C# 12 primary constructors reduce boilerplate when capturing dependencies. Prefer when: ✅ Constructor only captures dependencies/config ✅ No complex initialization Avoid when: ✅ Validation or non-trivial initialization is needed #csharp #codingguidelines #classdesign

Somehow missed that the new @Outlook app doesn't even work when you're offline. Like AT ALL. How is this acceptable?

the complexity of building a new web browser from scratch
The total word count of the W3C specification catalogue is 114 million words at the time of writing. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications. I conclude that it is impossible to build a new web browser. The complexity of the web is obscene. The creation of a new web browser would be comparable in effort to the Apollo program or the Manhattan project. It is impossible to: Implement the web correctly Implement the web securely Implement the web at all

So just this week I learned: 1. Chrome is “data mining” user’s browsing history. 2. Microsoft internal systems got hacked for like two years long. 3. iPhone users got hacked by zero-click zero-day exploit, again. 4. Someone is hacking security researchers with GitHub tools. 😬

Dear .NET community as a whole, We've exceeded our budget and we have enough dlls. Please use an existing assembly to contain that single type you just created instead of File -> New Project. Thanks -Dave Kean on behalf of perf (and build) teams around the globe

TL;DR: client-side scanning = VERY BAD idea. Source: Joint Opinion 4/2022 by @EU_EDPB & @EU_EDPS on Proposal for a Regulation of @Europarl_EN & @EUCouncil laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse (.pdf, July 2022, 38 pages) edps.europa.eu/system/files/…

ICYMI: "[The CSA Regulation] could become the basis for de facto generalised and indiscriminate scanning of the content of virtually all types of electronic communications of all users in the EU/EEA", said @EU_EDPB & @EU_EDPS in July (Aug 22) edri.org/our-work/most-criti… HT @EDRi

Is this the most criticised draft EU law of all time? - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

An unprecedentedly broad range of stakeholders have raised concerns that despite its important aims, the measures proposed in the draft EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation are fundamentally incompatible...

Conforming to their API and implied behavior. It’s been a PITA. They build in assumptions about behavior that isn’t necessarily obvious from the APIs

Dude, I've done this a lot longer than you have, and I've had to support all the weird IoC adapters that every old framework had. You're right on the face of it, but I still very much resent the power that you have over the rest of us.

Hard agree. I sometimes wonder if the endgame all along has been to own every aspect of the framework internally. Started with replacing Json.NET and just goes from there.

StructureMap did this in production apps in 2004. Every other IoC tool in existence does this. And also, I bleeping hate the AspNetCore team for forcing people like me to conform to their random ideas about how an IoC container should behave.
