-sighted decision that has me scared for the future of .NET. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the .NET team, and I'm ver

    My sympathies to you and the rest of the WT team. I think you’re doing a bang-up job under difficult platform constraints (that most people don’t appreciate), and the amount of vitriol spilled over this one interaction has been really disap

    If you have trouble running this, try updating fzf. TIL that my package manager's version of fzf is 4 years old, and that did not play nicely with some of the features used by Sysz.

    Good stuff. There's also a new Visual Studio 2022 release out today, it has dramatically improved integration with the new .NET 6 hot reload feature. Between hot reload and the improvements to make C# simpler and less verbose, I'm

    NativeAOT is supported in more places in .NET 6, there has been a tremendous amount of work to ensure that libraries are trimmer and linker friendly. But I believe ASP.NET’s targeting .NET 7 for that.

    This talk (from November last year) discusses a pretty detailed design for a zero-copy architecture. Sounds like it will be addressed soon. https://youtu.be/EkNBsBx501Q?t=1438

    I'm not a big fan of C# in Depth as a reference book. It follows a very chronological path (here's what was introduced in .NET Framework v1, here's what was introduced in version 2...), which can be interesting but I don&#x27
