I’d suggest most of you read this as a longer form examination of policies like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Be_an_Antiracist Rather than trying to make tired points in 140 characters.

That’s a glib interpretation. And you’re pushing the same anti- affirmative action viewpoint that has maintained racial inequities.

That falls apart as soon as the author with the locked paragraph leaves the document open while they’re doing something else, preventing others from editing.

Look no further than the rampant white collar crime that goes un-prosecuted in the US. No one is being held accountable for PPP corruption. Of course being anti-racist is emotional. How can you not feel very upset when contemplating the rac

Yes, in WinUI you get build breaks if you have a typo in your property name :) It also adds the ability to bind to functions, which can eliminate a lot of ViewModel boilerplate for computed properties.

The framework layer of WPF is implemented in C#. WinUI is all C++, including the framework and the compositor that makes the DirectX calls. In the framework layer, typical UI updates are faster because the WinUI data binding system uses cod

The minesweeper example from the article is a regular Win32 app. Desktop Win32 apps can call WinRT API’s. https://github.com/robmikh/minesweeper-rs/blob/master/src/ma...

It’s not that different from things like Protocol Buffers, and for application code it’s mostly a hidden implementation detail. The API you’re calling (like the Composition API’s in the Minesweeper example) might be calling into a separate

I appreciate that the UI is fresh. I'm tired of the trend of desktop apps not taking advantage of larger screens and instead just shoe-horning mobile "feed" designs into a floating window. Not convinced that tagging is better

I’m guessing the magic layout things are intentional because SwiftUI is designed to make it easy to have one app feel native on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and AppleTV, which all have their own design language and ergonomics. As long as

What is this if not an event? Button(action: { self.isPlaying.toggle() } They just happen to be handling it entirely within their view component instead of making it a function on some controller/ViewModel/whatever object t

The article is just demonstrating storing application state directly in views. Which you can do in any UI framework and works fine for small apps, but quickly falls over if the state affects multiple views. That’s the whole point of the var

Feature flags are not a panacea for software quality. They actually make your test matrix much larger, as on any given system a different set of flags might be enabled.

You can use UWP controls in Win32 apps now, and still distribute via the Store. Look up XAML Islands. It’s how the new Windows Terminal works. I’d recommend pursuing that route if you’re frustrated by UWP app limitations or performance. Ful
