Re: How Much Memory Do You Need to Run 1 Million Concurrent Tasks?

Agreed. Task.Run() actually launches a new thread and then puts the task on that thread...

Can't a Task.Run() be used here?

Great article, thanks for sharing - wonder if this could come in handy in gaming for perf crit cares... like in Godot for physics and such.

Re: Why I won't use .NET Aspire for now

bbqchickenrobot — Sun, 26 May 2024 11:04:04 -0000

Might wanna give it another go as Aspire was in preview at the time the article was written. Secondly, smaller systems are perfect for this - but to test an entire system can you not create a "meta" repo that pulls in submodules w/ all the microservices needed for the test? Then use Aspire to orchestrate all of those? It's something I have done myself. In any case - now that Aspire went GA I'm loving it!!!! Hopefully your experience will better the next time around! Thanks for the article!

For Microsoft DI Decorators there is the Scrutor lib. Just a tip nothing more.

Great story! I can surely relate - except from a different area in dev. Thanks for the share.

Re: So Why Doesn't Microsoft Provide Its Own Blazor Component Library? -- Visual Studio Magazine

bbqchickenrobot — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 04:43:10 -0000

You sound like one of those devs that doesn't like to keep abreast of new technologies. You're praising WebForms and Silverlight (which at the time were great) which are SOOO dang old. Have you not tried aspnet core minimal api's?!? What could be easier? WCF was complicated and clunky - Silverlight was cool, but Blazor does same thing just using a w3c standard aka wasm. What's wrong w/ that? Most people complained MS tried to lock them in w/ stuff like WebForms and SL - now they take the right approach and people still complain.

I'm currently building a Blazor app and not only is it fast and awesome, it's a BREEZE being that it is completely compatible w/ web standards. I also use Lit and Parcel and a Sass compiler in the same project w/o issue. Try it out - you might like it!

If those goes to .Net Core I think you'll see a much much larger adoption......... Right now Unity, Unreal and Godot all can utilize C# on all platforms.

Why no mention of C# as a supported language ?

Re: Using dependency injection in a .Net Core console application

bbqchickenrobot — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 19:10:53 -0000

Just so everyone is aware, the pattern described here is better characterized as Service Location. If you create a wrapper class that instantiates your objects then, yes, it can emulate an asp.net type dependency injection pattern. Great article tough for those who want to provide service location or DI to a console app.

Windows forms? Yuck!

I find it amusing that you're not even on topic. You must be a JS script kiddie..... and even if anyone acknowledges your troll - think about it .... Do mac users use Safari? Really? Do they? Do Linux guys use - oh wait, there is no "Linux" browser.... So what's your damn point?

Re: ASP.NET Core and Docker Environment Variables

bbqchickenrobot — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 16:05:30 -0000

I think the point of this article was to demonstrate how environment variables can be used. How are you not able to use them with Docker?

NLog is so 2005. Hopefully you aren't coding in VB.NET either!? =p

I would assume that HttpClient would work well in this scenario.

Re: Using Blazor to Build a Client-Side Single-Page App with .NET Core

bbqchickenrobot — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 20:17:25 -0000

It's not just blazor that is going this direction. All major languages (C, Go, C#, Java/Kotlin, Swift and Rust to name a few) are going in this direction. Javascript is just not a clean / good language if you judge by the consensus. Hence, CoffeeScript, Dart, Babel, TypeScript, Elm and now Wasm.

I have no interest in learning Javascript properly as that means learning the work arounds and bandaids required to use Javascript "properly". Also, having language options is healthy. Imagine if we took that approach years back with C/C++. There would be no Kotlin, Java, C#, Go, Dart, Elm, Rust, ect, ect....

Options are great and I embrace Wasm and the languages that will support the standard. Maybe Javascript interpreter writers should have it compile down to Wasm as well. That way the JS lovers can still remain semi relevant ;)

Cool. Got mine fixed as well, there was an error on my end during startup which wasn't being logged but used the Kudu tool to run from CLI and thanks to my logging was discovered, thanks for the update!

Re: Updated Step by step: Serilog with ASP.NET Core

bbqchickenrobot — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 21:21:00 -0000

In my scenario, I needed logging before the Startup.cs is called, etc....

Did you ever get this resolved
? Getting a similar error in Azure App Service.

Great article. Curious how this compares to MEF? I'm going to assume it's a lighter weight solution, any other differences you may be able to highlight?
