Yep I’ve got a 2013 MBP I’m too scared to upgrade at the moment. I’ve been weening myself off it and into a Windows 10 desktop recently this solving both problems. Plus the desktop is second hand enterprise stuff and cost virtually nothing

No I was goaded into it by nationalistic, racist, war mongering, pro military family members who spent most of my life telling me blowing shit up and killing people was the best way to solve conflicts because they hated (well really feared)

That is exactly my point.

Yes. I worked for a defence contractor for a while. Everyone had their own justifications for remaining working there effectively supporting and building nothing defence related at all, just offensive strike based killing machines. Graded p

This sounds like the standard Microsoft marketoids. When asked about privacy and telemetry or anything critical the answer is always for a question that wasn’t asked followed by some template brand reinforcement followed by a metric ton of

Sorry I forgot the /s on my original post.

Definitely agree. However it mostly depends on your product being well isolated little chunks of functionality which is rarely the case. So what happens is you end up with a perpetually half baked Cthulhu.

Gnome solved it. Just burn the universe every five years!

I started with 6502, then ARM in 1989 (thanks acorn!), then a little bit of x86. The latter was a culture shock. It’s was like grooming the devil’s genitals in comparison to ARM. It drove me to C and Unix where I’ve been happy ever since (o

Yes I am suggesting the implementation is incorrect. We had a standalone test case for this which could reproduce the condition after a random wait of 1-45 minutes. I will dig it out and raise it against .Net Core if it's still valid t

It's definitely .net. We've observed deadlocks in spin scenarios which came down to this implementation rather than our callers.

Ugh I’d forgotten about Perl reports. Gave up on that circa 2001 when I discovered python!

“Lossless” analogue transmission isn’t lossless. It’s just less lossy than the lossy forms of analogue transmission. As a very simplified example it’s really easy to modulate an analogue value in the frequency domain and maintain accuracy a

You're right actually but I suppose it'll keep the low paid javascript devs out of my market.

We're mostly just bitter from years of being beaten with it. I can't actually face using node.js as an example. It is physically painful compared to other options that I have dealt with (flask, asp.net). Also for me, I've be

Not only that, billions of hours of invested time and knowledge will be thrown out of the window instantly and everyone who integrates anything with Office will have to start again from scratch. Literally at least a third of the world is bu

This is good news for those of us who have to deal with VSTO, MSI packaging and all that cack. At last it might not feel like being buggered by a traffic cone repeatedly.

I agree. They already sell Smartwater. Because it has got electrolytes.

We've got some non production facing stuff being hammered with the default postgres config. It's actually surprisingly good out of the box. We run on the basis that we will tune it if we need to with that and we haven't had t

Missing or invalid data can however cause an application outage instead when the guarantees of the RDBMS are no longer true. You can't win so don't try. Go for consistency throughout or handle lack of it and choose a different cla

Tooling is cheaper and more reliable at least. Honestly I find the situation better than 20 years ago now on the embedded processor front. The worst thing we have now is broken shitty standard libs and compilers. You can dodge around those

Now you see here lies the problem. No one knew that who was using appfabric. We just got crapped on with this blog post and got told to move on and take our self hosted stuff to azure which at the time was a ball ache: https://bl

For typical workloads that doesn’t make a whole load of difference. 10% difference in API meh. 90% of the latency and load is what goes on behind that and that’s your party not theirs.

Exactly the other side of my point. Once it’s supoorted it’s good.

Does anyone remember MS Velocity / AppFabric Cache? No. Because it was crap and they canned it suddenly. Really, if they are still supporting this in 3 years and it materialises into the promises I will take a look again. I will never

Typical MS roadmap schizophrenia. Honestly I maintain some WPF hanging out of the side of a product and I wish I had built it in winforms now.
