I really like the look of Material but not all the animations.

Unfortunately I do not have any close friends or family who know much about computers at all however there are a lot of good people over on some of the subreddits that are always happy to help out. The C and C++ subreddits are particularly

I met up with somebody from the startup world last year for a coffee to chat about things as I wanted to get some advice from somebody with a lot of experience as a developer. It was a total waste of time though pretty much because of what

I am amazed it is the end of 2014 and Google (and Microsoft) still have not figured out messaging yet. iMessage is far from perfect but it is a hell of a lot nicer experience than anything else. This is even more true for Microsoft IMHO as

Running your own server is great until something goes wrong and nothing works. It is just too much hassle to run your own mail server these days IMHO. Being blacklisted for spam is a nightmare to sort out and can happen so easily when you s

I hit this back in August when I moved and had to wait 2 weeks for my new line to be installed correctly[0]. I didn't care enough to find out why, I always use a VPN when using WiFi and to be fair to BT they recommend the use of a VPN

I am sure you meant well but it is totally off topic and adds nothing to this discussion. It sounds like a terrible thing to happen but this is not the place to discuss it.

Something I am very interest in is this bit "you’ll find some new things in here, including a new Visual Studio Emulator for Android and support for building Android applications using C++ based off of Clang and LLVM ." Does th

It does. It is essentially VS Pro but with a change to the license to disallow use in the enterprise. There are no built in restrictions though so it is possible to make anything you want with it but doing so in the enterprise would be ag

From what I have seen this is essentially Visual Studio Professional with a license restriction for enterprise use. There is, at least was not in the previews I have worked with, no actual limitation built into the software, it is purely a

Yes because name calling on the internet is the height of maturity.

True. This is the "new Microsoft" EmExEx meaning.

Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box. They are all the same when it comes to your privacy to be honest. I wouldn't "trust" any of them with very private things. I use them for convenience of stuff I want easy access to/s

Indeed. Embrace. Integrate Office with it. Extend. Buy DropBox. Extinguish. Merge DropBox with OneDrive. Wow didn't expect this comment to bring on the downvotes.

I recently moved away from Gmail because of the lack of push (via EAS) on non-Android devices. When Apple (iCloud) and MS (Outlook.com) offer push via EAS it annoys me Google killed it off unless you pay. Interestingly moving away from Gmai

I don't see why Microsoft still put resources into Visual Basic. C++/C#/F#/MSSQL/PowerShell is all they really need to concentrate on.

I just got an iPhone and the built in Podcast app is pretty good. I have subscribed to a couple of the most popular podcasts and have been quite impressed by the quality these days. Last time I listened to podcasts was probably around 2007

In a would where companies just release their old (very successful) games on mobile devices with awful touch screen controls hacked in I am so glad Nintendo do not do that. Sure it would make them some money to sell Mario on the iPhone but

I use this video quite often to show an example of one of the best educational videos I have ever seen. The language, presentation, use of graphics (impressive for the time) and demonstrations is just superb.

C is still my favourite language. Sure it has issues but it works how my brain works or is it my brain works how C works? Either way it just makes sense to me.
84.
by bithush 12y ago
Well yeah, that is like saying learning C# means mastering .NET, MS Build, Visual Studio, WPF, etc. The language is the handle of the umbrella, everything else are the spokes and material between them.

Depends on the kind of puzzle to be honest. I enjoy puzzles (as in a physical puzzle like the author is talking about) but only ones that are not stupidly hard like his Escher puzzle. Sod that! Programming puzzles are very different though.

I had an issue with a single dead pixel on a 3 month of rMBP earlier this year and Apple replaced it (the whole machine!) without any fuss. The Apple tech guy said (and this is pretty much the exact quote) "the rMBP is all about the sc

I miss the editor from pre-VS2010. The WPF based one has so many problems with fonts other than Consolas and Courier New. Such a pain in the ass.

It mentions it uses srm, is that any use with an SSD with wear levelling etc?

Yup. Terry Davis and his TempleOS are quite well known. I believe he suffers from schizophrenia although I do not know if this has been confirmed by anyone? He is certainly a gifted programmer.
