1-7 can be solved with a good dock. This allows you to still use your main machine as a portable machine on the go. I do agree with the other items, especially number 10. It's the one big thing I miss from having a desktop.

I remember going through a tunnel in a shinkansen at around 300kph and doing a speed test as I was surprised to still have full 4g signal. It was faster than the max speed I'd ever recorded back in London. Meanwhile when I was living i

If you are a native English speaker, higher education should not be required for basic writing. There is no requirement to use complicated words, but I'd expect someone to be able to spell correctly (especially on a device with spell c

I always see timeboxing as ensuring that an exploratory task does not blow up in terms of time spent on it. This means you'll hear something like: "I'll timebox improving performance of this feature to a single day; it would

I agree and I'd like to go further: If you're out and about and a person comes up to you and shouts about how the world is controlled by goats in cow suits, your brain will quickly assess the trustworthiness of this person. Is the

But USB-C is used for literally every other new device and even other Apple devices such as their laptops and ipad pros. It's the defacto standard for charging any kind of electronic device.

I agree; you can really see the writing quality diminish when shows just go on forever. The original 'vision' is completely lost and you can almost hear the discussions between writers as they have to come up with new plot twists

Your calculation doesn't count for insurance, tax, maintenance and fuel. That being said, I consider nearly 2 hours a day spent in a car to be a massive amount of time and would definitely want to have my own car if that was the case.

Something like this? https://dotnetfiddle.net/xwYCrt You can also use the Enum static functions in order to get metadata on any enum. If you use attributes such as [Display("Pretty Name")] you can use that to retr

You can ToString() an enum and Enum.Parse a string to an enum. Or are you talking about pretty printing? You can also create reasonably 'generic' extension methods that will work on 'any' Enum. It's a bit more fiddl

I have never wanted a preprocessor and I write both C# and C++. Are you able to share your use-case for one in C#?

Do you have a source on that? I know that they sent some people up to see what NSW was doing but haven't actually heard them say what, if anything, they were going to adopt. There is this 'funny' article from a couple of days

I feel like everyone is talking about Melbourne's lockdown as if it was their first lockdown. This is their second lockdown. They virtually eliminated it during the first lockdown and brought the virus back in via hotel quarantine leak

The Miele dishwasher I used to have in my old flat used around 7 litres per wash. My current, not quite as fancy one, uses around 9 litres. That's like just over a minute of the tap being on full blast for an aerated tap. I am sure you

Yeah I have been using VS for nearly a decade now but I've never 'bricked' it. Sure, sometimes installing new versions alongside old versions could cause issues. But that's a managed process that one team member would do

That is awful and why I have always been very sceptical of software moving to the cloud. Just yesterday I had a similar issue with Resharper, where our local licence server was down for the day. Luckily I was able to enable a 30-day trial.

While I agree, I feel that third-party library consumption is a bit of an edge case (i.e. the majority of your interface implementations won't be wrappers around third-party stuff). Whenever I do work closely with a third-party library

Most BBC articles are written with the UK in mind. In this case it gives advice to the UK readers in case they receive unsolicited packages, like the ones they recently reported about in their US section. I do not see how this is lazy journ

Although I agree in general, I think that most of the time this should be solved on the API level (like your link suggests). This is because although you 'can' name your parameters, there is nothing forcing you to. This means that

For what it's worth, NBN Fttp (and maybe other connection types?) is same-day, usually within the hour. Launtel even have daily rates so you can quickly switch to them if you need a backup provider.
