>.NET, .NET Core, ASP.NET, .NET Framework, .NET MAUI

ASP.NET Is the web framework that comes with .NET

.NET MAUI is the application user interface framework that now comes with .NET (Since .NET 6)

.NET is the overarching term for everything .NET.

.NET Framework refers to every version of .NET 4.8 and before. .NET Framework only ran on Windows (unless you used Xamarin to run it on other frameworks. Xamarin was a third party implementation of the .NET framework, it is now owned by Microsoft as well).

.NET Core is the new version of .NET. In the first 4 (I think) versions it had it's own branding, .NET core 1, 2, 2.1, and 3. .NET Core runs cross platform across the desktop OS's natively. Xamarin was still used for mobile development.

What would have been .NET Core 4 has been rebranded as .NET 5. Xamarin at this time was brought into the fold, allowing full functionality of .NET Core API's across desktop and mobile. I believe this rebranding was done because .NET Core was being considered full feature enough to take over the legacy of .NET.

One thing you didn't mention but I'll touch on as well, is .NET Standard. Lot's of people get confused about .NET Standard. .NET Standard is just the definition of what different frameworks that implement .NET Standard can use. So if you write your code to target .NET Standard you can't use .NET Core specific API's but what you can do is have the same code compiled against .NET Standard referenced in your .NET 4.5 - 4.8 Code, or your Unity Code, or your Xamarin code. It was primarily designed with libraries in mind.

In grad school in a class on the Semantic Web, we created a very simple iOS flashcard game that used flags, animals, monuments, and a few other details to help kids remember details about countries. It was a good exercise to pull all of these bits together using Linked Data, although I am not sure how well it would have scaled.

I have a video of it somewhere ...

>This is a great distinction that I think a lot of people would be happier if they followed. Just because someone wants your time does not mean you have to, or even should, provide it to them. Wanting to spend time with you is a basic prerequisite, but is not the only criterion.

I think there's another piece to that as well. Some people require more external validation than others.

Those who do will seek out that validation. And a great place to get that without a lot of effort is on social media.

That's not to say those who require less external validation don't use social media. Rather, I imagine that they use it differently.

I don't have data to back any of that up, just 50+ years of living and interacting with other folks both in person and online. As such. YMMV.
When I WFH, I still get dressed into "work clothes". When I check out for the day, I'll change into something more comfortable (not that slacks and a collared shirt are particularly uncomfortable). I don't remember to do this every day, but when I do, it really helps me unplug afterwards. No work clothes = no work!
> People earn Points by contributing to the community, for example by submitting quality posts and comments. Based on these contributions, the community ultimately decides how many Points each person receives.

What does this mean? Is it just that votes get translated into "Community points", or is there some other process by which "the community decides"?

Edit: Ok, the Distribution section later describes it.

> To propose a change, publish an alternative list and create a poll to have the community approve it. If the poll meets the minimum quorum and passes (by Points), it becomes the official contribution score (except in case of significant bribery).

What the ...? It reads like an April fools entry. Unfortunately, we're far from April.
I'm not passing judgement on his stance, the ANC's actions, and even on whether terrorism is a good or bad thing. I'm merely stating that he did have prolonged support of the entity that we today call terrorism.
The sixty year old promises failed or were rolled back because of the 40 year old ratcheting towards neoliberalism removed the ability for government to conceive of meaningful action, as a bipartisan consensus with no alternatives.

How would we build 150 reactors today? We would get together "industry leaders" to consult, who would suggest half of that be some non-nuclear nonsense to line their pockets, then we would provide incentives to companies written by those companies with loopholes, would take that money and make half assed attempts that allow them to keep the largest portion of taxpayer money possible with the least effort, and then abandon their efforts to shell companies embroiled in lawsuits.

Little would get done at the cost of massive amounts of public money flowing into private hands. This is by design, and its the only thing politics is aligned to do. When it works out in some area, it's fluke for the system and fortune in a sea of failure for the people of the nation.

if you use ublock origin, you can permanently remove pinterest results in google images with the following filter:

shameless plug: i've been maintaining a browser extension for a couple of years called 'google images restored' [0] which reverts google images to how it was before 2019. that extension, mixed with the ublock origin filter removing unwanted domains (pinterest, alamy, 123rf, etc), makes google images enjoyable again for me.

As an addendum to the point about them being sued, google did something absolutely hilarious in response. They made the "preview image" the ACTUAL IMAGE when you select something, instead of the cache, they only load the cache if the image itself fails to load.

