Early comment in the thread but I wonder if the overall “zeitgeist” opinion of C#/.NET/Microsoft has changed. Used to be in /. days that a lot of people stayed away from Microsoft stuff, preferring Python, Ruby. Then Stack Ov

Just seeing the thread frequency of anti-SPA stuff on HN makes me shake my head. I don’t get the viscerally negative reaction. I think people are pidgeonholed in their jobs to whatever framework someone picked and they feel powerless to cha

Not only will you not own anything, but from an early age we’ll enslave your mind and control your attention span. We have industries of people working day in, day out to perfect this formula. We will blame any concern or problem you have o

I had something very strange occur to me. I realized one of my eyes was weaker than the other; specifically my right eye (I’m right handed, right footed I suppose). I would every so often close one eye, then the other, just to compare and t
