2021-10-28 13:09:49 Redis vs Memcached with "simple words".

Summary: memcached is better in case you need REALLY highperformant specific caching solution + easier to install. In other cases (almost always) Redis is better general approach between these two.

But other then that the article describes some interesing inside details and has many references on more theoretically correct materials.

2021-09-06 20:51:04 Very good article with clear samples about usages of SPF, DKIM, DMARC records with their proc/cons in simple language.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are complementary systems. SPF and DKIM are used by email servers as indicators of whether or not an email is spam. DMARC then does two things: it tells email servers how important SPF and DKIM are, and what to do when an email fails to pass their tests.

This probably doesn't make much sense yet - that's fine. Let's dig a little deeper.

2021-01-28 11:54:34 Added small article for the .NET developers who use NLog(for example) and want to use Telegram as a logging target right from the configuration without changing the compiled code.

2021-01-14 11:20:00 Nice git sandbox resource: you type the commands, it shows the visualized process that really helps to understand what is really going during execution. Can be used to faststart git for beginners.
The project also has github repository, so you can add your tips there too, to help others.

2021-01-13 14:02:08 Hanselman returns back with his "top tools of the year" blog post series :) No, seriously: some tools are really good and some were newcomers for me. The list is not "just for Windows/.NET developers"

2020-11-13 12:35:59 .NET 5 was just released with the C# 9.0. There are many performance improvements along with unification of the .NET Core's versioning. The suffixed word "Core" was removed and now it's .NET 5. The "legacy" major framework is left at version 4.8 for now and features are freezed, there will be only security updates to it.
What's new in .NET 5
About performance improvements with benchmarks.
C# 9.0 adds the following features and enhancements to the C# language:
• Records
• Init only setters
• Top-level statements
• Pattern matching enhancements
• Native sized integers
• Function pointers
• Suppress emitting localsinit flag
• Target-typed new expressions
• Static anonymous functions
• Target-typed conditional expressions
• Covariant return types
• Extension GetEnumerator support for foreach loops
• Lambda discard parameters
• Attributes on local functions
• Module initializers
• New features for partial methods
About C# 9.
You can experiment with .NET 5 for now, but it's .NET 6 that will become a long-term-support version.
New version of .NET will become available every year since now in November (N=.NET probably :) ).
- Web Forms are dead: replaced with Blazor/Razor Pages.
- The WCF is also dead, they suggest to replace it with gRPC.

2020-10-01 16:17:49 Valuable tool from GitHub:
Code scanning, which is a developer-first, GitHub-native approach to easily find security vulnerabilities before they reach production. We’re thrilled to announce the general availability of code scanning.
Code scanning helps you prevent security issues in code.
Exciting results so far!
• Since introducing the beta in May, we’ve seen tremendous adoption within the community:
We’ve scanned over 12,000 repositories 1.4 million times, and found more than 20,000 security issues including remote code execution (RCE), SQL injection, and cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
• Developers and maintainers fixed 72% of reported security errors identified in their pull requests before merging in the last 30 days. We’re proud to see this impact, given industry data shows that less than 30% of all flaws are fixed one month after discovery.
• We’ve had 132 community contributions to CodeQL’s open sourced query set.
• We’ve partnered with more than a dozen open source and commercial security vendors to allow developers to run CodeQL and industry leading solutions for SAST, container scanning, and infrastructure as code validation side-by-side in GitHub’s native code scanning experience.

2020-04-14 19:50:31 Just an important news about source control services. Probably now GitHub (Microsoft) just kills their opponents


Hi HN, I'm the CEO of GitHub. Everyone at GitHub is really excited about this announcement, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

We've wanted to make this change for the last 18 months, but needed our Enterprise business to be big enough to subsidize the free use of GitHub by the rest of the world. I'm happy to say that it's grown dramatically in the last year, and so we're able to make GitHub free for teams that don't need Enterprise features.

We also retained our Team pricing plan for people who need email support (and a couple of other features like code owners).

In general we think that every developer on earth should be able to use GitHub for their work, and so it is great to remove price as a barrier.
