wow do i dislike coding interviews. been coding c# for 25 years. some asks me to “call a method that accepts a func” while watching me , and suddenly my brain is like “how do i even use a keyboard”

Anyone else want world/region/country maps delivered via nuget? github.com/Papyrine/Map...

does anyone know anybody at GitHub/microsoft that can help with a stuck Sponsors profile?

i built a little blazor web assembly app to showcase my map conversion library papyrine.github.io/GeoConvert/

in a world of supply chain attacks it worries me to see microsoft releasing a nuget (with 5M dowloads a day) and there are no release notes, not tag on the repo, and no milestone www.nuget.org/packages/Mic...

Iconify icons deployed though nuget github.com/Papyrine/Ico... #dotnet

any custom keyboard fans out there? This is a cool tool caniusevia.com

Why had no one started a class action against Microsoft for their failure to respect requireLicenseAcceptance in nuget? Companies offering commercial software on nuget should have a legitimate case #dotnet

License Enforcement Changes and a New Subscription Tier sixlabors.com/posts/licenc...

@james-jackson-south.me just hit the the license file enforcement. IMO it is the right way to go. but wondering, as an existing paying customer, should we get an automated email with "here is your license file"?

Ok, I'm in: if you build a plugin for JetBrains IDEs, I can review your Gradle build script. I'll verify if caching works, introduce all those good practices, and even migrate it out of Groovy. Drop me your GitHub repo, and I'll pick it up next week on the live stream! On me!

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries.

This looks like a nice clean solution to a wart on .NET's localization functionality - using Fody to set a default ErrorMessageResourceType and ErrorMessageResourceName (based on the attribute type). github.com/mrpmorris/Au... Seems crazy that this is necessary though - am I missing something?!
