Sunset from my balcony this evening

Before you spend $59 on that iPhone strap, consider giving the same amount to the World Central Kitchen. They help feed people in a humanitarian crisis around the world. Many thanks for considering my request. https://wck.org/

New in MSBuild Structured Log Viewer: project reference graph: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MSBuildStructuredLog/wiki/Graph Also adds an ability to view directed graphs in .dot format, as I have found the layered visual representation to be quite useful. #dotnet #msbuild #graph #viewer

Heya! 🎇 Just released AsmMos6502 - a new .NET library with a fluent assembler API and a full disassembler for the 6502! 🚀 👉 https://github.com/xoofx/AsmMos6502 Can’t wait to tinker with it and write code for the upcoming modern C64! 😎 Maybe it’s finally time to make my first C64 demo - better […]

Seeing usually smart folks getting rope-a-doped into arguing for LLM utility like there's a moral justice zero-sum trolley-problem slider between "useful" and "ethical" and we're just arguing about the best setting But the real problem is even dumber -is its mere use a climate disaster? Yes […]

“I started a spreadsheet, which is what middle-class professionals do when faced with systemic problems — we quantify things, as if converting human suffering into Excel cells might render it more manageable.” Via @gvwilson […]

Time to buy a book! Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5zyq0250wo

New release of MSBuild Structured Log Viewer. New dark theme which should be much faster (don't laugh). Turns out the old dark theme we used (AdonisUI) messed with the tree view virtualization, so we saw significant slowdowns in tree layout.

Heya, I just released https://github.com/xoofx/AsmArm64 🎉 The most powerful and complete ARM64 Assembler and Disassembler API library for .NET (ok, it is missing SVE/SVE2 but will do that later 😅) The assembler API is particularly unique with a strongly typed API that can encode […]

I just sent my resignation letter today at Unity. Unfortunately I won't see the completion (or not) of the migration of Unity from Mono to CoreCLR that I first prototyped almost 8 years ago. I'm still proud of the work accomplished, Burst initially and then the .NET tech group that I have […]

Wait, can you no longer buy a 24" 4K monitor? I've been using two Dell P2415Q since 2017 and I can no longer find these anywhere. The only thing I'm seeing is professional grade for >$1,100. Two 27" is too large for me. One monitor is not enough. With curved monitors window management sucks.

Nice, there is now a #linqpad version for #macos Thanks to @avaloniaui and #avloniaxpf! https://www.linqpad.net/LINQPad8Mac.aspx #dotnet

Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered. The […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Thanks to @maxkatz6 we now have signed and notarized Avalonia builds for MSBuild Structured Log Viewer for Mac: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MSBuildStructuredLog/discussions/847 Powered by @avaloniaui #msbuild #binlog #dotnet

Germany-based #sovereingtechfund contributes 384.000 EUR to #openstreetmap over two years. And the best part: it's not for fancy features big sponsors think they need, but for technical debt removal, documentation, testing infrastructure, vandalism prevention, and two additional paid roles […]

The incredible #markdig library by @xoofx#markdigis criminally under-starred. Go star ⭐️ it now, and tell your friends too! #dotnet https://github.com/xoofx/markdig

If anyone wants samples of how to read MSBuild binlogs programmatically, the binlogtool project contains a bunch. Here's an example of dumping all properties and their values from a binlog: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MSBuildStructuredLog/blob/main/src/BinlogTool/ListProperties.cs […]

https://source.dot.net now has the Roslyn source code as well, so the legacy https://sourceroslyn.io is no longer required. Somehow I missed that! #dotnet #roslyn

I'm playing with the new Ultra profiler by @xoofx and I'm blown away. It's incredible. It's insanely powerful, and showing me managed, native, JIT, GC, allocations, everything. It feels like I have a new superpower. If you're a .NET developer, you owe it to yourself to check this out […]

OK this is going to be really unpopular with folks, but Reactive-style stuff like OnNext(), TPL DataFlow etc. are EVIL EVIL EVIL It all looks beautiful until someone somewhere forgets to call OnNext() or OnComplete() and then you're SCREWED because good luck finding why your system deadlocked

I've realised I should support Open Source projects and services I use regularly. I've set up recurring monthly sponsorships via GitHub. So far for: - #PiHole - @Mastodon - @nivenly (who run this server) - @xunit - @martincostello.bsky.social#piholeas the face behind the brilliant Polly library - […]

Announcement: Visual Studio 17.12 ships with a completely new NuGet dependency resolution algorithm. It may result in new warnings or errors and it's on by default. You can opt-out if your build is broken, or you can fix the issues. Read more here […]

Need trick in .NET 9 with the new [OverloadResolutionPriority] attribute: 🧵

Bluesky getting a ton of new people. I'm also there at https://bsky.app/profile/kirillosenkov.bsky.social I think I'll primarily be staying here but I'll also try to post there as well and we'll see how it evolves.

If you maintain a large (legacy) .NET codebase, and have to deal with app.configs, binding redirects, NuGet package updates, version conflicts, etc. I'm getting a ton of mileage out of these tools: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/MetadataTools/blob/main/README.md #dotnet

If anyone needs to bulk generate GlobalSuppressions.cs from Roslyn analyzers (on a potentially huge solution), I wrote a sample here: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/CodeCleanupTools/blob/e6aa2eda6bdfc2f359a2254168fac73f9971e158/CodeFixer/Program.cs#L144-L233 VS itself doesn't do a reliable […]

@waescher I used Fusion++ again today and it was super helpful again :)

Just ran into the weirdest C# oddity, but apparently this is not only not a bug, but documented and specced behavior: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-messages/cs0507#example-2 #dotnet #csharp #roslyn

The Diplomat Season 2 is out on Netflix! I loved and savored every minute of the first season. Psyched for the second season. I also discovered The Newsroom for myself and it's been delightful so far. Tried The West Wing too and it was okay but I didn't get into it after a couple of episodes.

Any recommendations for a curved monitor good for development on a MacBook?
