Totally agreed on all these, though I've personally gotten around the last one by making use of `using static System.Console;` -- then you can just do `WriteLine(...);` It doesn't solve the fundamental issue, but it definitely mak

Damn, this is fantastic. One big syntactical thing I should really put in a proposal for is null-conditional returns. Turning if(foo != null) return foo; Into return? foo; It fits perfectly with the existing null coalescin

Huh, I just realized that I have no idea about two fundamental questions re: semiconductor fabrication. 1) Do fabs make their own silicon wafers? 2) Are silicon crystals for wafers made from sand relatively directly, or is it broken down an

This is based on Semmle, which they acquired last year. According to their docs ( https://help.semmle.com/lgtm-enterprise/admin/help/sys-requi... ) it supports C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JS, TypeScript, and Python;

The Hololens is still the best I've tested, but admittedly haven't tested the Hololens 2 yet. None are reasonable consumer devices, though; between the terrible FOV and the lack of useful software, none justify their price tags ye

I would have absolutely loved it! I'm not opposed to something that looks silly or cumbersome, as long as it delivers on the functionality and is comfortable to wear.

Unfortunately, that only solves the case of printing strings with newlines, not the case where I might want to continue the line with a space instead, where I'd normally just add "," at the end and call it good. There are ab

Unfortunately, that's a tough one to answer. Since it needs to be decrypted, the only routes right now are: 1) download it on a device and then decrypt it, 2) download it from extremely sketchy, illegal sites, or 3) for bug bounty case

For folks with existing setups they're happy with, my tool doesn't provide much value (aside from more easily working with existing dev tools in Xcode). But the ability to test real-world apps on any iOS version (mostly) and any d

The tool takes in an ARM64 iOS app and spits out one that will run in the Simulator. It basically just makes testing iOS apps as easy as testing Android apps.

I was using Unicorn (based on QEMU), but the license isn't conducive to a closed-source project. So I built my own emulator, which is released under a more friendly license: https://github.com/daeken/libmoonage
