This! And to make matters worse is the header is removed from the document flow, causing the content to jump up when scrolling down. And if you then scroll up to try to read the content that jumped out of the viewport, the stupid header is injected back into the flow causing the content to jump down again. Sigh.

It never really worked well in Rider, but I really wanted to use it more. Such a great tool to do some (remote) pair programming and perform a shared debugging session.

bouke — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:36:59 +0000

I've read through the agent investigation of Codex on macOS. It looks like the default sandbox is pretty limited, however it doesn't match my experience:

- I asked the agent to change my global git username, Codex asked my permission to execute `git config --global user.name "Botje"` and after I granted permission, it was able to change this global configuration.

- I asked it to list my home directory and it was able to (this time without Codex asking for permission).

I'm curious about what updates will get pushed through that channel. Is it just RTM updates, or will it also include beta updates? It's currently offering 15.7.5 through that channel.

Same with macOS. I'm sticking with Sequoia, but don't know what to do if macOS 27 turns out to be just as ugly as Tahoe.

Same. I have both NL + EN configured languages on my keyboard and I couldn't reproduce it with either NL/EN and EN/NL. In the video you can see they have 4 keyboards configured. It would be helpful to know which keyboard they are using.

AnsaldoBreda did also manufacture the Fyra trains for the short-lived high-speed trains here in The Netherlands. After three trains lost parts in the first month, it was banned from operations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyra

New comment by bouke in ".NET 10"

bouke — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 22:18:49 +0000

See the docs[1] where it mentions that 10 is supported, but not available in the built-in Ubuntu feed. It however is/should become available in the backports feed.

To make matters even more interesting the GitHub / Azure DevOps CI agent image Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't provide .NET 9, whereas 22.04 does[2]. .NET 10 appears to become available in both though[3].

~No it sadly doesn’t, so the double meaning will be lost in translation. If the lock depicted a pussy it would’ve worked though.~

After going over https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seksuele_volkstaal_en_eufemism... it seems that “bever” is apparently also used as euphemism. As is “floppy drive” TIL!

The Dutch translation is NSFW though as it translates “beaver” as suggested.

Why is it that only App Store apps are sandboxed? I would like to sandbox most of the apps I’m running. No app needs a blanket slate to access my files. Sure there’s some of the permissions, but they aren’t granular enough.

It is even worse; they are offering a commercial product under the same name of the open source project it is based on: https://github.com/kevinhermawan/Ollamac?tab=readme-ov-file#... and https://github.com/gregorym/ollamac-pro/issues/1.

New comment by bouke in "Run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs"

bouke — Fri, 30 May 2025 09:32:08 +0000

For comparison, skipping dotnet run and running the compiled program directly:

  time "/Users/bouke/Library/Application Support/dotnet/runfile/hello-world-fc604c4e7d71b490ccde5271268569273873cc7ab51f5ef7dee6fb34372e89a2/bin/debug/hello-world" > /dev/null

  real 0m0.051s
  user 0m0.029s
  sys 0m0.017s

So yeah the overhead of dotnet run is pretty high in this preview version.

That's great; now I can finally have scripts with type-safety. Note that on macOS the shebang either reads `#!/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet run` or `#!/usr/bin/env -S dotnet run`.

Not GP, but can confirm on my M3 Max using the hello world sample:

  $ time dotnet run hello-world.cs > /dev/null
  
  real 0m1.161s
  user 0m0.849s
  sys 0m0.122s

  $ time dotnet run hello-world.cs > /dev/null

  real 0m0.465s  
  user 0m0.401s  
  sys 0m0.065s
