I would say that there's two models driving us to hell. In addition to the ad-supported model, there's also the "everything is a service" model. The AAS model is increasingly the only alternative to the ad-supported mode

About the same age here. One thing that adds to this feeling for me, is that any device I own that has an OS, unless that OS is Linux, feels distinctly hostile. I can't own a handheld computer that's not trying to enmesh me in an

Hybrid Blazor apps are the solution to the desktop story. It's already happening, it's ready to go. It'll take a while to make it official though, too many faces in need of saving. Avalonia is also a very compelling secondary

I've asked myself the same question. While I don't go as far as "never", I do it much less than I used to. Thinking this way can certainly lead to worthwhile and actionable insights. But I think any skilled amateur will

I don't know why this is getting downvoted - it's an eagle-eyed spot of some subtle-but-important language being shifted, sneakily, right underneath us. Amazing how a company as big as MS can influence cultural expectations and no

I can see this being sufficient as far as performance and development-ergonomics. But. I would miss the safety and durability of a (preferably relational) database. In the end, what I would gain in convenience and development speed I would

I love this. Of course it's different if you're in a dangerous neighborhood, but if you're not, dark streets punctuated by orbs of light from reasonably bright street lights are romantic, mysterious, sometimes soothing. It ma

It's literally their job to deal with this. In fact, I think most therapists assume the problem their patients walk in with is not the true problem, and it will take months to just get to the real thing. So, if you walk in without a fu

I use power tools only during working hours and try to never go over a cumulative hour of use per day. In Berlin at least I think it's fine, this city has a DIY-ish culture, lots of apartments have homemade furniture, and the sound of

I wonder if anyone knows of any resources for people who want to maximize the woodworking they can do in an average-sized city apartment. We don't have the space to for a real woodshop. But what we can do is dedicate a sizable closet t

Yup. For a large desktop LOB app. Had to reinvent a few wheels because Blazor is so young (have high hopes to open source some of that). Build automation is a lot simpler for desktop-world. We do wish the framework and community were more m

Same. I spent hours as a ghost gliding around a frozen world. Then I suddenly had to throw the headset off and lie flat on the floor and take deep breaths and try not to throw up. Took an hour for the nausea to go away. That was it for Goog

I think what's missing is a true regulatory grappling with the nature of "platforms." Businesses have long had and used the ability to pull the rug out from under their clients/customers. But the current situation is a d

It's in the nature of the technology. If you can figure out how to do it once, doing it 1000x or 1000000x isn't going to cost you that much more. Quantity is easy, quality is hard. So we've created a selection force for &quot

Through no fault of its own I don't think a better technology has ever existed for the rent seeker to leverage than current digital tech. The whole modern concept of a "platform" puts good old fashioned slumlording and payday
