The performance improvements that Ben Adams and other ASP.NET Core contributors have made haven't been Windows specific for the most part. Personally, I do most of my perf testing on Windows, but that doesn't mean Linux is complet

Fortunately, the PDFs already contain the plain text as metadata. I believe they are what are known as a searchable image PDFs. The code posted here isn't doing any OCR, but whatever generated the PDFs (Acrobat?) might have.

I understand the viewpoint that greater moderation power should go those who contribute more. But as a fellow long-time lurker, I think accounts like ours make up for the long tail of HN contributions particularly in the form of comments. I

Thanks for pointing this out. It may seem obvious, but I never before considered how the simple grammatical mistakes I frequently make disproportionately hinder the ability of non-native speakers to efficiently comprehend my posts. Your com

While I agree that correcting grammar isn't usually that productive, I think that mixing up "your" and "you're" is probably indicative of a native English speaker. I doubt that "your" and "you&#x

No need to be rude. The video itself implies that the sample wasn't cleared. I wouldn't expect everyone who saw this post to watch the video AND read the whole thing. Still, you're right of course.

While I agree that the NFL is certainly not a charity, I'm not sure that the NFL's nonprofit status is necessarily indicative of the league exploiting loopholes. I have always been led to believe that all league profits are shared

Even worse. I found myself in situations where I cleared the middle section of one gate and, without any movement on my part at all, hit the next gate even though it also had an open middle section. This happened to me twice with a gate at

Bad analogy. The only reason it is acceptable to shoot a trespasser invading your home is the issue of safety. There aren't that many people who would back up a landlord shooting their delinquent tenants with a shotgun either. As with copyr
