Xamarin just binds the native UI framework and makes some tweaks to adjust it to C# conventions, so you can use the same APIs that native developers use.

I'd be excited about Flutter if it wasn't using a language that I would only ever use to write Flutter apps and literally nothing else, ever.

I automatically read that headline as intended, didn't even smirk. I don't want to forget the absurdity of our world and its little dramas, so thanks for the reminder!

You reacted to the following phrase: > that their success in this society will rely on using and stepping on others who will now have less as a result, if not in their own community then in the international stage. by saying that if the

Almost wanted to downvote you for the pedantic tone, decided to comment instead. What you are saying is not at all self-evident or settled. It's true that business models that create value without being predatory are possible, and sure

Yeah really no need to study this. There's "anecdotal" and then there's "this happens to 80% of people and we have cute euphemisms for when you excuse yourself" and that to me is as good as the most rigorous of

Back in the day commuters and bench-sitters weren't somehow more "present" than they are now, they were just consuming other media. And I wouldn't venerate the books/newspapers of old and sneer at IG quite so much.

Can't upvote this enough. In my experience, if you have the capacity for the occasional obsessive voracious burst of knowledge acquisition, there's no limit to the amount of technology cycles you'll be able to surf, and you&#

We live in a hyper-polarized time and belong to an industry and community (SV) that is both responsible for a lot of that polarization, and is busy trying to remake the world and the experience of the world as it sees fit. We're hardly

Looking forward to hearing about this. On a similar note, why not collect errors from the backend and SPAs too... after all a stack trace is pretty much a stack trace wherever you are. I get that this isn't the market you're servi

Here's a scenario I'm dealing with that must be fairly common. A mobile app running against an Azure backend, where users can also access the app through a SPA on their desktop. I don't want my analytics data spread out over

I don't know any of that terminology or category theory in general, but I'd like to assure anyone who cares that you really don't have to to get the elegance and power of WPF. It was a steep learning curve sure, but totally w

Cross-platform capability is not the only possible motivation to use something like this. Personally, it interests me because I don't see WinForms/WPF/UWP as viable, so right now the web stack is the only capable high-level U

I'm dealing with slick and pretty consumer apps. Getting winforms to be pretty is not reasonable. With WPF, you can get the pretty, and then trying to get it to perform reasonably where no browser would break a sweat will drive you to

Thanks, it does look nicely similar, but I still far prefer NancyFX's modules - this is an awkward context to do all this wiring.

Out of curiosity, what about .net core changed this picture for you?

It's sad that this is getting downvoted here. We are talking about people in miserable circumstances, and while vices are a longterm negative, I, an educated disciplined and well off person, still can't reliably resist them when I

I use VSCode to work on medium-sized VueJS+TypeScript projects (maybe a grand total of 200 code files), and it regularly consumes around 800mb - VS territory. Perhaps it's very sensitive to how it's configured/what plugins ar

The regular Visual Studio uses about the same amount of memory as VSCode while being an order of magnitude more complex and feature-rich.

Oh what a lovely cycle. Every dev knows 16gb is the new 8gb so sure, why not have every desktop app consist of 20 independent webview/node processes. Can't wait until 32gb is the new 16gb. Eventually, when every single desktop app

Huh, why is that? I do a wide range of web development in WSL - npm, gulp, and webpack all work just fine for me. This works great for vue dev, with browsersync and everything. I also have to do a little WP work, and the required LAMP stack

I was exaggerating, it's not that it's totally unsearchable, but it just doesn't have enough structure, so sometimes you get lucky, sometimes a search ends up being a 15 minute spelunking expedition.

Yeah I was another Slack-complainer until I joined an organisation without any sort of business-chat system. That's when my amnesia cleared up and I remembered just what a slog email is without a Slack-like. I remembered that email is

I hate to be so grand but this seems to be a problem across many sectors of the entire western world. Over and over, in many different guises, I hear stories like this one. What characterizes them all is excessive faith in reductionist meas
