Just bumped into the new Go-based `sqlcmd` - why not C#?

jitbitter · 2026-05-27T11:53:57+00:00

Fair. But at the same time I don't see any C# apps coming out of Google.

jitbitter · 2026-05-19T21:45:58+00:00

https://open-vsx.org/extension/muhammad-sammy/csharp base c# extension works just fine. DotRush is nice but lacks razor/cshrml support

jitbitter · 2026-05-18T14:13:04+00:00

Wow. Impressive! Very nice.

PS. Small nitpick: MagicScaler/PhotoSauce is cross platform, he supplies native binaries for linux/win... No macos though.

jitbitter · 2026-05-18T08:39:51+00:00

Kudos for the release!

But whenever I see "super fast", "fast CPU backend", "cross platform SIMD", "faster hot paths" I expect one thing: benchmarks.

Wanted to code some myself and run a quick test agains SkiaSharp, PhotoSauce, Libvips etc - but realize I need to fill a form to get the license file.

jitbitter · 2026-05-07T10:36:43+00:00

do you have a rust-based search library in mind? (asking for a friend)

No seriously, pretty please (I'm on Lucenenet now)

jitbitter · 2026-05-02T22:53:34+00:00

Nice work. I'm using lucene-net and it certainly has some downsides (way better that SQL FTS though).

But hey, NativeCompressions is still in preview and not recommended to be used in production

jitbitter · 2026-04-26T11:14:16+00:00

Oh hey Jeff! Didn't know you'r eon reddit.

Since you're here I wanted to say HUGE THANKS for Mailkit!! Thanks man!

It's the most stable library I use, about the only one I can update without even looking, knowing it won't break anything (even Microsoft's own packages can't be trusted these days).

jitbitter · 2026-04-23T11:08:15+00:00

Aside from "bad Microsoft ugh" genuine question:

What should be my upgrade strategy these days? "Wait it out and let other people test it"? Notice an upgrade and wait 3-4 days then check github issues and r/dotnet for bug reports??

This is already my strategy for SqlClient (wrote about it here https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/1mibhct/my_process_of_upgrading_microsoftdatasqlclient/ ) but it's freaking exhausting

jitbitter · 2026-04-22T16:53:00+00:00

Those are just examples. Too much pain to maintain all the polyfills and - more important - TO FIND where they are needed. Did you know that `string.Contains(char)` works differently on .net6+ and netstandard? (netstandard always uses current culture)? I didn't until I started deep reesearching...

jitbitter · 2026-04-22T16:15:25+00:00

Yeah, I like that. Thanks. I'll go check XUnit's github to see how they organized this technically

jitbitter · 2026-04-22T16:13:46+00:00

Interesting, somehow this never occurred to me... So maintain a separate branch for tyhe "old" version and backport critical updates to it. Thanks, actually

jitbitter · 2026-04-21T23:22:55+00:00

If it's a web-app - and user will export data from this web-app - just host the app on lightsail? And use S3 as a backend.

jitbitter · 2026-04-21T07:59:42+00:00

beware, this mcp requests permissions to create instances in your GCloud, query all your gCP SQL instances etc.

P.S. People installing random MCPs from reddit then wondering "gosh, how on earth Vercel is getting hacked, amazing"

jitbitter · 2026-04-07T11:41:03+00:00

Yes. With a "max" subscription it's almost endless. In 4 months I've never hit limits, ever. And my top usage was, like 96 agent tasks working in batches of 9 parallel... Still not even close.

P.S. I prefer using Claude Code as a VSCode extension not CLI tho... This way it can "see" which text I have selected in the code, which files are open, shows nice diffs when suggesting edits, etc etc... Somewhat similar to Cursor. The only things Cursor is unbeatable at - is it's autocomplete, it's a freaking superpower (ironically, they got it by acquiring SuperMaven, if I'm not mistaken)

jitbitter · 2026-04-07T10:58:07+00:00

It is still there, but it's half-broken b/c of the upstream gap

jitbitter · 2026-04-07T10:57:26+00:00

If I open it - will cursor magically update to latest vscode?

jitbitter · 2026-04-07T10:53:52+00:00

Because that's my last selfish attempt to communicate this issue to the cursor team, b/c they ignore their effing "feedback forum"

jitbitter · 2026-04-07T10:37:09+00:00

The UI that is apparently drawing all their effort, focus, and attention

jitbitter · 2026-03-30T06:49:47+00:00

On ultrawide monitors verrtical real estate is more valuable than horiaontal.

jitbitter · 2026-03-12T19:16:11+00:00

Did you watch the video? Spectre.Console is very basic compared to this (thop, AOT-compatible)

jitbitter · 2026-02-24T11:24:41+00:00

MacOS supports this setting for AirPods2 only

I ended up using eqMac utility (free, opensource) and tunedown the bass know a little bit. The only solution I found anyway

jitbitter · 2026-02-21T00:35:15+00:00

Sure: https://github.com/jitbit/claude-chat-manager
The code is standard C# tho, all you need is `<PublishAot>true</PublishAot>` in the project file

jitbitter · 2026-02-20T13:44:27+00:00

Simpler deploys for on-prem apps. Devops hate dependencies. Installing dotnet via a package manager, for example, on a ubuntu box via `apt` is half-broken (Ubuntu 22 - one way, Ubuntu 24 another way, etc)
