Microsoft presents new Quantum Chip
Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a quantum chip designed with a "Topological Core" architecture, aimed at enabling powerful quantum computers in the near future.
.NET LINQ vs Java Stream API
In Java, the closest equivalent to .NET's LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is the Stream API introduced in Java 8. Both LINQ in .NET and the Stream API in Java provide a functional approach to handling collections, enabling operations like filtering, mapping, reducing, and sorting in a concise and readable manner. However, there are significant differences in how these two approaches leverage hardware acceleration, which can impact performance.
Check if a String is a Palindrome with LINQ
You can use the power of LINQ to solve problems in just a few lines of code instead of "inventing your own algorithms" - which will lead to much cleaner code. Let's examine for example on how to check for palindromes.
Simplifying Dependency Injection
Dependency Injection (DI) is a cornerstone of modern .NET applications, ensuring loose coupling, testability, and maintainability. However, traditional DI configurations can quickly become verbose and boilerplate-heavy. Developers often find themselves manually registering every service, leading to cluttered Program.cs files and a tedious onboarding experience. Campsis.AutoInject comes to the rescue!
Fluent Builder Pattern in C#
The Fluent Builder pattern is a powerful tool in your C# toolbox. When implemented correctly, it can significantly improve the readability and maintainability of your code.
DeepSeek JailBrake Attack
The Chinese government is famous/notorious for its censorship. The Chinese LLM DeepSeek naturally follows this attitude and does not talk about content that is sensitive for China's leadership, such as Tiananmen Square Massacre, Taiwan or the Cultural Revolution. With some simple JailBrakeing you can get DeepSeek to bypass the censorship.
Understanding Memory<T>
Modern applications often require handling large datasets efficiently without unnecessary data copying. C# introduced Memory<T> as a versatile tool for optimizing memory management. Here we will explore how Memory<T> solves common issues and its advantages over traditional approaches.
Critical: .NET Install links are changing
.NET binaries and installers have moved to a new domain -- builds.dotnet.microsoft.com -- backed by a new Content Delivery Network (CDN). You may need to make changes to adjust.
Aggregating Data with LINQ in .NET9
.NET9 has introduced two new LINQ methods, CountBy and AggregateBy, making data aggregation easier and more efficient without the need for complex intermediate steps like GroupBy.
Inline Lambdas with LINQ in C# 13
Reduce verbosity by simplifying lambda expressions with inline syntax
