The problem with your two-method suggestion is that it's usually not /me/ I'm concerned about. The problem is usually things like "I need to open this file from a synchronous context in a Windows Store App". Th

The single biggest problem I have with async/await in C# is how it requires an act of god to call an async(await) method from a non-async method. And even then, wrapping exceptions and such is a huge pain as well. I would love async if

Windows RT does NOT do this.. They have a few very limited APIs for IPC, such as Search.. other than that, it's very tied down. Even so much so that it's impossible to make a universal file browser. You have to declare ahead of

From an end-user POV, what will using an Arc app entail? Will it be like Flash Player and Java; ie, you download and install Arc once, and then all Arc apps will just work and be super awesome? I had an idea like this, but instead of a VM,

I made a font like this once. I can't remember what tool I used, but I drew the characters with a mouse (at the time I did a lot of drawing with the mouse, so mouse writing was nearly as good as pen writing). It use to be online even j

I like T-Mobile because they are strive to put the consumer first. They may not have the widest coverage, or the fastest speeds, but they usually do a good enough job at coverage/speed. Along with this, their customer support is the on

Why are people willing to pay for screencasts(of any quality), but NEVER for a well written article over the same thing. I personally hate trying to learn things from videos. I can't search it. I can't copy and paste code from it.

The "totally fair" figure isn't the problem. It's Spotify deciding that artists on the top 100 list should get paid substantially more per listen than some indie artist. No matter how good or bad the person on the top 10

I don't think the world is ready yet.. but here is my idea on how to let artists make money in a fair manner without consumers paying too much. Imagine a clone of Spotify. You can do offline streaming and such for all the music in it.

Agree with most of his points. Unknowingly, my blog has followed the same kind of timeline. My current design is not quite minimal, but the content has nothing on the side, I don't have a huge header with a calendar and god knows what else.
