Yeah and it is quite useful. I used it when I was moving house with my daughter a few months back. Was invaluable for coordinating our efforts at loading and unloading vehicles.

Lockdown was bliss for pollution here in London. Air smelled totally different. We don’t want more lockdowns but we need to fix society so we don’t have to travel so much on a daily basis.

I think it’s down to incompetent returns handling. People buy a 500GB SSD and a 2TB SSD at the same time and return the 500GB one in the 2TB box. No one checks the return properly and it goes back to the warehouse and is sent out again. I e

Having spoken to a lot of Android users, and being a former rampant Android fanboy myself, I think people are fed up of getting screwed by Android vendors. The software support doesn't last particularly long, the support and repair net

To be fair moving from rackspace to an OVH datacentre that's on fire is a step up from my experience. I occasionally have to deal with a Rackspace acquisition and it's hell.

We blocked the entire of Linode AS63949 ranges because we were getting attacked from random owned nodes and it was tripping our IDS constantly. Just got fed up with it in the end and decided to hose them. To note, we have had problems with

Well it's 50000% less shit than Citrix for a start.

Sounds like you need an Apple Watch. Not sure if it works with spotify but I run with just my watch and my airpods.

Many years ago I was working for a defence contractor and an idiot hit the TOTAL ERASE button on an HSM. This all went to hell when no one could work out how to load the keys into it again for nearly two weeks...

If I could have rolled back time I'd have used Java and Spring. If I pick now it'd be a composite application based on microservices built in pretty much out of the box Go. I have a proven 8 year low maintenance cycle project on t

Macbook air isn't a lot larger or heavier, especially when you add a keyboard case to it. In fact my MBA weighs less than my MBP with the logitech case on it.

No there's a happy medium in the middle. They took the approach of starting with a bowl and adding holes as required rather than start with a sieve and try and fill all the bad holes up.

1. It's pretty terrible doing it remotely as well. I ran off iOS for a whole three months only for personal stuff. It's wearing gloves when you don't have to. 2. Yes and no. It uses finger emulation on iOS. There is precision

This is hilarious and spot on.

You can actually build code in swift playgrounds on iOS.
256.
by hughrr 5y ago
1. Yes. Remotely 2. Sort of. It has good keyboard support and completely different mouse support to most platforms. 3. It probably isn’t within the thermal envelope specified and the storage available. 4. Surface is horrible so I’m not sure

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about nor have dealt with significantly sized enterprise platforms. In fact there was a hell of a lot of churn while Microsoft pissed around with the MVC middleware stack implementation and throwin

We don’t communicate via GitHub any more. See my other comments. Also the assistant doesn’t help with the numerous third party components which were never ported to core, the entire MVC stack internal changes or the changes that took place

It was roughly on par with iOS development now strangely enough. But with a light weight windows forms abstraction. We did unholy things on CE which were quite impressive.

That would be horrible. My handwriting is terrible.

by hughrr 5y ago
Actually that’s not it. It’s not suitable because of the modality, window management and state and data management concepts which are all compromises required for high efficiency touch driven mobile devices.

Our software broke that.

But with .Net you're pushing a trolley full of cans down the road while dressed in rags.

I can't wait until this one backfires on them. A good take on government competence on this sort of stuff was done by Brass Eye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRw1ERj2Gc

Yeah, use Qt instead :)

Agree on the desktop. The peak of development was when Windows, Visual Studio and .Net framework releases were synchronised and we were targeting Windows Forms. That was almost bliss. I got so much work done. That started in 2002 and ended

I'm not sure why you'd want to use it as a development device when there is a not much heavier MacBook Air available with the same brain in it. I actually ran from September 2021 to January 2022 with just my iPad Pro as a computer

I've stopped caring but if I had to I could be paid a lot more to do something more productive. But sometimes it's nice to sit there and watch visual studio crash 30 times a day or lagging out when I hit a key because it makes me

Yeah those ORMs were horrible. We used NHibernate what with being sold down the river by Udi Dahan on domain modelling etc. That was a huge mistake too. Dapper is the only ORM that hasn't screwed us in some way.

It was pretty much always open source and cross platform. The original version wasn't even developed on windows: https://github.com/SSCLI/sscli20_20060311 Although being open source and free doesn't necessari
