When voting about the law in the swedish parlament, both the left and green parties voted for chat control despite having campaigned against the law in the EU election.

Both claim it was a misstake, but ironically leaked chat messages seems to indicate that the green party MP Rasmus Ling did vote for it intentionally.

Turns out, fps is not as important for making good games as people thought.


Probably important for competitive games only.

60 fps is great for anything else.


Zelda runs at 30 fps (when it doesn't drop to 20)


Zelda runs much lower than 60 fps, I believe?


Movies have been THE gold standard for quality since the beginning of time... and usually are displayed in 24 fps.

If Inception runs at 24 fps, Zelda does not need to run at 60 fps.


Do not make the mistake of comparing framerates in feature films and video games. Those are perceived by viewers very differently.

In movies, 24 fps (and the 180° shutter) provide just the right amount of the dream like visuals that help the audience get into the story. Movies that tried higher framerates mostly flopped because they end up looking like documentaries. There is also no reasons to increase the framerate to reduce latency.

In video games, technical limitations aside, higher fps is always a good thing. I don't think I ever heard anyone complain that the animation was too smooth or the latency too low.


Comparing the artistic experience and interaction and physical eye movement with movies and videos games is apples and oranges.

I don't interact with a movie. The movie doesn't respond to my inputs. The field of view is different. My expectations of a movie as a fantasy told at 24fps to keep the "movie experience" is different from wanting an immersive simulation.


Movies often become big motion blurry smears when panning. In video games you pan a lot and still want the visual information available.


For Vue 3(at least for the composition api) ts support is very good and handles typing in templates and between components in a way that was a bit lacking in Vue 2.

As for the other ones React seems to be pretty good with TS and obviously Angular is TS only.

As for using templating logic over JSX, that is of course a matter of taste, but i find code becomes much cleaner when there is a clear separation of templates and logic, and with jsx its a bit too easy to blur that line.


The thing i see a lot of people bringing up as the large problem with .Net is naming and branding. I could agree with those sentiments but dont really how those are serious criticisms. Thats like saying i hate Java cause i prefer tea.

Anyway if you hate developing in .Net dont do it but I personally find it a lot more enjoyable than other languages ive worked with.


If the language and framework has been changing isnt it a good idea to inform about these things that used to be true but no longer is.

"never use ms tech for web, or you be vendor locked and ripped off"

How exactly do you mean this, .Net can be run on most platforms. Or could it be that you didnt read the article since you assumed it was propaganda?


The charitable interpretation of the parent post is that the .NET team has lost all credibility, and that one should not trust them to make developer-friendly decisions.

I don't know whether or not that statement is true, but I think this is the point worth discussing.


>but I think this is the point worth discussing.

then somebody has to say some some specific stuff instead of "ms will lock you"


It will, go net, and your grow ms consulting/azure/sql server and at the point of having windows net containers you already paying ms thousands for visual studio premium / azure dev/test subscription/reservations/devoos services and office 365 just because ms told you so.


None of the things you mention are required or in some cases even connected to .net or c#.

Azure - is not required to run .net, and .net is not required to use azure.

Sql server - has no advantage on .net than any other wellknown database.

windows net containers - Not sure what you are talking about here but if you use containers, docker linux containers are the default choice.

visual studio premium - As the article mentions there are many alternatives here. For example Jetbrains Rider or VS Code.

dev/test subscription/reservations/devoos - Maybe you are talking about Azure devops. But this is in no way required by .net.

office 365 - Has no whatsoever connection to .net other than being developed by MS.


I do use .NET on Linux on VPSes in OVH or baremetal with sqlite/mongo/postgres/sql server.

I do use Excel/Word/Outlook etc because companies provide it for me

I do use Visual Studio because I believe it is very good IDE for C# + I know it very well


But what would be their incentive to do so? Normally they launch products and make it exclusive to their devices so more people will buy iPhones, but that is difficult to do with a search engine. Otherwise they would have to get into the ad business like Google.


Apple is a publicly traded company, and every company needs to grow into new markets to make more revenue. And they also maintain their own browser Safari, even though on macOS they could just withdraw from market and leave the field to Chrome and Firefox. Even amongst macOS users Safari usage is very low and doesn't make Apple any money.

On the other hand you can see how Google is using its dominance in Search to push its browser and mobile OS - once you login to Google in Chrome on your phone, suddenly they can track you when you use their mobile Apps etc. And Apple is trying hard to grow in the "Services" field, i.e. through Apple Music and Apple TV - both available to Windows and Android users too. Just as they made a buttload of money with iTunes and the iPod because they also targeted Windows users.


Integration testing as im used to it takes less time to write than unittests since you need to spend less time mocking things (mainly just mock external requests). Of course the initial setup requires more time but there are many readymade examples you can copy from. For example the official documentation.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/test/integratio...


Also with C# and .Net there has been a lot of changes since .Net Core released 2016. Doesn't change that there is a lot of older legacy code so im not entirely sure.


I loved C# as a language. I'm not fond of most companies that use C# though.


Could you elaborate on the second statement? Why is that?


Most companies that use C# and .NET tend to be big old school enterprise orgs where tech is an unrespected cost center.

Java is arguably used in many of the same companies, but also seems much widespread across a more diverse range of different types of companies.


Usually yes.


I dont think ive heard anything similar being sugested in the US or UK. And it should be noted that the employment funds was hardly Palmes issue but something driven through by the unions that have large power with in the Social Democratic party in sweden. It was largely impopular even within the social democratic leadership.

> I dont think ive heard anything similar being sugested in the US or UK.

Both Bernie and Corbyn wants to do something very similar.

> And it should be noted that the employment funds was hardly Palmes issue but something driven through by the unions that have large power with in the Social Democratic party in sweden

But Olof Palme was the one who let it through, normally the Social Democrats doesn't agree with everything the unions wants. He might not have been that radical himself, but he was radical enough to not think it was a bad proposal.


Ok, that might be so, i guess i dont follow US politics as close as i thought.

As for Palme its true that he has a responsibility as a leader even if he wasnt the driving force for the issue from the start. He didnt exactly argue against it publicly.

But i think the hate against Palme was more complex than a single issue and has much more to do with him being a loud and wellspoken voice for the left during the cold war / culture wars of the late 60s - early 70s. Added to that his upperclass background that seemed to annoy the right wing.
