What is the winforms simple (ie, drag and drop form designer, click through for code) current windows development recommendation. I've seriously lost all track of how to just get up and going. I've tried UWP/WPF etc - they fe

yeah for composition - I ALWAYS liked it much better!

The flip flopping from folks who keep on saying "believe the science" is ridiculous. How can science be trusted if it has these huge flop flops within a week with really no change in underlying research?

The science of mask use and potential benefits has not shifted. That's the issue. Masks work. We had people wearing masks telling us they didn't work. We had the santa clara health official LICK HER FINGERS to turn her page on liv

I've complained about this in the past (and was attacked for it). I'll do it again. If you create a subdomains under your trusted domain, and point those domains to IP address controlled by scammers - you bear some responsibility

Happy ECS on EC2 and ECS on fargate customer. I'd be really surprised if they turn these off - they just work in a very simple way to get stuff running. I have some "scheduled tasks" in containers, they run on fargate - works

Yep - when I questioned my local health authorities guidance that if "healthy" I should take off my mask on crowded public transit and when working with the very elderly (adult day health) I was told to avoid "disinformation&

That's not your call to make. Literally folks with cars are telling folks without cars (but who use uber when needed) that uber is not necessary (ie, partial access to a car is not needed) while they have 24/7 access. Anyone who h

That's a MUCH clearer story! Folks maybe just publish their memos vs these I guess hashed news stories. The Reuters article focused on the layoffs, lack of confirmation on number of layoffs, and PR quote etc - I wish I'd seen this

Ahh - the comment from the person with the multi-car garage, the tesla and the range rover. Walk me through what folks without good car / transit access should be using? If cab companies are "essential" then uber is essential

IntelliJ stuff is usually slow (I like smaller form factor machines). Finally with the 3600 performance is at least reasonable and not annoying. It took forever to get bundled, but you can get Lenovo and I think HP prebuilt machines for thi

This is such a ridiculous statement. Cable companies have taken billion in federal subsidies, lied about universal deployment and speeds, and unless there is local competition have taken customers to the cleaners, forced the purchase of bun

We had a recent example along these lines with certain sports and records where there were some hate speech references to a potential biological basis for differences (men vs women and masters age vs non masters).

Beat me to this. Water also drains clockwise and foucault pendulums process clockwise in northern hemisphere. These are somewhat less likely to have a bearing on the matter than a sundial.

It can be funny though to take them seriously. When I was less responsible (younger) I would do that sometimes. Someone does a BS bunch of lines, stand up and thank them from the staff for committing to the additional resources for staff. F

My impression was cruise was sort of the established players efforts to throw GOBS of money at a space they were worried about. Ie, a place that measures progress in part based on just expense. Ie, waymo's tech is interesting but we ha

yep - the idea that they are doubling down on their engineering talent (2x headcount or 2x salaries or 2x resources) or whatever big bet they claim to be making seems like it might be a lie. The PR guy (Milin Mehta) used to work at Kraken D

Somewhat true. My favorite: "We adhere to the highest ethical principles" - as they give you a 500 page ethics doc that no one reads or follows. But I've actually found it's a good / reliable tell. You just stay awa

doubling down is not about increasing focus. It is about increasing risk by making a BIGGER (not smaller) bet on something. This is in the original meaning in gambling (you are convinced you are right and so double your bet) and elsewhere.

"doubling down on our engineering work and engineering talent,” Cruise spokesperson Milin Mehta told Reuters. Do these folks even try to hide their lies? Doubling down = 2x the engineering staff. This is as they lay off in their lidar

Prices go negative because it's basically a grid control service at that point. You have a load you need to have taken, and are willing to pay someone to help you manage the grid.

Fantastic. The thing is a 100kwh in a car battery is a fantastic amount of power - our condo ranges from 50kwh to 125kwh usage per month. I would love if my smart charger could be wired with a transfer for switch or similar to send 40Amps b

Why not just use the double blind google / apple tech for this? The govt requiring this level of data seems unnecessary.

Temp agencies are actually the WORST. If you do hiring and they get your cell phone number you are hosed.

Plausible deniability? They put it there so you can be tracked - that is what it is for. Have you confirmed that the click through agreements and privacy policies don't mention anything like this?

There are plenty of level 9-10's at amazon who didn't move every 2 years. Pay is around $600 - $900K? Someone can correct. I'm not sure if this is enough for the job hoppers but retention is not terrible (despite the Amazon s

In jurassic age companies you can get up to speed quicker, there is less to wrap your head around and the onsite staff tend to use a simpler approach (manual methods etc). If you think you are "up to speed" on a large company a we

What a pathetic govt then. I've taken almost every precaution (I was way ahead and have masks, hand sanitizer, touchless soap, open doors with disposable tissue and more) but you cannot keep small children under 3 cooped up all day - i

Beaches are not closed where I am, and there is almost no risk at the beach. I'm much more worried about the 80 people in my complex and the shared laundry, elevators, stairs, door handles etc. Does logic / science no longer apply

The focus is not on how we can make this safe, it is how can we control and lock this down. Different approaches, maybe similar outcomes, but one involves much less economic activity.
