Cool. I see in another response to your post that someone mentions minute load times just to load up the solution file, something which I thankfully have not experienced just yet. Makes me wonder what's accounting for the varied perfor

How many projects do you consider to be a 'great number'? I ask because I do development in VS with solutions that contain around 300 projects and don't experience anything close to what I would consider 'really sludgy&#

It's probably on apple's homepage in the same section for the iOS windows dev tools. Please share the link when you find it.

I did watch the video, and no, I am not 22. I certainly would be more prone to agree that he's trying his best to make a documentary film. Simply 'dropping everything' to work on something doesn't automatically imply you

Are you sure he's trying to be the best he can? To me, it seems like he's just looking for the path of least resistance to participate in the Olympics and it has nothing to do with pushing his limits or excelling at something he c

Completely disingenuous would be more accurate. More hits that way tho, I suppose.

Is this sarcasm? I see no shortage of non-mainstream pop bands achieving more than their fair amount of success. edit: a quick example off hand, The Arcade Fire

I think you misunderstand me. Rails nor Django are on any of the lists contained in the comment to which I replied to. I explicitly acknowledged their existence in the site that this thread is about. edit: The point of mentioning that frame

Excellent. I can assure you that I wasn't including you in the set of people whose prejudice doesn't come from experience.

Seems like that's markup generated by a third party tool their site uses for chat.

Correct, ASP wouldn't make (it onto) those lists in the same way I don't see Rails / Django on those lists, just their parent languages, python and ruby. On the site referenced in this HN submission (bentobox) frameworks and

I've noticed this as well. It's unfortunate, I think, that I still run into a lot of people who carry unfounded negative opinions on c# web development simply because of their personal bias against Microsoft. But c'est la vie

Also disappointed about the lack of ASP . MVC.net - but so it goes, I would hope it wasn't being intentionally ignored out of some personal bias. Either way, the site is still a pretty nice resource even if it fails to recognize some

Is there some reason you're reluctant to reveal the actual price paid?

It's a common thing I see with programmers. I know I've been guilty of it before. I see some poorly coded module and I'm just disgusted of how bad it is and then proceed to say some of the nastiest things about the developer

As far as I can tell Cleveland has the exact same mojo as Detroit. There's only so much you can do, though, and there's only so fast these sort of improvements can happen, especially when you're a city that the butt end of to

You say you found his comment interesting, but at the same time you called him out as being boring? On the note of being self aware. While I would agree that many people would find the content of that comment 'boring'. In the cont

Regarding the conditioning of children to understand dodecaphonic music intuitively, I seem to remember hearing a storyof how Webern would make the claim that in the future children would be whistling his music in the streets. If that is co

Word. I get that. I just thought the question sort of steered away from the main point of the parent comment, which was that if Google did have some sort of nefarious partnership that they would be legally obliged to deny it no matter what.

Have you considered that perhaps he spent his career as ruthless business man as a means to an end? It's hard to make any serious change when you're at the bottom of the totem pole, or even halfway up for that matter.

Personally, I wouldn't have thought to consider him lazy had he not mentioned it, but rather just someone completely disinterested in fashion. /2cents

Of course, and I'm not arguing that explosions have no place in science, but I'm not sure if this answers the question I posed.
