@platform.uno worked really hard on these optimizations and you can immediately see and feel the improvements.

UseCurrentRuntimeIdentifier = false, AppendRuntimeIdentifierToOutputPath = false, and AllowSelfContainedWithoutRuntimeIdentifier = true got Me past this.

Experimenting with building an X64 WinUI app on my Mac running Parallels - it was failing until I realized that the self-contained option defaults to the current platform regardless of what the build config specifies, so was getting a conflict. - win-arm64 and x64 must be compatible.

Ouch. Not an insignificant issue!

Well that’s a rabbit hole I’ve now fallen down…

Moving to 7200 ft elevation in Colorado certainly changes how long the snow sticks around - it’s only 1000 feet higher than we were… but the snow lasts for weeks instead of days now.

One “interesting” aspects of working with PDFs is that you’ll always seem to come across a document that breaks assumptions. Such a strange standard.

It depends, when I am in the flow coding something that I have a clear direction on, I like to have music, usually trance/edm, but it needs to be music I am familiar with. If I am learning something new, or dealing with a particularly frustrating issue, then I need silence.

Day-to-day work-wise I use a mix of Windows 11 as a main as the primary app I work on targets WinUI3 and x64, I use a lot of WSL running Ubuntu for compiling C to WASM (it’s just easier to configure what I need), and I use a MacBook to cross-compile the app to target iOS.

So, I just pulled the trigger on an (almost) maxed out M4 Max MacBook. With Parallels, I believe it’s going to do everything I could need with workstation level performance in an incredible laptop package. Stunning how far things have come.

For years I have been running a mix of operating systems - Unix/Linux, Windows, and MacOS - but have always considered Windows my “home” OS for personal use. Since the last generation of gaming consoles I find I am no longer playing games on Windows and have been using my MacBook for “home” stuff.

For my first post, you get about the least technical post ever. This year we decided to embrace our dream of moving away from suburbia and get a house on a piece of land. We love it, even though we get a lot more snow!
