Yeah, I second that. I starts out very credible but if you examine what they say, especially regarding sugar and carbs it becomes very clear that it's vegan propaganda and skewing its facts heavily

Well one reason to build native UWP apps is that you do animation on the composition layer, thus ensuring 60 fps. It makes quite a difference in the feeling of animated UI, side menus etc. I agree though that app stores for desktop apps, se

One habit that I think is important, and often overlooked, is to be able to break out of a mindset and questioning yourself with: "Am I solving the problem at the correct level, using the appropriate method/technique/tool? D

There's a few downsides with your approach IMO. a) You now have an AppleVersion Property as well as Version Property, that feels potentially confusing for any user of that class. I now have to find the differently named Version propert

From hanging around in r/redditdev I got an impression there was an exodus of much of the experienced backend team about a year ago when there was so much drama (Kemitche and at least two more people I think). Maybe it has taken some

Well, I've been writing C# for 17 years, and I've came across it twice, so it is a very niche solution for certain circumstances. I can't say it's the only solution, but in those instances it was the one that offered the

Hi, sorry for the delay, had to pop into a meeting. I tried to make a very scaled down example of what I mean. It's hard to imagine a real-world scenario from this but assume that according to the architecture we need to separate conce

Well, that's flattering I guess :) But it's not as bad as it sounds and the only way (AFAIK) to be able to work with both polymorphic objects and have the convenience (and type checking) of a generic counterpart. Limiting yourself

Beware though of improperly (or too eagerly) used generics. I've noticed they tend to spread like a cancer throughout a library and reduce the polymorphism of the code. It's usually a good idea to be provide both an generic and a
