September 2007: Silverlight 1.0 was released as a short-lived experiment to
bring development to the browser.

@khalidabuhakmeh And what a S**tshow that was... But I can respect the goal. Anything to challenge the JavaScript madness. Since you keep posting about , I've started looking into it. Looks interesting that it can output to webassembly as well. I'm interested to see how well that plays and how competetion with is doing

@khalidabuhakmeh So it seems. They are not afraid of showing in addition to in their videos, which is awesome. I far prefer . Also seeing (from your posts initially), that supports XAML preview, providing live preview of the file you're working on which is really awesome. I'd be so sad if that was a VS-only thing.

More considerations about how to break out of for an application that is built on the wrong and has grown organically. It needs and it needs to be lifted to a new tech stack.

I’m writing on my about how I see the challenges ahead of me. Comments are much appreciated 😊

Should I be worried, when outlook.com shows me Debug error pages? 🤣

No, I don't want your email newsletter. I never want an email newsletter.

The last thing I want is "updates direct to my inbox".

If you've got an RSS feed, I might subscribe to that though.

@Marcus @neil that is awesome! Thanks for the tip!

@monsieuricon @neil exactly. If they offer mail but not RSS, I’ll assume that their goal is to feed me ads and BS and not the content I want though. So maybe I’m better off without it at all

@cloudthethings @codinghorror my guess is that it is due to the nsfw tag. They probably don’t want that content to fly out too publicly

I'm dipping my toes in now. Seems like an interesting take on keeping things loose and performant without overcomplicating

Hi, everyone. I’m looking for remote front end dev work. I’m based in France with full EU work eligibility. I’m 20+ years experienced. I’d truly appreciate any leads. Thanks so much.

@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterandworse turns out you have a very common name, so you’re hard to stalk on LinkedIn. Any chance you could share a bit more on your background and skill set?

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterandworse thanks for sharing 🙏

I don’t have anything for someone with your level of experience, but I’ll keep an eye out 😊

So, I put some code in a private repository on GitHub. Then Microsoft slurps it up and shoves it into their steaming pile of whatever they call it. Later, someone asks a question and they get a (maybe useful) slug of my code without any credit or respect for my privacy. Is that about right?

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@ndw quick search has people claiming that copilot only trains on public repositories, but I am struggling to find a credible source to back it up 😅

Late to the party here, but the chance that new .zip and .mov domains mostly get used for malware attacks is 100%

Not sure who asked for this, but this is a bad move.

Block it all.

This sort of thing undermines our collective & is fundamentally unhelpful.

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@jsrailton literally my first thought when I saw this list of names. No one at Google is that dumb. There must be malicious intent here ☹️
How can we fight this?

Pro tip: Your demos aren’t actually cross-platform if your project only builds on Windows and targets .net7.0-windows.

@khalidabuhakmeh did someone disappoint you? I feel pain behind your words 😅

I feel like is circling the drain after getting stocklisted. Sure, they had problems delivering on promises and deprecated everything before new stuff was ready; but now with big layoffs, supporters not responding in time, draconian Software Store licensing, scams and IP theft, I’m not sure what is left to love about it anymore ☹️

I’m looking to now more than ever, but I don’t know if it is ready for our business needs 🤔

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@rokojori totally agree. The product isn’t perfect, but it is still really good, and we do rely on it for our products, but I am very worried about the future of the company 😵

A negative of quote-toots being introduced is the most insufferable strain of person will sit there critiquing anyone and finding targets. I don't object to the feature but get ready for the burn.

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@recluse @SwiftOnSecurity can we get a shared, federated block list? 😊 if the same person is blocked by a large enough margin, his toots will show up with a content warning “this guy is a piece of 💩; consider blocking”

hört sich die neue working draft folge an und langsam habe ich echt das gefühl, dass ich wie so ein stamm irgendwo in den tiefen des amazonas, der nie kontakt mit dem rest der welt hatte, einfach websites baue, mit html, css und js und ohne grossartiges build und framework gedöns und anscheinend gibts das halt gar nicht mehr, aber ich und meine kunden habens halt noch nicht mitbekommen. 🤷🏼‍♂️

eldamir,
@eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

@webrocker stay strong. Your tribe is bigger than you think!
All these fancy frameworks and build pipelines have their place, I’m sure. The great misunderstanding is that “everyone should use them for everything”, and “this is how to build modern websites and you are missing out”.
The tech hype, complexity merchants, and “technical writers” shovelling BS have really managed to impact the industry. But I feel like we’re coming around. At least, there are sensible folks here 😊

    Any recommendations for a great gaming keyboard for a 12-y/o that’s not a 200 € SteelSeries Apex Pro? 😅⌨️

    eldamir,
    @eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

    @matthiasott I feel like Steelseries and Razer are usually what you see, but they're pricy, and many models feel kinda cheap. Buttons too heavy. Elbow plains. Flimpsy in design. I've always been happiest with Logitech products

    Calling out on its bullshit.

    "This is totally real!"
    "Is it though?"
    "Nah, jk lol"

    eldamir,
    @eldamir@hachyderm.io avatar

    Evidently, I wasn't the only one to raise the concern, since now I'm seeing this 😆
