When you finish the final sentence of an essay or a report do you just submit it straight away? You don’t read it through?

I don’t know about the specific question you ask but I’ve found Google OR Tools to be useful in the past: https://developers.google.com/optimization/pack/bin_packing

Blazor WebAssembly ticks the boxes that @treechicken@lemmy.world described.

I have this dream of a single WASM runtime environment across web, desktop, mobile with devs writing apps once, compiling them down to WASM, distributing them over the Internet, and users running them on any platform they like.

You write the app once and it can be compiled to WebAssembly that works across web, desktop, and mobile.

In reality to take full advantage of Blazor you’re probably going to use Blazor Server/hybrid for desktop and mobile but the principle is the same, you’ve only written your app once but it works in every environment.

I think you just described Blazor WebAssembly

You’re completely right. The deeper I get into bash the more absurd it is. Trying to iterate through text delimited by line breaks is ridiculously complex. And the sheer number of options for find and replace style operations is confusing sed, awk, printf, why?!

Oh I don’t think I made it clear enough. I know full well my opinion has no merit. I legit know nothing about Powershell, other than it has a uniquely blue background.

I despise powershell. But I have no actual reason for that opinion. … I’m just familiar with Bash so anything else looks like too much effort.

Is it really unreasonable to gain insight in to how their tooling is used? If it were being used to sell to advertisers I’d agree with you

That’s way too much text. It’s an interesting topic but I can’t imagine anyone is going to read that essay. Can’t it be condensed down to a few simple examples?

C#.

It’s a pleasure to work with, cross platform, superb documentation, great support and a robust ecosystem. The only complaint people ever seem to have is moaning about Microsoft.

What do you like about ligatures? I disable them straight away. To me it just seems to add an unnecessary level of complexity to the experience

Surely the inverse is also true then? People change, leadership changes, goals change so why assume the Microsoft of today is as bad as its past self?

I can agree with the goal but sadly the corporations have already got their claws deep in the tech stack.

Facebook control React. Google has its hands around Chromium, Android, Go, Angular and I’m sure dozens of others. Then of course Microsoft now own npm, GitHub etc. You’re making your life very difficult if you entirely avoid corporate entities.

If we don’t give corporations credit when they do run projects well then there’s no incentive for them to not go full on capitalist greed and destroy them.

Everything is temporary except for people’s opinion on Microsoft.

The company is spending a ton on supporting developers, tools, and open source projects but every time they get mentioned people just hark tired lines of past ill deeds.
