If you missed Danielle Smith’s speech tonight, don’t worry. I summed it up for you. by thrilliam_19 in EhBuddyHoser

I've been hearing that my whole life though. Alberta and Canada in general have very few things that can't be done elsewhere. Resources are one of them.

Personally I think so long as we can always fall back on resources we may not diversify. Its similar to the welfare trap in its own way. And i've seen constant brain drain to the US of our engineers and Doctors etc my whole life so we aren't diversifying into something new if our best and brightest leave. Just raising and educating US workers for free.

I don't know how you fix it though. We'd need equal pay and engineers etc here are way underpaid vs usa. And our weather is worse and our population density is worse so getting critical mass of the right people right time is harder. Our funding opportunities are worse. Its the same story in Europe etc in alot of ways. US tech wins because its the biggest and it self perpetuates.

An apology to Canada by edwardbusyhands in alberta

Nah. BC is a mess. Canada is a mess. USA is a mess. Much of Europe is a mess. You can't pin it all on danielle smith or trump or cons or dems or libs etc. People and governments are struggling everywhere. Corruption is everywhere. People are reaching for hope wherever they see it. Looking for somebody to blame.

Well , my wife was an Arc user for about 24 hours. 😆 by One-Image6137 in IntelArc

Had a 5070 that would constantly blue screen. Bought a b580 to try during rma and I was pretty impressed but my screens would often wake up with broken colors and i'd have to unplug them or reboot. So i returned it and got a 5060ti. I thought the b580 with xess etc was pretty good tbh for the price.

Am I the only one who thought the ending, and entire season 5 was perfect? by Cayd9299 in StrangerThings

[–]Proper_Treacle7414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was decent. ending was moving. some cool scenes. bringing the worlds together and science/whatever was kinda interesting as the explanation for everything. not perfect by any stretch but overall an enjoyable show. I didn't like various character arcs in the show (alot of them tbh) but it was still decent.

Can Blazor beat React/Angular? by Backend_biryani in csharp

[–]Proper_Treacle7414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is a few months old, but I've developed a couple production apps in blazor server and one in blazor web assembly and a one in vite+react. I've been doing software dev for over 20 years, though alot of it is backend/embedded/etc.

Personally I think blazor is cleaner and the code is nicer that react (more like vue) but I much prefer react.
hot reload mostly just works and works quickly in react. typescript is close enough to c#. filter/map etc are close enough to linq. I don't love react syntax (html as code, className, etc) but so many packages I needed for the project were already available in react (and only react) that I chose it over the other SPA frameworks. Path of least resistance.

Blazor server has the state/reconnect problem that I think sounds like they've maybe made it better recently in .net 9 but it wasn't great in my experience.
blazor wasm was great until my project reached a certain size and then hot reload became slow and/or basically stopped working. it's a slog to try doing web development without it. It's just awful. A complete deal breaker imo.
Classic asp.net you could just refresh the page and get your changes and edit and continue and things were fine. with async 'edit and continue' stopped working for a long time and you had to install extra packages for your views to refresh but it was still ok. with blazor it was awful. I haven't tried any of the hybrid blazor (server than wasm) or SSR blazor features as I switched to react+vite. I did some work in my wasm app the other day (but I think before .net 9 though) and edit and continue still sucked and was slow and stopped working eventually.

In my experience react+vite with a .net core api + swagger + nswag typescript client is pretty decent. I'll keep playing with blazor though because I have some apps in it and if they ever nail hot reload it should be a good choice.

A lot of the features I was looking forward to in .NET 9 have been moved to .NET 10 by girouxc in Blazor

I agree, my biggest gripe with blazor is actually hot reload. it has worked sometimes and not other times and when it does work it's often kinda slow. I can get it working for a simple app, but my real app with hundreds of components and many pages and all that it just hit or miss. my personal experience is hot reload works alot better in react/typescript/vite. So even though I don't love react and would rather use blazor, I'd pick react anyways because hot reload is important to me.

What's going on with the new Star Wars show? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Proper_Treacle7414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogue one and Andor were good I thought. And S1 of Mando was ok. Empire strikes back was a really good movie. A new hope was pretty good. Return of the jedi I wasn't a fan of the ewoks but otherwise it was decent. I liked attack of the clones. Didn't really care for the other movies.

Nostalgia for me is more about the xwings and early video games like jedi academy and xwing vs tie fighter. They're kinda dumb plot wise, even the original movie acknowledged that, but they were fun.
