So like ya know... compiling stuff. Came across a library that needs to be built for a web protocol (RTMP), but it hasn't been maintained in a while. The protocol doesn't need updating itself since its technically deprecated (but still widely used), but the library needs to work with a version of OpenSSL that's not old as dirt (as in less than seven years old).
The irony being this protocol is used everywhere! It's streaming video support. But this lib for it hasn't been updated in forever. Guessing most folks that release this in binary form patch it but don't release the patch.
Ok fine, the changes to pre and post OpenSSL 1.1 code aren't that bad, so I was gonna take a crack at it. However, something told me "why not just Google it first". And lo and behold, MS already made a patch and released it as open source under the MIT license.
vcpkg/ports/librtmp at master ยท microsoft/vcpkg ยท GitHub
So like, MS... open source? MIT license!?  That's cool, and it saved me some trouble of doing this myself.

So I've been working on the client for my ad blocker for about six weeks, and I've been learning WinUI 3.
Did you know that there is no native way to control the size of a top-level window? And you can't set a minimum size like in Forms. Yes, the platform is incomplete.
Fortunately, there is a really good project named WinUIEx[^] that provides features that you'd expect to be in the framework. Like sizing windows and controlling the min, max and close buttons.
Overall, it looks like an exciting way to build applications. Today, I'm trying the GridView control in hopes of getting it to display records from the database.
I'd like to put in a good word for Pluralsight, too. Without one of their courses giving me a good visual overview of the platform, I never would have had the courage to tackle it.
What's the last technology that was new to you?
The difficult we do right away...

It's a great site. We even have a CPian or two that's been an instructor there.

I'm also in a project looking for an UI solution. WinUI is not an option as it have to be multiplatform... Avalonia looks promising to me...

Never. In that office, there were strict EHS (must be Envi Health Safety, from what i remember) rules not to eat anything in the office area. No eatables to be consumed in office area. In spite of that, the mouse came.

Half a century ago, a customer of ours rang up to complain that his line printer kept blowing mains fuses at switchon. He'd gone through a box of 10....
Se we send a service guy out to have a look. Took the covers off, one very dead and somewhat charred mouse across the contacts of the power switch.
Long before any of us had a mouse on the desk.

Perhaps if the one who found a dead moth in the circuitry and called it a 'bug', had found a charred mouse instead, we would now have completely different terminology for bug and mouse.

While living at Grand Canyon YES in the Park we lost power one morning
No thunder storms quite the chaotic situation for a bunch of people who
wanted to return to a natural life style we had a lot of tree huggers
APS had a local lineman that lived in the park he was tracing lines
The Fred Harvey company that ran the hotels had a electrician who did things
the old fashion way experience had taught him a lot
He went to the main junction box and found a electrified Marmot streched
between to high power contacts electrocuted
Don't ask me about the water line issue
My friend Bruce Akin lived at Roaring Springs and kept the pumps running
this job has seance been retired. Now they just wait for it to break
and do half a$$ patch jobs. My tax dollars at non work

Our building of 150 people lost all power in the middle of work day.
An anola lizard (common in TX), just a little piece of flesh, shorted the main switch. Amazing.
When we learned the failure was just our shop and since about 1/2 of people were engineers, did not take us long to find and fix it.

SVG was kicking my ass.
So great, I think - I'll incorporate TinyVG support - that's appropriate for embedded right?
It has converters for SVG to TinyVG.
I even notice the canonical SVG tiger head represented among its examples. So I'm thinking "this will work with basic SVG, no problem"
I spent a bunch of time coding the processing for these TinyVG files because the reference implementation is in Zig, which is no good for me.
Finally, I needed to test one, but I wanted to see the TinyVG text format (it mainly has a binary format, but has an equiv text representation which I was going to use to debug)
I grab the canonical tiger head SVG and feed it to the converter tool.
"Unsupported element 'defs'" - which is an element present in almost every SVG i've ever seen.
"Unsupported transform matrix(...)" really? if you don't support transforms, you don't support SVG. All SVGs have transforms in them.
"Unsupported transform translate(...)" again really? see above.
So basically I've implemented support for a dead end technology.
I'm upset that they not only released it on github, but provided a dedicated website, and specifications for it.
Way to waste people's time.
I should have checked first. I should have asked questions.
I submitted an issue on github. I was terse.
