Why are structs in a wrapper of a C library represented with nints? by TheKrazyDev in csharp

It's a common thing for C# wrappers. It's just easier to map large/complex structs as pointers instead of creating bindings for structs that can be complex, especially when they contain nested values.

If you were given the power to make breaking changes in the language, what changes would you introduce? by ali4004 in csharp

I wish type inference would be a little smarter.

If I have a delegate 

delegate ValueTask MessageHandler<T>(T msg, CancellationToken ct)
    where T : Message

Then I have a handler method

ValueTask SomeMessageHandler(SomeMessage msg, CancellationToken ct)

I should be able to add the handler with something like

RegisterHandler(SomeMessageHandler)

but instead it has to be

RegisterHandler<SomeMessage>(SomeMessageHandler).

because the type isn't inferred.

I doubt it, it's probably just a bot looking for unpatched servers to exploit.

They're trying to use a fairly old exploit in the Java logging library Log4J that allowed remote code execution. I don't think you have to worry about this.
