an exciting release incorporated with plenty of library updates, a new WASM mode, more source generators, constant performance improvements, and NativeAOT support on iOS. We hope you enjoy these new features and improvements. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey of making .NET better, together! 

This repo contains the samples that demonstrate the API usage patterns and popular features for the Windows Presenation Foundation in the .NET Framework for Desktop. These samples were initially hosted on MSDN, and we are gradually moving all the interesting WPF samples over to GitHub.All the samples have been retargeted to .NET 4.5.2.

ChatGPT is bullshit

Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs. We distinguish two ways in which the models can be said to be bullshitters, and argue that they clearly meet at least one of these definitions. We further argue that describing AI misrepresentations as bullshit is both a more useful and more accurate way of predicting and discussing the behaviour of these systems.

Bootstrap has become the world’s favorite framework for building responsive web-projects. With the Bootstrap 4 Beta release just around the corner, it is time to take a more detailed look at what the project has to offer, what has changed and what one can expect when migrating over from Bootstrap 3.  

Grial UI Kit provides XAML templates, custom controls, helpers and resources that accelerate the creation of Xamarin.Forms apps. We make it dead simple for .NET developers to build beautiful cross-platform apps, fast.

"Going forward, we do not plan to evolve Visual Basic as a language," the .NET team said. "This supports language stability and maintains compatibility between the .NET Core and .NET Framework versions of Visual Basic. Future features of .NET Core that require language changes may not be supported in Visual Basic. Due to differences in the platform, there will be some differences between Visual Basic on .NET Framework and .NET Core."  

For decades, passwords have been the common backbone (headache) of authentication and are well known to lack in security while being frustrating and difficult to use. As we continue to see daily data breaches, the reality of moving away from weak static credentials and killing the password is upon us. Join this session to learn how FIDO2 and WebAuthn open authentication standards, in conjunction with YubiKeys, are solving the elimination of passwords at scale. Hear how organizations like Microsoft have implemented these standards for a true passwordless experience and find out how your organization can follow suit. You'll gain a greater understanding of how to achieve a modern and flexible security architecture through the use of FIDO open standards and hardware authenticators. 

This is a practical guide for implementing Domain Driven Design (DDD). While the implementation details are based on the ABP Framework infrastructure, the basic concepts, principles and models can be applied to any solution, even if it is not a .NET solution.  

C# 7 is a major update with a lot of interesting new capabilities. And while there are plenty of articles on what you can do with it, there aren't quite as many on what you should do with it. Using the principles found in the .NET Framework Design Guidelines, we're going to take a first pass at laying down strategies for getting the most from these new features. 

The Kubernetes project plans to deprecate Docker Engine support in the kubelet and support for dockershim will be removed in a future release, probably late next year.
