Does it run a VM under the covers like the Claude desktop app does? I've passed on the Claude desktop app for that reason, despite being curious about the "Routines" feature that i…

Likely because Netflix relied on Silverlight for video playback early on. I'd be surprised if they still had C# in their front-end stack (and I say that as a general C# fan, though…

"The spec" is loose in places and is full of undefined behavior which can change from compiler to compiler. Very low level code tends to hit these types of issues much more than ap…

I have fond memories of riding the one in Duncan BC as a kid! The museum (now labelled a "discovery center" for whatever reason) ha sall sorts of old equipment for kids (and adults…

X3D is marketed as a gaming feature and benchmarks bear that out. Productivity workloads (video editing, compiling code, etc) benefit very little from the extra cache. You're bette…

The US is the third largest country by population and disproportionately represented here on hackernews (given it's where ycombinator is based), so it doesn't seem that weird to me…

The use case is niche but there. I ride mountain bikes and off-road motorcycles and have a GoPro on my helmet. A phone is the wrong form factor and a DSLR is too heavy. Same with s…

You're going to need a source for an LLM one-shotting a port of a AAA title from one graphics API to another...

Self-contained != static compilation though. The self-contained binaries still have pretty poor startup time and are large since they contain the whole JIT.

Lots of replies to this comment but a simple answer from my side: compatibility with ASP.NET attribute routing.

Here I am wanting the opposite. I want C# compiled into a static binary like with the GoLang toolchain! Maybe .NET AOT will get there one day..

Likely not. A lot of debuggers don't work under WSL1 either due to missing syscalls. I know some folks love the "purity" of WSL 1 but it's really hard to recommend if you care at a…

I'm a big C# fan but XML docstrings definitely suck. We also got stuck with XML-based project files somehow, despite .NET Core/.NET 5+ being a complete rewrite.

It's not any better on the other OS' either. MS hasn't had a sane native app strategy in a decade and the GTK/QT divide remains on Linux.

I don't understand why people care about Electron? Evaluate the quality of the software based on its own merits IMO. VS Code, Slack, Postman, Obsidian.. I use this software every d…

I just visited this beauty[1] a few weeks ago. Not 400ft tall, but over half that and over 13ft round at the base! We're lucky to have a handful of big Doug Firs, Sitka Spruce, and…

Sure, but that doesn't mean it works that way everywhere or is inevitable. Where I work, a senior would be reprimanded for such behavior. A key metric to their success is how well …

If that's how it functions where you work, I'd be looking for a new job.

Or maybe corporations hate competition. We'll never know!

I don't disagree with you, but technically speaking MacOS is still proprietary and Asahi is not compatible with the latest and greatest Apple devices. While they don't _prevent_ As…

I didn't have a single Apple device in my house until a month ago when I bought a Neo. The last Apple devices I had before that were an iPod Nano and a PowerMac G5 many many years …

The base PS5 does not have better hardware. Though the PS5 Pro outperforms the Steam Machine and is still cheaper than it..

It supports HDMI CEC, it has a built in dedicated radio for the steam controller, it ships with Steam OS, and will receive support from Valve. If you are comfortable building a cus…

I used TenFourFox to extend the usefulness of my PowerMac G5 for many years, though I last used it about a decade ago. I'd imagine running the modern web on a machine that slow wou…

Tokio uses a thread pool with work stealing so it is definitely more advanced than Windows 3.1's model! As other commenters have pointed out, cooperative multitasking is actually a…
