I'm on the final stretch of adding COLRv1 and SVG support to @sixlabors.com Fonts.
It's taken me a whole month of evenings to build out what I need.
Trust me when I say that this stuff requires a lot of thought and attention to detail to get right. 😵💫

Both rendered from different tables in the same font.
@sixlabors.com Fonts v3 will support both!

Finally took these guitars out of storage and put them up. It’s been years since I’ve played them (hence busted strings) but I fully intend to be shredding again properly by the end of the year.

They've targeted #dotnet #oss developers many times now for attempting to monetize years of effort while failing to see the irony that they themselves use advertising in their videos and justify it by saying videos take effort.

@benaadams.me I just updated VS which came with the 9.0.200 SDK and now I'm seeing more of the same.
It looks like some sort of overload resolution change in MemoryMarshal.Cast interpreting the array as a ReadOnlySpan

It's so odd. There's only a single version of the method with no overloads. I can build the code and call it from tests with no issue.
However, when I try to do it in BMDN...
I wonder if there's a bug in the preview SDK?

Get the fuck outta here MsBuild.
error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.ReadOnlySpan' to 'System.Span'
The code in the image is correct and works but for some reason MSBuild with BenchmarkDotnet will not build it with #dotnet 8

I'm updating a site from #dotnet 6 to 8 and this is the only breaking change I've encountered. Not bad at all given the complexity of the site.

Look at this rubbish, it can tell me the package is vulnerable and transitive but cannot tell me what non-transititve package is causing the issue.
There's a Patches O' Houlihan quote that would suit it well. #dotnet
