ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Project mention: Why do we need WaitForExit() when working with processes? | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-01-24This might be a dumb question but I can't seem to get my head around it. I am starting a process from a ASP.NET Core controller and it works fine. I can also close the application from the same controller with no issues. What is the benefit of WaitForExit()? Do I not need WaitForExit() if I am closing the process programmatically when the controller endpoint is hit? (yes I am aware I would use WaitForExitAsync() since its asp dot net )

Project mention: hey , would like to know if there are free game making tools and programming guides out there | reddit.com/r/IndieGaming | 2022-01-20
Lastly if you really want to get into programming and get your hands dirty you can use what I use: Monogame Its always free and opensource. Unity and Unreal have different forums of getting money from you once you publish your games (If you do) They are pretty lax tho. Unreal only takes a small % of profits over a certain amount and unity has a subscription fee for extra things, or if you are making over a certain amount.

Project mention: Why does Microsoft allow this on their store? | reddit.com/r/Windows10 | 2022-01-21
I did a bit of research on this. their website (link) is actually just a crappy package installer, similar to Chocolatey without the cmd, or Ninite. So naturally, I tried to actually do stuff on their website. Not only do the requests to download stuff sometimes not exist, but when you get an MSI or EXE to download, it will pop up a message saying the msi protocol was disabled. I attempted this with the 7-zip installer listed on their website. But they also have a paid, pro version of a package installer....that installs OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE.
-

Project mention: [Steam] (Game) Nyheim, Uphill Skiing , Icesolation | reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings | 2022-01-11 -
- Implement a mediator pattern to have loose coupling and inject it through constructor as well. ( example of a library that does this for business application https://github.com/jbogard/MediatR, not sure if it's wise to use this for games, but the idea is solid). CombatManager can publish messages on the mediator, and interested entities can listen to those messages.

It appears there is no view binding for this function... I've been googling around and saw this post https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/10254 , but I can't implement it properly. It fails out with a dictionary exception.
-
This probably won't fit your needs, but ImageSharp is very interesting imo. You can learn a lot of low level and optimization stuff there (SIMD, pointers/memory hackery, etc.).
