Sorry, I'm not too familiar with India; why is Agra such a bad place?

Full-time .NET developer (doing all sorts of freelance jobs; ASP.NET, Xamarin, etc.). I think you'll find that if you look outside the silicon valley bubble, C# and Java are actually dominating the market and you won't get very fa

Fun to see how almost all his questions are answered by other God-tier developers such as David Fowler and Eric Lippert.

SEEKING WORK - Remote only I specialize in C#/.NET. I build web applications with ASP.NET (MVC, ASP.NET Core, Web API), desktop applications with WPF or Universal Apps and I build cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin. Linkedin: htt

I get that, but the point is that I accidentally clicked No because instinctively I thought that was the way to dismiss the bar (in my mind it was something like: do you want to provide feedback yes/no, to which I clicked no). Only aft

Same here, I did the same. Also: for me all MSDN pages became reeeeaaaally slow ever since I installed Ghostery. I just see a blank page for like 5 seconds before I can see the content. More people with this problem?

Not necessarily cloud, but a lot of these patterns have to do with asynchronous distributed systems design (for example leader election, all the queueing patterns, sharding, circuit-breaker). CQRS is part of that (eventual consistency, scal

This article is actually pretty old, I read it months ago. It's not new for Microsoft either, they have/had the Microsoft Patterns & Practices team which develops sample applications, books, websites and libraries to demonstra

Not currently blogging but it's an excellent way to get your name out there. It gives you a lot of credibility when applying to a job or finding clients. It can also help a ton of people. My old blog had around 5000 visitors per month

Can confirm. I've been looking for a remote job in the bay area. Not because I don't want to move there, but because it's virtually impossible to move there because all the companies want you to move on a very short notice an

Yes indeed, right now Xamarin is very very buggy and also pretty slow. I think the software will get MUCH better if the teams at Microsoft will start working on it.

Oh yes, free licenses through Bizspark would be awesome.

Sorry for being an old-ass as well, but wasn't snapchat created to send nudes to other people in a way that they are automatically erased and can't be saved? I don't know if people still use it like that, but do you feel comf

At least this post on HN drove your average CPC down ;)

Fair point. In that sense he may be totally right.

Probably by getting out of the silicon valley bubble. Work for 'normal' companies that are actually trying to make the world better instead of building the millionth useless social media platform. Choose companies that aren't

Are you implying this is science? Because I don't see it being backed by any science.

Correct. The amount of hashing power is correlated with how difficult it is to manipulate the network, but not with the rate at which coins are mined or transactions are processed. I expect this to drop off after the reward halving. It&#x27

Code Complete is very easy to read and good for beginners. SICP on the other hand... I don't think many people actually read that book, it's extremely 'dry'.

To be fair I don't think any of the cheaper knock-off products come anywhere close to the quality that GoPro produces, both in terms of solidness and image quality?

I kinda use it as my resume. I still send my resume to companies, but having it 'out there' makes everyone being able to look it up and come up with opportunities that I wouldn't have gotten if I wasn't visible. Other th

I have 2~3 pages. I write quite a bit about what I did at my last positions and list the most important projects that I worked on and explain briefly what I did for those projects. So far the only comments I have received on my resume are t

Regarding the AI scripting, do you have good resources that provide a gentle introduction to get started with tweaking it? Also, are there any popular modifications that people make to the AI?

Regarding your last point: I really don't like that competitiveness. I don't get the fun in repeating the exact same schedule over and over again just to finish the game as quick as possible. I would rather prefer to build a nice
