I tried posting a link to the TitleBar info on github, but I'm guessing you either have Block Links on for the channel or CZcams shadow deleted. In any event, if you could add stuff like that to the podcast shownotes (if it's handy!), that would be cool. I was hoping it might be here when it wasn't on the audio-only version. Admittedly, it wasn't super hard to find (I think I searched ".NET 9 Preview 7" and went from there), but barriers to entry and all that... Thanks for the info!

More importantly how do I get rid of the annoying banner in VS telling me Xamarin is out of support? I know its out of support, I'm working on a .NET 8 version and need to check the old code ffs. Also the annoying banner telling me to launch an emulator, I will open and close an emulator when I want to, not you. VS2022 is so annoying to work in now.

Apple's behaviour is predatory capitalism, because they can and nobody in the US will stop them. I agree that taking a huge cut of all revenue generated on Apple hardware is repugnant, and life threatening to smaller companies like Patreon, who seem to be a benevolent actor in the world, by enabling creativity to continue outside of huge corporations. I would suggest that everyone stops buying new Apple hardware, though I suspect even fan boys who can see or will discover the malevolent behaviour by Apple, are now too addicted to the cult. Not that Microsoft are much better when given half a chance.

Google just changed the name

I'm working on .NET Aspire Docs updates to "demystify exemplars" - it feels like a magical term.

Clear

Do you guys ever look around when you are in public at the people of all ages completely locked into their phone and think "wow...I dont think I want to contribute to this anymore"? Smart phones have just infiltrated every part of life and it seems like something that just by its nature tends to be all consuming. Couples laugh about how they lay down in bed and then stare at their phones. Even to the point where I think its rare to not see people with their phone up in front of their face while they drive. Not just kids either. Im shocked car accidents havent gone through the roof. Maybe I am just getting older and my views are changing but I am becoming more and more interested in physical things that I can touch and feel like an in-person relationship or growing a garden or fixing up an old car. OR technology that goes along side of my life and makes it better but doesnt define it. Maybe Im just old. :)

I think CZcams is by far the most used app on my apple tv. Good to know there are more of us out there.

I watched a CZcams from a guy that downloaded all of this google data and in addition to his pics and music and stuff it included tons of xml files of stuff he bought on Amazon, eBay and other places. Plus audio from every hey google he ever did. Kinda weird. I’ll see if I can find that again and reference him.

Only recently discovered your podcast but it’s quickly become my favourite. Feels like I’m sitting down with a few friends for a chat every time. Keep it up :)

I always thought the whole "Macs are for 'creatives'" was a little cringy. They were geniuses in marketing that made people want to spend a lot of money to get that feeling of being in the creative club. Plus the hardware has always been pretty good. The whole "it just works" thing bugged me too. Maybe I am an outlier but UNTIL windows 11, I had way fewer issues on Windows than Mac. Something must be done about the file explorer in Windows 11. Its rough.

CZcams is my go-to platform for interviews/podcasts, so thank you! It's really nice to see your faces each week. The added context of facial expression goes a long way

I am here seeing you with my ears...or whatever you said

Finally a good tech interview. Good stuff.

GPT 3 actually is 16k tokens, not 32k? You just said you knew this off the top of your head despite you not knowing? Don't be so foolish into thinking you know more than you do.

You passingly mentioned Jupiter notebooks, which I can wholeheartedly recommend (technically Polyglot notebooks) for creating simple, one off, script-like dotnet applictions. I generally even have one "scratch" notebook active in VSCode for simple C# one liners that I want to run, but I've also created simple applications to, for example, download and rename a bunch of files or make a series of API calls.Highly recommended!

🤣It would be cool to show what you see through the glasses.

Spectre console looks neat! I generate so many tiny iterative reports that I dump to csv so this could help me iterate faster

On the Spotify (at least) versions with the intro music: the Adobe voice filter turns it into some kind of nightmare. Maybe don't apply the voice filter to the parts without vbice.

LOL for the jackets😂😂😂😂

Thanks for responding to the comment, the rant made me laugh ^_^

Respect James for subjective view of tesla experience

Next time, just as a point of comparison, try renting a Tesla. You can put in your route, tell it how much battery you want when you arrive and it will route you to the superchargers you need on the way, works it all out for you. It preheats the battery before you arrive, only charges what you need. You pull up, plug in, charge, unplug and drive off. All money is taken care of by the car's computer, charged to the account automatically. Pretty much all of the hassle you described is removed, and it is how you imagine the experience should be. The Tesla network is opening to other manufacturers now so hopefully it will be more common soon!

