October 5th, 2017 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single software company, but l

In one of the linked posts he says that 100% test coverage might not be truly achievable, but it's nonetheless a valid asymptote to aspire to. I think that exact argument applies to designing ever-safer, ever-better languages. You migh

The way I did was adding a MSBuild script that re-generates the dacpacs for each supported MSSQL version when you compile using a special configuration in Visual Studio (so the dropdown is Debug / Release / RebuildDacpacs). Then t

I'm not sure. The return address is printed on the back of an envelope, whereas the sender's email address is prominently displayed at the top of everything you send. It's a subtle difference, but IMO a relevant one. I think

Gmail asks you for your current email address, but it isn't actually required. I just tried it and made a new account in two clicks. I assume the same applies to at least some of the others.

I'd go further, I think I might disagree with the ruling. When you write under my.name@company.com, you are representing the company to some degree. Things you write are things the company could be called to answer for, if not in the c

I'm not sure it would be such a huge difference from now, when the US government can go through the NSA to acquire data from internet companies. Surely if you had a document the contents of which you wouldn't want the US governmen

Not worth it for Paint alone, but you might want to consider using something like Ninite (if you want the least possible hassle) to install most of your favourite apps on all your machines with one click.

I agree about default values, but named parameters have other benefits beyond acting as makeshift configuration options. 1) More readable code. The classic is foo.Bar(true). It breaks the flow of reading to have to hover and see what that &

The way to go with foobar is to download a premade UI you like. Sometimes the installation process is a little convoluted, but nothing compared to customizing its UI yourself from scratch. Back when I used foobar a lot, my go-to UI artist w
