Is there a way to have links automatically open in a new tab? in c/support

[–] geobmx540 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The back going back an extra page feels like a bug that has to get fixed. I usually control+click links to open in a new tab (maybe not exactly what you want, but hopefully helps)

Ghost Taskbar underneath real Taskbar in c/windows11

It was new, but old. I must have burned it in somewhere along the way and never notice. Not sure what changed. Oh well, thanks

I don't think it's burn in, there are apps on that taskbar that I've never used

Do you foresee more hosting providers offering one-click, fully managed, ActivityPub deployments? in c/webdev

[–] geobmx540 1 points 2 years ago

So I figure it should be easy / fast for anyone to turn these on.

The three major cloud providers all have marketplaces where people can "spin up" VMs that others host images of - here is an example of mastodon on Azure from bitnami - https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/bitnami.mastodon?tab=Overview

Ghost Taskbar underneath real Taskbar (lemmy.world)

I can't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of this "ghost" taskbar under the real taskbar. It looks like it has a safari logo on it - and I've never installed safari in my life.

Lenovo machine if that helps.

Edit: apparently it doesn't show up in windows snippets, attached a photo from my phone

I don't fully follow, you mean you can make a new post in a community that references a prior post in some way that is more meaningful? I agree a lot of the back and forth of improvements, particularly in some of the absurd contraptions is quite fun to watch.

Why do you use C#? (self.csharp)

submitted 2 years ago by geobmx540 to c/csharp

2 comments fedilink

Just curious for those who have picked C# as their primary language your reasons?

My core reasons:

It was my first job out of college, it's what I'm most familiar with (as a startup person, moving fast is important)
Huge ecosystem of developers, add-ons, extensions, libraries, etc - many problems are "solved" by others, lots of help, forums, blog posts
Guided by MSFT. I like that the language is guided by a large company (as Rust, React are as well, Java to a lesser extent). It creates a forward momentum and lots of resources to making things better for users of the language
"Relatively" opinionated, you want to do rest API's, there's a clear pattern everyone uses, everyone has the same problems and similar needs - means the frameworks evolve in ways that make it easier for everyone. The new Throttle attribute's for API's a good example of something that lots of people need solutions for and there is now some out of the box support for it.

Learning to Code 79% use "other online resources" (videos, blogs, forums)
C# is number 8 on the list of "Most Popular Technologies" - a number of the technologies ahead of C# aren't mutually exclusive - javascript/typescript with C# backend, sql for data access, etc. I think this suggests C# is pretty popular.
.NET is the most popular framework
#1 IDE Visual Studio Code; #2 Visual Studio

Lotta interesting information here, what are your take aways?

Just curious what resources people use - I generally hit up [https://www.alvinashcraft.com/](Morning Dew) on a daily basis and I feel like it covers a lot. But looking for other good resources. Also looking for any blogs that might do more Indepth coding examples.
