WinForms is still actively developed (although it wasn't always). I prefer XML to manually placing controls in a window and clicking around a designer GUI at all times. XML is trivially editable by hand, WinForms auto-generated C# isn&

Not every open source project needs to be monetized. Projects that were created to "scratch one's itch" tend to fare better than those built to make money. Devs put more love and less stress into them than into things they wa

> Here’s the big lie: in Python, this snippet will almost always raise an Exception. That’s because most users, faced with an input prompt, will press Ctrl+C or enter a non-URL. And even if they enter a URL, it probably has a typo. [cita

Since when can you expect stability with random bullshit generators? They are constantly changed, and they involve a lot of randomness.

DRM is necessary for streaming services which want to carry movies made by the big studios. They love their DRM. If Mozilla refused to implement DRM in Firefox, Netflix would have just said “you need Silverlight, Chrome, or the native Netfl

There is "IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition", completely free forever. It's missing a few features compared to Ultimate, most notably the web development bits.

It's a very butthurt take about Mozilla agreeing to DRM in browsers. I prefer to watch Netflix or other streaming services in my browser, using its native features, not Flash, not Silverlight, not some native app not available for Linu

It is quite easy these days if you define <meta> tags to specify the icon (as opposed to depending on files being in the right places).

IDs don't really solve many problems. The issues with scripts removing all your files were either caused by the absurd bash spaces and quotes rules, or by bash silently ignoring nonexistent variables. Those scripts would still need pat

Bash is useless at JSON now . There's nothing stopping Bash from introducing native JSON parsing.

This app was also rejected from EU alternative app stores (which is illegal BTW), so the only way to get it would be something like the classic AltStore, which requires a real computer, and allows only three apps to be installed, and the ap

This tool is for software engineers, not database engineers. .NET is a Microsoft tool, and one that was tied to Windows for a long time, so most tooling is Windows-only too. What makes Linux uniquely appropriate for database engineering? Wh

This reads very much like a Waymo advertisement. > The once-dreaded long commute is about to come back in a big and pleasant way. I would have no issue at all sitting in a Waymo for 45 minutes each way every day. It’s just a nice time to

The docs don’t make it very obvious how are the environment variables actually applied. And I think .env files are much easier to manage and share. `envelope check` could be replaced with a CURRENT_ENV environment variable in an .env file.

The list seems like a great way to ruin your search experience, honestly. It's blocking things like apple.com, microsoft.com, samsung.com. If you're living a life completely free of their products, they're unlikely to appear

With Windows 8, Microsoft thought that tablets and touchscreens were the future, and Metro was designed for those. Tablets being the future of computing meant they made the new experience the default. Turns out keyboards and mice are still

This might be caused by mid-roll ads. Videos need to be 8 minutes long to qualify for those, and you want people to actually reach the ad.

If you've got Python, you shouldn't be running grep within it, just open the file with Python and search through it in the usual ways. Far less flaky than a subprocess.
