Real-world gRPC with ASP.NET - YouTube
In this video series we'll learn about using gRPC with ASP.NET.

I uploaded the first two videos in the Real-world gRPC with ASP.NET series: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I'm planning to record more videos about further topics, such as contract management, interceptors, documentation generation, and more. #aspnet #grpc #dotnet

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

I've been getting familiar with Kotlin in the past days, and so far I'm enjoying the experience, the syntax is compact and friendly, and the getting started guide is really good.
Some of the syntax seems to be even closer to C#, especially with the C# primary constructors.
