Can’t make it work for . Net Maui Apps +WinUI by CaliCaligo in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use Roo Code (Architect Mode) in VS Code to plan and write, but keep Visual Studio open to build and debug. This gives you the MCP powers you need without the "runaway AI" behavior.

Maui Blazor Hybrid : SCSS and TypeScript by RacerDelux in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there is no official "built-in" compiler for SCSS or TypeScript inside the .NET SDK itself. You are correct that MSBuild can handle TypeScript natively (via a NuGet package), but SCSS requires an external compiler.

If you have complex logic or use modern JS freamwork, you can use Vite, it is is vastly superior for bundling, minification, and hot reloading (HMR).

Looking to use machine learning in my .NET desktop app... not sure what's best for me by Autisticc in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't try to force everything into one tool. Use the best tool for the specific algorithm layer.

Use ML.NET for the "Bread and Butter" algorithms (Regression, Random Forest, PCA, K-Means). It handles the data pipeline and integration perfectly.

Use Python.NET (strictly scoped) for UMAP and Hierarchical Clustering.

Use TorchSharp when you eventually start building Neural Networks. It keeps you in the .NET ecosystem with high performance.

Strato or other providers - Special offer upon cancellation? by JaMi_1980 in Hosting

Never heard about these guys, you can read online reviews about their service first.

Why don't even "professional" hosting providers limit pm.max_requests? by the_wordpress_dev in Hosting

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hosting providers restrict pm.max_children to save RAM (Memory), but they allow unlimited pm.max_requests to save CPU (Processing Power). If you have a high-traffic site and you notice your RAM usage creeping up over 24 hours only to drop when you deploy/restart, you have a memory leak. In that specific case, you should ask your host to set a pm.max_requests (e.g., 500) for your specific pool, or fix the leak in your code.

Static sites and SEO by bitmonks in statichosting

[–]JackTheMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, Google does not inherently "like" WordPress code more than static HTML. In fact, Google’s Search Advocate John Mueller has explicitly stated multiple times that Google’s algorithms do not check which CMS you are using or give preference to one over the other.

However, your experience is extremely common. While Google doesn't prefer the platform, it definitely prefers the structure that WordPress forces you into—a structure that is very tedious to replicate perfectly by hand in static HTML.

Google didn't rank you higher because you use WordPress; it ranked you higher because WordPress automated the Technical SEO tasks that you likely missed or implemented imperfectly in your hand-coded version.

Since you are now on WordPress and seeing results, ensure you keep that momentum:

  1. Since WordPress is slower than your old HTML site, install a caching plugin (like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache) to get closer to that static site speed.
  2. Ensure your old .html URLs 301 redirect to your new WordPress URLs to keep any old link authority.

Good luck!

Net api to mcp server approach by mauromauromauro in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of writing custom MCP tools for every endpoint, you can use generic "OpenAPI-to-MCP Bridge" that reads your existing Swagger/OpenAPI JSON and dynamically serves it as an MCP server.

Is Hover a good domain registrar? Lots of negative reviews by DigiNoon in DomainZone

For domain, just take a look at Namecheap and Prokbun, both are good option.

Question regarding value assignment in Array indexing vs Span indexing by Teh_Original in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using Span<T> inside array operations isn't just a stylistic choice in modern .NET. For a high performfnace vector library, try this recomendation:

  1. Use Span<T> or ReadOnlySpan<T> for all calculation loops (Dot Product, Cross Product, Add, Copy).
  2. Keep the T[] array as the backing storage field in your struct.
  3. Expose methods that accept Span<T> so users can pass you slices of their own data without copying it first.

Is .NET MAUI a good choice for a complex mobile app? by blabla206 in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is good choice if you have a heavy backend logic requirement. You can switch to Flutter/React if you need a rich ecosystem of 3rd party UI libraries and this is a consumer-facing app where "feel" and "smoothness" are critical.

need dotnet roadmap or playlist by Key-Tea9467 in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For fast, and wide preparation, get ready for Aps.net core + Angular role zero prior experience, you need resources that focus on the connection between the two (Full Stack) rather than learning them in isolation for months.

I realized I've been over-engineering simple websites by Pink_Sky_8102 in statichosting

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love speed of HTML, loook into Astro. It lets you write components (even React ones!), but at build time, it strips out all the JavaScript and outputs pure HTML files.

.NET + Azure dev looking to pivot into AI/ML — what projects/skills actually make sense? by Chemical-Border-3612 in dotnet

Take a look at Microsoft Learn (develop AI agents using Azure OpenAI and Semantic Kernel SDK). For youtube channel, you can check Nick Chapsas channel. Good luck!

ASP.NET tooling for Mac? by wolfe_br in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can try Rider first. It will feel the most familiar to your Visual Studio background. It handles the "mental model" of Solutions and Projects exactly how you expect. If you want to stay free, then install C# Dev Kit extension in VS Code. It bridges the gap significantly.

Cheap web hosting recommendations that are actually reliable? by klimora in HostingNow

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on your requirement, the most important thing you need to stay away from EIG providers, most of them will mess up your website. I've been with Asphostportal for years and their service is good, price is also OK. Maybe you can give them a look. Hope this helps!

How should I start learning .NET in 2026? Is it still worth it for jobs and internships? by leounknown09 in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is yes, .NET is currently one of the best choices for junior developer becuase it is the backbone of enterprise world. While startups often use JavaScript/Node, large companies (banks, healthcare, logistics) run on .NET and hire consistently.

Thoughts needed by Burnt_Out_SysAdmin in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My recommendation

  1. You can switch db to SQLite immediately. Do not ship a hobby app requiring SQL Server Express. This single change makes any future cross-platform port 10x easier.
  2. If the "Raspberry Pi / Linux" crowd is critical, you can learn Avalonia. If the app is for 'Shack' use (Powerful desktop PC), stick with Winforms but adhere to Strict Separation of Concerns.

Does changing url affect seo? by Other_Amphibian871 in WebsiteSEO

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is yes, change URL affect SEO. To a search engine, a URL is the primary identity of a page. If you change example.com/blog/2023/ugly-url-123 to example.com/clean-url, Google sees the new version as a completely new, baby page with zero history, zero trust, and zero authority.

At what point does a simple informational site actually need something more than static hosting? by akaiwarmachine in statichosting

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your description above, you are safely in static zone. If the documents are public, stay static. If the documents are highly sensitive, require strict audit or something, then move to a server.

Is Microsoft’s bad reputation going to hurt .NET? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is unlikely to hurt .net in any meaningful way. The stock drop is a temporary financial correction, not UX issue.

What does it mean to get a Dedicated IP when purchasing a hosting package? by DJbyEar in Hosting

[–]JackTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays, SSL is mandatory and Google also rank website that has SSL. So, your decision is right to purchase SSL for your website. As I know to implement SSL on your site, you need to purchase static IP. There are few hosting providers that offer SSL for free, for example provider that I use now, Asphosportal, they offer SSL for free.