The effect of this is it's in fact muuuuch easier to get at the original image in image search. Just right click the image and hit "view image" or "view image in new tab" and, that's the original.
That's a lot of good information about library classification systems. But none of of it seems to impinge on this sentence:

Because China encountered major setback on their nuclear ambitions due to the US ban (China was previous planning to use US technology for their nuclear plants). It took a few years (>5) for them to mature domestic technology and scale up nuclear plants.
By the way, writing it down made me realize that "community points" is only a few steps in semantic space from "social credit". Coincidence, of course.
Well, you do you. We don't have to agree. But the power dynamic and the norms of this field don't really support the argument you're trying to make, and I'm certainly going to push back on Troy Hunt's version of that argument as well. There is in fact something squicky about the idea that people running low-effort bug bounty programs should have an expectation of high-quality reports, given that they're asking people to perform an extremely high-value service with no promise of compensation. I don't think it's immoral to set those terms, but I do think you surrender your high horse when you do it.
Beyond a simple FizzBuzz filter to screen out the truly bad applicants, it seems extraordinarily difficult to sort the rest. A probationary period (the norm in many countries) theoretically can do this, but in practice I think it again only helps screen out the egregiously poor employees.
The US should lead the way. The problem is that we aren't and can't get our leaders to do anything. I'm also not concerned with the criticism, as it is warranted. I'm concerned that the problem still persists and no one else will pick up the mantle. This is just kicking it down the road and saying that someone else should solve it. Even if that's true, it doesn't mean the problem isn't getting worse in the mean time.
Mostly it's that the USA has been obsessed with Russian even since the end of the Cold War, with literally no one in DOD thinking seriously about China as a threat. Very much like 1930s Japan to be honest.

> It's hard to be more wrong when postulating that USSR tried to destroy ethnic identities.

Their propaganda insisted it didn't exist. They literally moved communities across Asia to eradicate it. They insisted they were harmonious, unlike the divided US (sound like a familiar story?). There's a book by Daniel Patrick Moynahan which predicted the breakdown when the USSR disappeared.

In terms of industry data, spam filters are generally seen as effective with about 99% effective, though Google has claimed they've achieved about 99.9% efficacy in the last few years, though there's some question as to how they are measuring that.

The problem is, even at 99.9% efficacy, with around 50% of all e-mail being spam (that number used to be much higher, and there's some question as to whether the drop to 50% is a trend or a reflection of failures to detect/identify), that's still a lot of spam getting through.
Usually what happens when I try a text editor, shell, etc. is that I'm happy with 95% of the features but there are a few things that nag at me. And inevitably I go down a rabbit hole of hacks until I end up with (an approximation of) my desired feature. If I do that enough times then something ends up wonky until my whole setup is kinda scuffed.

As an example pertinent to this post, I repeatedly have to dismiss notifications from pdflatex about some sort of incompatibility with my setup. I think it's relative line numbering, I'm not sure though. My attempts to fix it have only resulted in pdf files occasionally opening as raw code.

I will take a look at SpaceVim, though. I've been using vanilla vim for a while to edit personal stuff because I don't want to open spacemacs...
According to Federico Faggin[1]:

The 8008 used P-channel silicon gate MOS technology and was packaged in an 18-pin package: a very poor choice, imposed by Intel management’s aversion to high pin-count packages.

I see your point. You're operating at a meta-level. If your decision leads you to suffer so much reputational damage that you risk your future ability to even continue playing the game in the future then all this talk about probabilities is useless.

For me Hot Reload is the most important feature, which will very likely be a reason for me to move a bit from Python over to .NET, which I haven't touched for 10 years. Back then I really used it a lot (after moving away from OLE/DCOM/ActiveX), in C++, Managed C++, C# and IronPython (no GIL!). I absolutely loved it, but it was limited to the Microsoft ecosystem.

Yesterday, while randomly googling for "hot reload" I got aware of the drama which went down around two weeks ago, when Microsoft decided to remove this feature from the release, even after including it in the previews.

Here is a good summary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9_pzDjw9HQ
Not that it's gotten any better in the intervening 26 years.
I agree. Good message, but could've used a proofreader/editor to refine it and make corrections.
I think that in practice a frontend engineer is still going to be making a bunch of ux and design-oriented decisions during implementation, since no design ever translates perfectly. Botching these over and over really slows things down (or hurts overall quality if they never get cleaned up) compared to someone with enough design sense to improvise and fill in the gaps.
I think the problem is more likely decades of under development/funding of social programs under Salazar, not high taxes now.

My dad grew up under Salazar, they didn't even have school past 3rd grade, everything was underfunded as hell, it was basically a corporate oligarchy.
I think it's pretty realistic that someone would like to get in contact with you but doesn't necessarily have your phone number or a way to ask you for it. And sometimes it's nice to catch up with old friends even if you weren't super close, especially if you find yourself in a new area. I think the idea of trying to make people "prove" they're your real friends and cutting the people who don't reach the threshold out of your life is a way of making your life a lonelier one. Not everyone is going to be there giving me the shirt off their back when I'm in serious need, but they don't have to be to be worth associating with.

Sorry if I'm being pedantic, but a lot of people do think that all military and police aircraft are filtered by FlightAware, FlightRadar24, etc., and that's not true. Right now I can find several military and police aircraft flying in Southern California on both FA and FR24.

