Software Engineer @Microsoft. I love to work with C# and .NET but also enjoy writing JavaScript and Angular.

@AiWithSaira I am using https://t.co/GAVEtr9dtV for that reason and I have peace of mind

If you missed this video, I strongly recommend watching it. It's a great introduction to 3D graphics, short and easy to understand. I had a lot of fun reimplementing it in Winforms and text mode.

@RyanRodemoyer2 I built my app https://t.co/GAVEtr9Ljt with Minimal Apis, Razor Pages, EF Core and Postgres. I had tone of fun building it and don't think I will ever bother again with javascript Front End frameworks to be honest

@iamfra5er I do it all the time for my peace of mind in case I don't want to use a service past 30 days. Usually I do it even if I use the product. I was doing in in WoW and I played several months. I can relate with your customer.

@itsolelehmann You have message, I just tipped my toe in #solopreneur space by building https://t.co/Kv4mMRBCVw and definitely I am hungry for more, would love to chat.

@technohustler I wanted a way to make sure my family would have access to everything they’d need financial instructions, banking details, crypto wallets, and even what to do with my company accounts and domains if something ever happened to me.
Not just passwords, but context and next steps.

@digitalocean Thanks, please take a look as this is a blocking issue for me.

@digitalocean I registered at your site and then proceed to delete the autogenerated Team. Now that I try to create a new Team I get an error Team creation limit reached but I don't have any Team. Also the UI does not display any useful error message. I saw the network to find it

@davidfowl Regarding analysis paralysis what I found to work best for me is to implement the feature e2e in the most naive way possible, this will more than often reveal other problems I haven't initially thought. When I have all the info proceed with refactoring.

🚀We just dropped SmolDocling: a 256M open-source vision LM for complete document OCR!📄✨
It's lightning fast, process a page in 0.35 sec on consumer GPU using < 500MB VRAM⚡
SOTA in document conversion, beating every competing model we tested up to 27x larger🤯
But how? 🧶⬇️

Wait what?!? DeepSeek V3 has absolutely crushed everyone on *math* -- not just coding! :O

[Ricky Stam @RickyStam]

@davidfowl I like #2 tbh as it initializes the list the same way as any other object. It looks familiar imo

@UnoPlatform I am thrilled to release this League of Legends project based on the Uno-Platform through this repository. This project was born out of my passion for exploring new possibilities in cross-platform development and sharing my experiences with the developer community.

One of the main objectives of this project is to assist desktop developers who are familiar with WPF technology in starting their journey into cross-platform development using the Uno-Platform. By demonstrating how to extend the skills and experience accumulated in WPF to the Uno-Platform, I aim to support developers in making a smooth transition from desktop applications to cross-platform applications.

I have been researching and gaining experience with WPF technology since 2008. Over the years, various cross-platform technologies such as Xamarin, MAUI, Uno-Platform, AvaloniaUI, and OpenSilver have evolved, allowing us to extend the skills accumulated in WPF to the Uno-Platform.

This League of Legends Uno-Platform version we're releasing is built on the rich UX of XAML-based design from WPF, C#'s object-oriented design, and a systematic project structure. It's a new challenge following my previous WPF version of the League of Legends project.

This project demonstrates how to implement large-scale projects on the Uno-Platform. By implementing complex controls as CustomControls, I aim to provide developers with rich learning materials. Furthermore, it includes various technical implementation cases of Uno, showcasing how to utilize the powerful features of the Uno platform in real projects.

In particular, this project presents a broad approach to distributed design for large-scale applications. It demonstrates how to structure and manage complex applications through modularized structures, efficient state management, and scalable architecture.
The Jamesnet.Core framework library is designed based on .NET Standard 2.0 to work identically in both WPF and Uno. This library is provided as Jamesnet.Window for WPF and https://t.co/154RgfjsEQ for the Uno-Platform.

In this project, I directly reference the actual source code of Jamesnet.Core and https://t.co/154RgfjsEQ, allowing you to learn about the design methods of XAML-based frameworks.
I hope this project will be widely used not only in Uno-Platform and WPF but also in various XAML-based platforms such as MAUI, AvaloniaUI, OpenSilver, and WinUI3, opening new horizons for cross-platform development. Through this, I expect desktop developers to naturally transition to cross-platform development and secure a broader user base. @UnoPlatform @dotnet @msdev @MVPAward @jetbrains @JetBrainsRider @VisualStudio #WPF #XAML

A few hours ago, Meta released the world's most advanced segmentation model:

And people have been busy executing god-like tasks with it.

@ImadTaieb @andreasklinger European founders go to US because it's a HUGE market. Europe is much more segregated, each country in EU is way more difficult to penetrate than states are in US. Also many more different languages in EU compared to US. US is huge and much more uniformed.

Paradigm shift.

Copilot in Windows now performs actions for you.

Tasks that used to take several minutes can now be done with a prompt.

Rename dozens of PDFs, create a ready-to-use Excel file, and so on.
