For non-students, first 30 days are $0 (maybe that's enough " to see if they even like C# "), then it's less than $15 per month after. Perhaps not truly free, but within reach for most people. Also, the EAP is $0 (althou

Because I don't like to enter my card details into a random site. Even if I trust the company in general, I still don't know how secure their infrastructure is. Having a dedicated card/account for just paypal is easier.

Search for "receive sms online" Sorry for the "lmgtfy" type of answer, but I generally do that search then pick a site at random.

There are at least 2 factors you miss: - The EU would have less of an influence than Westminster does. - The people of Scotland believe their desires are more aligned with those of other countries, than with England.

I strongly believe that R&D teams should have some time reserved to "do what you want" (limited to product improvement, obviously) Perhaps this might not be appropriate in the gaming industry... and who knows if Rockstar don&#

VMs virtualise hardware, containers virtualise the OS. Simply, it's like: `mount disk.img dir && chroot dir` Or in Windows.. mounting a disk image to X: drive, then starting an application with SystemDrive=X:, SystemRoot=X:\Win

I've found using tinyurl (or hosting/redirecting the download page yourself) is generally best for that. I use AnyDesk - it was the first one I found which requires no installation (and when I got access, I added a link on the des

> That said I'm interested in what jQuery can do that vanilla JS can't. jQuery is written in JS, so jQuery can't do what JS can't. The main reason for using jQuery, as you say, is a cleaner API for DOM manipulation...

Right. However, jQuery isn't just for cross-browser. It provides a clean API for manipulating the DOM, as this site demonstrates (which is ironic): https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ Personally, for simple sites, I aim

For most random websites, it would probably be better to close your account. As you are using Chrome, you already have a password manager. Also, since chrome is warning you about these passwords, it obviously knows your passwords - so you a

You're right, WinRT should have been much sooner. However, there wouldn't have been much hope for a cross-platform .NET if it were COM based... and cross-platform is one of the things keeping .NET relevant - Personally, I was (rel

MFC, or plain C/C++ win32. But yeh, Delphi was much better than VB (like how turbo pascal was better than QBasic), however it was more of a niche environment used mostly by independent vendors making consumer apps.

VB.net was just awful. Only existed for a migration path, but the learning curve from VB6->VB.net is roughly the same as going to C#.

Use github for what you want. However, when you put the link on your CV, you chose to use it as a portfolio. But for me, experimental work is fine - I use github for conversation items.

For me, there are no "red" flags when looking at someone's public code. I consider them as conversation items. I don't think anyone is expecting to see multiple completed products with 1k+ stars. The worst case is, you w

Win32 is what I would call native, and MFC/WinForms are wrappers around that. So in technical sense, WinUI is as native as Qt/wxWidgets. Just my preference on terminology, rather than anything against WinUI (I've been develop

You're right. On Windows, the current "native" UI toolkit is WinUI. I quoted "native", because it's not really native. It's just what's in active development by Microsoft at this point in time. Crea

Perhaps the developer should have discussed their ideas before investing their time, if they're going to be upset about their unsolicited code being rejected.
