In the first example you deliberately create an ambiguous type, when you already know that it's not. You told the compiler you know more than it does. The second is a delegate, that will be triggered at any point during runtime. How c

There is plenty of precedence for this, and I am about to fudge a bunch of details. The basic point is that the United Kingdom can make any law it sees fit to any place or person. Even though it may only exercise punitive issues once they a

Excuse me, incoming contrarian! learn.microsoft, is for learning about the concepts as well as the practical applications. Also for user facing security, wouldn't you want all the knowledge available to you? Much easier to find the foo

Visual InterDev was the first IDE I ever used outside of notepad. It was bundled in with one Microsofts early webediting tools with office (97/200)....but not FrontPage. I thought I was touching the future, it was so amazing! I really

Recently I came to the conclusion that I needed to change jobs, but I held off because I didn't want to deal with the psychotic ramblings of LinkedIn posters. I'm sure in real life they are all perfectly normal indiviuals but some

If money was short and you weren't worried about the incendiary hangover that would surely come, then a trip to the Wortley Arms (Aka The Dirty Squirtly) in Peterborough was on the cards. Even the smell of their Ayingerbräu (Anger brow

A +1 for this recommenation. I particularly enjoyed this for how the sailor explains his situation, using the mental tools avilable to him at that period of time. I always enjoy the how author goes to great lengths to explicate a period min

I think it's we've only found writing from 5000-6000 because the storage medium is not as durable.

Not having MPs doesn't lead to a dictorship, dial it back. Not having MPs means that we don't have MPs,(hooray) and the opportunity to replace them with something alittle more equitable to the society they exist in, free of the in

That had better be "when I write a third book" Bob, not "if". It's not just the technical content (Which is excellent), but your ability to convey and entertain that helped create such a classic book. So if you do g

That would have been the easiest/best solution here. However...haven't they uncovered a limitation in the filesystem here? The superblock data WAS fine, only the checksum was at fault. They found a away around the issue, wrote up

I've been working with three flutter apps for the past two years (Android and ios), and the improvements in the platform performance have been consistently trending up. One of our apps has 6 video players running at one point, and that

This is a fantastic article, that just keeps going and going, digging into all these ideas and dragging you along for the ride. I'm gonna need a bigger coffee to get through it all. The visual stack machine is a great way to present th

Still reading it, but to the first point about the starting hour. Yo-Yo ma sets up the flashbacks, and the structure of the movie as a fugue. A melody thats played upon and expanded. The first reveal that the writer says 'renders the m

To take your argument to the extreme, why have for loops, when then are syntatic sugar over while loops? I'm generally a fan of syntatic sugar in a language if it's purpose is to simplify what's already there; but it is a bal

A nice follow up on a very dry topic. And a well done, for a very definite improvement in communicating the results of their investigation (Red/black border issues not withstanding ;) )

As a dev in a business environment, I don't care about your project. At all. It's going to be run-of-the-mill business app, storage, front-end, logic. There will be nothing exciting or interesting for me whatsoever. I don't c

I second this. It's a great resource, very well written. Opinionated enough to have character and humour, but not so dry as to make your eyes glaze over. I guess I'm saying that for a technical tome it's very, very readable (

It's a humurous statement about arrogance, in a nutshell : The Doctor is always correct, no matter the context. The Moses 11th Commandment, is a comment on the biblical story of Moses. He was given 10 laws from God, and etched them ont

I used to measure how annoying a REST book or post was going to be by how long it would take the author to use the phrase 'Fielding's dissertation' and followed by the HATEOAS acronym.
