Async methods are mainly used in .Net apps that use an UI-thread paradigm since you avoid blocking the UI thread for things like IO calls

Community dynamics is incredibly hard, managing it under growth and after a certain threshold even more so, and radical change is almost impossible. It's easy to say that someone has been too lax or too firm but it's such a comple

Over the years I've become more and more convinced that debugging has done a lot to develop my problem solving skills and analytical thinking in general. It's like being a full-time modern times Sherlock Holmes with the crime scen

I think those things are usually done with clicks of people while a "fika" will often apply to all in office. Like you yell "Hey, everyone let's go fika, and everyone goes fika". It's also usual to have a set

Yes, but there's also more implication of baked goods and communal chat with your colleagues

I think you've misinterpreted, they're not pulling out of phones... just focusing on a fewer number of phones. Seems like a new flagship is coming around September If you think MS ever would "pull out" of mobile and be s

hmm, I doubt it applies to Windows Forms and WPF... but I could be wrong

Yeah, I've been a heavy Resharper user for a long time as well... but now I almost don't know which bulbs and stuff is VS and what is Resharper :) and Resharper re-binds some shortcuts. Feels like Resharper is a couple of steps in

Hmm, in what sense, or do you mean it's feasible now? I was thinking that whenever I press F5 it should instantly run. It's insane that the computer just loiters around and doesn't compile until you explicitly tells it to,

I'm really loving how the refactor and generate stuff has developed over the years. It is such a different experience these days and I'm probably at least five times as productive as a result of it. First we had no refactor tools

Ah, Intellitrace is pretty neat but I must confess I very seldom use it. For some scenarios it might be crucial but for most app development I think you can manage without it

Uh, so if I'm interpreting everything correctly indie developers for Windows/Phone 8/10 can use community edition. The only feature really missing is TFS/Code Lens). That's pretty great! no need for me to keep payi

I think it's a little unfair towards Reddit. Any community large enough will be taken over by trolls if nothing else for the fact that they're the ones making the most noise. Subreddits are perfect way to contain those people away

Yes, it's probably closer to functional programming than OOP, but I feel that strict functional programming doesn't adapt well to some use-cases, and there really needs to be a modular model involved as well. I think a new mainst

Yeah, but the problem with C# is not that it isn't working, and it is pretty legible and easy to understand. The problem is the syntax and lack of some abstractions. F# syntax is probably more suited for a certain style of programming.

On a related note, I really dislike the dispatcher paradigm, especially with the inclusion of async-await. For good performance of IO async calls you usually want to call .ConfigureWait(false), otherwise it will wait for the UI context to s

To make it perfectly clear , "async void" should be replaced with "async Task" The async stuff is interesting in that akin to generics it has an almost cancerous effect on your code. When you start using them they tends

Yeah, it's surprising there isn't any tools for vetting questions, and perhaps requiring accounts to have a certain age or karma... then again it kinda goes against the openness of reddit, which is nice and all but tends to break

I think a lot of the reddit administration tools, subreddit settings etc is still is catching up to its popularity

I'd be surprised if it was about that (at least only) and not more about reddit wanting to bring AMA's back to a team at their SF office rather than NY... but your guess is as good as mine

What a circus reddit has become. There's probably/hopefully more to this story but still. It will be interesting to see if reddit forces the hands of the biggest subreddits to open again. Which raises an interesting question, who
