Third party controls are simply not there yet. (Performant datagrids, comboboxes with complex layout etc)

>And maybe by .NET 9

If I take look on roadmaps and apply developer velocity of MAUI, WinForms and WPF it will take many more versions.

"NATO did not have the backing of the United Nations Security Council to use force in Yugoslavia. Further, NATO did not claim that an armed attack occurred against another state. However, its advocates contend that NATO actions were consistent with the United Nations Charter because the UN Charter prohibits unprovoked attacks only by individual states. The principal legal issue remains, however, since NATO as such is not a member state of the UN, whether the member states of NATO, the United States and the European powers that sent armed forces to attack as part of the NATO bombing campaign, violated the UN Charter by attacking a fellow UN member state: (1) in the absence of UN Security Council authorization, and (2) in the absence of an attack or a threat of imminent attack on them. "

Probably somewhere in Beijing and Moscow on the same day when bombing started, they were opening bottle of champagne because they got "excuse" to do same later when they need it.

Breaking every possible international law and bombing train full of people seems like great solution.

I think that even one single human loss is disaster and hate to go along this road but please inform yourself more on "evidence" of those claims and heavy exaggeration of victim numbers.

NATO.

Why is that problem?

Nobody in my country wanted to be bombed by NATO and it still happened.

WPF is the best desktop GUI framework for enterprise applications. WPF and Prism with third party contols are still unmatched in terms of productivity. Even good old Delphi or VB6 are not coming close.

Are you maybe hiring? I have been reading you posts last couple years on HN.

I am doing something very similar with .NET stack (single file deployments), SQLite and offline scenario...

Please contact me on my username's email (gmail).

For us it is really not problem.

We mention in our job descriptions clearly .NET 4.8 and still get 100s of applications. In the meantime we are working on upgrade to the new .NET but it will take at least couple years.

>visualization tool development

This for for sure not. They do not have capable multi-platform UI.

It is nice project for CV. I would hire you immediately.

Much harder problem is getting rest of the eco system working on something else than mainframe.

I prefer my European 35 days off (must use 25 yearly, can collect up to 100) + 12 official holidays.

>quiet wireless mouse and keyboard

Which models did you buy? I am looking over 2 months now with unlimited budget and have no luck.

Keyboard:

* standard US layout

* should be really quiet for my night sessions

* available in EU

Mouse:

* big size

* standard 3 buttons and wheel

* quiet clicking and scrolling

I have currently Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard (still working but worn out) and Logitech M330 (too small).

PRESCHOOL2 (~5-6): Hubelino set SCHOOL1 (~7-10): Nintendo switch or Masters of Universe action figures (not from recent Netflix but original one)

.NET ecosystem is very healthy. There is as always occasionally some drama (Identity Server, ImageSharp etc). In general for most of tasks there is almost always good library.

I see much more abandonware for Python and Java.

Sure. Backwards compatibility on Windows is unmatched on other platforms.

>but they have revamped C# libs/platform so many times I have lost count.

What exactly do you mean? There was big migration towards .NET Core but full .NET will be supported forever. They even listened customers regarding WCF and helped a lot with CoreWCF.

It has exact same cost as Java.

Since 2016 .NET is running on Linux.

Probably .NET and he is not wrong. ;)

I have been working on 2 mil. LOC C# written by more than 100 developers over 15 years and it is really good experience.

More similar culture and laws.

- It is annoying to have it per table and not database - No alter table (to convert existing tables) - No backward support (maybe through connection string or something)

It does not really help in our scenario. I really hope that this feature will evolve more in next versions.

It did not work for me on three separate networks and two devices. New reddit was shown.

I had been working in Austria for last 15 years. From Europe I had to work with companies from Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia, Greece. Not even one single bad experience!

From my three bad experiences two are from Germany and with both we lost a lot of money and time on lawyers.

I had a dream maybe 20 years ago.

Each couple years I have same dream extended for another couple minutes. It starts as recap of previous time and then it continues.

It is not nightmare neither some trauma and I know it will happen again.

Serbia, Bosnia

Exactly this. My current project is on full .NET Framework 4.8. It is on the latest possible version of ASP MVC, Entity Framework and all typical 3rd party libraries(of which 90% is supported on .NET 5). In the last two years we created several POCs for migration to .NET 5. Our current best estimate is 7 years for 80% of our development team. No sane manager will ever approve that crazy effort with almost no benefits for end users. Additionally we are talking here about most typical CRUD application without almost any advanced engineering. Our onboarding is taking at most 2 days and people can start be very productive even in first couple days. I can only imagine nightmares with more complex systems.

- In general very bad service all around ("Kunde droht mit Auftrag" mentality)

- A lot of weird and bizarre people on the streets (talking with themselves, bad hygiene etc.)

- Not much respect for old people and pregnant women in public transport (young people will block only elevator, most of the time nobody will offer you seat etc.)

Still there are many more other things which make living in Vienna quite good experience.

Thank you for the clarification. For me personally it would be useful to have following feature:

- show the list of all stories that were on the homepage any time during that day.

Maybe there is a way to do that even now but I did not found it.
