this looks awesome. shame tech like this doesn’t work on RaspberryPIs, how cool would that be?

I’ve been waiting a long time for something like Velaptor in the dotnet ecosystem. can’t wait to try it out, you might have a winner here - thanks again!

I’ve researched a bit and your approach definitely has merit; I’m probably just out of the loop. if I may, though, I think rather than a setting you could expose an object’s pivot point? UI elements could have their pivot moved to (0, 0) so positioning would feel more natural. my 2c of course!

I finally emulated my childhood Last night I decided to dedicate some time to my old [z80 emulator](https://sklivvz.com/posts/z80). I've squashed a few bugs and ported it to .NET 10. Then I added a ULA emulator.

Last night I finally emulated my childhood: Z80 + ULA + MonoGame = a working ZX Spectrum, built from scratch in .NET 10.

I wrote about what the machine meant to me, and about five games that shaped how I think about software design without me realising it at the time.

Velaptor looks great! Finally something code-first instead of the usual IDE-first development experience. I wonder though why are coordinates calculated from the center of the objects instead of top left?

Velaptor 2D Game Development Framework

The secret to a smooth 2D game?

Proper asset management. 🖼️

In Velaptor, loading textures is as easy as:
1. Initialize ContentManager
2. Load your asset
3. Unload when done

Simple. Safe. Fast. 🦖

Patterns of Distributed Systems in C# and .NET: A New Series for People Who Ship Real Systems - Chris Woody Woodruff | Fractional Architect Distributed systems do not fail because you missed a feature. They fail because responsibility is unclear. Two nodes act, both think they are right, and your data becomes a debate. This series is my pushback against cargo cult architecture. We are going to talk about the small, repeatable techniques that stop outages, not the buzzwords

log, transactional outbox, circuit breaker, version vectors, and more. Each post focuses on one pattern with production ready code. By Chris Woodruff

5 Minimal API myths and the real truth

Think Minimal APIs are messy, hard to test, or only for small apps? This post shows clean structure, auth, validation, and OpenAPI patterns that scale in .NET 10.

A 2 headed dragon fighting with lightning versus a knight magic user . Thanks for your support have a great day

Elden Ring - Dragonlord Placidusax ⚡

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons."

"Very well, my liege," the knight said. "Um. May I ask why?"

"Because they hoard wealth without sharing, and people live in fear of their capricious moods."

"Very well, my liege," the knight said and drew his sword.

A google search for "best time to plant tomatoes" with an AI slop bullshit summary at the top of the results

A google search for "fucking best time to plant tomatoes," this time without the AI slop at the top

Stealing shamelessly from tumblr user flootzavut because this is absolute genius: avoid getting AI slop at the top of your google search by adding "fucking" into your query

solid advice!

looks lovely!

Get well soon.

I think it’s a de facto standard nowadays, I’d say it’s fine. I for one am going down that path as well.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

F# is a great language and it keeps improving over time. this feature (and many others, tbh) is something I’d often use in C#. it makes for so much cleaner code.

Hey #dotnet folks - one of the things we're looking forward to in the 9.0.200 release is support for the new SLNX solution file format introduced in Visual Studio in preview form. You can get access to a preview of 9.0.200 and try it out yourself here: github.com/dotnet/core/...

Just how does a grain process a message? Deep dive into Orleans message queuing, processing, scheduling, interleaving, concurrency, and single-threaded execution model.

This kind of “behind the scenes” content about Orleans is awesome, great post. Keep ‘em coming!

two logs side by side, diverging midway

one of the best debugging techniques of all time is to log everything relevant and deterministic, and diff the two logs

I recently managed to spot the reason a test was slower across versions exactly like this. Pure luck, but I gotta say it’s absolutely helpful, 10/10 will do it again in the future

It really can't be stated enough how the AI craze is rooted deeply in utter vitriolic disrespect for the working class. Like I've seen multiple cases of this tech being marketed directly on sticking it to us filthy poors who want things like "benefits" and "fair pay for our labor"

I’ll do that, thank you!
