Our NuGet total downloads reached 2M!

We have finally reached 2 million downloads across all our NuGet packages, which consist of both the current and the past libraries that have been downloaded over the lifetime of our NuGet feed existence that started on August 2019. Thanks to everyone who have tried out our packages and used them in their applications!

This is a minor milestone, but we are aiming for major ones, such as 5 million downloads across all packages. To celebrate this milestone, we’re introducing brand new versions of libraries. This is to add new features and to improve existing ones.

Nitrocid 0.1.3 is going to have a major arrangement overhaul when it comes to the API, so we’re going to mark this by increasing the API version to v4.0 from v3.1 as it’s a huge breaking change. This will make sure that the Nitrocid application acts like a “launcher” for the core Nitrocid kernel, which, in turn, depends on the base kernel library. This is vaguely similar to how v0.0.20 was developed.

Textify will be updated to improve the RTL reverse performance by getting rid of the libicu library in favor of the more efficient method after this experiment proves successful. As always, we are aiming to change how we make experiments to make sure that they don’t hinder the final production code, but, sometimes, we’d release a version that includes such experiments to gather feedback.

We are going to try reducing the distribution size of Terminaux starting from v7.0, and Beta 3 will include this improvement to ensure that we reduce the download size, especially for future Nitrocid versions. We have already updated Terminaux 6.1.x to include this improvement, and docs have been already updated to reflect this change.

Finally, we are going to introduce some subtle changes to the CI system across all projects, as well as some more build system improvements that we’ve promised, to improve build times and to increase reliability. This applies to developers only.

Enjoy!

I have officially more COBOL than VB.net in my repos ^^"

Hello! I'm over here from 🐤where I was @csteachian. That account is now locked and pretty much abandoned.

Lifelong programmer. #basic #pascal #delphi #vbnet #python #java #php #sql #html #css
Secondary and FE educator of 20+ years. #compsci

I like to solve problems.

I'm grateful for pass by reference and pass by value being different things in VB .Net on top of strings being specified as reference types in the documentation so you can know whether you should move the data itself around or pass a reference to it. Makes understanding #Rust easier.

Хабр, GPT, корпоративные блоги и БМЛы: оцениваем глубины ужаса

Я не испытываю ненависти ни к корпоративным блогам, как таковым, ни к большим языковым моделям в целом. А вот к мусорному контенту, созданному левой пяткой ради ссылок на сайт или телеграм-канал - испытываю, и еще как. И как раз вот тут встретились два одиночества - ленивые копирайтеры мусоропроизводители и генеративные сети. Получилась, как вы понимаете, вовсе не конфетка. Долго работая с LLM и GPT, неизбежно начинаешь замечать характерные паттерны, обороты, формулировки, характерные для генеративного контента. Наткнувшись на очередную очевидно генеративную статью и убедившись, что из таких статей у компании состоит весь блог, я решила исследовать это дело подробнее и желательно - автоматически. За подробностями, результатами, ужасом и даже кодом на VB.NET приглашаю под кат!

Today I learned about the Caller Information Attributes in .NET.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/attributes/caller-information

These attributes make it easy to get information about a caller at runtime. For example, getting the name of the calling member, or the specific expression that was passed as an argument.

`CallerArgumentExpressionAttribute` is especially interesting. More details are available in the draft feature spec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-10.0/caller-argument-expression
