Too bad commenters are as bad as reading articles as LLMs are at handling complex scenarios. And are equally as confident with their comments.

This is a pretty level headed, calculated, approach DARPA is taking (as expected from DARPA).

Doesn’t appear to show any charts on Chrome for mobile…

Seems to be a responsiveness issue, because it goes away in landscape mode, and the charts show.

They work great when you have many teams working alongside each other within the same product.

It helps immensely with having consistent quality, structure, shared code, review practices, CI/CD…etc

The downside is that you essentially need an entire platform engineering team just to set up and maintain the monorepo, tooling, custom scripts, custom workflows…etc that support all the additional needs a monorepo and it’s users have. Something that would never be a problem on a single repository like the list of pull requests maybe something that needs custom processes and workflows for in a monorepo due to the volume of changes.

(Ofc small mono repos don’t require you to have a full team doing maintenance and platform engineering. But often you’ll still find yourself dedicating an entire FTE worth of time towards it)

It’s similar to microservices in that monorepo is a solution to scaling an organizational problem, not a solution to scaling a technology problem. It will create new problems that you have to solve that you would not have had to solve before. And that solution requires additional work to be effective and ergonomic. If those ergonomic and consistency issues aren’t being solved then it will just devolve over time into a mess.

Because your conservative funded news outlets have a very overt goal here.

I mean… Every serious operating system already has some form of keyring feature right?

Not necessarily. There are many paths to exfiltrated data that don’t require privileged access, and can be exploited through vulnerabilities in other applications.

Yeah, and electron already has a secureStorage API that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn’t using, and a PR already exists to enable…

Never not UTC Everywhere.

The ecosystem is really it, C# as a language isn’t the best, objectively Typescript is a much more developer friendly and globally type safe (at design time) language. It’s far more versatile than C# in that regard, to the point where there is almost no comparison.

But holy hell the .Net ecosystem is light-years ahead, it’s so incredibly consistent across major versions, is extremely high quality, has consistent and well considered design advancements, and is absolutely bloody fast. Tie that in with first party frameworks that cover most of all major needs, and it all works together so smoothly, at least for web dev.

Holy shit that’s completely wrong.

It’s for sure AI generated articles. Time to block softonic.

This is a weird take given that the majority of projects relevant to this article are massive projects with hundreds or thousands of developers working on them, over time periods that can measure in decades.

Pretending those don’t exist and imagining fantasy scenarios where all large projects are made up of small modular pieces (while conveniently making no mention to all of the new problems this raises in practice).

Replace functions replace files and rewrite modules, that’s expected and healthy for any project. This article is referring to the tendency for programmers to believe that an entire project should be scrapped and rewritten from scratch. Which seems to have nothing to do with your comment…?

This thread is a great example to why despite sharing knowledge we continually fail to write software effectively.

The person you’re arguing with just doesn’t get it. They have their own reality.

I have a weird knack for reverse engineering, and reverse engineering stuff I’ve written 7-10 years ago is even easier!

I tend to be able to find w/e snippet I’m looking for fast enough that I can’t be assed to do it right yet 😆

That’s one of the selling points, yep

To be fair Microsoft has been working on Garnet for something like 4+ years and have already adopted it internally to reduce infrastructure costs.

Which has been their MO for the last few years. Improve .Net baseline performance, build high performance tools on top of it, dog food them, and then release them under open source licenses.

Great timing that Microsoft just released a drop-in replacement that’s in order of magnitude faster: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

Written in C# too, so it’s incredibly easy to extend and write performant functions for.

It needs to be a bit more deployable though but they only just opened the repo, so I’ll wait.

The designers as seen by designers is so right.

Nothing they come up with can be wrong, it’s all innovative!!

.Net 8 will work on Linux just fine. But winforms will not, it’s specifically a legacy windows-only UI framework.

You’re going to have to jump through some incredible hoops to get it to work on Linux. Which are definitely not part of your normal curriculum.

C# on non-Windows is not impossible, but it’s going to require effort infeasible for school projects like that one.

You mean winforms (The windows specific UI) on non-Windows? Otherwise this is incredibly misleading, and plain wrong.

C# in non windows is the norm, the default even, these days. I build, compile, and run, my C# applications in linux , and have been for the last 5+ years.

I go full chaos and look up where I last used it when I need a snippet…
