Here’s more about commenting style: https://github.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers/blob/ma... StyleCop is used for analyzing code style in C# code. Specifically: > If the comment is being used to com

A common code style rule for C# is // for comments and //// for commented out code (/// is reserved for documentation generation). StyleCop analyzers can enforce this during code analysis passes.

It’s particularly annoying that YouTube doesn’t even tell you what it was that was hidden.

I’ve long struggled to “get” functional programming - both its syntax, and it’s real world uses. Everything is so terse and abstract and I find the lack of clear expressiveness to be daunting. It all often feels too “magic” to me which make

Thank you for posting this. I don’t type “properly” either and even though I type quickly even with an unorthodox style I still feel self-conscious about it at times.

I’m not sure that it sounded better - it was more that the quality was “good enough” for the amount of precious disk space that was used. Back before mp3s became ubiquitous, you could rip a CD to .wav files and it would basically sound iden

This is really good stuff! I’ve found much of Apple’s documentation on how to use SwiftUI to show samples without really explaining how they work or why they are the way they are. I’ve only spent a few minutes skimming through the slides fo

Right? I don’t really use all my fingers most of the time. It’s pretty unorthodox. I can easily get 120+ WPM with pretty good correctness. I’m self taught so I just picked up something that worked for me at a young age and ran with it. I ca

What a great article! Some super clear explanations and code samples.

Original Macs actually had 1 bit graphics. “Gray” was done by clever placement of the black and white dots in different patterns to look gray at a distance.

At my BigCorp just finding the right channel can be very difficult and channels can be a lightly monitored dead end. That being said I have no problem if someone says, “can you ask this on the Foobar channel?”

Relentless prioritization. I like that.

I have a link to this site in my chat status. It drives me crazy when someone says “hello” and waits for a reply, or asks if they can ask me a question. In all cases this feels like my time is being wasted. Just go in and ask your question.

Clickbait title isn’t really accurate. You’ve always had this ability by using P/Invokes, but it’s never been easy. It requires a lot of domain knowledge (or copy-pasta that may cause other problems) to actually get it to work. It’s al

I’ve literally removed the panic button from my remote because of this. I got sick of accidentally pressing it. Removal was super easy to do and reversible. When I opened the remote (like to replace the battery) it was simple to pop out the

I’m a programmer by trade (and I like to think I’m pretty competent), but self-trained. Algorithms have always been a weakness of mine as a result of a lack of formal training. While I use XOR for some simple Boolean comparisons out of conv

The USG3P can do gigabit (I get very close to gigabit speeds in internet speed tests - ~950/950) but I can’t use IPS/IDS without severe performance penalties. It basically becomes a fancy router with little in the way of actual “s

I’m not sure how it is that they still don’t have a hardware update to the USG3P that can enable both IPS and DPI without throttling network speeds to sub-80Mbps speeds. It’s been years now. I’m a big fan of the ecosystem and I’ve recommend

He has so many classic must-read articles that are just as relevant today as when they were written some 10+ years ago. The technologies may have changed but the sentiments sure haven’t.

Interesting! I don’t remember the name of the program (it was some shareware program I downloaded in the mid 1990s) but I’m pretty certain it used those Fechner discs to create the illusion.

I knew there were IA64 versions of Windows Server 2003/2008/2008R2 and there was an X64 version of XP but I didn’t realize there was also an IA64 version of XP. TIL. I once had an IA64 workstation that I used for testing a product

Have newer Lenovo laptops fixed the keyboard matrix issues where typing too quickly causes the speaker to beep? Words like “should”, “would” or anything that may risk an n-key rollover problem have plagued Lenovo laptop keyboards for me for

This thread basically gave me a mild panic attack so I guess I’m right there with you.
