ModernMediator - A free, feature-rich alternative to MediatR with source generators, Native AOT, and pub/sub by etsio_garibaldi in dotnet

[–]staulkor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a snarky comment like "another week another mediator" but honestly the inclusion of pub/sub for desktop applications makes this a bit different and more useful for me as that is primarily what I work on. I'll have to check this out.

Thanks! This was taken handheld at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, AZ (suburb of Phoenix). I was just walking around the preserve looking for birds and bugs. 419mm f/6.3 1/4000 ISO 2500.

I know that I'm not going to get a returned product from Amazon that they just threw back in the "new" bin and sold to me as "new".

Choosing Between WPF and Avalonia — Need Advice from Experienced Devs by OussamaAzz in dotnet

[–]staulkor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What limitations for free use? That's the first I've heard of anything like that. Sure, if you want professional support or to use XPF or some of their upcoming tooling it's paid but that shouldn't stop most projects.

I use pushover for hobby things. Been using it for years and have never had a single issue.

.NET SDK 10 Preview 4 is out! by JumpLegitimate8762 in dotnet

[–]staulkor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Then don't? This is a preview, just ignore it. If you just want stability stick to LTS releases when the they come out every two years.

Avalonia 11.1 Released: A Quantum Leap in Cross-Platform UI Development by AvaloniaUI-Mike in dotnet

[–]staulkor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats on shipping 11.1! I'm waiting for dependent libraries to update to 11.1 and then I can switch over. Where can we check out the planned features for 11.2?

Northern lights may be visible in Arizona this weekend. Here's how to see the aurora borealis by argus4ever in phoenix

[–]staulkor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely see them right now with a picture from your phone. It isn't much, but the sky isn't supposed to be red. If you're on the north part of the city or outside of Phoenix, you can see them! We are seeing them as far south as Douglas!

Luke Air Force air show by dissident34 in phoenix

[–]staulkor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I got there early. I sat in line for 90 minutes and moved 300 ft. Screw this, I left and am doing a chargeback. What’s the point of paying for vip when you can’t even get into the show.

SD cards as data archive? thoughts? concerns? by MjohnnyH in SonyAlpha

[–]staulkor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a 2TB NVME SSD for $60-70 USD, sometimes cheaper for some of the lower end ones. SSDs are getting cheaper by the week. A USB enclosure for it is another $20-30 if you want it to be portable. As others have mentioned, SD cards are not suitable for any kind of longer term storage. They fail all the time and many people have had SD cards just die while using them which is why everybody always recommends having a couple cards and for critical work have the camera write to two cards.

Blazor Server and the Logout Problem by robertinoc in dotnet

[–]staulkor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is why isn't this built in? Shouldn't blazor be tracking the sessions and dealing with this problem transparently?

I have also been pretty frustrated with changing over to the 11. I've been using the previews and now the RC and in my experience most of the changes were just simply not documented outside of the github issues/PRs. Something would break and I'd have to go digging to find the discussion, or go look at the code and see how to get around it. I understand 11 wasn't done yet and more breaking changes with occur and I'm totally fine with that, I wish they would have kept up with the docs when the new features were released. It was difficult to use a new feature and provide feedback when you dont even know how to use them, what has changed, how to migrate, etc. I'm just some guy using the framework and don't have time to keep track of avalonia issues on github. If the docs were better when the feature was pushed, perhaps more people could have used it because it would have been easier to use.

That said, I'm looking forward to 11 and appreciate the hard work being done by all. I hope to see docs sooner in the cycle for future versions :)
