I'm a bit divided about Stack Overflow. On one hand side it's simply one, if not the best, resource for programmers. On the other hand it's become somewhat toxic and counterproductive. The better you become as a programmer th

I generally like var, however one thing I've found to bite me in the ass occasionally is using var for results returned from asynchronous operations... and then forgetting to use await on it :)

I actually think it's catch-22 with popularity as well as being a bit niché. * When choosing language/platform for enterprise projects (where .Net is most commonly used) the company will go with one where they can find/have

Yeah... they're really handy for separating generated code from user code... but having to segment classes with them is a rather foul code smell :) Haha, wow, that's another way to go I guess. It never ceases to amaze me how inexp

Well that's one harmful pattern, but by no means the only one, you also have "The Blob". I once worked on a project where the code in general was pretty good but the programmers had seemingly no knowledge of design patterns a

Nice building, looks very Scandinavian/danish to me for some reason :)

There's a really interested building material called CLT (cross-laminated timber) that's exceptionally strong and durable, and has good fire resistant properties. In Sweden some have started building houses out of them since their

Yeah, I think lots of uses of out in the .Net framework are from the early days and a little bit of a mistake. Since they can't remove them this is suppose to make them easier to work with. TryGetValue comes to mind, but I agree overal

Wow, lot's of great stuff! I especially like local functions, I'm all for breaking up complicated methods into several methods to simplify and clarify syntax... but it always felt weird that all those methods where on an class sco

JSON is nice for structured data but when it comes to more mixed document style data XML is preferable IMO

I think the whole notion of programming language as pure text and even using "files" as a unit is veering towards obsoletion. We do it that way because that's the way it's always been done, but I can see plenty of cases

Yeah, but that combined with that it's forbidden to circumvent paying inside the app puts app providers in a weird position. For somewhat technical savvy I guess it's not much of problem but I can imagine my mom would be confused

Apple is being a bit greedy when it comes to subscriptions for high-grossing services IMO. Spotify already has razor thin margins and paying out minuscule licensing fees to content producers, it's not viable to pay out 15-30% off the t

Write a lot of code, continually rewrite it for the dumbest version of yourself. Writing code should be highly iterative, and learning to code is as well. The more you write the better you get, and the more you will realize how crappy your

I think Berlin and Stockholm are two of the front runners of being "Startup Capital" (whatever that is suppose to mean), having lived in both I can offer some reflections, IMHO of course. Stockholm is pretty great when it comes to

Anyone have the problem that instead of procrastination you start adding new features because that's more interesting/challenging than the drudge work that remains. So you're constantly doing a little drudge work and a little

Well, I don't think flatness per se is to blame but there should be some affordances to hint what's actionable. Whether that is color/shadows etc might be up for discussion

Unfortunately often it's not as simple as that, you have to offset many difference things: ergonomics, aesthetics, intuitiveness, efficiency, information density etc etc. If you drew "using time as an absolute measure" you&#x

yes, .Net Native runs the managed code through a modified version of the c++ compiler and gains some benefits from it's optimization, not sure how much of a difference that does however. Good talk here: https://channel9.msdn

True, and I'm not sure there would be much point. .Net native is mainly to reduce startup times and reduce memory footprint

by mhomde 11y ago
That's no longer true with Windows 10 where .Net Native compiles everything into native code directly
