I use paper a lot, but no notebook. What I find disturbing with them is the mixing of different projects stuff. Also I prefer to have a lot of space for drawing. That's why I use blank gridded A4 paper sheet. Then I put together projec

You need some precise combinaison of Windows and Visual Studio to target a given version of Windows Phone. At least if you want to use emulators, you'll need a Windows 8 to target WP8 (otherwise Win7 is fine IIRC). Windows 10 is requir

Yes I did. I needed to hook a custom build step in the build process of a Windows Phone application. But interfacing with MSBuild is not only editing the XML file, it is also about creating tasks in .net that can be called by MSBuild. In th

Love existed in the language way before the XIX century: 'ai' (愛), 'koi' (恋) but interestingly enough, these are also loanwords (from Chinese).

The Canon one is interesting. The logo made it clear the name come from a buddhist deity, which is not clear in the new one giving the romanization used is different from the most common one (Kannon).

Same here. I bought that one for my study but finally it was used by all my family (big error to put it on the network) who print 500+ copies with the original cartbridge. Given it was almost the same price as laser printer (~100€), it happ

And even to Alsace/Elsass imo as it also has a lot of towns ending in -heim, -haus, -hausen, etc.

Which is not really that usefull given how different usage and behavior a desktop and a smartphone app have. Even as a former Windows Phone hobbyist developer I don't have any interest in this API because I think the programming model

For listening I recently discovered PopChinese ( http://popupchinese.com/ ) which provide free podcasts. I like it because even beginner level dialogs are spoken at real speed. And I see the fact they only provide transcripts

Sure the alphabet is a big plus for someone who doesn't know any Chinese (nor Korean or Japanese). In the contrary the old writing system (chữ nôm) could be extremely useful for learning vocabulary given how many words are from Chinese

Actually assembly is the minimal unit of deployment, not compilation. The minimal unit of compilation is the netmodule[1]. You can compile from different languages as netmodules, then link the resulting netmodules together in an assembly. B

I just find an article about it in "Le Courrier du Vietnam" I was reading. I took a picture for those who are interested (it is in French). http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=707393WP20150725190...

In the Chinese case I read there are political implications for using "language" vs "dialect". Chinese is a very diverse country (geographically, ethnically, linguistically) and keeping the whole country unified is the r

If you prefer C# over Java, well, it is better. Learning both a new platform and a new language (especially Objective-C in the days Swift didn't exists) is a daunting task and Xamarin can ease the pain here. Also it is great to be able

Because a large part of Japanese language (and Korean and Vietnamese for that matter) is made of loanwords of Chinese origin (漢語) it made some sense to bring them together (albeit I suspect it is often done because Japanese use Chinese char

Since I also wrote a toy VM where the toolchain supports linking of different code files (albeit the runtime doesn't implement CALL / RET) I decided to make a blog post about this specific topic. https://netspring.wordp
