  • Project mention: Asynchronous Programming in C# | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-30

    > Just .GetAwaiter().GetResult() it.

    That won’t work with various synchronization contexts, where doing this would cause a deadlock. There’s not much fun in trying to debug such issues.

    And now that various libraries only provide async api, or worse an non-async version wrapping the async one with . GetAwaiter().GetResult(), you’ll be in for a treat updating your dependencies.

    Async all the way is the answer, although various frameworks still don’t offer async hooks. Recently I ran into this for example trying to write an async validator in blazor, but that’s not possible and you have to work around it [1].

    C# 5 introduced async/await almost 12 years ago. And we’re still not “async all the way”.

  • Project mention: The search for easier safe systems programming | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-08

    WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.

    https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554

    That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

  • Project mention: How to Use the Foreign Function API in Java 22 to Call C Libraries | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-08

    Async/await is not a tight corner as showcased by a multitude of languages adopting the pattern: Rust, Python, JavaScript and Swift.

    In fact, it is a clean abstraction where future progress is possible while retaining the convenience of its concurrency syntax and task composition.

    Green threads experiment proved net negative in terms of benefit but its the follow-up work on modernizing the implementation detail was very successful: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/94620 / https://github.com/dotnet/runtimelab/blob/feature/async2-exp...

    It also seems that common practices in Java indicate that properties are not a mistake as showcased by popularity of Lombok and dozens of other libraries to generate builders and property-like methods (or, worse, Java developers having to write them by hand).

  • OpenRA

  • Project mention: The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

    Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

  • Polly

    Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner. From version 6.0.1, Polly targets .NET Standard 1.1 and 2.0+.

  • Project mention: The Retry Pattern and Retry Storm Anti-pattern | dev.to | 2024-01-15

    In our applications, we should wrap all requests to remote services in code that implements a retry policy that follows one of the strategies I listed earlier. If you are a .NET developer like myself, you may be familiar with the Polly library. Golang has a library called Retry, and there are numerous third-party libraries for Python and Java.
