@platform.uno worked really hard on these optimizations and you can immediately see and feel the improvements.

UseCurrentRuntimeIdentifier = false, AppendRuntimeIdentifierToOutputPath = false, and AllowSelfContainedWithoutRuntimeIdentifier = true got
Me past this.

Experimenting with building an X64 WinUI app on my Mac running Parallels - it was failing until I realized that the self-contained option defaults to the current platform regardless of what the build config specifies, so was getting a conflict. - win-arm64 and x64 must be compatible.

Ouch. Not an insignificant issue!

Well that’s a rabbit hole I’ve now fallen down…

Moving to 7200 ft elevation in Colorado certainly changes how long the snow sticks around - it’s only 1000 feet higher than we were… but the snow lasts for weeks instead of days now.

One β€œinteresting” aspects of working with PDFs is that you’ll always seem to come across a document that breaks assumptions. Such a strange standard.

It depends, when I am in the flow coding something that I have a clear direction on, I like to have music, usually trance/edm, but it needs to be music I am familiar with. If I am learning something new, or dealing with a particularly frustrating issue, then I need silence.

Day-to-day work-wise I use a mix of Windows 11 as a main as the primary app I work on targets WinUI3 and x64, I use a lot of WSL running Ubuntu for compiling C to WASM (it’s just easier to configure what I need), and I use a MacBook to cross-compile the app to target iOS.

So, I just pulled the trigger on an (almost) maxed out M4 Max MacBook. With Parallels, I believe it’s going to do everything I could need with workstation level performance in an incredible laptop package. Stunning how far things have come.

For years I have been running a mix of operating systems - Unix/Linux, Windows, and MacOS - but have always considered Windows my β€œhome” OS for personal use. Since the last generation of gaming consoles I find I am no longer playing games on Windows and have been using my MacBook for β€œhome” stuff.

For my first post, you get about the least technical post ever. This year we decided to embrace our dream of moving away from suburbia and get a house on a piece of land. We love it, even though we get a lot more snow!
