I would vote for a president that ran a campaign _only_ based on quirky punishments for those who use history.pushState() They should have to open a door repeatedly, only to have someone push them back when they try to walk through for a fe

Bloomberg was probably the most effective mayor in modern NYC history, and spearheaded the creation of Silicon Alley as well as modern LIC, Williamsburg, and Dumbo. He's a lot more than the "soda ban guy" here.

"The country lost 947,345 people – more than the population of San Francisco – between 2010 and 2015." For a country with a ton of Government debt and a society dominated by small number of big companies that's a bad thing.

There's not enough overlap for MS to want to buy Xamarin to shut it down. This is them putting their money where their mouth is vis-a-vie .NET expansion plans. Hopefully they'll keep Monodevelop under development, if they don&#x27

This is giant news for the .NET ecosystem. It means that MS is serious about their push into Mobile and Linux, and that .NET developers aren't going to have to work with Xamarin's ever-so-slightly-behind libraries anymore. It also

A language isn't useful, to me, unless there's an Excel format reader/writer and a popular web framework with SO answers. Novel is not useful when you work in Enterprise software.

Calling nonpayment of fines "debt" is disingenuous to the point of propaganda.
