It's good to know that this year is the year of the Linux Desktop. Just like last year. And the year before that. And the year before...

When taught rooted in a mystical spiritual tradition, yoga and meditation are enormously important ingredients in quieting the influence of the ego. When taught as productivity or wellness hacks, yeah, you'd get the result that this st

Pick a new-to-you technology you're interested in, do File/New Project... on it, and just build something. Give yourself permission to be a beginner again. Build something that no one else will see, but that you'll regain you

Any app that has developers who think that making an Android version (TAM: 1B+ users) is more important than creating a native Windows version (also 1B+ users), is an app that I will want to run on Windows. I mean, I'd rather have a na

I could say the same thing about any language. For instance: "Python needs to appeal to C# developers and other developers... Python seems easiest for PHP devs to get started, but C# devs..." And, the truth is, no, Python doesn&#x

Yes, but we won't need 100ns precision for those historical dates.

Lightweight, secure, and easily updateable for a variety of core and edge products in Azure.

No, the reason I run Windows is because I actually love using it and developing applications with it, not because I'm not capable of installing another OS.

Well, Microsoft Azure is one huge, global system, the second-largest cloud on Planet Earth, with millions of servers, almost all of which run Windows Server 2019 as the host OS, with even more millions of VM's running on top, millions

I just assumed it was called Vodka because that's what I'd need to deal with anything Lisp-related. :-) I guess they could have called it "OG Kush" too...

I still carry a Swiss Army Knife because of that show. And I still find some reason to use it almost every day.

I've been using Edge Dev on my Surface Laptop 2 for months now... touch support is just as good as it's always been.

Yes. Microsoft has the Quantum Development Kit [1], with its language Q# (written in F#, actually), which comes with a local simulator. They also have the Q# Katas [2] for practice. On my 16GB RAM laptop, I can simulate 29 qubits. [1]: htt

SV == Wall St. West. Same short term thinking, same self-aggrandizement, same convincing yourself of how rational you are, when most actions are driven by emotions, but with more casual clothing.

It's probably because using microsoft.com would force every cookie from that domain to be put onto every REST call they make for sending telemetry, which would be pointless and would waste every user's outgoing bandwidth. An alter

Perhaps you're thinking of Microsoft moving Bing to ASP.NET Core 2.1, with a 34% performance improvement: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/08/20/bing-com-...

It's about fucking time. I personally stay away from software created by people who lack empathy; technical goodness !> creating a good environment and product for actual people. I don't go to restaurants run by douchebags eith

Lots of developers today just assume that microservices = containers, and if you're already in containers, you must need Kubernetes, but, really, Service Fabric is years ahead of Kubernetes in lots of ways. If I were starting a major d

Windows runs on IoT devices, Raspberry Pi's... essentially, there aren't many mainstream hardware platforms Windows can't run on. And .NET Core runs on all of them, too. This is not about Windows technical capability - which

Yes. It has been for over a century. That's why they have editors, ombudsmen, etc.

Yes. Every day. It's a better search engine for developers than Google, not that anyone actually tries it to find out. It's easier to be one of the cool kids who mocks on it.

Now that I'm a PowerShell expert, the idea of dropping down to a *nix shell that only knows how to pass text around is appalling. Like, "the 1970's called, they want their shell back" kind-of appalling. And so what if it

It won't put a dent in mine. I live in Seattle, I'm seeing the effects of economic growth here, and getting to a minimum wage that's inflation-adjusted still makes a ton of sense. From [1]: "Our results show that wages i

They have a HAL for ARM, this is to allow x86 programs to run on top of that HAL. That's what Intel is attacking.

The future of .NET is on both Windows and Linux. Millions of existing .NET developers are happy to continue making .NET code for billions of Windows devices. On PaaS, it still makes a lot of sense to use Windows as the underlying OS. And, y

In .NET Core, there are new TagHelpers that probably do some of the same stuff... not sure exactly of the overlap, but I've used them and they're really nice.

To me, it's about moving in this direction. Apple shows no interest in doing the work in MacOS to go here, and it's puzzling. Microsoft has iterated and iterated on it until it's pretty good. Not perfect, but they've alr

The use case that matters for me is: when I'm using them as laptops. Most of the time, my Windows laptops are connected like desktop machines: external monitors, mouse, keyboard. When I take my devices off the desk and go to a cafe or
