Which is basically a VM. It's not that the Windows kernel isn't running even when using WSL.

Back in the day Notepad had a 32K file size limit as well. No stalling, but also no viewing your log file that way.

Ah, learned something new today. Thanks.

The C# (and other .NET compilers) treat an assembly as the smallest unit they will emit. You'd have to change that to some semblance of "object files" instead along with a "linker" step afterwards to allow for an as

Annotations don't work for local variables, though. So you only get nullability checking around calling methods and accessing fields, right?

I was surprised when the PowerShell team announced that Out-GridView made a reappearance in PowerShell Core, built with Avalonia. So at least someone at Microsoft took notice. I'm really rooting for the project to gain some support. Ri

This isn't really due to MSBuild, as the C# compiler has that limitation already. MSBuild just calls it. Basically a single assembly has to be written in the same language. You could probably get something similar with multiple assembl

Python is interpreted bytecode. This means that for every small instruction on the bytecode there's a round trip to the Python interpreter that has to execute that instruction. This is faster than parsing and interpreting at the same t

Not necessarily just those things. A foreach loop might have a heap allocation, async/await almost certainly, calling a method with a params[] parameter as well. Everything you call from the BCL might allocate, too and it's not al

I hope. But I don't hold my breath before .NET 5. 3.0 is all about getting Windows Desktop scenarios to .NET Core. Not many of the people who require those would benefit from a cross-platform framework, as neither Windows Forms nor WPF

In fact, the techniques for C# here would be pretty much the same as for C++ or C: Don't do dynamic allocation in the hot path. And if you must, keep the lifetime short so it gets cleaned up predictably (usually in gen0). However, for

It would conflict with this, though: > ProjectPSX dosn't use any external dependency and uses rather simplistic C# code. And for a learning project I think the ability to download the code and get it to run immediately without hunti

NTFS with default settings will actually degrade a fair bit on such a folder. You probably have to disable 8.3 legacy filename generation to make this work (or the usual pattern of using the file name prefix as folder names beneath that fol

Also things like "My Computer", the recycle bin, the network, phones connected via MTP, etc. It's basically something the actual file system is only a part of, and yes, some file system locations are hidden, some are merged,

Well, that's because Explorer doesn't navigate the file system, but the shell namespace.

They also had the drone ship names around the landing circle in the earlier days. Seems pretty much to be the same point.

Aren't there still 32-bit versions of Windows 10? AFAIR only the server versions are 64-bit only by now.

Is there any reason to ever use it (or: Why does it still exist)? In-memory databases for caches or other things that are not critical? I have to admit, I was astounded when I first got the error message from MySQL that a table was corrupte

Most modern browsers cache a lot of data in memory as well to make things like navigating back snappy and avoiding a full page re-load. It's also necessary to cache most of the state of the previous page to allow retaining form fields

Lookbehind is restricted in many regex engines that support it (many don't at all). Some require the lookbehind to be constant-length (so if you have alternatives in there, they all have to have the same length, and you can't use

Not most cars I've seen so far, but most filling stations also have hoses long enough to reach around the car, so unless you drive a battleship or a tank, it doesn't really matter.
