> Just .GetAwaiter().GetResult() it.
That won’t work with various synchronization contexts, where doing this would cause a deadlock. There’s not much fun in trying to debug such issues.
And now that various libraries only provide async api, or worse an non-async version wrapping the async one with . GetAwaiter().GetResult(), you’ll be in for a treat updating your dependencies.
Async all the way is the answer, although various frameworks still don’t offer async hooks. Recently I ran into this for example trying to write an async validator in blazor, but that’s not possible and you have to work around it [1].
C# 5 introduced async/await almost 12 years ago. And we’re still not “async all the way”.

Project mention: Microsoft's $1M Vote of Confidence in Rust's Future | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-12When .NET (that is, what became CoreCLR runtime flavour) became open-sourced, it was done in such a way as not to cause issues for existing Mono, Xamarin and Unity code, and allow cleanly merging the first two into overarching .NET ecosystem.
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/PATENTS.TXT
Given that MSFT never sued anyone for .NET or .NET-related matters, so far their reputation is clean in that area, unlike certain Java-related company.
Project mention: From a Day to 17 Minutes: How We’ve Dealt with Slow Build Times | dev.to | 2024-03-08The last step for each platform's build process is to upload the app to our GitHub releases repository. We automated this step from the beginning, but when we started creating builds for the new M1 chip Macs, we had to add a manual step. This involved merging files needed for the auto-updater to work with the M1 builds.
Project mention: This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-18I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:
https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.
WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.
https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554
That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

Project mention: Ask HN: Any way to write a simple desktop app anymore? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22Windows Forms[0] is still alive and will never die, and very low overhead to start with, and works on new and shiny .NET 8.
If Linux or macOS, you can use AvaloniaUI[1] instead which is sufficiently advanced but assumes some prior knowledge.

>Hypnotix, the TV viewer application
How does that app legal btw? Last time I checked the majority of the streams were pirated. I know the app itself is open soruce but it's still sharing copyrighted content. https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV/tree/master/playlists
Tried https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme ?
I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey
