  1. Verify snapshot tests and AI agents: disable the diff tool

    I use Verify for snapshot testing in .NET projects. It is great, but there is one annoying edge case when an AI agent runs the test suite: a snapshot mismatch can make Verify ask DiffEngine to open my configured diff tool and wait for it to close.

  2. Blazor Server: Stream large amount of data to JavaScript with cancellation

    In a recent Blazor Server (.NET 8) project I needed to send a large amount of data to Plotly.js (+ 50 MB of data). Blazor already have support for streaming data from .NET to JavaScript, however, I wanted to also add support for compression of the data that is sent and cancellation of an ongoing stream of data, in case the user changes their mind and wants to view a different set of data, before the current set of data has been sent.