Congrats Frank

Thanks for answering my question! Yeah we have quite a few apps to balance. For us, workload is the largest factor. Always shorthanded! :) I am in the kind of group where we do it all...coding, testing, coordinating UAT, documentation and deployment. The updating the code part is easy.

I have 2 ideas for unnecessary skeuomorphic options for sending an email: 1) see your email as a sheet of paper that you then fold into a paper air plane and throw to send 2) (my favorite) create one of those suction tubes like that the bank drive through. Then you put your email under the tube and it goes "fuuump" up into the tube and sent into the ether!

I am concerned that we've lost Frank.

Java now at 1.5 seconds.

you should make a new version of Clippy where you can summon him like a genie and he'll bounce around and answer your questions! haha

Wow, so many new channels (with small subscriber counts) are popping up to review the Vision Pro. And lavish it with praise. Some people might get the wrong idea.

My 1TB AVP [w/Zeiss inserts] will be delivered to my house 02/02. Frank, I’d be delighted to help where I can with your app development. Please let me know. Thanks!

I am getting one as a designer so I’m definitely curious about what can and can’t be built but don’t have enough early adopter friends to talk to.

your channel name got my attention, but it also gives me anxiety, lol

Cool pod, I ordered the Vision Pro and can't wait! I was curious of your thoughts from the lens off app developers. Really looking forward to the opportunity to mult-task, mixing work and hobbies in addition to the entertainment features.

I don’t get why make an App for a headset that is selling less the 200,000 units when the Meta Quest has sold millions of units? It’s not hard to add a VR app to the Quest… I have an app in AppLab that has generated $40,000. And hasn’t even hit the main store front. Then once the Apple headset is mainstream in a couple years just port your app from Quest…

Great video. Could the focus on needing a “killer app” be misguided? Some people love to correct the smartphone record with comments like “Apple didn’t invent the smartphone!” “Technophiles” wax poetic about the existence of various gadgets with the same functionality as the iPhone. The iPhone was “nothing new” they say. All I can do is laugh when I hear comments like that. I can speak for the average consumer when I say “there was NOTHING like the iPhone” being offered by its competition when the iPhone launched. The Blackberry had “cutting edge” tech and security while the Razr offered styling and cool design. The iPhone UI was like nothing else out there, both magical and futuristic. I can’t remember exactly when I stopped wearing a watch, packing a calculator, mp3 player in my bag or thinking about T9 texting, but I did. I stumbled on this video. I am an average tech consumer who loves tech but I have never changed my own laptop battery or installed RAM. The Vision Pro is like the iPhone to me. The introduction of a complete OS with its own way of navigating using the eyes, pinching fingers and voice, being able to seamlessly choose how immersive you want to be, was both magical and futuristic . If Apple can just do what it presented to the world that alone will be enough. No killer app required.

I was planning to buy one. But, all the secrecy and caution from Apple gave me pause. I decided to wait until I can try it in the store.

Good one

Thanks for pods this year.

Hi frank and james, I normally use Reflection when I do CQRS to register all the commands and queries to the DI or when I use Automapper to register them if I have multiple assemblies, ... Its really usefull. Also I´ve used in backend projects where ORM´s are not the best approach to get Data from databases and I use SqlCommand methods to map the result with the Object properties is really fast and light. Out of that I´ve never have to deal with the reflection.

Hello James i'm trying to reach you to know if its possible to build an APP that can read a PDF on the APP itself for free. Can you Help me? Thanks you

Must be tough for you guys to see so low traction here on youtube, but keep them comin, we are a bunch up here north (Canada) listening to your podcast. Love the show!

Really excited y'all have a CZcams channel now but it's so strange putting faces to y'all's voices.

I think HomeAssistant is a superior solution, especially for technically minded people. It's open, you can reuse the work of loads of smart people that have built integrations with lots of devices, and write your own integrations, logic, presentation if you want to.

Funny episode - Has James had a couple of Bodhi's before recording?

What about that force all IoT smart devices implement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_(standard) ?

For Frank's FSharp Core update issue - check if an 'update' tag has been created in the fsproj file, I've been caught by that before.

Totaly agree with .NET 8 LT upgrade... 😂

great episode

talking about sync fusion from the time the fusion been synced in our Sun ))) great job!
