Lets say we've reached this plateau where we can run these moderately limited apps almost everywhere, in a browser. Great! We've been here for some time now though, since HTTP/HTML has always run anywhere a browser could be

Thanks for your unqualified, unevidenced opinion.

You can create your own customized project template. Even the Express version of Visual Studio lets you create project/item templates.

This is a fantastic spare time project. At the very least, it will be a beautiful feather in your cap :)

The difference here is that I don't need a mechanic at all to get what I need from Windows because Windows is not missing many very basic features. Five years ago, if we wanted file creation timestamps in Linux, we'd have to use

There are all sorts of things in Ubuntu that I'd have to "completely disable" in order to make it do what I want. So what if I can pick apart the code and rebuild it? I don't ever want to do that. Honestly - let's w

That's not the definition of the word "comment" at all. Who is the authority on whether commentless code is good or not? Could this possibly be completely subjective? Hmmm. > Oh, I know. It's very easy to add a commen

He really doesn't say "don't comment good code". Reading page 141, he generally recommends that everyone should comment their code for non-trivial programs. Also, "One thing we will _not_ do is make pronouncements a

Inline documentation done right is undeniably a massive time-saver though because you don't need to search a separate document at all. With the right editor, your documentation can also be folded into a single line or be hidden altoget

Yes, just like that. Please show me a case where the setting is not followed because I have no clue what you're talking about nor can I find anybody complaining that it has not worked as advertised. Furthermore, you're also free t

by WayneDB 13y ago
Actually, it's even easier than that in Windows because you don't have to remember some cryptic command or package name - you can just go into search settings and flip the switch to Off.

I certainly don't need to know you or even have a "vendetta" against Apple to have a good laugh at someone complaining about SQL Server pricing when they've happily paid Apple for the privilege of running OS X. I'm

I wonder why Netflix even needs to stream through a web-browser anymore. It's easy to install apps on all major mobile and desktop platforms.

For native front-ends most of that work has been done for me already though. I can't remember the last time I've had to worry about performance profiling or heap management in a native front-end - and we build iOS, Android and W

I love it. Thanks for this.

I'm so happy that I get to do mostly native apps. Building a good UI is hard enough without having to shoe-horn HTML into doing things it was never intended to do.

Feedback: IMAP and POP3 would let everyone continue to use the native apps that they know and love for their UX. The web sucks for apps. It just does. Making robust dedicated native apps for each major platform would be a real differentia

But despite it's gimmicks - Windows 8 is still a massive improvement.

Please, excuse me if I don't believe you in the slightest. I'm sure though, if you tried really hard, you could even attribute your imaginary profits to your use of Macs. I'd love to see some of your hipster logic in detail.

Actually, they do a lot right. That's why 9 out of 10 businesses on the planet use their operating system.

I sent him an email once asking for the same JSLint license that he gave to IBM (you know, the one without the "do not use this for evil" clause.) He responded that he was getting annoyed by everybody asking for this, so it was go

Ummm, okay whatever you say... Enjoy the lame Mac-based "business" infrastructure that you built. Maybe if you'd gone with Windows to begin with, like every other business on the planet - you'd have saved enough money so

No, they "lose" phones in bars though (twice) and do other very sneaky things. Apple is super sneaky. They also do things like making gimped software and drivers for other platforms part of their business plan. I consider this wor

Well, that's your assessment of it. Plenty of small and medium sized businesses have been doing it without any problems for over a decade. Same thing with MSDN subscriptions - you're supposed to buy one sub per developer and many

I only said one third of that. I also said that I don't think you're as restricted with intranet web apps as you are with public web apps, but I could be wrong... Anyway - you can lie if you want to and I certainly won't judg

You said "...because it's not a public website, but a private web app." So, you do not have to license it per core. You can buy the $898 standard version and a few CALs - one for your web app and the rest for db admins. Furth

SQL Server 2012 Express allows up to 10GB databases. Also, you should only need CALs if your private web app is using Windows Authentication to make each database request on a per-user basis. From http://www.mssqltips.com/sq