As far as I know, the FAA doesn't ask anyone to filter any types of aircraft or data. They do have a program, LADD[1]: "Aircraft owners or designated representative may request limiting aircraft data displayed (formally referred to as blocking) or unblocking of flight tracking data." If you use FAA data I believe you must honor the LADD list, but as far as I know owners have to submit every registration number or call sign that they want blocked (and that list has even been FOIAed[2]). It's always possible that a flight tracking site might decide they want to voluntarily block some type of aircraft, but so far there doesn't seem to be evidence of that that I know of.

It would be great if this attitude were more prevalent, though I see some comments taking it to a bit of an absurd extreme—"you would't hire a React developer as a GPU programmer!!"—and this is both valid, and somewhat missing the point.

I don't think the argument is that we should pay no absolutely attention to domain expertise for software engineers. Skill in a particular domain of software development (or business) is valuable; an experienced front-end web developer is going to have a large library of knowledge that is just not accessible to someone coming from e.g. an embedded background. If we need a senior front-end engineer, I'm unlikely to be hiring people who have no experience with that area of development.

But I have seen some frankly silly objections to candidates in the past. If we're primarily using React and I've got a great candidate with 10 years of Angular experience, I'm not going to reject them outright. I am way more interested if you demonstrate a clear understanding of the problem domain generally, if you are able to talk about your work and the challenges in it, and are able to communicate effectively about your own skill and experience. My experience suggests that if you can do the above, you're not going to struggle to start writing e.g. Ruby as a developer with a Python background. Or even worse is the inclusion of specific technology – people including things like "Redis" as a requirement in a job posting is baffling.

Related: from a personal perspective, learning new languages and frameworks is by far the single most powerful tool I have ever encountered for increasing my own technical skill. Seriously, it's an absolutely insane effectiveness multiplier to be able to bring together knowledge and standard idioms from different systems and development paradigms.
ASP.NET isn't only WebForms. It also covers the Razor engine as well as their WebAPI (API only).
I've no doubt he was very much a hardliner in his day.

What I'm speculating about is what he would have thought today, after the last 10 years and the maturation of reddit, facebook and co. Provided he hadn't spent that entire time incarcerated of course!
Unless you are a startup that needs someone cranking out features within two weeks, the time it takes a senior[0] developer to get familiar with the company's actual work vastly outstrips the time it takes to get familiar with their commodity tech stack.

(And if you are such a startup, you want mostly senior generalists anyway.)

[0] Well, this is also probably begging the question. For me that's part of the definition of senior. Based on resumes I see lately it's far from everyone's.
> Most ad blockers don't affect simple 90s type banner ads.

They do? Or they are not "ad-blockers" really.

The reasons ad-blockers block ads:

1. Ads are using user's data bandwidth, slow down the page loading and distract user from content they are trying to read

2. Usually it's not a single ad, but we are talking 4-5 ads with placement optimized to maximize clickthrough, while negatively affecting the user experience of using the page.

The above reasons apply for all ads, including context based ads. It's ads that annoy people, regardless of their context. Tracking is what annoys them on top of the ads.

> I don't mind simple context based ads.

Would you mind context based ads on your phone as you turn it on?

How about context based ads inside your car?

How about context based ads inside your house?

The only scenario in which any kind of ads are acceptable is one in where the user opts-in to see them.
And even if they did, they could share that information with a database or a federated API. No reason to bother with NFTs.

There's a much bigger problem with solar than storage: Energy Density. And energy density isn't a problem we can solve, it's bounded by the laws of physics.

An average nuclear power plant puts out 1GW of energy in under 2.5 square kilometers, or 1 square mile. To achieve the same output (Since you'd need double the panels + storage to produce energy at night) you'd need to destroy 450 square kilometers of natural habitat to generate the same energy with solar panels. Realistically you'd need much more than that to account for cloudy days, and even more to offset electrical transmission losses because no one is building a solar farm in latitudes that see 100+ cloudy days per year.

Detractors of nuclear will argue "Why don't we do rooftop solar".. well, 56% of the world's population lives in cities where that's not possible, and that number isn't decreasing. NYC for example uses on the order of ~50GW or 51 Terawatts per year. You'd have to cover 15% of the state in silicon glass to get anywhere close to powering it. Personally, I'd rather take a chance on nuclear in lieu of the the massive amount of environmental destruction required to power modern society with solar energy.

> But, as to the rest of what you write here, the solution, at least in my mind, seems fairly simple, if not easy: developed countries must invest massively and immediately in clean energy and carbon sequestration technologies

This is something I actively fight for. I often state that the US (and west) don't need to be carbon neutral by 2050, but carbon negative now. That's how we unburden the developing world. That's how we pay back for the damage cause mostly by us.

But CCS is still a complicated subject and highly debated within the green communities (just like nuclear is). People think we can get away with just planting trees, but the research and experts don't think that's true (especially since new growth forests are carbon sources (fact that surprises many people) instead of carbon sinks (old growth forests are major sinks btw)). We're going to need a wide breadth of methods to solve this and we shouldn't be taking any off the table as long as the result is that we're carbon negative[0].

[0] The arguments against CCS tend to be that if we have them then the coal and ng companies can still operate. Though this obviously misses the point since we care about the resultant emissions more than the source.
