I think this is an important point. The first priority needs to be to make it easy and obvious to do the right thing. Trying to make rules to forbid doing something insecure isn't helpful at all. If I need to do something and the only

While I think this looks really cool, there are people who think domes are not the way to go. Part of the reasoning kind of makes sense. https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/11/28/domes-are-very... Either

"The "1 month of battery life" is such bullshit" Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and call BS on that too. Here's the info about standby time you can find for iPhone6:" "Up to 16 days (384 hours)" I&

"If you think about it, Android's problems with open source allowing manufacturers to have their own flavours of Android..." One is not really dependent on the other. You could use open source and not allow modifications or y

Yeah, that could explain it. Sort of like how you rarely see Java client applications...

"I know it is cross platform, but the focus of the eco-system in very much on Windows." There's a funny thing about its cross-platform nature: You almost never see C# apps on other platforms. Why is that? There must be thousa

If I'm not mistaking, ARMv7 supports PAE, which will allow you over 4 GB of memory. Perhaps not all in the same process, but still...

"What I find issue with is that people will completely dislike a solution for the brand alone. I've seen this for years when I've suggested/supported Mono in Linux." To be fair, Mono never delivered on its promise

I don't think anyone is arguing that if Microsoft blinked out of existence, no one would be inconvenienced. What a lot of people ARE saying is that "if not Microsoft, someone else." If Microsoft never bought the software tha

Of course you can. But is it always an equal share of bad code for each language? If not, then you have to admit that the language itself will encourage or discourage bad code or bad coders.

Come on, you have to give me something to argue with. I can't just sit here agreeing with people. :) Yes, Visual Studio outside the MS sphere is not the greatest. C++, C#, VB.Net, F# - fine. Does anyone use it for anything else?

Then again, most programmers today aren't C programmers. And developing in Java/C# really makes a good IDE mandatory. The point is valid, even if you have a point in what you write too.

"I want to be that go-to person, that expert, that guy who Gets Shit Done." I have a few bad experiences with "the guy who gets things done". There's an old saying that the last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time. If you stop after the f

I agree with what you wrote mostly. What dropbox could do to mess up and give Google a chance to do something much better is this: don't give people more free space when the average user struggles with the 2GB limit. One of the things tha

I am aware of that :) When developing OS it might make sense to have two machines. (unless you can run in a VM, which I think many could) But, not everyone at MS works with windows, which is why I was a little surprised about the statement
