A lot of the Windows 10 UI is built with UWP XAML. Source: I work on it.

IIRC the LAB color space was originally based off of empirical data from studies conducted on actual peoples' perception.

Eh, dealing with people is harder than dealing with code. Code does what it's told, has no emotions, is debuggable, doesn't need motivation, etc.

It's a command line where you don't have to be precise.

XAML was reimplemented in C++ and now renders with DirectComposition instead of Milcore. It's much faster now and far more capable. You can also now use it with both native C++ and C# thanks to WinRT.

WinRT got rebranded to UWP. WPF was XAML v1. Silverlight was XAML v2. UWP has XAML v3. Your skills are still applicable.

Yes. Windows Shell, Xbox, Office, Skype, HoloLens, etc. are all using UWP.

by Aleman360 11y ago
Actually, a lot of what you see in Windows 10 is running on top of UWP.

Why? The Windows kernel has many advantages over Linux.

So does your phone camera if you train yourself to focus on subject and composition.

Yea, unit tests for messy logic and algorithms. Integration tests for complicated scenarios. Extensive dogfooding for the UI.

The US isn't based on majority rule. No one wants that.

Agreed. I want minimal technology at home. I deal with it enough all day at work.

I don't know, right now there's not a single mobile game I'd rather play over Rocket League, Stardew Valley, or Civ V.

by Aleman360 11y ago
Stardew Valley is such a refreshing game. It's the antithesis of freemium mobile crap, and I wish the otherwise talented mobile devs would focus on games like that.

The bridge toll alone going from Seattle to Redmond and back is ~$8\day. The train is only ~$3 to go all the way to the airport.

by Aleman360 11y ago
I wish the train to the east side went across 520 instead of 90. Oh well.

The big iPad Pro is a 13" laptop with a touch screen, it's just that the keyboard is detachable and it doesn't have a trackpad. The ergonomic issues are even worse since iOS doesn't support mouse and the screen angle isn

Not to mention that they had just finished talking about how green their electronics are, then go on to promoting e-waste.

NativeScript is targeting UWP, not Win32/WPF. The UWP API's are way better and C#, C++, and JavaScript are supported out-of-the-box. But if you go the JavaScript route, only HTML is officially supported for UI. You can get native-
